Project status and progress

Findings about the original project

A lot of work was done in the ipv6-experimental branch back in Feb and Dec 2017. In June 2019 some of the metafiles was created or updated in the master branch, without changes to the code it self.

The continued work in this fork will merge the work done in the ipv6-experimental alongside new development.

Where are we now?

IPv6 merge support has been in the main branch since Mar 2022. The ipv6-additions branch was created to create a PR into the original project for the IPv6 merge support.

As of Apr 2022 the merge-experimental branch was used to merge the old work in ipv6-experimental with the new stuff in main. At that point ipv6-experimental was removed as it's not relevant in this fork any more.

Upcoming

Inital work on new removeCIDRs fucntions to be able to remove/exclude CIDR blocks or IP ranges. As of Apr 2022 the internal code supports IPv4. Next step will be IPv6 support.
