Hi, The RIPE NCC are pleased to announce the release of a third public beta version of Asused - this is Version 3.51. Asused is a tool to check and summarise address space registered in the RIPE database. For a given list of allocations the tool prints various information concerning the allocations and the assignments they contain. The software is written in standard Perl 5 and uses several Perl modules. It was written and tested on BSD/OS 3.1, but should work with any modern UNIX-like operating system. All the files needed are stored in this file: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/tools/asused-3.51.tar.gz You will need to use gzip and tar to extract them, then please follow the instructions in the README file. The changes since Version 3.5 are: * Produce a warning if an assignment overlaps allocation. * Fixed behaviour with RIPE* mnt-by and mnt-lower. * Report all Asused object warnings. * Fixed installation procedure to copy 'iso3166-codes' and 'delegations' files with other libraries to make them available with system-wide installation. * ReadConf() in a public version exitted after first guess without checking other locations. * Fixed command line argument parsing: ranges, prefixes and regids now accepted. * Program name in help now derived from $0. * Usage slightly reworded. Thanks to the following people for bug reports and suggestions: Carsten Schiefner Mark Guz :-) Stephan Mankopf Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven Abdullah Saad M. Al-Ashry Herbert Baerten Kevin Bates Juergen Rauschenbach The original author of Asused was Daniel Karrenberg, it was worked on by Roderik Muit and Antony Antony rewrote it.
