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

42 Changes since 4.2.0
43
44- Documentation cleanup covering multiple tickets
45 [ISC-Bugs #20265] [ISC-Bugs #20259] minor cleanup
46 [ISC-Bugs #20263] add text describing some default values
47 [ISC-Bugs #20193] single quotes at the start of a line indicate a control
48 line to nroff, escape them if we actually want a quote.
49 [ISC-Bugs #18916] sync the pointer to web pages amongst the different docs
50
524705e5
DH
51- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
52 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another
53 error; the host-name supplied by a client is no longer overridden by a
54 reverse lookup of the lease address. Thanks to a patch from Wilco Baan
55 Hofman supplied to us by the Debian package maintenance team.
56 [ISC-Bugs #21691] {Debian Bug#509445}
57
f07d0fb5
DH
58- The .TH tag for the dhcp-options manpage was typo repaired
59 thanks to a report from jidanni and the Debian package maintenance
60 team. [ISC-Bugs #21676] {Debian Bug#563613}
61
d6645f56
SR
62- More documentation changes - primarily to put the options in the dhclient
63 and dhcpd man pages into the standard form. Thanks in part to a patch
64 from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
65 [ISC-Bugs #20264] and parts of [ISC-Bugs #17744] dhclient.8 changes
66
4a5098e9
SR
67- Add code to clear the pointer to an object in an OMAPI handle when the
68 object is freed due to a dereference. [ISC-Bugs #21306]
69
ea75d544
DH
70- Fixed a bug that leaks host record references onto lease structures,
71 causing the server to apply configuration intended for one host to any
72 other innocent clients that come along later. [ISC-Bugs #22018]
73
66be0ad1
SR
74- Minor code fixes
75 [ISC-Bugs #19566] When trying to find the zone for a name for ddns allow
76 the name to be at the apex of the zone.
77 [ISC-Bugs #19617] Restrict length of interface name read from command line
78 in dhcpd - based on a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
79 [ISC-Bugs #20039] Correct some error messages in dhcpd.c
80 [ISC-Bugs #20070] Better range check on values when creating a DHCID.
81 [ISC-Bugs #20198] Avoid writing past the end of the field when adding
82 overly long file or server names to a packet and add a log message
83 if the configuration supplied overly long names for these fields.
84 Thanks to Martin Pala.
85 [ISC-Bugs #21497] Add a little more randomness to rng seed in client
86 thanks to a patch from Jeremiah Jinno.
87
57fbc772
SR
88- Correct error handling in DLPI [ISC-Bugs #20378]
89
90- Remove __sun__ and __hpux__ typedefs in osdep.h as they are now being
91 checked in configure. [ISC-Bugs #20443]
92
93- Modify how the cmsg header is allocated the v6 send and received routines
94 to compile on more compilers. [ISC-Bugs #20524]
95
96- When parsing a domain name free the memory for the name after we are
97 done with it. [ISC-Bugs #20824]
98
197c917e
SR
99- Add an elapsed time option to the release message and refactor the
100 code to move most of the common code to a single routine.
101 [ISC-Bugs #21171].
102
8bd445a1
DH
103- Two identical log messages for commit_leases() have been disambiguated.
104 [ISC-Bugs #18915]
105
83d409ae
SR
106- Parse date strings more properly - the code now handles semi-colons in
107 date strings correctly. Thanks to a patch from Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
108 [ISC-Bugs #21501, #20598]
109
6aaaf6a4
SR
110- Fixes to lease input and output.
111 [ISC-Bugs #20418] - Some systems don't support the "%s" argument to
112 strftime, paste together the same string using mktime instead.
113 [ISC-Bugs #19596] - When parsing iaid values accept printable
114 characters.
115 [ISC-Bugs #21585] - Always print time values in omshell as hex
116 instead of ascii if the values happen to be printable characters.
117
4e0997c6
SR
118- Minor changes for scripts, configure.ac and Makefiles
119 [ISC-Bugs #19147] Use domain-search instead of domain-name in manual and
120 example conf file. Thanks to a patch from David Cantrell
121 at Red Hat.
122 [ISC-Bugs #19761] Restore address when doing a rebind in DHCPv6
123 [ISC-Bugs #19945] Properly close the quote on some arguments.
124 [ISC-Bugs #20952] Add 64 bit types to configure.ac
125 [ISC-Bugs #21308] Add "PATH=" to CLIENT_PATH envrionment variable
126
ad59838e
SR
127- Update the code to parse dhcpv6 lease files to accept a semi-colon at
128 the end of the max-life and preferred-life clauses. In order to be
129 backwards compatible with older lease files not finding a semi-colon
130 is also accepted. [ISC-Bugs #22303].
131
4dc5a6b1
SR
132! Handle a relay forward message with an unspecified address in the
133 link address field. Previously such a message would cause the
f33dc722
SR
134 server to crash. Thanks to a report from John Gibbons. [ISC-Bugs #21992]
135 CERT: VU#102047 CVE: CVE-2010-3611
136
8d50c721
DH
137- ./configure on longer searches for -lcrypto to explicitly link against.
138 This fixes a bug where 'dhclient' would have shared library dependencies
139 on '/usr/lib'. [ISC-Bugs #21967]
4dc5a6b1 140
3004baba
SR
141- Handle pipe failures more gracefully. Some OSes pass a SIGPIPE
142 signal to a process and will kill the process if the signal isn't
143 caught. This patch adds code to turn off the SIGPIPE signal via
144 a setsockopt() call. The signal is already being ignored as part
145 of the ISC library. [ISC-Bugs #22269]
146
42cbff63
SR
147- Restore printing of values in omshell to the style pre 21585. For
148 21585 we changed the print routines to always display time values
39196512
SR
149 as a hex list. This had a side effect of printing all data strings
150 as a hex list. We shall investigate other ways of displaying time
151 values more usefully. [ISC-Bugs #22626]
3004baba 152
9d97e644
SR
153! Fix the handling of connection requests on the failover port.
154 Previously a connection request from a source that wasn't
155 listed as a failover peer would cause the server to become
156 non-responsive. [ISC-Bugs #22679]
157 CERT: VU#159528 CVE: CVE-2010-3616
158
23d39ae2
SR
159- Don't pass the ISC_R_INPROGRESS status to the omapi signal handlers.
160 Passing it through to the handlers caused the omshell program to fail
161 to connect to the server. [ISC-Bugs #21839]
162
163- Fix the paranthesis in the code to process configuration statements
164 beginning with "auth". The previous arrangement caused
165 "auto-partner-down" to be processed incorrectly. [ISC-Bugs #21854]
166
badc999d
SR
167 Changes since 4.2.0b2
168
169- Add declaration for variable in debug code in alloc.c. [ISC-Bugs #21472]
0d8c3d6e 170
1e05d095
SR
171 Changes since 4.2.0b1
172
d122accf
SR
173- Prohibit including lease time information in a response to a DHCP INFORM.
174 [ISC-Bugs #21092]
1e05d095 175
1943bbf8
SR
176! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
177 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
d122accf 178 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]
63ff896a 179 CERT: VU#541921 - CVE: CVE-2010-2156
1943bbf8 180
8a513c43
DH
181- A memory leak in ddns processing was closed. [ISC-Bugs #21377]
182
d122accf
SR
183- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
184 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
185 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
186 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
187 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
188
0d8c3d6e
DH
189- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
190 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
191 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
192 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
193 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
194
590298e7
SR
195- Add some debugging output for use with the DDNS code. [ISC-Bugs #20916]
196
600ee619 197- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
2b58b865
SR
198 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
199
200- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
201 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
202 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
203 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
204 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h
205 [ISC-Bugs #21126]
600ee619 206
a5c7bf77
DH
207- libisc/libdns is now brought up to version 9.7.1rc1. This corrects
208 three reported flaws in ISC DHCP;
209
210 o DHCP processes (dhcpd, dhclient) fail to start if one of either the
211 IPv4 or IPv6 address families is not present. [ISC-Bugs #21122]
212
213 o Assertion failure when attempting to cancel a previously running DDNS
214 update. [ISC-Bugs #21133]
215
216 o Compilation failure of libisc/libdns due to the use of a flexible
217 array member. [ISC-Bugs #21316]
218
0585235c
SR
219 Changes since 4.2.0a2
220
221- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
222 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
223
f4bc8261
SR
224- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
225 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
226 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
d122accf 227 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
f4bc8261 228
33692791
DH
229- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
230 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
231 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
232 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
233 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
234 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
235 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
236 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
237 [ISC-Bugs #17741]
238
3c941d42 239 Changes since 4.2.0a1
928618dd
DH
240
241- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
242 is no longer truncated to one octet.
243
3c941d42
DH
244- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
245
bdd8e747
DH
246- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
247 reflect support for prefix delegation.
248
3da71461
SR
249- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
250
fdfebedf
DH
251- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
252 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
253 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
254 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
255 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
256 entry for each lease.
257
7aa153b8
SR
258- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
259
adbef119
DH
260 Changes since 4.1.0 (new features)
261
d340bc24
DH
262- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
263 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 264 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
adbef119 265
0829d595
DH
266- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
267 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
268 Cantrell at Red Hat.
269
8a3c1e33
PS
270- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
271 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.
272
a41d7a25
PS
273- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
274
9e3eb22a
DH
275- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
276 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
277 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
278 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
279 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
280 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
281
33ea4622
DH
282- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
283 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
284 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
285 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
286 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
287 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
288 FQDN options by default).
289
5a671e87
DH
290- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
291 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
292 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
293 determined lease time) are omitted.
294
98bf1607
SR
295- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
296 The DHCP server or client can now continue with it's processing while
297 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
298
299- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
300 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
301 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.
302
59112e84
SR
303 Changes since 4.1.0 (bug fixes)
304
62f6843d
MA
305- Remove infinite loop in token_print_indent_concat().
306
59112e84
SR
307- Validate the argument to the -p option.
308
47e6eb82
DH
309- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
310 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
311 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
312 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
313 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
314
159c89d7
EH
315- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
316
1aa0fe5e
DH
317- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
318 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
319 had been deleted from configuration.
320
cd51403d
SR
321- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
322 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 323 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d
SR
324 were being ignored.
325
64e1823d
DH
326- The db-time-format option was documented in manpages.
327
26e59ee9
DH
328- Using reserved leases no longer results in 'lease with binding state
329 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
330 Nordahl.
331
70ea9345
PS
332- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
333 dhcpv6 disabled.
334
8d7dca58 335- Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to a
4b97eaff 336 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
819186b7 337
f4534b17
DH
338- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
339 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
340
f9453d21
DH
341- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
342 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
343 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
344
345- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
346 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
347 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
348 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
349 fewer system calls.
350
a3dcc0b1
DH
351- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
352 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
353 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
354 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
355 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
356 Christof Chen.
357
95fd7038
DH
358- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
359 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
360 and in normal state.
361
362- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
363 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
364
8a3c1e33
PS
365- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
366
367- Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument
368 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
369 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.
370
dedde1ba
DH
371- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
372 rather than restarting the listener.
373
a57df74a
DH
374- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
375 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
376
377- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
378 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
379 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
380
350576c5
DH
381- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
382 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
383 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
384 timeouts).
385
792156a9
DH
386- A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be parsed
387 in failover state records.
388
8a4e543b
DH
389! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
390 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
391 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 392 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692
8a4e543b 393
a1308b64
DH
394- Fixed a bug where relay agent options would never be returned when
395 processing a DHCPINFORM.
396
1b12d999
DH
397- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
398 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
399 last option definition is used.
400
d453265f
PS
401- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
402 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
403 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.
404
3e29af1e
PS
405- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
406 Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.
407
b8d45c67

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

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

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

437- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
438 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from

440 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

a512d11b 939
4ba58919
DH
940- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
941
942- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
943 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
944
945- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
946
8ea19a71 947- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 948 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
949
950- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling

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

DH
1001 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
1002
1003- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
1004 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
1005 between primary and secondary.
1006
1007- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
1008 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
1009 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
1010
aa3e348e
DH
1011- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
1012
e9c59645
DH
1013- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
1014 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
1015 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
1016 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
1017 or REQUEST messages.
1018
1019- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
1020 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
1021
c104546d
DH
1022- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.

1028
a512cc3a
DH
1029 Changes since 3.1.0b2
1030
1031- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
1032 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
1033 odd number of leases).
1034
1035- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
1036 rebalance run, and one after.
1037
1038- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
1039 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
1040 processing these messages.

1045 objects.
1046
1ba87b37
EH
1047- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
1048 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
1049 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
1050 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
1051 at Allianz.
1052
a58da042
EH
1053- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
1054 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists

1056- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
1057 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.

1059- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
1060 caused the server to abort.
1061
4d2eaafb
DH
1062- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
1063 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
1064 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

1096 hash table was repaired.
1097
616d67cb
DH
1098- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
1099 entering normal state.
1100
1101- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
1102 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
1103 'xid mismatch' log messages.
1104
1105- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
1106 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 1107
6708d944
DH
1108- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
1109 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
1110 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
1111 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
1112
45d545f0 1113- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
1114 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
1115 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
1116 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
1117 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
1118 to their needs.
1119
1120- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
1121 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
1122 run will attempt balance.
1123
a7ee93fe
DH
1124- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
1125
98311e4b
DH
1126 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
1127
1128- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
1129 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
1130 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
1131 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
1132
98bd7ca0 1133- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 1134 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
1135
1136- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
1137 via OMAPI.
1138
a55ccdd0
DH
1139- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
1140 the protocol draft.
1141
98311e4b
DH
1142- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
1143 one does not already exist on the system.
1144
b43c87ad 1145- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 1146
0b17f049
DH
1147- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
1148 matches RFC 3074.
1149
2727c1cf
DH
1150- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
1151 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 1152 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 1153
febbd402
DH
1154- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
1155 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 1156 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 1157
ee912528
DH
1158- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
1159 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
1160 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
1161 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
1162
1163- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
1164 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
1165 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
1166 priority over the client's parameter request list.
1167
f7fdb216 1168- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 1169 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
1170 DHCPv6 support.
1171
5e864416
DH
1172- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
1173 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
1174 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
1175
b500bd4c
DH
1176- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
1177 have been incorporated.
1178
2426234f
DH
1179- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
1180 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
1181 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
1182 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
1183 that belong to the peer in need.
1184
1185- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
1186 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
1187
1188- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
1189 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
1190 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
1191
334bf491
DH
1192- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
1193 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
1194
3004bebf
DH
1195- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
1196 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
1197 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
1198 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
1199 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
1200
567e8561
DH
1201- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
1202 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
1203 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
1204 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
1205
a396d25f
DH
1206- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
1207 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
1208 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
1209 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
1210 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
1211 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
1212 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
1213 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
1214 ignoring this aspect of their request.
1215
dba5803b
DH
1216- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
1217 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
1218
41e45067 1219- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
1220 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
1221 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
1222 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
1223
41e45067
DH
1224- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
1225 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
1226 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
1227 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 1228
b543fea9
DH
1229- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
1230 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
1231 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
1232 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
1233 via Robin Breathe.
1234
b22de500
DH
1235- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
1236 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
1237 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
1238 from Christof Chen.
1239
96bbe8c5
SK
1240- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
1241 formally supported.
1242
b8221d95
DH
1243 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
1244
1245- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
1246 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
1247
c1e6c832
DH
1248 Changes since 3.0.5
1249
f546c28b
DH
1250- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
1251 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
1252 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 1253 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
1254
1255- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
1256
c1e6c832
DH
1257- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
1258 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
1259 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
1260 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 1261
75ab3070
DH
1262- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
1263
d69fb6a8 1264- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 1265 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 1266
02428754
DH
1267- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
1268 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
1269 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
1270 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
1271 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
1272 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
1273 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
1274 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
1275
1276- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
1277 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
1278 'file' field.
02428754 1279
ecde99a3
DH
1280- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
1281 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
1282
67674ffb
DH
1283- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
1284 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
1285 a patch from Kevin Steves.

DH
1287- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
1288 from Chris Wagner.
1289
c759db75
DH
1290- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
1291 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
1292 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
1293
9aa3f3a5
DH
1294- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
1295 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
1296 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
1297 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
1298 was set.
1299

DH
1300- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
1301 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
1302
d5b6835f
DH
1303- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
1304 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
1305 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
1306 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
1307 active ones.
1308
02428754 1309 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 1310
901306d5 1311- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
1312 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
1313 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
1314 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
1315 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
1316

DH
1317- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
1318 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
1319

DH
1320 Changes since 3.0.4
1321
1322- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
1323 scopes are actually global has been added.
1324
1325- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
1326 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
1327 known to be damaging.
1328
1329- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
1330 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
1331 balancing).
1332
dcc557db
DH
1333- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
1334 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
1335 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
1336
1b2ab55f
DH
1337- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
1338 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
1339 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
1340
e48891e8
DH
1341- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
1342 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
1343 more clear now.
1344
6cbc6629
DH
1345- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
1346 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
1347 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
1348 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
1349 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 1350 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 1351
c5fec5fa
DH
1352- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
1353 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
1354
33e1cb2b
DH
1355- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
1356 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
1357 made possible.
1358
2bddf829
DH
1359- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
1360 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
1361 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
1362
87578987
DH
1363- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
1364 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
1365
e77c575f
DH
1366- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
1367 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
1368 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
1369
2178df03
DH
1370- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
1371 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
1372 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
1373 value with the later configured value).
1374
d5341d9b
SK
1375- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
1376 have been named and documented.
1377
1378- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
1379 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
1380 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
1381 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
1382 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
1383 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
1384 write new output.
1385

DH
1386 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
1387
1388- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
1389 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
1390
1391 Changes since 3.0.4b3
1392
1393- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
1394 mailing list.
1395
88cd8aca
DH
1396 Changes since 3.0.4b2
1397
45d545f0 1398- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
1399 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
1400
1401- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
1402 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
1403
1404- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
1405 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
1406 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
1407 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
1408
1409- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
1410 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
1411 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
1412 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
1413 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
1414 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
1415 transition (properly).
1416
1417- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
1418
1419 Changes since 3.0.4b1
1420
1421- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
1422 STDIN after reading one line.
1423
1424- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
1425 descriptor it opened twice.
1426
1427- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
1428 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
1429 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
1430
1431 Changes since 3.0.3
1432
1433- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
1434 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
1435 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
1436
1437- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
1438 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
1439 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
1440
1441- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
1442 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 1443 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
1444 leases to allocate.
1445
1446- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 1447 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
1448 than the entire block of them.
1449
3a16098f
DH
1450! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
1451 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
1452 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
1453 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
1454 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
1455 to a patch from infamous42md.
1456
1457! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
1458 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
1459 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
1460 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
1461 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
1462 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
1463
1464- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
1465 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
1466 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
1467
1468- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 1469 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
1470
1471- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
1472 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
1473 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
1474 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
1475 transitional states.
1476
1477- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
1478 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
1479 once it detects the old db does not exist.
1480
1481- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
1482 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
1483 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
1484
1485- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 1486 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
1487
1488- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
1489 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
1490
1491- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
1492 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
1493 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
1494
1495- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
1496 patch from 'infamous42md'.
1497
1498- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
1499 repaired.
1500
1501- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
1502 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
1503 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
1504 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
1505
1506- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
1507 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
1508 data.
1509
1510- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
1511 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
1512 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
1513 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
1514 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
1515
1516- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
1517 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
1518 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
1519 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
1520 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
1521
1522- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
1523 has been repaired.
1524
1525- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
1526 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
1527 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
1528 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 1529 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
1530
1531- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 1532 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 1533
45d545f0 1534- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
1535 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
1536 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
1537 move to 3.[01].x.
1538
1539- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
1540 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
1541

DH
1542 Changes since 3.0.3b3
1543
1544- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
1545 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
1546
1547- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
1548 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
1549 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
1550 workaround.
1551
1552 Changes since 3.0.3b2
1553
1554- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
1555 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
1556
1557 Changes since 3.0.3b1
1558
1559- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
1560 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
1561 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
1562
1563- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
1564 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
1565 dynamic updates were also retouched.
1566
98311e4b
DH
1567 Changes since 3.0.2
1568
1569- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 1570 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
1571 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
1572
1573- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
1574 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
1575 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
1576 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
1577 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
1578
1579- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
1580 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 1581 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1582
1583- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
1584 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 1585 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1586
1587- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
1588 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
1589 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
1590 Peter Poeml.
1591
1592- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
1593 Dr. Peter Poeml.
1594
1595- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
1596 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
1597 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
1598 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
1599 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
1600 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
1601
1602- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
1603 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
1604 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
1605 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
1606
1607- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
1608 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
1609 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
1610 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
1611
1612- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
1613 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
1614
1615- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
1616 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
1617 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
1618
1619- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
1620 7 bytes, and failover.
1621
1622- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
1623 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 1624 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1625
1626- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
1627 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
1628 should work better.
1629
1630- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
1631 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
1632 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
1633
1634- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
1635 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
1636 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
1637
1638 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
1639
1640- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
1641 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
1642
1643 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
1644
45d545f0 1645- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
1646 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
1647 overloading. This was repaired.
1648
1649- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
1650 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
1651 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
1652 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
1653 three chunks to fit.
1654
1655- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
1656 were repaired.
1657
1658- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
1659 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
1660 leak).
1661
1662 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
1663
1664- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
1665 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
1666
1667 Changes since 3.0.2b1
1668
1669- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
1670
1671 Changes since 3.0.1
1672
1673- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
1674 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
1675 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
1676
1677- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
1678 name was not provided by the server.
1679
1680- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
1681 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
1682
1683- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
1684 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
1685
1686- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
1687 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
1688
1689- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
1690
1691- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
1692
1693- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
1694 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
1695 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
1696 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
1697 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
1698
1699- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
1700 the configuration be globally scoped.
1701
1702- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
1703 Farkas.
1704
1705- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
1706 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1707
1708- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
1709 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
1710
1711- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
1712 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
1713
1714- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
1715 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
1716 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
1717 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
1718
1719- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
1720 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
1721 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
1722 respond to POOLREQ messages.
1723
1724- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
1725 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
1726 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
1727
1728- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
1729
1730- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
1731 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
1732 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
1733
1734- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
1735 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
1736 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
1737 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
1738 Fjone and directconnect.no.
1739
1740- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
1741 to Andreas Gustafsson.
1742
1743- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
1744 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
1745
1746- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
1747 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
1748 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
1749 DISCOVER timeout handling.
1750
1751- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
1752 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
1753
1754- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
1755 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
1756 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
1757
1758- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
1759 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
1760 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
1761 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
1762 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
1763 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
1764
1765- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
1766 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
1767 Infoblox.
1768
1769- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
1770
1771- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
1772 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
1773 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
1774 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
1775 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
1776 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
1777 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
1778
1779- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
1780 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
1781 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
1782
1783- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
1784 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
1785 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
1786
1787- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
1788
1789 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
1790
1791- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
1792 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
1793 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
1794 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
1795 systems either.
1796
1797- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
1798
1799- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
1800 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
1801 is false.
1802
1803- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
1804 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
1805
1806- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
1807
1808 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
1809
1810! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
1811 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
1812 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
1813 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
1814 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
1815 both finding and solving the problem.
1816
1817! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 1818 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
1819 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
1820 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
1821 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
1822 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
1823 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
1824 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
1825 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
1826 published version of ISC DHCP.
1827
1828- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
1829
1830- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
1831
1832 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
1833
1834- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
1835 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
1836 Richard Hirst.
1837
1838- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
1839 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
1840 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
1841
1842- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
1843
1844- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
1845 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
1846 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
1847 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
1848
1849- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 1850 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
1851
1852- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
1853 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
1854
1855- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
1856
1857 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
1858
1859- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
1860 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
1861
1862- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
1863 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
1864 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
1865
1866- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
1867 by name was fixed.
1868
45d545f0 1869- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
1870 longer result in error.
1871
1872- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
1873
1874- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
1875 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
1876 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
1877
1878- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
1879 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
1880
1881- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
1882 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
1883 Blapp.
1884
1885- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
1886 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
1887 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
1888 Martin Blapp.
1889
1890- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
1891 expiry times in failover configurations.
1892
1893- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
1894 Steve G.
1895
1896- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
1897 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
1898
1899- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
1900 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
1901 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
1902 now "unknown-144".
1903
1904- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
1905 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
1906
1907 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
1908
1909- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
1910
1911- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
1912 not be bash.
1913
1914- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1915
1916- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
1917 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
1918 that errored before will now work properly.
1919
1920- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
1921 names was repaired.
1922
1923- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
1924 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
1925 configuration file.
1926
1927- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
1928 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1929
1930- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
1931 error rather than a null dereference.
1932
1933 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
1934
1935- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
1936
1937- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
1938
1939- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
1940 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
1941
1942- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
1943
1944- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
1945
1946- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
1947 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
1948 self-corrupting lease databases.
1949
1950- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
1951
1952- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
1953 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
1954
1955- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
1956
1957- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
1958
1959- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
1960 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
1961 Ling Gou.
1962
1963- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
1964 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1965
1966- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
1967 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
1968 Ted Lemon for the patch.
1969
1970- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
1971 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
1972
1973 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
1974
1975- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
1976 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
1977
1978- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
1979
1980- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
1981 a memory leak.
1982
1983- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
1984 script.
1985
1986- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
1987
1988- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
1989
1990- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
1991
1992- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
1993
1994- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
1995
1996- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
1997
1998- Increment the hop count when relaying.
1999
2000- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
2001
2002- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
2003
2004- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
2005
2006- Change the type of rbuf_max.
2007
2008- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
2009
2010 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
2011
2012- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
2013 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
2014 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
2015
2016 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
2017
2018- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
2019 to be renewed.
2020
2021- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
2022 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
2023
2024- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
2025 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
2026
2027- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
2028 that two permit lists matched.
2029
2030- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
2031 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
2032
2033- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
2034
2035- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
2036 requested it, contrary to the standard.
2037
2038- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
2039
2040- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
2041
2042- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
2043 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
2044 going to update its A record.
2045
2046- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
2047 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
2048 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
2049 DNS server.
2050
2051- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
2052
2053- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
2054
2055- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
2056 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
2057 NetBSD project).
2058
2059- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
2060 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
2061
2062- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
2063 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
2064
2065- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
2066
2067- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
2068
2069- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
2070 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
2071 failover protocol standard.
2072
2073- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
2074 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
2075 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
2076
2077- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
2078 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
2079 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
2080 do so.
2081
2082- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
2083
2084 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
2085
2086- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
2087
2088- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
2089 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
2090
2091- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
2092 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
2093
2094- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
2095 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
2096 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
2097
2098- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
2099 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
2100 network, merge the two pools.
2101
2102- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
2103 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
2104 fix this bug.
2105
2106 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
2107
2108- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
2109 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
2110
2111- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
2112 the same case.
2113
2114- Additional documentation.
2115
2116- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
2117 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
2118
2119 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
2120
2121- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
2122- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
2123
adbef119 2124 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
2125
2126- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
2127 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
2128 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
2129 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
2130 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
2131
adbef119 2132 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
2133
2134- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
2135 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
2136 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
2137 wasn't the one that removed it.
2138
2139- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
2140 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
2141 were not configured.
2142
2143- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
2144
2145- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
2146 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
2147 routing information.
2148
2149- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
2150 request being sent.
2151
2152- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
2153 done.
2154
2155- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
2156 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
2157 were pending.
2158
2159- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
2160 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
2161 problems with failover.
2162
2163- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
2164 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
2165 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
2166
adbef119 2167 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
2168
2169- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
2170 smash in the subclass allocation code.
2171
2172- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
2173 no object is open, it dumps core.
2174
2175- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
2176
2177- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
2178
2179- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
2180
2181- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
2182 a host object attribute with a null value.
2183
2184 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
2185
2186- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
2187
2188- Fix an obscure core dump.
2189
2190- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
2191 when crucial information is left out.
2192
2193- Log "no free leases" as an error.
2194
2195- Documentation updates.
2196
2197 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
2198
2199- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
2200
2201- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
2202 structure wasn't zeroed.
2203
2204- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
2205 incorrectly.
2206
2207- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
2208 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
2209 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
2210 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
2211 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
2212 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
2213 restarted.
2214
2215 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
2216
2217- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
2218 in failover-enabled pools.
2219
2220- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
2221 declarations).
2222
2223- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
2224 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
2225
2226- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
2227 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
2228
2229- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
2230
2231- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
2232 defined but not referenced by any pools.
2233
2234- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
2235

TL
2248 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
2249
2250- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
2251 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
2252 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
2253
2254- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
2255 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
2256 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
2257 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
2258 string.
2259
2260- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

2265 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
2266
2267- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
2268 malformed packets.
2269
2270- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
2271
2272- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
2273 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
2274 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
2275
2276- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
2277
2278- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
2279
2280- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
2281
2282- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
2283 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
2284
2285- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
2286 tcp connections from being played back.
2287
2288- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
2289 on exit.
2290
2291- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
2292
2293- Add some configurability to the build system.
2294
2295- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
2296
2297- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
2298 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
2299 hadn't been noticed until now.
2300
2301 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
2302
2303- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
2304 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
2305
2306- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
2307 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
2308 conformant, but also didn't work).
2309
2310- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
2311 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
2312
2313- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
2314 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
2315
2316- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
2317 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
2318
2319- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
2320 variables to leases via OMAPI.
2321
2322- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
2323 doing failover.
2324
2325- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
2326 running on alpha processors.
2327
2328- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
2329 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
2330
2331- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
2332
2333- Install omshell (including new documentation).
2334
2335- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
2336 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
2337
2338- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
2339
2340- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
2341 actually named (key names are domain names).
2342
2343- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
2344
2345- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
2346 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
2347
2348- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
2349 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
2350
2351- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
2352 statements.
2353
2354- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
2355 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
2356
2357- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
2358 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
2359 operating.

TL
2361 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
2362
2363- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
2364 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
2365 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
2366 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
2367
2368- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
2369 using omapi to manipulate leases.
2370
2371- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
2372
2373
2374 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
2375
2376- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
2377 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
2378
2379- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
2380 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
2381 to the chain.
2382
2383- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
2384
2385- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
2386
2387- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
2388
98311e4b 2389- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

2398- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
2399 DHCPDECLINE.
2400
2401- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
2402
2403- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
2404 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
2405 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
2406
2407- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
2408
2409- Documentation fixes.
2410
2411- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
2412 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
2413
2414- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
2415 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
2416
2417- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
2418
2419- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
2420
2421- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
2422 case-insensitive.
2423
2424- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
2425
98311e4b 2426- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
2427 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
2428 consistently.
2429
2430- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
2431 systems with the probe not working correctly.
2432
2433- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

TL
2435 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
2436
2437- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
2438 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
2439 result of duplicate leases.
2440
2441- Document OMAPI server objects.

2446 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
2447
2448- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
2449 core dumps.
2450
2451- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
2452 Friedrich.
2453
2454- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
2455
2456 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
2457
2458- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
2459 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 2460 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
2461 billing class code.
2462
2463- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
2464 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
2465
2466- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
2467 trace file.
2468
79ea3de8 2469 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 2470
79ea3de8
TL
2471- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
2472 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
2473 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
2474 e.g., Digital Unix.
2475
2476- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
2477 when no error had occurred.
2478
2479- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
2480 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
2481 non-communicating state.
2482
2483- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
2484
2485- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
2486 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
2487 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
2488
2489- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
2490 when the client lease expired.
2491
2492- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
2493 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
2494 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
2495 in testing.
2496
2497- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
2498 the command line, it would fail.
2499
2500- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
2501 user impact).
2502
2503- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
2504
2505- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
2506 they're executable.
2507

2511 ANY SITE AT WHICH FIXED-ADDRESS STATEMENTS ARE BEING USED SHOULD
2512 UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY. This has been a long-standing bug - thanks to
2513 Alvise Nobile for discovering it and helping me to find it!

2516 Transmeta.

TL
2518- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
2519 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
2520 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
2521 a new release candidate is expected shortly.
2522
2523- There is a known problem in the DDNS update code that is probably a
2524 bug, and is not, as far as we know, fixed in this patchlevel.

TL
2526 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 24

2529 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.
2530
2531- Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation
2532
2533- Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines.
2534
2535- Make Token Ring work on Linux 2.4
2536
2537- Fix the Digital Unix BPF_WORDALIGN bug.
2538

2546
2547- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
2548 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
2549
2550- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
2551 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
2552 unbill the old class.
2553
2554- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
2555 process the state transition immediately.
2556
2557- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
2558 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
2559
2560- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
2561
2562- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
2563
2564- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
2565
2566- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
2567
2568- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
2569 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
2570 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
2571
2572- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
2573 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
2574
2575- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
2576 lease file.
2577
2578- Don't overwrite tracefiles.
2579
2580- Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover.

2598 pl19.
2599
2600- Actually fix the spin described in the changes for pl20. The
2601 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
2602 past the regression test.

2610 DHCPREQUEST.

2620- Allow the server to be placed in partner-down state using OMAPI.
2621 (Damien Neil)
2622
2623- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
2624 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
2625
2626- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
2627 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
2628 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
2629
2630- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
2631 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
2632 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
2633 message.
2634
2635- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
2636 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
2637 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
2638
98311e4b 2639- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
2640 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
2641 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
2642 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
2643 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
2644 this way will work.
2645
b3fad8ac
TL
2646- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
2647
2648- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
2649 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
2650 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
2651 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
2652
2653 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
2654
2655 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
2656
2657- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
2658 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
2659 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
2660
2661- Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by
2662 Hermann Lauer.

2665 messages.

TL
2674- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
2675 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
2676 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
2677 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
2678 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
2679 tracking down memory leaks.
2680
2681- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
2682 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
2683 Solaris.
2684
2685- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
2686 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
2687 corruption and core dumps.
2688
2689- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
2690 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
2691
2692- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
2693
2694- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
2695 and implemented by Damien Neil.

2736- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
2737 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
2738 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
2739 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
2740 used in class statements to control address allocation.
2741

2752 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
2753 practical use otherwise.

2765 option.

2768 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.

2771 that were not printing enough information.

2774 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.

2777 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
2778 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary

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

2850 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 9
2851
2852- Fix DHCP client handling of vendor encapsulated options.
2853
2854- Fix a bug in the handling of relay agent information options introduced
2855 in patchlevel 9.
2856
2857- Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
2858 options at renewal time.
2859
2860- Add the ability to test the client's binding state in the client
2861 configuration language.
2862
2863- Fix a core dump in the DNS update code.
2864
2865- Fix some expression evaluation bugs that were causing updates to be
2866 done when no client hostname was received.
2867
2868- Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
2869
2870- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
2871 the DHCP option space.
2872
2873- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
2874
2875- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
2876 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
2877
2878- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
2879 silently dropped.
2880
2881- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
2882 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
2883
2884- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
2885 will be correctly updated.

TL
2898- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
2899 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
2900 possible to exploit it any further than that.
2901
2902- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
2903 option.
2904
2905- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
2906 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
2907 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
2908 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
2909 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
2910 meaningfully.
2911
2912- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
2913 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
2914 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
2915
2916- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
2917 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
2918 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
2919 this one down!
2920
2921- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
2922 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
2923 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking
2924 down and fixing this problem.

2926 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 5

TL
2928- Fix a bug in the recent enhancement to the interface discovery code
2929 to support arbitrary-length interface lists.
2930
2931- Support NUL-terminated DHCP options when initializing client-script
2932 environment.
2933
2934- Fix suffix operator.
2935
2936- Fix NetWare/IP option parsing.
2937
2938- Better error/status checking in dhcpctl initialization and omapi
2939 connection code.
2940
2941- Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
2942
2943- Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
2944
2945- Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
2946 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
2947
2948- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
2949
2950- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
2951
2952- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
2953 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
2954
2955- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
2956 spawn with.
2957
2958- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
2959 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
2960
2961- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
2962 for OMAPI.
2963
2964- Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI
2965 can install in host declarations.

2967 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4
2968
2969- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
2970 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
2971 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
2972 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
2973 comments)!
2974
2975- Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :')

2977- Fixed SunOS 4 build. Thanks to Robert Elz for responding to my
2978 request for help on this with patches!
2979
2980- Incorporated a change that should fix a problem reported by Philippe
2981 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
2982 lost, they never reconnect.
2983
2984- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
2985 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
2986
2987- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
2988 dump.
2989
2990- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
2991 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
2992 catching this one.
2993

TL
2994 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
2995
2996- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 2997 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
2998 lease renewal time.
2999
3000- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
3001 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
3002 declared without a key.
3003
3004- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
3005
3006- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
3007 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
3008
3009- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
3010 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
3011 determine the maximum size of the response.

3023- Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about
3024 using memcmp().

3026 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 1
3027
3028- Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
3029 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
3030 pointing this out.
3031
3032- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
3033 exit.
3034
3035- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
3036
3037- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
3038 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
