  • InterfacePrefix now defaults to "cali", which is a safe default that happens to be the correct value for container systems.
  • MAC address field in endpoint objects is now optional. If omitted, the MAC address is not policed in iptables.
  • Add support for running Felix on RedHat 6.5+ and other distributions with glibc 2.12+ and kernel 2.6.32+ via creation of Python 2.7 PyInstaller bundle.

1.4.0-pre1

  • Add floating IP support (via 1:1 NAT) in Felix.
  • Add tiered security policy based on labels and selectors (PR #979). Allows for a rich, hierarchical security model.

1.3.0

  • Felix now parses the etcd snapshot in parallel with the event stream; this dramatically increases scale when under load.
  • Various performance and scale improvements.
  • Removed support for Python 2.6. python-etcd no longer supports 2.6 as of 0.4.3.
  • Add IpInIpTunnelAddr configuration parameter to allow the IP address of the IPIP tunnel device to be set.
  • Add IptablesMarkMask configuration parameter to control which bits are used from the iptables forwarding mark.
  • Increase default size of ipsets and make configurable via the MaxIpsetSize parameter.
  • Bug fixes, including fixes to NAT when using IPIP mode.

1.2.2

  • Don't report port deletion as an error status.
  • Improve leader election performance after restart.
  • Catch additional python-etcd exceptions.
  • Reduce election refresh interval.
  • Resolve "Felix dies if interface missing" on Alpine Linux.
  • Rebase to latest 2015.1.2 and 2014.2.4 upstream Ubuntu packages.

1.2.1

  • Fix Felix ipset exception when using IPIP.
  • Use iptables protocol numbers not names.
  • Fixes to diagnostics collection scripts.
  • Pin networking-calico pip version.
  • Really delete routes to ns-* devices in pre-Liberty OpenStack.

1.2.0

  • Add liveness reporting to Felix. Felix now reports its liveness into etcd and the neutron driver copies that information to the Neutron DB. If Felix is down on a host, Neutron will not try to schedule a VM on that host.
  • Add endpoint status reporting to Felix. Felix now reports the state of endpoints into etcd so that the OpenStack plugin can report this information into Neutron. If Felix fails to configure a port, this now causes VM creation to fail.
  • Performance enhancements to ipset manipulation.
  • Rev python-etcd dependency to 0.4.1. Our patched python-etcd version (which contains additional patches) is still required.
  • Reduce occupancy of Felix's tag resolution index in the common case where IP addresses only have a single owner.
  • Felix now sets the default.rp_filter sysctl to ensure that endpoints come up with the Kernel's RPF check enabled by default.
  • Optimize Felix's actor framework to reduce message-passing overhead.
  • Truncate long output from FailedSystemCall exception.
  • Add instructions for use with OpenStack Liberty.

1.1.0

  • Improve the documentation about upgrading a Calico/OpenStack system.
  • Fix compatibility with latest OpenStack code (oslo_config).
  • Use posix_spawn to improve Felix's performance under heavy load.
  • Explicitly use and enable the kernel's reverse path filtering function, and remove our iptables anti-spoofing rules, which were not as robust.

1.0.0

  • Add support for setting MTU on IP-in-IP device.
  • Enhance BIRD configuration and documentation for graceful restart.

0.28

  • Felix now restarts if its etcd configuration changes.
  • Felix now periodically refreshes iptables to be robust to other processes corrupting its chains.

0.27

  • Limit number of concurrent shell-outs in felix to prevent file descriptor exhaustion.
  • Have felix periodically resync from etcd and force-refresh the dataplane.
  • Stop restarting Felix on Ubuntu if it fails more than 5 times in 10 seconds.
  • Move DHCP checksum calculation to Neutron.
  • Get all fixed IPs for a port.

0.26

  • Update and improve security model documentation.
  • Streamline conntrack rules, move them to top-level chains to avoid duplication.
  • Narrow focus of input iptables chain so that it only applies to Calico-handled traffic.
  • Provide warning log when attempting to use Neutron networks that are not of type 'local' or 'flat' with Calico.
  • Handle invalid JSON in IPAM key in etcd.
  • Move all log rotation into logrotate and out of Felix, to prevent conflicts.
  • Change log rotation strategy for logrotate to not rotate small log files.
  • Delay starting the Neutron resynchronization thread until after all the necessary state has been configured, to avoid race conditions.
  • Prevent systemd restarting Felix when it is killed by administrators.

0.25

  • Remove stale conntrack entries when an endpoint's IP is removed.

  • Fix bug where Calico may not propagate security group rule changes from OpenStack.
  • Reduced logspam from Calico Mechanism Driver.

0.23

  • Reset ARP configuration when endpoint MAC changes.
  • Forget about profiles when they are deleted.
  • Treat bad JSON as missing data.
  • Add instructions for Kilo on RHEL7.
  • Extend diagnostics script to collect etcd and RabbitMQ information.
  • Improve BIRD config to prevent NETLINK: File Exists log spam.
  • Reduce Felix logging volume.
