The rtnetlink.NetNS implementation had some quirks. This was changed to be more compatible with existing namespace libraries.
Unfortunately this is backwards incompatible, but really belongs to this version.

What's Changed

• Refactor netns handling, fix flakes, namespace some tests by @ti-mo in #227

Full Changelog: v2.0.1...v2.0.2

v2.0.0 had wrong module path

What's Changed

• Fix Go mod path by @SuperQ in #226

Full Changelog: v2.0.0...v2.0.1

This release introduces the concept of drivers for use in rtnetlink.LinkInfo which is a backwards incompatible change.
These drivers allow for setting driver specific link attributes. This means the LinkInfo.Data and LinkInfo.SlaveData fields are no longer of type []byte, but are of type LinkDriver.
At this time, initial drivers are available for Bond, Veth and NetKit.

If you use the byte slices of LinkInfo.Data and LinkInfo.SlaveData you can now use the default LinkData driver or the appropriate driver (if available in this package). Please consider contributing your driver should you use other types.

This release also renames the Prefered field of the rtnetlink.CacheInfo struct to Preferred to fix a long outstanding typo. This is also backwards incompatible.

What's Changed

• Add LinkDriver interface and Driver package by @brlbil in #221
• Update go-test versions by @jsimonetti in #223
• Rename CacheInfo Prefered by @jsimonetti in #224

New Contributors

• @brlbil made their first contribution in #221

Full Changelog: v1.4.2...v2.0.0
