netlab release 1.9.0 brings tons of new routing features:

• Generic Routing Configuration Module implements routing policies (route maps), prefix filters, AS-path filters, and BGP community filters.
• Default route origination in OSPFv2 and OSPFv3
• Route import (redistribution) into OSPFv2, OSPFv3, and BGP.
• Named prefixes

Other new goodies include:

• Change device configurations during validation tests
• Use SuzieQ in validation tests
• VRF multihop EBGP sessions
• Automatic loading of Linux kernel drivers (VXLAN, MPLS) required by device containers (FRR, VyOS)
• Display markdown reports as ASCII text rendered with rich.markdown
• Support for MPLS data plane in cEOS containers
• Support for vJunos-switch running in vrnetlab containers

This release is also the most-tested netlab release ever. From the ~100 integration tests in release 1.8.4, we got to almost 150 integration tests covering most netlab-supported technologies, and we ran those tests on 15 different platforms (the testing process took over 36 hours). Want to know how many bugs we fixed based on the test results? Check the release notes ;)
