This beta is believed to be fairly -stable. +Version 2 of the ISC DHCP Distribution includes the ISC DHCP server, +DHCP Client and DHCP/BOOTP Relay Agent. - PLANS +This version has been in a near feature freeze since January of 1998, +was in Beta test from that time to June of 1999, and has now been +released in its final form. It has a number of important features, +and is the release that we would expect most sites to run. -Version 1 of the ISC DHCP Distribution includes just a DHCP Server. -Version 1 has been in feature freeze since late 1996, and is quite -stable. This is the release that we would expect very conservative -sites to run in production, but it is no longer recommended. +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. -Version 2 of the ISC DHCP Distribution adds a DHCP Client and a -DHCP/BOOTP Relay Agent to the DHCP Server that was offered in version -1.0. In addition, some new capabilities have been added to the -server: + CHANGELOG - - IP addresses are now tested before they are assigned to - clients. This allows the DHCP server to detect rogue - machines that may have hijacked IP addresses before an IP - address conflict can occur. +This log describes the changes that have been made in version 2.0 +since June of 1997. - - The server may be configured so that some DHCP clients can - be excluded from booting. + CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.0 BETA 1 PATCHLEVEL 29 - - Improved NAKing behaviour, so that clients that are using - addresses other than the one the server knows they should be - using are disciplined quickly. +- Define BYTE_ORDER in includes/cf/hpux.h so that ip.h will compile + correctly on HP-UX. -This version has been in a near feature freeze since January of 1998, -has been in Beta test since then, and is planned for final release in -mid-1999. It has a number of important features, and is the release -that we would expect most sites to run. It is possible to run the -Version 1 server with the Version 2 client at sites that want to be -really conservative. - -Version 3 of the ISC DHCP Distribution will add conditional behaviour, -client classing, Dynamic DNS Support, DHCPv4 16-bit option codes, -asynchronous DNS query resolution, DHCP Authentication, and possibly -support for a DHCP Interserver Protocol and live querying of the DHCP -database. Currently, only client classing and conditional behaviour -have been implemented - the DNS code is waiting for an enhanced DNS -resolver. The code has gone through a major internal restructuring -which will help to support wider option codes, and possibly IPv6, as -well as a more sensible memory allocation strategy. This release is -running in producion at the ISC, but is not expected to be stable in -the near future, and is intended for sites that are in a position to -experiment, or for sites that desperately need the new features. +- Fix a long-standing but minor bug in the way the program name for + syslog was derived. + +- Fix a long-standing bug that prevented the DHCP server from broadcasting + responses to BOOTP clients that requested a broadcast response. + +- In dhcprequest(), check to make sure that there's a lease before trying + to acknowledge it to the client. This fixes a potential core dump that + a few people observed. + + CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.0 BETA 1 PATCHLEVEL 28 + +- Fix some pastos I introduced when merging Andrew Chittenden's token + ring support. + +- Apply a patch to the token ring support from Andrew Chittenden. + + CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.0 BETA 1 PATCHLEVEL 27 + +- Add dependencies to makefiles. + +- Don't use ping -w 1 in freebsd client script. + +- Token ring support for LPF, contributed by Andrew Chittenden. + +- Fix a subtle bug that would cause the server to respond incorrectly + in some cases when the client sent duplicate DHCPREQUEST packets. + +- Fix option pretty printing for 'X' format. + +- Add some special cases to deal with DHCPREQUEST packets from RFC1541 + clients. + +- Fix an obscure bug in nested subnet mask handling. + +- Fix a bug in abandoned lease reclamation. + +- Allow maximum message size to be set in configuration file. + +- Allow parameter request list to be supplied in configuration file.
