When parsing list options using config_load option_cb will be called
with additional options ending in _ITEM$x and _LENGTH. This ignores any
option containing _LENGTH or _ITEM as they can't possible be a valid
babeld option making a config like
config general
list import_table 23
list import_table 42
work.

This allows to use the old syntax "config interface foo" for specifying an
interface. The new syntax ("option ifname foo") takes precedence.
Also, old option names for the "general" section are translated
accordingly. Exceptions are:
- 'hello_interval' and 'wired_hello_interval', which are now interface-specific;
- 'conf_file', since /etc/babeld.conf is now always used;
which are simply ignored.
Beware, the syntax for the 'diversity' option is not backward compatible.
Previously, we were using the name of the section as the interface name,
but this has several drawbacks:
- no "-" or other special characters are allowed in a section name,
preventing some physical interface names to be specified this way
(e.g. "tun-topeka" would not work)
- it is harder to support default interface options (no interface name)
This change is not backward compatible, but a later commit will fix that.
This is the first step toward fixing issue #33.
This still lacks some features:
- no support for "ignore" options
- no backward compatibility for option names
- no support for default interface options
22 May 2014: babeld-1.5.0
* Added support for an RTT-based metric -- see the description of
"enable-timestamps" in the manual page. This work was done by
Baptiste Jonglez with help from Matthieu Boutier.
- Update maintainer email address
- Wait for babel to die in init script (avoid race-condition on restart)
