Version 1.10

Version 1.10.0 | MARK I (Features release) | 2025-11-29

The 1.10.x releases require Python 3.10 or later as well as PostgreSQL 14 or later.

API Breaking Changes

  • Rename IX-API url field to api_url
  • The Community model has been moved from the peering app to bgp. Accordingly, its REST API endpoint has been moved from /api/peering/communities/ to /api/bgp/communities/
  • The routing_policies variable of configuration template now returns routing policies to be set on the router instead of all recorded routing policies

New Features

Support fields and exclude API query parameters (#942)

This change normalizes the default set of fields to use for all models within the REST API. The id, url, display_url (when available) and display fields are now always exposed in both regular and nested serializers.

It also introduces the fields and exclude query parameters that take comma separated lists of fields that must be returned or excluded by API serializers. This can be useful when users are interested in having just a limited set of fields when querying the API.

Finally, the config_context for objects having it is now exposed. It will provide a full rendered config context which should be more complete than the local_context_data field.

Add mechanism to hide available peers (#392)

A new HiddenPeer model has been introduced. It is used to track potential peers to hide and not show in available peer list. This can be used for example when a potential peer refused to peer for various reasons, it can be therefore hidden so it won't be shown for a given IXP anymore.

A peer matching a hidden peer record will be hidden indefinitely, unless the record is deleted or the record until timestamp is in the past. Expired records won't be deleted by the housekeeping task, so they will remain until a user deletes them.

Store AS lists (#858)

This change adds a new as_list field to autonomous system objects. This field is used to store a list of ASN that can be part of the AS paths of routes advertised by an AS. This is useful to design robust policies.

This change also deprecates the grab_prefixes command in favour of the get_irr_data one. While they are fairly similar, the latter will cache AS lists in addition to prefixes.

Finally, a new as_list Jinja2 filter is introduced to be able to use AS lists inside templates. Using this filter will populate the AS list for the autonomous system if it has not been cached previously.

Allow per AS overrides of IRR operations (#128)

This change implements several ways to control how prefix lists and AS lists are retrieved by giving per autonomous system granular customization.

  • Add a boolean field to control whether prefixes should be retrieved
  • Add a boolean field to control whether AS list should be retrieved
  • Add a char field to override IRR sources to use instead of the generally configured ones
  • Add a char field to override bgpq3/bgpq4 args to get IPv6 prefixes instead of the generally configured ones
  • Add a char field to override bgpq3/bgpq4 args to get IPv4 prefixes instead of the generally configured ones

Enhancements

  • #941 Validate IP pair for direct sessions (addresses must be different, in the same network and not network or broadcast addresses)
  • #720 Add filters to allow filtering IXP sessions without corresponding PeeringDB records or in an abandoned state
  • #943 Add API endpoint /api/extras/prefix-list/ to retrieve the prefix lists given a list of AS or AS-SETs (possible parameters can be found in the documentation)
  • Add warning when using IX-API version 1, IX-API version 1 is now deprecated and will be phased out by the IXPs using it on 2026-07-01
  • Add "Is Abandoned" column in IXP session table
  • Add session count column to IXP table
  • Add LOGIN_FORM_HIDDEN setting to hide username/password form login and display only SSO based authentication methods
  • Add REST API request counts metrics in Prometheus exporter
  • Add routing_policies Jinja2 filter for router

Bug Fixes

  • Fix small always present horizontal scrolling
  • Fix "Local AS" not being set by default in router and send e-mail to network forms

Code Housekeeping / Code Quality

  • Upgrade to Django 5.2
  • Add official support for Python 3.13 and Python 3.14

Documentation

  • Add a "Getting started" page that explain the concepts found in Peering Manager
  • Add documentation for the new HiddenPeer model
