DH
9ISC DHCP 4.2.x includes features that were not included in DHCP 4.1.x.
10These include:
37ec5845 11
98bf1607
SR
12Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
13The DHCP server or client can now continue with it's processing while
14awaiting replies from the DNS server.
15
01a54c17
EH
16There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
17release, which will be addressed in the future:
98bd7ca0 18
01a54c17 19- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
3a16098f 20
adbef119
DH
21- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages, in
22 English. A method to reconfigure or support other languages would
23 be preferrable.
98bd7ca0
DH
24
25- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.
26
98bd7ca0 27- The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time,
45d545f0 28 not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the
6de1f33e 29 relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option.

42 Changes since 4.2.0
43
44- Documentation cleanup covering multiple tickets
45 [ISC-Bugs #20265] [ISC-Bugs #20259] minor cleanup
46 [ISC-Bugs #20263] add text describing some default values
47 [ISC-Bugs #20193] single quotes at the start of a line indicate a control
48 line to nroff, escape them if we actually want a quote.
49 [ISC-Bugs #18916] sync the pointer to web pages amongst the different docs
50
524705e5
DH
51- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
52 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another
53 error; the host-name supplied by a client is no longer overridden by a
54 reverse lookup of the lease address. Thanks to a patch from Wilco Baan
55 Hofman supplied to us by the Debian package maintenance team.
56 [ISC-Bugs #21691] {Debian Bug#509445}
57
f07d0fb5
DH
58- The .TH tag for the dhcp-options manpage was typo repaired
59 thanks to a report from jidanni and the Debian package maintenance
60 team. [ISC-Bugs #21676] {Debian Bug#563613}
61
d6645f56
SR
62- More documentation changes - primarily to put the options in the dhclient
63 and dhcpd man pages into the standard form. Thanks in part to a patch
64 from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
65 [ISC-Bugs #20264] and parts of [ISC-Bugs #17744] dhclient.8 changes
66
4a5098e9
SR
67- Add code to clear the pointer to an object in an OMAPI handle when the
68 object is freed due to a dereference. [ISC-Bugs #21306]
69
ea75d544
DH
70- Fixed a bug that leaks host record references onto lease structures,
71 causing the server to apply configuration intended for one host to any
72 other innocent clients that come along later. [ISC-Bugs #22018]
73
66be0ad1
SR
74- Minor code fixes
75 [ISC-Bugs #19566] When trying to find the zone for a name for ddns allow
76 the name to be at the apex of the zone.
77 [ISC-Bugs #19617] Restrict length of interface name read from command line
78 in dhcpd - based on a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
79 [ISC-Bugs #20039] Correct some error messages in dhcpd.c
80 [ISC-Bugs #20070] Better range check on values when creating a DHCID.
81 [ISC-Bugs #20198] Avoid writing past the end of the field when adding
82 overly long file or server names to a packet and add a log message
83 if the configuration supplied overly long names for these fields.
84 Thanks to Martin Pala.
85 [ISC-Bugs #21497] Add a little more randomness to rng seed in client
86 thanks to a patch from Jeremiah Jinno.
87
57fbc772
SR
88- Correct error handling in DLPI [ISC-Bugs #20378]
89
90- Remove __sun__ and __hpux__ typedefs in osdep.h as they are now being
91 checked in configure. [ISC-Bugs #20443]
92
93- Modify how the cmsg header is allocated the v6 send and received routines
94 to compile on more compilers. [ISC-Bugs #20524]
95
96- When parsing a domain name free the memory for the name after we are
97 done with it. [ISC-Bugs #20824]
98
197c917e
SR
99- Add an elapsed time option to the release message and refactor the
100 code to move most of the common code to a single routine.
101 [ISC-Bugs #21171].
102
8bd445a1
DH
103- Two identical log messages for commit_leases() have been disambiguated.
104 [ISC-Bugs #18915]
105
83d409ae
SR
106- Parse date strings more properly - the code now handles semi-colons in
107 date strings correctly. Thanks to a patch from Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
108 [ISC-Bugs #21501, #20598]
109
6aaaf6a4
SR
110- Fixes to lease input and output.
111 [ISC-Bugs #20418] - Some systems don't support the "%s" argument to
112 strftime, paste together the same string using mktime instead.
113 [ISC-Bugs #19596] - When parsing iaid values accept printable
114 characters.
115 [ISC-Bugs #21585] - Always print time values in omshell as hex
116 instead of ascii if the values happen to be printable characters.
117
4e0997c6
SR
118- Minor changes for scripts, configure.ac and Makefiles
119 [ISC-Bugs #19147] Use domain-search instead of domain-name in manual and
120 example conf file. Thanks to a patch from David Cantrell
121 at Red Hat.
122 [ISC-Bugs #19761] Restore address when doing a rebind in DHCPv6
123 [ISC-Bugs #19945] Properly close the quote on some arguments.
124 [ISC-Bugs #20952] Add 64 bit types to configure.ac
125 [ISC-Bugs #21308] Add "PATH=" to CLIENT_PATH envrionment variable
126
ad59838e
SR
127- Update the code to parse dhcpv6 lease files to accept a semi-colon at
128 the end of the max-life and preferred-life clauses. In order to be
129 backwards compatible with older lease files not finding a semi-colon
130 is also accepted. [ISC-Bugs #22303].
131
4dc5a6b1
SR
132! Handle a relay forward message with an unspecified address in the
133 link address field. Previously such a message would cause the
f33dc722
SR
134 server to crash. Thanks to a report from John Gibbons. [ISC-Bugs #21992]
135 CERT: VU#102047 CVE: CVE-2010-3611
136
8d50c721
DH
137- ./configure on longer searches for -lcrypto to explicitly link against.
138 This fixes a bug where 'dhclient' would have shared library dependencies
139 on '/usr/lib'. [ISC-Bugs #21967]
4dc5a6b1 140
3004baba
SR
141- Handle pipe failures more gracefully. Some OSes pass a SIGPIPE
142 signal to a process and will kill the process if the signal isn't
143 caught. This patch adds code to turn off the SIGPIPE signal via
144 a setsockopt() call. The signal is already being ignored as part
145 of the ISC library. [ISC-Bugs #22269]
146
42cbff63
SR
147- Restore printing of values in omshell to the style pre 21585. For
148 21585 we changed the print routines to always display time values
39196512
SR
149 as a hex list. This had a side effect of printing all data strings
150 as a hex list. We shall investigate other ways of displaying time
151 values more usefully. [ISC-Bugs #22626]
3004baba 152
9d97e644
SR
153! Fix the handling of connection requests on the failover port.
154 Previously a connection request from a source that wasn't
155 listed as a failover peer would cause the server to become
dbaa902c
SR
156 non-responsive. Thanks to a report from Brad Bendily, brad@bendily.com.
157 [ISC-Bugs #22679]
9d97e644
SR
158 CERT: VU#159528 CVE: CVE-2010-3616
159
23d39ae2
SR
160- Don't pass the ISC_R_INPROGRESS status to the omapi signal handlers.
161 Passing it through to the handlers caused the omshell program to fail
162 to connect to the server. [ISC-Bugs #21839]
163
164- Fix the paranthesis in the code to process configuration statements
165 beginning with "auth". The previous arrangement caused
166 "auto-partner-down" to be processed incorrectly. [ISC-Bugs #21854]
167
badc999d
SR
168 Changes since 4.2.0b2
169
170- Add declaration for variable in debug code in alloc.c. [ISC-Bugs #21472]
0d8c3d6e 171
1e05d095
SR
172 Changes since 4.2.0b1
173
d122accf
SR
174- Prohibit including lease time information in a response to a DHCP INFORM.
175 [ISC-Bugs #21092]
1e05d095 176
1943bbf8
SR
177! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
178 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
d122accf 179 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]
63ff896a 180 CERT: VU#541921 - CVE: CVE-2010-2156
1943bbf8 181
8a513c43
DH
182- A memory leak in ddns processing was closed. [ISC-Bugs #21377]
183
d122accf
SR
184- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
185 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
186 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
187 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
188 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
189
0d8c3d6e
DH
190- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
191 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
192 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
193 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
194 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
195
590298e7
SR
196- Add some debugging output for use with the DDNS code. [ISC-Bugs #20916]
197
600ee619 198- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
2b58b865
SR
199 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
200
201- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
202 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
203 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
204 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
205 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h
206 [ISC-Bugs #21126]
600ee619 207
a5c7bf77
DH
208- libisc/libdns is now brought up to version 9.7.1rc1. This corrects
209 three reported flaws in ISC DHCP;
210
211 o DHCP processes (dhcpd, dhclient) fail to start if one of either the
212 IPv4 or IPv6 address families is not present. [ISC-Bugs #21122]
213
214 o Assertion failure when attempting to cancel a previously running DDNS
215 update. [ISC-Bugs #21133]
216
217 o Compilation failure of libisc/libdns due to the use of a flexible
218 array member. [ISC-Bugs #21316]
219
0585235c
SR
220 Changes since 4.2.0a2
221
222- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
223 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
224
f4bc8261
SR
225- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
226 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
227 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
d122accf 228 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
f4bc8261 229
33692791
DH
230- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
231 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
232 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
233 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
234 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
235 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
236 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
237 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
238 [ISC-Bugs #17741]
239
3c941d42 240 Changes since 4.2.0a1
928618dd
DH
241
242- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
243 is no longer truncated to one octet.
244
3c941d42
DH
245- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
246
bdd8e747
DH
247- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
248 reflect support for prefix delegation.
249
3da71461
SR
250- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
251
fdfebedf
DH
252- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
253 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
254 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
255 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
256 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
257 entry for each lease.
258
7aa153b8
SR
259- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
260
adbef119
DH
261 Changes since 4.1.0 (new features)
262
d340bc24
DH
263- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
264 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 265 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
adbef119 266
0829d595
DH
267- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
268 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
269 Cantrell at Red Hat.
270
8a3c1e33
PS
271- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
272 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.
273
a41d7a25
PS
274- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
275
9e3eb22a
DH
276- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
277 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
278 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
279 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
280 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
281 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
282
33ea4622
DH
283- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
284 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
285 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
286 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
287 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
288 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
289 FQDN options by default).
290
5a671e87
DH
291- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
292 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
293 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
294 determined lease time) are omitted.
295
98bf1607
SR
296- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
297 The DHCP server or client can now continue with it's processing while
298 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
299
300- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
301 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
302 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.
303
59112e84
SR
304 Changes since 4.1.0 (bug fixes)
305
62f6843d
MA
306- Remove infinite loop in token_print_indent_concat().
307
59112e84
SR
308- Validate the argument to the -p option.
309
47e6eb82
DH
310- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
311 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
312 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
313 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
314 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
315
159c89d7
EH
316- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
317
1aa0fe5e
DH
318- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
319 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
320 had been deleted from configuration.
321
cd51403d
SR
322- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
323 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 324 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d
SR
325 were being ignored.
326
64e1823d
DH
327- The db-time-format option was documented in manpages.
328
26e59ee9
DH
329- Using reserved leases no longer results in 'lease with binding state
330 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
331 Nordahl.
332
70ea9345
PS
333- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
334 dhcpv6 disabled.
335
8d7dca58 336- Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to a
4b97eaff 337 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
819186b7 338
f4534b17
DH
339- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
340 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
341
f9453d21
DH
342- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
343 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
344 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
345
346- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
347 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
348 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
349 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
350 fewer system calls.
351
a3dcc0b1
DH
352- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
353 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
354 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
355 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
356 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
357 Christof Chen.
358
95fd7038
DH
359- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
360 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
361 and in normal state.
362
363- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
364 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
365
8a3c1e33
PS
366- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
367
368- Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument
369 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
370 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.
371
dedde1ba
DH
372- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
373 rather than restarting the listener.
374
a57df74a
DH
375- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
376 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
377
378- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
379 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
380 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
381
350576c5
DH
382- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
383 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
384 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
385 timeouts).
386
792156a9
DH
387- A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be parsed
388 in failover state records.
389
8a4e543b
DH
390! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
391 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
392 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 393 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692
8a4e543b 394
a1308b64
DH
395- Fixed a bug where relay agent options would never be returned when
396 processing a DHCPINFORM.
397
1b12d999
DH
398- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
399 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
400 last option definition is used.
401
d453265f
PS
402- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
403 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
404 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.
405
3e29af1e
PS
406- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
407 Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.

409- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
410 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
411 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
412 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
413 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
414 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).

416- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
417 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
418 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
419 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.

427- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
428 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
429 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
430 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
431 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 432 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host

SR
438- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
439 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
440 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
441 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.

443- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
444 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL

446 was always properly set.

552- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
553 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
554
555- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
556 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
557 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
558 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
559 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
560 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
561 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
562 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
563 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
564 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
565 shared-network.
566
567- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
568 configured option values.

01a54c17
EH
623- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
624 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
625 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
626 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
627
628- MINUS tokens should be parseable again.
629
630- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
631 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
632 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
633 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
634 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
635 Christof Chen.

DH
671- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
672 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
673 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
674 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
675 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
676

678 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
679 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

685- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
686 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the

688 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
689 unnecessary logging.

SK
722- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
723 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
724 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 725
6f76de58
SK
726- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
727 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
728 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
729 a requested address.
730
703873ab
DH
731- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
732 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
733 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
734 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
735
736- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
737 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
738 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
739 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.

866- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
867 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
868 loaded from persistent storage.
869
45d545f0 870- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3

871 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
872 necessary.

a512d11b 940
4ba58919
DH
941- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
942
943- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
944 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
945
946- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
947
8ea19a71 948- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an

DH
950
951- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling

DH
960 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
961
962- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
963 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
964 no support currently for both.
965
966- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
967 IAADDR option.
968
969- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
970 options.
971
972- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
973
974- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
975 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
976
977- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
978 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
979 specifying type 1 or type 2).
980
981- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
982 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
983
984- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
985 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
986 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
987 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
988 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
989 differently, they both use the same code here).
990
991- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
992 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
993 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
994
995- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
996
997- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
998 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
999 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
1000 it should not intercept.

DH
1002 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
1003
1004- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
1005 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
1006 between primary and secondary.
1007
1008- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
1009 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
1010 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.

aa3e348e
DH
1012- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
1013
e9c59645
DH
1014- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
1015 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
1016 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
1017 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
1018 or REQUEST messages.
1019
1020- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
1021 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

a512cc3a
DH
1030 Changes since 3.1.0b2
1031
1032- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
1033 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
1034 odd number of leases).
1035
1036- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
1037 rebalance run, and one after.
1038
1039- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
1040 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
1041 processing these messages.

1046 objects.
1047
1ba87b37
EH
1048- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
1049 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
1050 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
1051 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
1052 at Allianz.

a58da042
EH
1054- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
1055 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists

1057- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
1058 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.

1060- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
1061 caused the server to abort.
1062
4d2eaafb
DH
1063- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
1064 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
1065 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

1097 hash table was repaired.
1098
616d67cb
DH
1099- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
1100 entering normal state.
1101
1102- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
1103 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
1104 'xid mismatch' log messages.
1105
1106- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
1107 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 1108
6708d944
DH
1109- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
1110 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
1111 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
1112 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
1113
45d545f0 1114- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
1115 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
1116 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
1117 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
1118 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
1119 to their needs.
1120
1121- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
1122 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
1123 run will attempt balance.
1124
a7ee93fe
DH
1125- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
1126
98311e4b
DH
1127 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
1128
1129- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
1130 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
1131 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
1132 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
1133
98bd7ca0 1134- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 1135 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
1136
1137- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
1138 via OMAPI.
1139
a55ccdd0
DH
1140- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
1141 the protocol draft.
1142
98311e4b
DH
1143- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
1144 one does not already exist on the system.
1145
b43c87ad 1146- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 1147
0b17f049
DH
1148- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
1149 matches RFC 3074.
1150
2727c1cf
DH
1151- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
1152 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 1153 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 1154
febbd402
DH
1155- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
1156 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 1157 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 1158
ee912528
DH
1159- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
1160 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
1161 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
1162 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
1163
1164- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
1165 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
1166 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
1167 priority over the client's parameter request list.
1168
f7fdb216 1169- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 1170 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
1171 DHCPv6 support.
1172
5e864416
DH
1173- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
1174 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
1175 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
1176
b500bd4c
DH
1177- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
1178 have been incorporated.
1179
2426234f
DH
1180- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
1181 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
1182 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
1183 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
1184 that belong to the peer in need.
1185
1186- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
1187 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
1188
1189- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
1190 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
1191 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
1192
334bf491
DH
1193- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
1194 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
1195
3004bebf
DH
1196- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
1197 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
1198 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
1199 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
1200 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
1201
567e8561
DH
1202- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
1203 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
1204 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
1205 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
1206
a396d25f
DH
1207- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
1208 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
1209 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
1210 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
1211 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
1212 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
1213 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
1214 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
1215 ignoring this aspect of their request.
1216
dba5803b
DH
1217- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
1218 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
1219
41e45067 1220- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
1221 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
1222 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
1223 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
1224
41e45067
DH
1225- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
1226 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
1227 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
1228 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 1229
b543fea9
DH
1230- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
1231 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
1232 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
1233 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
1234 via Robin Breathe.
1235
b22de500
DH
1236- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
1237 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
1238 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
1239 from Christof Chen.
1240
96bbe8c5
SK
1241- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
1242 formally supported.
1243
b8221d95
DH
1244 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
1245
1246- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
1247 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
1248
c1e6c832
DH
1249 Changes since 3.0.5
1250
f546c28b
DH
1251- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
1252 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
1253 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 1254 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
1255
1256- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
1257
c1e6c832
DH
1258- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
1259 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
1260 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
1261 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 1262
75ab3070
DH
1263- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
1264
d69fb6a8 1265- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 1266 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 1267
02428754
DH
1268- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
1269 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
1270 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
1271 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
1272 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
1273 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
1274 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
1275 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
1276
1277- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
1278 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
1279 'file' field.
02428754 1280
ecde99a3
DH
1281- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
1282 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.

67674ffb
DH
1284- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather

1291- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
1292 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
1293 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.

DH
1295- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
1296 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
1297 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
1298 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
1299 was set.

1301- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
1302 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.

DH
1304- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
1305 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
1306 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
1307 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
1308 active ones.
1309
02428754 1310 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 1311
901306d5 1312- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
1313 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
1314 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
1315 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
1316 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.

1318- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
1319 server via a relay aget has been repaired.

1321 Changes since 3.0.4
1322
1323- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
1324 scopes are actually global has been added.
1325
1326- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
1327 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
1328 known to be damaging.
1329
1330- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
1331 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
1332 balancing).
1333
dcc557db
DH
1334- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
1335 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
1336 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
1337
1b2ab55f
DH
1338- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
1339 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
1340 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
1341

DH
1342- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
1343 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
1344 more clear now.
1345
6cbc6629
DH
1346- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
1347 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
1348 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
1349 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
1350 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 1351 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.

1353- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
1354 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.

1356- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
1357 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
1358 made possible.

DH
1360- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
1361 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
1362 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
1363

1364- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
1365 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.

e77c575f
DH
1367- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
1368 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
1369 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
1370
2178df03
DH
1371- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
1372 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
1373 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
1374 value with the later configured value).
1375
d5341d9b
SK
1376- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
1377 have been named and documented.
1378
1379- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
1380 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
1381 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
1382 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
1383 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
1384 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
1385 write new output.

1397 Changes since 3.0.4b2
1398
45d545f0 1399- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
1400 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
1401
1402- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
1403 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
1404
1405- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
1406 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
1407 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
1408 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
1409
1410- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
1411 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
1412 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
1413 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
1414 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
1415 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
1416 transition (properly).
1417
1418- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
1419
1420 Changes since 3.0.4b1
1421
1422- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
1423 STDIN after reading one line.
1424
1425- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
1426 descriptor it opened twice.
1427
1428- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
1429 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
1430 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
1431
1432 Changes since 3.0.3
1433
1434- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
1435 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
1436 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
1437
1438- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
1439 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
1440 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
1441
1442- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
1443 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 1444 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
1445 leases to allocate.
1446
1447- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 1448 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
1449 than the entire block of them.
1450
3a16098f
DH
1451! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
1452 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
1453 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
1454 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
1455 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
1456 to a patch from infamous42md.
1457
1458! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
1459 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
1460 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
1461 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
1462 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
1463 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
1464
1465- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
1466 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
1467 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
1468
1469- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 1470 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
1471
1472- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
1473 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
1474 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
1475 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
1476 transitional states.
1477
1478- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
1479 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
1480 once it detects the old db does not exist.
1481
1482- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
1483 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
1484 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
1485
1486- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 1487 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
1488
1489- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
1490 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
1491
1492- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
1493 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
1494 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
1495
1496- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
1497 patch from 'infamous42md'.
1498
1499- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
1500 repaired.
1501
1502- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
1503 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
1504 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
1505 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
1506
1507- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
1508 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
1509 data.
1510
1511- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
1512 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
1513 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
1514 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
1515 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
1516
1517- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
1518 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
1519 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
1520 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
1521 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
1522
1523- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
1524 has been repaired.
1525
1526- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
1527 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
1528 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
1529 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 1530 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
1531
1532- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 1533 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 1534
45d545f0 1535- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
1536 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
1537 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
1538 move to 3.[01].x.
1539
1540- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
1541 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
1542

1543 Changes since 3.0.3b3
1544
1545- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
1546 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
1547
1548- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
1549 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
1550 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
1551 workaround.
1552
1553 Changes since 3.0.3b2
1554
1555- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
1556 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
1557
1558 Changes since 3.0.3b1
1559
1560- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
1561 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
1562 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
1563
1564- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
1565 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
1566 dynamic updates were also retouched.
1567

DH
1568 Changes since 3.0.2
1569
1570- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 1571 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
1572 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
1573
1574- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
1575 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
1576 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
1577 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
1578 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
1579
1580- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
1581 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 1582 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1583
1584- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
1585 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 1586 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1587
1588- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
1589 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
1590 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
1591 Peter Poeml.
1592
1593- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
1594 Dr. Peter Poeml.
1595
1596- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
1597 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
1598 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
1599 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
1600 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
1601 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
1602
1603- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
1604 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
1605 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
1606 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
1607
1608- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
1609 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
1610 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
1611 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
1612
1613- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
1614 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
1615
1616- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
1617 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
1618 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
1619
1620- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
1621 7 bytes, and failover.
1622
1623- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
1624 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 1625 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1626
1627- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
1628 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
1629 should work better.
1630
1631- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
1632 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
1633 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
1634
1635- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
1636 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
1637 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
1638
1639 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
1640
1641- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
1642 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
1643
1644 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
1645
45d545f0 1646- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
1647 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
1648 overloading. This was repaired.
1649
1650- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
1651 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
1652 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
1653 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
1654 three chunks to fit.
1655
1656- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
1657 were repaired.
1658
1659- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
1660 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
1661 leak).
1662
1663 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
1664
1665- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
1666 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
1667
1668 Changes since 3.0.2b1
1669
1670- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
1671
1672 Changes since 3.0.1
1673
1674- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
1675 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
1676 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
1677
1678- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
1679 name was not provided by the server.
1680
1681- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
1682 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
1683
1684- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
1685 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
1686
1687- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
1688 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
1689
1690- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
1691
1692- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
1693
1694- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
1695 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
1696 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
1697 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
1698 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
1699
1700- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
1701 the configuration be globally scoped.
1702
1703- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
1704 Farkas.
1705
1706- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
1707 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1708
1709- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
1710 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
1711
1712- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
1713 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
1714
1715- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
1716 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
1717 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
1718 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
1719
1720- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
1721 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
1722 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
1723 respond to POOLREQ messages.
1724
1725- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
1726 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
1727 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
1728
1729- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
1730
1731- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
1732 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
1733 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
1734
1735- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
1736 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
1737 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
1738 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
1739 Fjone and directconnect.no.
1740
1741- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
1742 to Andreas Gustafsson.
1743
1744- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
1745 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
1746
1747- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
1748 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
1749 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
1750 DISCOVER timeout handling.
1751
1752- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
1753 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
1754
1755- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
1756 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
1757 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
1758
1759- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
1760 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
1761 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
1762 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
1763 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
1764 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
1765
1766- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
1767 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
1768 Infoblox.
1769
1770- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
1771
1772- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
1773 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
1774 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
1775 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
1776 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
1777 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
1778 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
1779
1780- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
1781 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
1782 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
1783
1784- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
1785 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
1786 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
1787
1788- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
1789
1790 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
1791
1792- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
1793 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
1794 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
1795 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
1796 systems either.
1797
1798- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
1799
1800- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
1801 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
1802 is false.
1803
1804- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
1805 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
1806
1807- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
1808
1809 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
1810
1811! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
1812 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
1813 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
1814 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
1815 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
1816 both finding and solving the problem.
1817
1818! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 1819 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
1820 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
1821 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
1822 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
1823 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
1824 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
1825 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
1826 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
1827 published version of ISC DHCP.
1828
1829- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
1830
1831- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
1832
1833 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
1834
1835- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
1836 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
1837 Richard Hirst.
1838
1839- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
1840 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
1841 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
1842
1843- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
1844
1845- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
1846 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
1847 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
1848 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
1849
1850- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 1851 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
1852
1853- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
1854 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
1855
1856- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
1857
1858 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
1859
1860- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
1861 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
1862
1863- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
1864 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
1865 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
1866
1867- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
1868 by name was fixed.
1869
45d545f0 1870- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
1871 longer result in error.
1872
1873- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
1874
1875- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
1876 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
1877 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
1878
1879- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
1880 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
1881
1882- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
1883 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
1884 Blapp.
1885
1886- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
1887 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
1888 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
1889 Martin Blapp.
1890
1891- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
1892 expiry times in failover configurations.
1893
1894- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
1895 Steve G.
1896
1897- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
1898 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
1899
1900- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
1901 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
1902 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
1903 now "unknown-144".
1904
1905- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
1906 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
1907
1908 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
1909
1910- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
1911
1912- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
1913 not be bash.
1914
1915- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1916
1917- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
1918 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
1919 that errored before will now work properly.
1920
1921- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
1922 names was repaired.
1923
1924- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
1925 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
1926 configuration file.
1927
1928- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
1929 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1930
1931- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
1932 error rather than a null dereference.
1933
1934 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
1935
1936- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
1937
1938- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
1939
1940- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
1941 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
1942
1943- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
1944
1945- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
1946
1947- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
1948 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
1949 self-corrupting lease databases.
1950
1951- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
1952
1953- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
1954 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
1955
1956- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
1957
1958- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
1959
1960- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
1961 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
1962 Ling Gou.
1963
1964- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
1965 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1966
1967- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
1968 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
1969 Ted Lemon for the patch.
1970
1971- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
1972 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
1973
1974 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
1975
1976- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
1977 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
1978
1979- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
1980
1981- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
1982 a memory leak.
1983
1984- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
1985 script.
1986
1987- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
1988
1989- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
1990
1991- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
1992
1993- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
1994
1995- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
1996
1997- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
1998
1999- Increment the hop count when relaying.
2000
2001- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
2002
2003- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
2004
2005- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
2006
2007- Change the type of rbuf_max.
2008
2009- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
2010
2011 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
2012
2013- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
2014 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
2015 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
2016
2017 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
2018
2019- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
2020 to be renewed.
2021
2022- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
2023 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
2024
2025- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
2026 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
2027
2028- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
2029 that two permit lists matched.
2030
2031- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
2032 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
2033
2034- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
2035
2036- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
2037 requested it, contrary to the standard.
2038
2039- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
2040
2041- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
2042
2043- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
2044 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
2045 going to update its A record.
2046
2047- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
2048 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
2049 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
2050 DNS server.
2051
2052- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
2053
2054- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
2055
2056- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
2057 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
2058 NetBSD project).
2059
2060- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
2061 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
2062
2063- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
2064 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
2065
2066- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
2067
2068- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
2069
2070- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
2071 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
2072 failover protocol standard.
2073
2074- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
2075 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
2076 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
2077
2078- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
2079 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
2080 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
2081 do so.
2082
2083- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
2084
2085 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
2086
2087- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
2088
2089- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
2090 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
2091
2092- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
2093 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
2094
2095- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
2096 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
2097 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
2098
2099- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
2100 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
2101 network, merge the two pools.
2102
2103- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
2104 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
2105 fix this bug.
2106
2107 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
2108
2109- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
2110 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
2111
2112- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
2113 the same case.
2114
2115- Additional documentation.
2116
2117- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
2118 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
2119
2120 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
2121
2122- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
2123- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
2124
adbef119 2125 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
2126
2127- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
2128 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
2129 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
2130 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
2131 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
2132
adbef119 2133 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
2134
2135- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
2136 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
2137 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
2138 wasn't the one that removed it.
2139
2140- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
2141 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
2142 were not configured.
2143
2144- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
2145
2146- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
2147 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
2148 routing information.
2149
2150- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
2151 request being sent.
2152
2153- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
2154 done.
2155
2156- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
2157 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
2158 were pending.
2159
2160- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
2161 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
2162 problems with failover.
2163
2164- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
2165 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
2166 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
2167
adbef119 2168 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
2169
2170- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
2171 smash in the subclass allocation code.
2172
2173- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
2174 no object is open, it dumps core.
2175
2176- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
2177
2178- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
2179
2180- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
2181
2182- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
2183 a host object attribute with a null value.
2184
2185 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
2186
2187- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
2188
2189- Fix an obscure core dump.
2190
2191- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
2192 when crucial information is left out.
2193
2194- Log "no free leases" as an error.
2195
2196- Documentation updates.
2197
2198 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
2199
2200- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
2201
2202- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
2203 structure wasn't zeroed.
2204
2205- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
2206 incorrectly.
2207
2208- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
2209 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
2210 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
2211 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
2212 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
2213 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
2214 restarted.
2215
2216 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
2217
2218- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
2219 in failover-enabled pools.
2220
2221- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
2222 declarations).
2223
2224- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
2225 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
2226
2227- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
2228 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
2229
2230- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
2231
2232- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
2233 defined but not referenced by any pools.
2234
2235- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
2236

2249 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
2250
2251- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
2252 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
2253 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
2254
2255- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
2256 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
2257 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
2258 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
2259 string.
2260

2265- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
2266 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
2267
2268- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
2269 malformed packets.
2270
2271- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
2272
2273- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
2274 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
2275 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
2276
2277- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
2278
2279- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
2280
2281- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
2282
2283- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
2284 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
2285
2286- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
2287 tcp connections from being played back.
2288
2289- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
2290 on exit.
2291
2292- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
2293
2294- Add some configurability to the build system.
2295
2296- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
2297
2298- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
2299 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
2300 hadn't been noticed until now.
2301
2302 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
2303
2304- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
2305 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
2306
2307- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
2308 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
2309 conformant, but also didn't work).
2310
2311- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
2312 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
2313
2314- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
2315 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
2316
2317- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
2318 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
2319
2320- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
2321 variables to leases via OMAPI.
2322
2323- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
2324 doing failover.
2325
2326- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
2327 running on alpha processors.
2328
2329- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
2330 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
2331
2332- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
2333
2334- Install omshell (including new documentation).
2335
2336- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
2337 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
2338
2339- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
2340
2341- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
2342 actually named (key names are domain names).
2343
2344- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
2345
2346- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
2347 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
2348
2349- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
2350 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
2351
2352- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
2353 statements.
2354
2355- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
2356 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
2357
2358- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
2359 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
2360 operating.
2361
eaf0b302
TL
2362 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
2363
2364- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
2365 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
2366 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
2367 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
2368
2369- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
2370 using omapi to manipulate leases.
2371
2372- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
2373
2374
2375 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
2376
2377- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
2378 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
2379
2380- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
2381 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
2382 to the chain.
2383
2384- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
2385
2386- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
2387
2388- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
2389
98311e4b 2390- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302
TL
2391 attribute values in omshell.
2392
98311e4b 2393- Fix a typo in the Linux interface discovery code.
eaf0b302
TL
2394
2395- Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional.
2396
2397 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4
2398
2399- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
2400 DHCPDECLINE.
2401
2402- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
2403
2404- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
2405 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
2406 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
2407
2408- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
2409
2410- Documentation fixes.
2411
2412- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
2413 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
2414
2415- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
2416 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
2417
2418- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
2419
2420- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
2421
2422- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
2423 case-insensitive.
2424
2425- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
2426
98311e4b 2427- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
2428 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
2429 consistently.
2430
2431- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
2432 systems with the probe not working correctly.
2433
2434- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.
2435

TL
2436 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
2437
2438- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
2439 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
2440 result of duplicate leases.
2441
2442- Document OMAPI server objects.

TL
2444 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2 Patchlevel 1
2445
2446- Fix some problems in the DDNS update code. Thanks to Albert
2447 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
2448
2449- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
2450 core dumps.
2451
2452- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
2453 Friedrich.
2454
2455- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
2456
2457 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
2458
2459- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
2460 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 2461 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
2462 billing class code.
2463
2464- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
2465 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
2466
2467- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
2468 trace file.
2469
79ea3de8 2470 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 2471
79ea3de8
TL
2472- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
2473 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
2474 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
2475 e.g., Digital Unix.
2476
2477- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
2478 when no error had occurred.
2479
2480- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
2481 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
2482 non-communicating state.
2483
2484- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
2485
2486- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
2487 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
2488 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
2489
2490- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
2491 when the client lease expired.
2492
2493- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
2494 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
2495 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
2496 in testing.
2497
2498- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
2499 the command line, it would fail.
2500
2501- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
2502 user impact).
2503
2504- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
2505
2506- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
2507 they're executable.
2508
2509 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1
87784777
TL
2510
2511- Fix a memory smash that happens when fixed-address leases are used.
2512 ANY SITE AT WHICH FIXED-ADDRESS STATEMENTS ARE BEING USED SHOULD
2513 UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY. This has been a long-standing bug - thanks to
2514 Alvise Nobile for discovering it and helping me to find it!
2515
79ea3de8
TL
2516- Fix a small bug in binary-to-ascii, thanks to H. Peter Anvin of
2517 Transmeta.
2518
87784777
TL
2519- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
2520 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
2521 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
2522 a new release candidate is expected shortly.
2523
2524- There is a known problem in the DDNS update code that is probably a
2525 bug, and is not, as far as we know, fixed in this patchlevel.
2526
6d779c72
TL
2527 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 24
2528
2529- Went over problematic failover state transitions and made them all
2530 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.
2531
2532- Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation
2533
2534- Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines.
2535
2536- Make Token Ring work on Linux 2.4
2537
2538- Fix the Digital Unix BPF_WORDALIGN bug.
2539
2540- Fix some dhcp client documentation errors.
2541
2542- Update some parts of the README file.
2543

TL
2547
2548- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
2549 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
2550
2551- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
2552 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
2553 unbill the old class.
2554
2555- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
2556 process the state transition immediately.
2557
2558- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
2559 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
2560
2561- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
2562
2563- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
2564
2565- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
2566
2567- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
2568
2569- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
2570 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
2571 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
2572
2573- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
2574 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
2575
2576- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
2577 lease file.
2578
2579- Don't overwrite tracefiles.
2580
2581- Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover.

2586 the FreeBSD ISC DHCP Distribution port.

2595
2596- Fix a problem with Linux detecting large numbers of interfaces (Ben)
2597
2598- Fix a memory smash in the quotify code, which was introduced in
2599 pl19.
2600
2601- Actually fix the spin described in the changes for pl20. The
2602 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
2603 past the regression test.
2604
adbef119 2605 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 19

2606

2608 POINTER_DEBUG enabled.
2609
2610- Fix a bug that could cause the server to spin when responding to a
2611 DHCPREQUEST.
2612
2613- Apply Joost Mulders' suggested patches for DLPI on x86.
2614
2615- Support NUL characters in quoted strings.
2616
2617- Install unformatted man pages on SunOS.

TL
2621- Allow the server to be placed in partner-down state using OMAPI.
2622 (Damien Neil)
2623
2624- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
2625 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
2626
2627- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
2628 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
2629 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
2630
2631- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
2632 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
2633 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
2634 message.
2635
2636- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
2637 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
2638 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
2639
98311e4b 2640- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
2641 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
2642 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
2643 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
2644 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
2645 this way will work.
2646
b3fad8ac
TL
2647- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
2648
2649- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
2650 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
2651 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
2652 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
2653
2654 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
2655
2656 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
2657
2658- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
2659 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
2660 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
2661
2662- Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by
2663 Hermann Lauer.
2664
2665- Fix an endianness bug in the tracefile support, regarding ICMP
2666 messages.
2667

TL
2675- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
2676 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
2677 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
2678 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
2679 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
2680 tracking down memory leaks.
2681
2682- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
2683 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
2684 Solaris.
2685
2686- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
2687 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
2688 corruption and core dumps.
2689
2690- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
2691 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
2692
2693- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
2694
2695- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
2696 and implemented by Damien Neil.
2697
2698- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
2699 name and version to standard output.
2700
2701- Don't rewrite the lease file every thousand leases.

2711 DHCP client script on the DHCP client command line.

2713- Fix client medium support, which had been broken for some time.
2714

2716 would cause two DHCPDISCOVERS to be sent back-to-back on startup.

TL
2736
2737- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
2738 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
2739 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
2740 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
2741 used in class statements to control address allocation.
2742
2743- Fix up documentation.
2744
2745- Fix a couple of small memory leaks that would have added up
2746 significantly in a high-demand situation.
2747
2748- Add a log-facility configuration parameter.
2749
2750- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.
2751
2752- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
2753 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
2754 practical use otherwise.
2755
2756- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
2757 for debugging.

2762 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
2763 dump on some systems.
2764
2765- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
2766 option.
2767
2768- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
2769 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
2770
2771- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
2772 that were not printing enough information.
2773
2774- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
2775 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
2776
2777- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
2778 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
2779 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
2780 were answering.

2796- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
2797 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
2798 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
2799 could spin.
2800
2801- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
2802 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
2803
2804- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
2805 interface name on the command line.
2806
2807- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
2808 client state.
2809
2810- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
2811 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
2812 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
2813 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
2814 added by Ted Lemon.
2815
2816- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
2817 be made to log debugging information and other information.
2818
2819- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
2820 end option.
2821
2822- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
2823 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
2824 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
2825
2826- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
2827 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
2828 face of a null hardware address on input.
2829
2830- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
2831 specified unqualified.
2832
2833- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
2834 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
2835
2836- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
2837 RFC.
2838
2839- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
2840
2841- Allow administrator to disable ping checking.
2842
2843- Clean up dhcpd.conf documentation and add more information about how
2844 it works.

2851 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 9
2852
2853- Fix DHCP client handling of vendor encapsulated options.
2854
2855- Fix a bug in the handling of relay agent information options introduced
2856 in patchlevel 9.
2857
2858- Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
2859 options at renewal time.
2860
2861- Add the ability to test the client's binding state in the client
2862 configuration language.
2863
2864- Fix a core dump in the DNS update code.
2865
2866- Fix some expression evaluation bugs that were causing updates to be
2867 done when no client hostname was received.
2868
2869- Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
2870
2871- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
2872 the DHCP option space.
2873
2874- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
2875
2876- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
2877 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
2878
2879- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
2880 silently dropped.
2881
2882- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
2883 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
2884
2885- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
2886 will be correctly updated.

TL
2899- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
2900 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
2901 possible to exploit it any further than that.
2902
2903- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
2904 option.
2905
2906- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
2907 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
2908 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
2909 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
2910 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
2911 meaningfully.
2912
2913- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
2914 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
2915 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
2916
2917- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
2918 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
2919 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
2920 this one down!
2921
2922- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
2923 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
2924 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking
2925 down and fixing this problem.

TL
2929- Fix a bug in the recent enhancement to the interface discovery code
2930 to support arbitrary-length interface lists.
2931
2932- Support NUL-terminated DHCP options when initializing client-script
2933 environment.
2934
2935- Fix suffix operator.
2936
2937- Fix NetWare/IP option parsing.
2938
2939- Better error/status checking in dhcpctl initialization and omapi
2940 connection code.
2941
2942- Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
2943
2944- Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
2945
2946- Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
2947 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
2948
2949- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
2950
2951- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
2952
2953- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
2954 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
2955
2956- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
2957 spawn with.
2958
2959- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
2960 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
2961
2962- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
2963 for OMAPI.
2964
2965- Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI
2966 can install in host declarations.

2968 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4
2969
2970- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
2971 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
2972 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
2973 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
2974 comments)!
2975
2976- Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :')

2978- Fixed SunOS 4 build. Thanks to Robert Elz for responding to my
2979 request for help on this with patches!
2980
2981- Incorporated a change that should fix a problem reported by Philippe
2982 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
2983 lost, they never reconnect.
2984
2985- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
2986 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
2987
2988- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
2989 dump.
2990
2991- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
2992 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
2993 catching this one.
2994

TL
2995 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
2996
2997- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 2998 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
2999 lease renewal time.
3000
3001- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
3002 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
3003 declared without a key.
3004
3005- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
3006
3007- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
3008 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
3009
3010- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
3011 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
3012 determine the maximum size of the response.

3024- Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about
3025 using memcmp().

3027 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 1
3028
3029- Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
3030 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
3031 pointing this out.
3032
3033- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
3034 exit.
3035
3036- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
3037
3038- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
3039 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
