[RPKI] Krill 0.15.0 ‘But I Digress’ released

[Martin Hoffmann]

Hi!

We have just released Krill versions 0.15.0 ‘But I Digress.’

This release primarily contains a lot of changes under the hood –
refactoring of code and update of dependencies – most of which
shouldn’t be visible to users. There are, however, two breaking changes
that may be important.

First, we refactored command line parsing of the `krillc` and
`krillta` tools. As a result, the options that are common to all
subcommands have shifted to before the subcommand. This concerns the
`--server`, `--token`, `--format` and `--api` options. If you
have written scripts that use `krillc` or `krillta`, you may have
to adjust them.

Secondly, the configuration for multi-user authentication with OpenID
Connect has changed. We unfortunately had to do this because a library
we have been using has not been updated in a long time and doesn’t work
any more. The good news is that we think the new scheme is much simpler
and configuration should be easier. It is, however, not quite as
flexible as the old scheme. If the new scheme doesn’t work for your use
case, please let us know!

More details of the new OpenID Connect configuration can be found in the
manual at

  https://krill.docs.nlnetlabs.nl/en/v0.15.0/multi-user/openid-connect-provider.html

In addition, we have replaced downloading the full RISwhois file for ROA
analysis with calls to an API. This will decrease the memory usage of
Krill since it doesn’t need to hold the content of the entire file in
memory. If you don’t want your Krill to use this API run by us, you can
disable the use entirely or run your own version of the Roto API
(see <https://github.com/NLnetLabs/roto-api).

Finally, there have been a number of smaller changes. The complete list
can be found in the release notes at
