We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of IXP Manager v6.4.2.
This is a maintenance release for the v6 branch and includes a bug fix and third-party library updates.
Sunsetting v6
IXP Manager v6 is now in a sunset state. The underlying technologies (PHP 8.0 and Laravel v9) have also reached end-of-life. We will continue to release updates to address any security issues until at least v7 is released and announced as stable. We plan to release IXP Manager v7 before the end of 2024. You can see slides and videos from two recent talks we made introducing IXP Manager on the talks page here.

Improvements
