v2.0.15 Release Notes

Release Date

2026-07-13

Summary

v2.0.15 is a feature release adding two richer intent forms that real deployments need — surfaced by a customer proof-of-concept corpus of 57 intents, which now resolves and renders cleanly end-to-end.

There are no new database migrations. Both existing (legacy) intent forms are unchanged and continue to work.

What's New

Multi-tunnel GRE intents (gre_tunnel)

Hub routers commonly terminate many GRE tunnels; previously each needed its own intent. gre_tunnel now reads a security.gre.tunnels list:

security:
  gre:
    tunnels:
      - name: Tunnel1              # optional — pins the tunnel id
        description: "GRE_to_branch1"
        local: "10.0.100.1"        # tunnel source
        remote: "10.0.101.0"       # tunnel destination
        tunnel_ip: "100.64.1.2/30"
        keepalive:
          enabled: true            # false disables keepalive
          interval: 10
          retries: 3
        mtu: 1476

One GRE interface is rendered per entry per scoped device. An explicit name: TunnelN pins the tunnel id; otherwise one is allocated from the tunnel-id pool. The legacy flat single-tunnel form (tunnel_source/tunnel_destination) is unchanged.

Per-device eBGP EVPN overlays (bgp_evpn_af)

eBGP EVPN fabrics give every switch its own AS number — impossible to express with the previous single fabric-wide as_number. bgp_evpn_af now reads per-device blocks:

routing:
  address_families:
    l2vpn_evpn:
      enabled: true
      devices:
        - hostname: dc-leaf1
          as_number: 65011
          router_id: "192.168.0.21"
          neighbors:
            - ip: "192.168.0.1"
              remote_as: 65001
              description: "spine1_evpn"

Each scoped device receives the block matching its hostname; scoped devices without a block are skipped with a warning. Neighbour entries are normalised to the full key set the platform templates read (both remote_as and remote_asn spellings, update_source, route_reflector_client, send_community). The fabric-wide form is unchanged.

Corpus + test coverage

• Two new example intents exercise the new forms and are enforced by the render smoke test across all six platform template sets.
• Four new resolver unit tests cover both new forms and both legacy forms.

Quality

• invoke unittest: 602 passing (11 browser-only skips).
• invoke pylint: 10.00/10; ruff, yamllint, markdownlint clean.
• Render smoke test: green across all six platform template sets.
• Validation corpus: a 57-intent customer POC resolves and renders cleanly.

Upgrade

No database migrations.
