EH
9ISC DHCP 4.1.x includes several new DHCPv6 features that were not included
10in DHCP 4.0.x. These include:
98bd7ca0 11
01a54c17 12- Support for the rapid-commit option on the client side
98bd7ca0 13
01a54c17 14- Prefix Delegation support
98bd7ca0 15
01a54c17 16- IA_TA address support
98bd7ca0 17
7de20a95 18- A basic DHCPv6 relay agent
98bd7ca0 19
37ec5845
FD
20- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support
21
01a54c17
EH
22There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
23release, which will be addressed in the future:
98bd7ca0 24
01a54c17 25- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
3a16098f 26
01a54c17 27- Only a single address is supported per IA.
29d5553a 28
98bd7ca0
DH
29- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages. These
30 should be configurable, and probably localized via gettext() or the
31 like.
32
33- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.
34
98bd7ca0 35- The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time,
45d545f0 36 not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the
6de1f33e 37 relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option.

43ISC DHCP uses standard GNU configure for installation. Please review the
44output of "./configure --help" to see what options are available.
fe5b0fdd 45
01a54c17
EH
46The system has only been tested on Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris, and may not
47work on other platforms. Please report any problems and suggested fixes to
48<dhcp-users@isc.org>.

53- Corrected list of failover state values in dhcpd man page.
54
63971a83
DH
55 Changes since 4.1.0a1
56
61220a00
EH
57- Fixed a coredump when adding a class via OMAPI.
58
c40e954c
EH
59- Check whether files are zero length before trying to parse them.
60
63971a83
DH
61- Ari Edelkind's PARANOIA patch has been included and may be compiled in
62 via two ./configure parameters, --enable-paranoia and
63 --enable-early-chroot.
64
66cebfcb
DH
65- ./configure was extended to cover many optional build features, such
66 as failover, server tracing, debugging, and the execute() command.
67
f8cbf390
DH
68- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
69 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
70 parameter.
71
8269561d
DH
72- A bug was fixed where the length of a hostname was miscalculated, so that
73 hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com").
74
b445a411
DH
75- Shared network selection should be done from the innermost relay
76 valid link-address field, rather than the outermost.
77
bd72740e
FD
78- Prefix pools are attached to shared network scopes.
79
9322442f
FD
80- Merged IA_XX related structures.
81
8dea7ba7
FD
82- Add DHCPv6 files in configure.
83
4619c0a2
DH
84- A memory leak when using omapi has been fixed.
85
9ac4206a
DH
86- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
87 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
88 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.
89
420d8b3f
FD
90- Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation
91 support.
92
40ec5f38
DH
93- A double-dereference in dhclient transmission of DHCPDECLINEs was
94 repaired.
95
80097764
FD
96- Fix handling of format code 'Z'.
97
ffbaa880
FD
98- Support "-1" argument in DHCPv6.
99
7de20a95
EH
100- Merge DHCPv6-only "dhcrelay6" into general-purpose "dhcrelay" (use
101 "-6" option to select DHCPv6 mode).
102
d352732e
EH
103- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
104 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
105
01a54c17 106 Changes since 4.0.0 (new features)
3c12f746 107
6d7f9584
FD
108- Added DHCPv6 rapid commit support.
109
4cafb815 110- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 111 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 112
022fe95e
EH
113- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
114 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
115 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
116
1dcc3612
SK
117- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
118 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.
119
aabfa4de
FD
120- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
121
0674055a
FD
122- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
123 reserved IDs avoided).
124
b51c785f
FD
125- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
126
900405e9
FD
127- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
128 carries a rapid-commit option.
129
96b620e5
FD
130- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
131 an empty active lease.
132
be62cf06
FD
133- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
134
01a54c17
EH
135- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
136 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
137 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
138 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
139
140- MINUS tokens should be parseable again.
141
142- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
143 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
144 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
145 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
146 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
147 Christof Chen.
148
37ec5845
FD
149- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
150
151- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.
2b964ac0 152
87202683
FD
153- Reliable DHCPv6 release (previous behavior, send release and exit, is
154 still available with dhclient -6 -1 -r).
155
01a54c17
EH
156 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
157
158- DHCP now builds on AIX.
159
160- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
161 config file but -6 is not specified.
162
163- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
164
165- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
166 be more helpful.
167
168- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
169 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
170 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
171
172- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
173 was repaired.
174
175- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
176 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
177 been repaired.
178
179- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
180 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
181 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
182
49f61135
DH
183- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
184 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
185
41d4652f
DH
186- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
187 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
188 IPv4 address.
189
2c9bf1f4
DH
190- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
191 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
192 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
193 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
194 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
195
196- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
197 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
198 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
199
cff9b78f
SK
200- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
201
c4d29896
SK
202- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
203
57fcb8d9
SK
204- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
205 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
206 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
207 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
208 unnecessary logging.
209
219a65eb
DH
210- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
211 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
212
ffdf3c8c
DH
213- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
214 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
215 is incompatible is printed.
216
217- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
218 a previously undefined option code.
219
00a002fc
MA
220- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
221 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
222
7e9f7a1b
FD
223- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
224 than the year 2000.
225
e2cfde76
FD
226- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
227
cabdb9b1
FD
228- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.
229
5d89d60f
FD
230- 'Soft' bindings have no more side-effects.
231
61d75ea2
DH
232 Changes since 4.0.0b3
233
234- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
235 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
236 configuration.
76db44f9 237
e32529a5
EH
238- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
239 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
240
76db44f9
SK
241- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
242 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
243 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 244
6f76de58
SK
245- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
246 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
247 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
248 a requested address.
249
703873ab
DH
250- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
251 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
252 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
253 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
254
255- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
256 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
257 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
258 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
259
b024480e
DH
260- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
261 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
262 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
263
c0216cb7
DH
264- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
265 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
266
1ac57173
FD
267- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.
268
83835822
DH
269- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
270 codes through some conditions.
271
c54db708
FD
272- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
273 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
274
e5d83524
DH
275- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
276 seemingly random values.
277
821f2dda
DH
278- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
279
f8b3c6f4
DH
280- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
281 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
282 one ever has.
283
b9137d42
SK
284- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
285 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
286 to a REQUEST.
287
9f1d5a2f
DH
288- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
289 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
290 level.
291
e4a6be15
DH
292 Changes since 4.0.0b2
293
65cf86d7
EH
294- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
295
b1d3778c
DH
296- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
297 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
298 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
299 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
300 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
301
bead14ea
DH
302- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
303 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
304 new address.
305
f765ec36
SK
306 Changes since 4.0.0b1
307
75135a3f
EH
308- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
309 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protcols can be run
310 simultaneously on a single interface.
311
5c2d55c7
EH
312- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
313 of service under unusual server configurations
314
315- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
316
f765ec36
SK
317- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
318 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 319
edb1283e
DH
320- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
321 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
322 on every pool rebalance run.
323
c71c6399
DH
324- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
325 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
326
5279b8f3
DH
327- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
328 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.
329
ab3a540f 330 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 331
884a458f
SK
332- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
333 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
334
fa9b593d
DH
335- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
336 point out the problem.
337
1b5053b5
SK
338- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
339 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
340 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
341
c886c298
SK
342- Fixed an error causing the server to lock up on lease expiration,
343 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
344
eaf7eb17
DH
345- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
346 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
347 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
348
109e00db
DH
349- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.
350
3ad9d48f
SK
351- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
352 fixed by Marcus Goller.
353
8eab95f2
DH
354- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
355 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
356 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
357 regardless of the existence of bindings.
358
07b9a351
DH
359- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
360
7285af30
DH
361- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
362 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
363 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
364 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
365 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.
366
2394b26b
DH
367- Additional compilation problems on HP/UX have been repaired.

377 startup for certain bad pool declarations. Thanks to Guillaume
378 Knispel for the bug report and fix.

28868515
SK
380- Code cleaned to remove warnings reported by "gcc -Wall".
381
d00d373a
SK
382- DHCPv6 is now the default. You can disable DHCPv6 support using the
383 "--disable-dhcpv6" flag when you run the configure script.
384
8dfd5744
DH
385- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
386 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
387 loaded from persistent storage.
388
45d545f0 389- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
390 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
391 necessary.
392
f800f4f6
SK
393- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
394 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
395 rapid-commit option.
396
845e9677
DH
397- Bogus messages about host records with IPv4 fixed-addresses being of
398 non-128-bits in length were removed.

409- Invalid CIDR representation for IPv6 subnets or ranges now checked
410 for when loading configuration.
411
8da06bb1
DH
412- Compilation on HP/UX has been repaired. The changes should generally
413 apply to any architecture that supplies SIOCGLIFCONF but does not
414 use 'struct lifconf' structures to pass values.
415
dd328225
DH
416- Two new operators, ~= and ~~, have been integrated to implement
417 boolean matches by regular expression (such as may be used in
418 class matching statements). Thanks to a patch by Alexandr S.
419 Agranovsky, which underwent slight modification.
420
76c944da
SK
421- Fix for icmp packets on 64-bit systems (bug introduced in 4.0).
422
f796f70a

426- Fixed a bug in which write_lease() might report a failure incorrectly
427
af5fa176
EH
428- Added support for DHCPv6 Release messages
429
430- Added -x option to dhclient, which triggers dhclient processes
431 to exit gracefully without releasing leases first
432
a546f2a7
EH
433- All binaries (client, server, relay) now change directories
434 to / before going into daemon mode, so as not to hold $CWD open
435
b55d0d5f

445- IPv6 subnets now have support for arbitrary allocation ranges via
446 a new 'range6' configuration directive.
447
98bd7ca0
DH
448- An obviated option code hash lookup to find D6O_CLIENTID was removed.
449
a512d11b
DH
450- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
451 initialized.
452
453- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
454
455- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
456 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
457
458- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 459
4ba58919
DH
460- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
461
462- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
463 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
464
465- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
466
8ea19a71 467- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 468 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
469
470- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
471 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.
472
2cf8d0bd
DH
473- Fix documentation of the domain-search atom (quoted, with commas).
474
475- Document DHCPv6 options presently in the default table.

fe5b0fdd
DH
477- Replaced ./configure shellscripting with GNU Autoconf.
478
98bd7ca0
DH
479 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
480
481- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
482 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
483 no support currently for both.
484
485- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
486 IAADDR option.
487
488- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
489 options.
490
491- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
492
493- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
494 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
495
496- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
497 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
498 specifying type 1 or type 2).
499
500- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
501 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
502
503- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
504 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
505 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
506 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
507 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
508 differently, they both use the same code here).
509
510- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
511 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
512 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
513
514- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
515
516- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
517 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
518 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
519 it should not intercept.
520
1418fd11
DH
521 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
522
523- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
524 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
525 between primary and secondary.
526
527- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
528 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
529 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
530
aa3e348e
DH
531- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
532
e9c59645
DH
533- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
534 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
535 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
536 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
537 or REQUEST messages.
538
539- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
540 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
541
c104546d
DH
542- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.
543
b9d0cc05
DH
544 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
545
546- The parse warning that 'deny dyanmic bootp;' must be configured for
547 failover protected subnets was removed.
548
a512cc3a
DH
549 Changes since 3.1.0b2
550
551- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
552 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
553 odd number of leases).
554
555- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
556 rebalance run, and one after.
557
558- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
559 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
560 processing these messages.
561
fe5b0fdd 562 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 563
74dc3e0b
EH
564- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
565 objects.
566
1ba87b37
EH
567- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
568 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
569 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
570 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
571 at Allianz.
572
a58da042
EH
573- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
574 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
575
61252edf
EH
576- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
577 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
578
27837f95
DH
579- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
580 caused the server to abort.
581
4d2eaafb
DH
582- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
583 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
584 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
585
06211b40
DH
586- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
587 by empty spaces would not get included.
588
d6614ea2
DH
589- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
590 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
591
132d38f2
DH
592- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
593 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
594
fc3b9c90
DH
595- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
596 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
597
c9feb859
DH
598- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
599 on the parameter request list.

DH
605 Changes since 3.1.0a2

608 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
609
85edef5c
DH
610- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
611 domain-search option syntax.
612
bdddcb7d
DH
613 Changes since 3.1.0a1
614
615- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
616 hash table was repaired.
617
616d67cb
DH
618- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
619 entering normal state.
620
621- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
622 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
623 'xid mismatch' log messages.
624
625- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
626 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 627
6708d944
DH
628- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
629 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
630 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
631 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
632
45d545f0 633- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
634 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
635 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
636 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
637 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
638 to their needs.
639
640- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
641 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
642 run will attempt balance.
643
a7ee93fe
DH
644- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
645
98311e4b
DH
646 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
647
648- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
649 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
650 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
651 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
652
98bd7ca0 653- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 654 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
655
656- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
657 via OMAPI.
658
a55ccdd0
DH
659- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
660 the protocol draft.
661
98311e4b
DH
662- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
663 one does not already exist on the system.
664
b43c87ad 665- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 666
0b17f049
DH
667- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
668 matches RFC 3074.
669
2727c1cf
DH
670- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
671 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 672 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 673
febbd402
DH
674- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
675 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 676 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 677
ee912528
DH
678- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
679 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
680 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
681 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
682
683- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
684 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
685 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
686 priority over the client's parameter request list.
687
f7fdb216 688- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 689 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
690 DHCPv6 support.
691
5e864416
DH
692- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
693 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
694 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
695
b500bd4c
DH
696- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
697 have been incorporated.
698
2426234f
DH
699- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
700 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
701 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
702 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
703 that belong to the peer in need.
704
705- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
706 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
707
708- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
709 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
710 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
711
334bf491
DH
712- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
713 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
714
3004bebf
DH
715- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
716 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
717 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
718 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
719 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
720
567e8561
DH
721- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
722 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
723 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
724 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
725
a396d25f
DH
726- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
727 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
728 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
729 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
730 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
731 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
732 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
733 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
734 ignoring this aspect of their request.
735
dba5803b
DH
736- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
737 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
738
41e45067 739- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
740 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
741 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
742 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
743
41e45067
DH
744- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
745 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
746 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
747 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 748
b543fea9
DH
749- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
750 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
751 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
752 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
753 via Robin Breathe.
754
b22de500
DH
755- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
756 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
757 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
758 from Christof Chen.
759
96bbe8c5
SK
760- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
761 formally supported.
762
b8221d95
DH
763 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
764
765- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
766 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
767
c1e6c832
DH
768 Changes since 3.0.5
769
f546c28b
DH
770- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
771 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
772 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 773 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
774
775- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
776
c1e6c832
DH
777- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
778 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
779 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
780 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 781
75ab3070
DH
782- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
783
d69fb6a8 784- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 785 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 786
02428754
DH
787- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
788 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
789 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
790 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
791 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
792 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
793 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
794 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
795
796- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
797 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
798 'file' field.
02428754 799
ecde99a3
DH
800- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
801 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
802
67674ffb
DH
803- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
804 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
805 a patch from Kevin Steves.
806
830ebc4c
DH
807- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
808 from Chris Wagner.
809
c759db75
DH
810- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
811 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
812 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
813
9aa3f3a5
DH
814- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
815 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
816 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
817 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
818 was set.
819
3d0c598a
DH
820- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
821 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
822
d5b6835f
DH
823- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
824 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
825 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
826 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
827 active ones.
828
02428754 829 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 830
901306d5 831- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
832 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
833 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
834 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
835 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
836
87a08ccc
DH
837- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
838 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
839
6da113fb
DH
840 Changes since 3.0.4
841
842- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
843 scopes are actually global has been added.
844
845- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
846 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
847 known to be damaging.
848
849- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
850 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
851 balancing).
852
dcc557db
DH
853- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
854 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
855 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
856
1b2ab55f
DH
857- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
858 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
859 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
860
e48891e8
DH
861- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
862 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
863 more clear now.
864
6cbc6629
DH
865- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
866 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
867 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
868 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
869 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 870 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 871
c5fec5fa
DH
872- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
873 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
874
33e1cb2b
DH
875- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
876 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
877 made possible.
878
2bddf829
DH
879- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
880 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
881 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
882
87578987
DH
883- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
884 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
885
e77c575f
DH
886- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
887 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
888 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
889
2178df03
DH
890- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
891 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
892 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
893 value with the later configured value).
894
d5341d9b
SK
895- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
896 have been named and documented.
897
898- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
899 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
900 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
901 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
902 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
903 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
904 write new output.

906 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
907
908- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
909 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
910
911 Changes since 3.0.4b3
912
913- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
914 mailing list.

916 Changes since 3.0.4b2
917
45d545f0 918- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
919 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
920
921- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
922 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
923
924- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
925 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
926 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
927 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
928
929- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
930 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
931 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
932 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
933 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
934 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
935 transition (properly).
936
937- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
938
939 Changes since 3.0.4b1
940
941- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
942 STDIN after reading one line.
943
944- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
945 descriptor it opened twice.
946
947- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
948 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
949 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
950
951 Changes since 3.0.3
952
953- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
954 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
955 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
956
957- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
958 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
959 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
960
961- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
962 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 963 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
964 leases to allocate.
965
966- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 967 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
968 than the entire block of them.
969
3a16098f
DH
970! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
971 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
972 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
973 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
974 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
975 to a patch from infamous42md.
976
977! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
978 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
979 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
980 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
981 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
982 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
983
984- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
985 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
986 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
987
988- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
989 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at RedHat.
990
991- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
992 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
993 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
994 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
995 transitional states.
996
997- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
998 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
999 once it detects the old db does not exist.
1000
1001- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
1002 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
1003 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
1004
1005- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 1006 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.

DH
1007
1008- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
1009 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
1010
1011- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
1012 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
1013 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
1014
1015- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
1016 patch from 'infamous42md'.
1017
1018- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
1019 repaired.
1020
1021- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
1022 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
1023 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
1024 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
1025
1026- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
1027 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
1028 data.
1029
1030- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
1031 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
1032 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
1033 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
1034 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
1035
1036- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
1037 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
1038 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
1039 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
1040 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
1041
1042- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
1043 has been repaired.
1044
1045- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
1046 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
1047 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
1048 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
1049 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at RedHat.
1050
1051- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 1052 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 1053
45d545f0 1054- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
1055 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
1056 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
1057 move to 3.[01].x.
1058
1059- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
1060 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

1062 Changes since 3.0.3b3
1063
1064- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
1065 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
1066
1067- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
1068 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
1069 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
1070 workaround.
1071
1072 Changes since 3.0.3b2
1073
1074- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
1075 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
1076
1077 Changes since 3.0.3b1
1078
1079- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
1080 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
1081 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
1082
1083- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
1084 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
1085 dynamic updates were also retouched.

DH
1087 Changes since 3.0.2
1088
1089- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 1090 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
1091 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
1092
1093- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
1094 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
1095 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
1096 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
1097 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
1098
1099- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
1100 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
1101 Jason Vas Dias at Redhat.
1102
1103- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
1104 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
1105 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at RedHat.
1106
1107- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
1108 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
1109 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
1110 Peter Poeml.
1111
1112- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
1113 Dr. Peter Poeml.
1114
1115- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
1116 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
1117 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
1118 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
1119 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
1120 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
1121
1122- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
1123 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
1124 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
1125 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
1126
1127- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
1128 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
1129 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
1130 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
1131
1132- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
1133 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
1134
1135- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
1136 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
1137 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
1138
1139- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
1140 7 bytes, and failover.
1141
1142- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
1143 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
1144 at Redhat.
1145
1146- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
1147 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
1148 should work better.
1149
1150- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
1151 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
1152 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
1153
1154- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
1155 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
1156 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
1157
1158 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
1159
1160- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
1161 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
1162
1163 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
1164
45d545f0 1165- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
1166 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
1167 overloading. This was repaired.
1168
1169- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
1170 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
1171 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
1172 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
1173 three chunks to fit.
1174
1175- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
1176 were repaired.
1177
1178- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
1179 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
1180 leak).
1181
1182 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
1183
1184- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
1185 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
1186
1187 Changes since 3.0.2b1
1188
1189- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
1190
1191 Changes since 3.0.1
1192
1193- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
1194 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
1195 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
1196
1197- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
1198 name was not provided by the server.
1199
1200- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
1201 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
1202
1203- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
1204 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
1205
1206- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
1207 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
1208
1209- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
1210
1211- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
1212
1213- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
1214 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
1215 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
1216 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
1217 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
1218
1219- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
1220 the configuration be globally scoped.
1221
1222- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
1223 Farkas.
1224
1225- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
1226 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1227
1228- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
1229 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
1230
1231- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
1232 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
1233
1234- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
1235 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
1236 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
1237 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
1238
1239- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
1240 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
1241 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
1242 respond to POOLREQ messages.
1243
1244- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
1245 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
1246 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
1247
1248- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
1249
1250- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
1251 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
1252 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
1253
1254- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
1255 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
1256 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
1257 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
1258 Fjone and directconnect.no.
1259
1260- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
1261 to Andreas Gustafsson.
1262
1263- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
1264 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
1265
1266- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
1267 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
1268 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
1269 DISCOVER timeout handling.
1270
1271- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
1272 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
1273
1274- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
1275 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
1276 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
1277
1278- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
1279 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
1280 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
1281 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
1282 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
1283 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
1284
1285- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
1286 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
1287 Infoblox.
1288
1289- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
1290
1291- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
1292 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
1293 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
1294 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
1295 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
1296 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
1297 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
1298
1299- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
1300 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
1301 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
1302
1303- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
1304 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
1305 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
1306
1307- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
1308
1309 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
1310
1311- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
1312 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
1313 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
1314 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
1315 systems either.
1316
1317- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
1318
1319- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
1320 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
1321 is false.
1322
1323- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
1324 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
1325
1326- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
1327
1328 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
1329
1330! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
1331 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
1332 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
1333 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
1334 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
1335 both finding and solving the problem.
1336
1337! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 1338 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
1339 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
1340 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
1341 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
1342 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
1343 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
1344 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
1345 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
1346 published version of ISC DHCP.
1347
1348- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
1349
1350- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
1351
1352 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
1353
1354- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
1355 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
1356 Richard Hirst.
1357
1358- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
1359 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
1360 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
1361
1362- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
1363
1364- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
1365 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
1366 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
1367 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
1368
1369- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 1370 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.

DH
1371
1372- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
1373 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
1374
1375- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
1376
1377 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
1378
1379- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
1380 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
1381
1382- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
1383 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
1384 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
1385
1386- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
1387 by name was fixed.
1388
45d545f0 1389- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
1390 longer result in error.
1391
1392- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
1393
1394- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
1395 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
1396 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
1397
1398- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
1399 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
1400
1401- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
1402 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
1403 Blapp.
1404
1405- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
1406 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
1407 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
1408 Martin Blapp.
1409
1410- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
1411 expiry times in failover configurations.
1412
1413- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
1414 Steve G.
1415
1416- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
1417 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
1418
1419- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
1420 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
1421 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
1422 now "unknown-144".
1423
1424- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
1425 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
1426
1427 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
1428
1429- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
1430
1431- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
1432 not be bash.
1433
1434- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1435
1436- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
1437 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
1438 that errored before will now work properly.
1439
1440- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
1441 names was repaired.
1442
1443- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
1444 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
1445 configuration file.
1446
1447- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
1448 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1449
1450- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
1451 error rather than a null dereference.
1452
1453 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
1454
1455- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
1456
1457- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
1458
1459- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
1460 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
1461
1462- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
1463
1464- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
1465
1466- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
1467 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
1468 self-corrupting lease databases.
1469
1470- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
1471
1472- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
1473 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
1474
1475- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
1476
1477- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
1478
1479- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
1480 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
1481 Ling Gou.
1482
1483- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
1484 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1485
1486- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
1487 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
1488 Ted Lemon for the patch.
1489
1490- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
1491 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
1492
1493 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
1494
1495- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
1496 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
1497
1498- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
1499
1500- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
1501 a memory leak.
1502
1503- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
1504 script.
1505
1506- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
1507
1508- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
1509
1510- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
1511
1512- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
1513
1514- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
1515
1516- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
1517
1518- Increment the hop count when relaying.
1519
1520- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
1521
1522- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
1523
1524- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
1525
1526- Change the type of rbuf_max.
1527
1528- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
1529
1530 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
1531
1532- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
1533 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
1534 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
1535
1536 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
1537
1538- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
1539 to be renewed.
1540
1541- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
1542 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
1543
1544- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
1545 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
1546
1547- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
1548 that two permit lists matched.
1549
1550- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
1551 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
1552
1553- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
1554
1555- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
1556 requested it, contrary to the standard.
1557
1558- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
1559
1560- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
1561
1562- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
1563 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
1564 going to update its A record.
1565
1566- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
1567 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
1568 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
1569 DNS server.
1570
1571- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
1572
1573- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
1574
1575- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
1576 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
1577 NetBSD project).
1578
1579- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
1580 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
1581
1582- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
1583 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
1584
1585- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
1586
1587- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
1588
1589- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
1590 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
1591 failover protocol standard.
1592
1593- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
1594 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
1595 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
1596
1597- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
1598 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
1599 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
1600 do so.
1601
1602- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
1603
1604 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
1605
1606- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
1607
1608- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
1609 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
1610
1611- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
1612 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
1613
1614- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
1615 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
1616 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
1617
1618- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
1619 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
1620 network, merge the two pools.
1621
1622- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
1623 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
1624 fix this bug.
1625
1626 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
1627
1628- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
1629 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
1630
1631- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
1632 the same case.
1633
1634- Additional documentation.
1635
1636- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
1637 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
1638
1639 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
1640
1641- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
1642- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
1643
1644 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
1645
1646- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
1647 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
1648 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
1649 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
1650 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
1651
1652 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
1653
1654- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
1655 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
1656 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
1657 wasn't the one that removed it.
1658
1659- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
1660 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
1661 were not configured.
1662
1663- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
1664
1665- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
1666 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
1667 routing information.
1668
1669- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
1670 request being sent.
1671
1672- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
1673 done.
1674
1675- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
1676 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
1677 were pending.
1678
1679- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
1680 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
1681 problems with failover.
1682
1683- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
1684 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
1685 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
1686
1687 Changes since 3.0
1688
1689- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
1690 smash in the subclass allocation code.
1691
1692- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
1693 no object is open, it dumps core.
1694
1695- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
1696
1697- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
1698
1699- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
1700
1701- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
1702 a host object attribute with a null value.
1703
1704 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
1705
1706- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
1707
1708- Fix an obscure core dump.
1709
1710- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
1711 when crucial information is left out.
1712
1713- Log "no free leases" as an error.
1714
1715- Documentation updates.
1716
1717 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
1718
1719- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
1720
1721- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
1722 structure wasn't zeroed.
1723
1724- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
1725 incorrectly.
1726
1727- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
1728 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
1729 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
1730 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
1731 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
1732 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
1733 restarted.
1734
1735 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
1736
1737- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
1738 in failover-enabled pools.
1739
1740- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
1741 declarations).
1742
1743- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
1744 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
1745
1746- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
1747 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
1748
1749- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
1750
1751- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
1752 defined but not referenced by any pools.
1753
1754- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
1755
eaf0b302

1756 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 9

1760 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2
1761
1762- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
1763
1764- Document failover-state OMAPI object.
1765
1766- Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.
1767
d758ad8c
TL
1768 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
1769
1770- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
1771 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
1772 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
1773
1774- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
1775 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
1776 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
1777 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
1778 string.
1779
1780- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
1781
d758ad8c
TL
1782 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
1783
1784- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
1785 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
1786
1787- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
1788 malformed packets.
1789
1790- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
1791
1792- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
1793 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
1794 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
1795
1796- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
1797
1798- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
1799
1800- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
1801
1802- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
1803 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
1804
1805- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
1806 tcp connections from being played back.
1807
1808- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
1809 on exit.
1810
1811- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
1812
1813- Add some configurability to the build system.
1814
1815- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
1816
1817- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
1818 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
1819 hadn't been noticed until now.
1820
1821 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
1822
1823- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
1824 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
1825
1826- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
1827 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
1828 conformant, but also didn't work).
1829
1830- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
1831 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
1832
1833- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
1834 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
1835
1836- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
1837 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
1838
1839- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
1840 variables to leases via OMAPI.
1841
1842- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
1843 doing failover.
1844
1845- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
1846 running on alpha processors.
1847
1848- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
1849 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
1850
1851- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
1852
1853- Install omshell (including new documentation).
1854
1855- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
1856 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
1857
1858- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
1859
1860- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
1861 actually named (key names are domain names).
1862
1863- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
1864
1865- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
1866 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
1867
1868- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
1869 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
1870
1871- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
1872 statements.
1873
1874- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
1875 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
1876
1877- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
1878 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
1879 operating.
1880
eaf0b302
TL
1881 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
1882
1883- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
1884 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
1885 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
1886 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
1887
1888- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
1889 using omapi to manipulate leases.
1890
1891- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
1892
1893
1894 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
1895
1896- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
1897 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
1898
1899- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
1900 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
1901 to the chain.
1902
1903- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
1904
1905- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
1906
1907- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
1908
98311e4b 1909- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

1918- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
1919 DHCPDECLINE.
1920
1921- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
1922
1923- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
1924 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
1925 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
1926
1927- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
1928
1929- Documentation fixes.
1930
1931- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
1932 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
1933
1934- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
1935 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
1936
1937- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
1938
1939- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
1940
1941- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
1942 case-insensitive.
1943
1944- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
1945
98311e4b 1946- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
1947 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
1948 consistently.
1949
1950- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
1951 systems with the probe not working correctly.
1952
1953- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.
1954

TL
1955 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
1956
1957- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
1958 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
1959 result of duplicate leases.
1960
1961- Document OMAPI server objects.
1962

TL
1963 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2 Patchlevel 1
1964
1965- Fix some problems in the DDNS update code. Thanks to Albert
1966 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
1967
1968- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
1969 core dumps.
1970
1971- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
1972 Friedrich.
1973
1974- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
1975
1976 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
1977
1978- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
1979 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 1980 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
1981 billing class code.
1982
1983- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
1984 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
1985
1986- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
1987 trace file.
1988
79ea3de8 1989 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 1990
79ea3de8
TL
1991- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
1992 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
1993 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
1994 e.g., Digital Unix.
1995
1996- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
1997 when no error had occurred.
1998
1999- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
2000 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
2001 non-communicating state.
2002
2003- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
2004
2005- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
2006 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
2007 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
2008
2009- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
2010 when the client lease expired.
2011
2012- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
2013 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
2014 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
2015 in testing.
2016
2017- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
2018 the command line, it would fail.
2019
2020- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
2021 user impact).
2022
2023- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
2024
2025- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
2026 they're executable.
2027
2028 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1
87784777
TL
2029
2030- Fix a memory smash that happens when fixed-address leases are used.
2031 ANY SITE AT WHICH FIXED-ADDRESS STATEMENTS ARE BEING USED SHOULD
2032 UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY. This has been a long-standing bug - thanks to
2033 Alvise Nobile for discovering it and helping me to find it!
2034
79ea3de8
TL
2035- Fix a small bug in binary-to-ascii, thanks to H. Peter Anvin of
2036 Transmeta.
2037
87784777
TL
2038- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
2039 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
2040 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
2041 a new release candidate is expected shortly.
2042
2043- There is a known problem in the DDNS update code that is probably a
2044 bug, and is not, as far as we know, fixed in this patchlevel.
2045
6d779c72
TL
2046 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 24
2047
2048- Went over problematic failover state transitions and made them all
2049 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.
2050
2051- Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation
2052
2053- Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines.
2054
2055- Make Token Ring work on Linux 2.4
2056
2057- Fix the Digital Unix BPF_WORDALIGN bug.
2058
2059- Fix some dhcp client documentation errors.
2060
2061- Update some parts of the README file.
2062

TL
2065 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 23
2066
2067- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
2068 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
2069
2070- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
2071 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
2072 unbill the old class.
2073
2074- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
2075 process the state transition immediately.
2076
2077- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
2078 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
2079
2080- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
2081
2082- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
2083
2084- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
2085
2086- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
2087
2088- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
2089 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
2090 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
2091
2092- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
2093 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
2094
2095- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
2096 lease file.
2097
2098- Don't overwrite tracefiles.
2099
2100- Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover.

2105 the FreeBSD ISC DHCP Distribution port.

2113 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 20
2114
2115- Fix a problem with Linux detecting large numbers of interfaces (Ben)
2116
2117- Fix a memory smash in the quotify code, which was introduced in
2118 pl19.
2119
2120- Actually fix the spin described in the changes for pl20. The
2121 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
2122 past the regression test.

2124 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 19

2127 POINTER_DEBUG enabled.
2128
2129- Fix a bug that could cause the server to spin when responding to a
2130 DHCPREQUEST.
2131
2132- Apply Joost Mulders' suggested patches for DLPI on x86.
2133
2134- Support NUL characters in quoted strings.
2135
2136- Install unformatted man pages on SunOS.

2140- Allow the server to be placed in partner-down state using OMAPI.
2141 (Damien Neil)
2142
2143- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
2144 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
2145
2146- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
2147 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
2148 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
2149
2150- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
2151 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
2152 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
2153 message.
2154
2155- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
2156 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
2157 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
2158
98311e4b 2159- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
2160 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
2161 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
2162 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
2163 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
2164 this way will work.
2165
b3fad8ac
TL
2166- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
2167
2168- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
2169 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
2170 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
2171 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
2172
2173 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
2174
2175 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
2176
2177- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
2178 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
2179 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
2180
2181- Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by
2182 Hermann Lauer.
2183
2184- Fix an endianness bug in the tracefile support, regarding ICMP
2185 messages.
2186

2187- Fix a bug in the client where the medium would not work correctly if
2188 it contained quoted strings.

2192 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 16
2193

TL
2194- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
2195 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
2196 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
2197 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
2198 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
2199 tracking down memory leaks.
2200
2201- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
2202 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
2203 Solaris.
2204
2205- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
2206 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
2207 corruption and core dumps.
2208
2209- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
2210 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
2211
2212- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
2213
2214- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
2215 and implemented by Damien Neil.
2216
2217- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
2218 name and version to standard output.
2219
2220- Don't rewrite the lease file every thousand leases.

2225- Fix a memory corruption bug in the DHCP client.
2226

2230 DHCP client script on the DHCP client command line.
2231
2232- Fix client medium support, which had been broken for some time.
2233
2234- Fix a bug in the DHCP client initial startup backoff interval, which
2235 would cause two DHCPDISCOVERS to be sent back-to-back on startup.

2245
2246- Support relay agents that intercept unicast DHCP messages to stuff
2247 agent options into them.

TL
2254 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 14
2255
2256- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
2257 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
2258 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
2259 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
2260 used in class statements to control address allocation.
2261
2262- Fix up documentation.
2263
2264- Fix a couple of small memory leaks that would have added up
2265 significantly in a high-demand situation.
2266
2267- Add a log-facility configuration parameter.
2268
2269- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.
2270
2271- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
2272 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
2273 practical use otherwise.
2274
2275- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
2276 for debugging.
2277

2278 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 13
2279
2280- Fixed a problem where the fqdn decoder would sometimes try to store
2281 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
2282 dump on some systems.
2283
2284- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
2285 option.
2286
2287- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
2288 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
2289
2290- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
2291 that were not printing enough information.
2292
2293- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
2294 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
2295
2296- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
2297 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
2298 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
2299 were answering.
2300
2301- When we get a bogus state lease binding state transition, don't do
2302 the transition.

2311- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
2312 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
2313 representation from working correctly.
2314
2315- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
2316 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
2317 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
2318 could spin.
2319
2320- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
2321 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
2322
2323- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
2324 interface name on the command line.
2325
2326- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
2327 client state.
2328
2329- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
2330 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
2331 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
2332 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
2333 added by Ted Lemon.
2334
2335- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
2336 be made to log debugging information and other information.
2337
2338- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
2339 end option.
2340
2341- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
2342 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
2343 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
2344
2345- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
2346 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
2347 face of a null hardware address on input.
2348
2349- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
2350 specified unqualified.
2351
2352- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
2353 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
2354
2355- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
2356 RFC.
2357
2358- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
2359
2360- Allow administrator to disable ping checking.

2377- Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
2378 options at renewal time.
2379

2381 configuration language.
2382
2383- Fix a core dump in the DNS update code.

2386 done when no client hostname was received.
2387
2388- Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
2389
2390- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
2391 the DHCP option space.
2392
2393- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
2394
2395- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
2396 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
2397
2398- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
2399 silently dropped.
2400
2401- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
2402 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
2403
2404- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
2405 will be correctly updated.

TL
2418- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
2419 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
2420 possible to exploit it any further than that.
2421
2422- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
2423 option.
2424
2425- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
2426 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
2427 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
2428 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
2429 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
2430 meaningfully.
2431
2432- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
2433 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
2434 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
2435
2436- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
2437 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
2438 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
2439 this one down!
2440
2441- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
2442 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
