BIRD multithreaded progress

[Douglas Fischer]

I was waiting that Maria would bring the news to this mail-list.

But I'm a bit anxious...

Excellent reading material!

Things that I found important, and I believe are interesting to highlight:

"Version 3.0-alpha0 (2022-02-07)"
Wow! Version 3 instead of v2.1...
https://gitlab.nic.cz/labs/bird/-/commit/935c066402d56d9b01ae41527c2e760d189b01f9

"Version 2.0.9 (2022-02-09)
 o Filter: Faster (16-way) prefix sets"
Performance improvements at the master release! This is great!
