Hello,

This is the release announcement for libloc 0.9.12. It comes with the following changes:

* The importer is now able to process any aggregated networks from Bird. This was not implemented before and is now allowing us to parse the global routing table in its entirety.

* Various functions to parse and manipulate IP addresses have been moved into their own files (address.h and address.c). This allows us easier re-using the code in various places.

* The list of bogons (subnets without a known country) is not generated correctly over the entire IP address ranges. For that, the internal algorithms that summarise and gaps between multiple networks has been refactored to be faster and not use any trial-and-error approach any more.

* Various internal data structures have been optimised for performance on the expense of slightly more memory usage when writing the database file. Please refer to the Git change log for more details on this.

* The dump of the database now contains all networks again.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this release.
