Release Notes
|
|
|
|
This is a development snapshot of Version 3 of the Internet Software
|
|
Consortium DHCP Distribution.
|
|
|
|
NEW FEATURES
|
|
|
|
Version 3, Beta 2 of the ISC DHCP Distribution includes the following
|
|
features that are new since version 2.0:
|
|
|
|
- DHCP Failover Protocol support
|
|
- OMAPI, an API for accessing and modifying the DHCP server and
|
|
client state.
|
|
- Conditional behaviour
|
|
- Storing arbitrary information on leases
|
|
- Address pools with access control
|
|
- Client classing
|
|
- Address allocation restriction by class
|
|
- Relay agent information option support
|
|
- Dynamic DNS updates
|
|
- Many bug fixes, performance enhancements, and minor new DHCP
|
|
protocol features.
|
|
|
|
This beta release is quite new, and is running in production at only a
|
|
few sites. We strongly recommend that you exercise caution in
|
|
installing it. The 3.0 Beta 2 lease file is not backwards compatible
|
|
with the 3.0 Beta 1 lease file, so if you have to go back, you will
|
|
have to convert your lease files back to the 3.0 Beta 1 format - if
|
|
you try to run a 3.0 Beta 1 server on a 3.0 Beta 2 lease file, it will
|
|
cheerfully delete all your leases. Having said that, of course the
|
|
way that new releases of open source software become stable is by
|
|
people using them, finding the bugs, and reporting the bugs. So
|
|
while we urge you to exercise caution, we would also appreciate any
|
|
testing or production use you can safely do.
|
|
|
|
For information on how to install, configure and run this software,
|
|
as well as how to find documentation and report bugs, please consult
|
|
the README file.
|
|
|
|
The Dynamic DNS Update support is a descendent of an implementation
|
|
done by Lans Carstensen and Brian Dols at Rose-Hulman Institute of
|
|
Technology, Jim Watt at Perkin-Elmer, Irina Goble at Integrated
|
|
Measurement Systems, and Brian Murrell at BC Tel Advanced
|
|
Communications. I'd like to express my thanks to all of these good
|
|
people here, both for working on the code and for prodding me into
|
|
improving it.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 1
|
|
|
|
- Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
|
|
allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
|
|
pointing this out.
|
|
|
|
- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
|
|
exit.
|
|
|
|
- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
|
|
|
|
- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
|
|
specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
