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
134 server to crash. [ISC-Bugs #21992]
135 CERT: TBA CVE: TBA
136
badc999d
SR
137 Changes since 4.2.0b2
138
139- Add declaration for variable in debug code in alloc.c. [ISC-Bugs #21472]
0d8c3d6e 140
1e05d095
SR
141 Changes since 4.2.0b1
142
d122accf
SR
143- Prohibit including lease time information in a response to a DHCP INFORM.
144 [ISC-Bugs #21092]
1e05d095 145
1943bbf8
SR
146! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
147 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
d122accf 148 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]
63ff896a 149 CERT: VU#541921 - CVE: CVE-2010-2156
1943bbf8 150
8a513c43
DH
151- A memory leak in ddns processing was closed. [ISC-Bugs #21377]
152
d122accf
SR
153- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
154 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
155 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
156 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
157 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
158
0d8c3d6e
DH
159- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
160 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
161 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
162 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
163 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
164
590298e7
SR
165- Add some debugging output for use with the DDNS code. [ISC-Bugs #20916]
166
600ee619 167- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
2b58b865
SR
168 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
169
170- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
171 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
172 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
173 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
174 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h
175 [ISC-Bugs #21126]
600ee619 176
a5c7bf77
DH
177- libisc/libdns is now brought up to version 9.7.1rc1. This corrects
178 three reported flaws in ISC DHCP;
179
180 o DHCP processes (dhcpd, dhclient) fail to start if one of either the
181 IPv4 or IPv6 address families is not present. [ISC-Bugs #21122]
182
183 o Assertion failure when attempting to cancel a previously running DDNS
184 update. [ISC-Bugs #21133]
185
186 o Compilation failure of libisc/libdns due to the use of a flexible
187 array member. [ISC-Bugs #21316]
188
0585235c
SR
189 Changes since 4.2.0a2
190
191- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
192 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
193
f4bc8261
SR
194- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
195 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
196 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
d122accf 197 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
f4bc8261 198
33692791
DH
199- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
200 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
201 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
202 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
203 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
204 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
205 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
206 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
207 [ISC-Bugs #17741]
208
3c941d42 209 Changes since 4.2.0a1
928618dd
DH
210
211- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
212 is no longer truncated to one octet.
213
3c941d42
DH
214- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
215
bdd8e747
DH
216- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
217 reflect support for prefix delegation.
218
3da71461
SR
219- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
220
fdfebedf
DH
221- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
222 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
223 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
224 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
225 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
226 entry for each lease.
227
7aa153b8
SR
228- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
229
adbef119
DH
230 Changes since 4.1.0 (new features)
231
d340bc24
DH
232- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
233 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 234 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
adbef119 235
0829d595
DH
236- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
237 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
238 Cantrell at Red Hat.
239
8a3c1e33
PS
240- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
241 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.
242
a41d7a25
PS
243- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
244
9e3eb22a
DH
245- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
246 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
247 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
248 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
249 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
250 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
251
33ea4622
DH
252- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
253 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
254 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
255 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
256 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
257 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
258 FQDN options by default).
259
5a671e87
DH
260- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
261 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
262 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
263 determined lease time) are omitted.
264
98bf1607
SR
265- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
266 The DHCP server or client can now continue with it's processing while
267 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
268
269- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
270 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
271 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.
272
59112e84
SR
273 Changes since 4.1.0 (bug fixes)
274
62f6843d
MA
275- Remove infinite loop in token_print_indent_concat().
276
59112e84
SR
277- Validate the argument to the -p option.
278
47e6eb82
DH
279- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
280 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
281 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
282 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
283 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
284
159c89d7
EH
285- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
286
1aa0fe5e
DH
287- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
288 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
289 had been deleted from configuration.
290
cd51403d
SR
291- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
292 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 293 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d
SR
294 were being ignored.
295
64e1823d
DH
296- The db-time-format option was documented in manpages.
297
26e59ee9
DH
298- Using reserved leases no longer results in 'lease with binding state
299 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
300 Nordahl.
301
70ea9345
PS
302- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
303 dhcpv6 disabled.
304
8d7dca58 305- Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to a
4b97eaff 306 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
819186b7 307
f4534b17
DH
308- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
309 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
310
f9453d21
DH
311- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
312 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
313 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
314
315- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
316 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
317 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
318 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
319 fewer system calls.
320
a3dcc0b1
DH
321- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
322 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
323 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
324 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
325 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
326 Christof Chen.
327
95fd7038
DH
328- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
329 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
330 and in normal state.
331
332- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
333 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
334
8a3c1e33
PS
335- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
336
337- Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument
338 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
339 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.
340
dedde1ba
DH
341- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
342 rather than restarting the listener.
343
a57df74a
DH
344- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
345 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
346
347- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
348 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
349 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
350
350576c5
DH
351- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
352 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
353 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
354 timeouts).
355
792156a9
DH
356- A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be parsed
357 in failover state records.
358
8a4e543b
DH
359! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
360 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
361 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 362 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692
8a4e543b 363
a1308b64
DH
364- Fixed a bug where relay agent options would never be returned when
365 processing a DHCPINFORM.
366
1b12d999
DH
367- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
368 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
369 last option definition is used.
370
d453265f
PS
371- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
372 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
373 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.
374
3e29af1e
PS
375- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
376 Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.
377
b8d45c67
DH
378- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
379 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
380 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
381 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
382 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
383 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
384
583c1c16
DH
385- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
386 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
387 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
388 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
389
e4e3a2ab
DH
390! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
391 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 392
875e99dc
SR
393- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
394 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
395
2267da84
DH
396- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
397 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
398 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
399 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
400 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 401 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
402 configuration.
403
cd3f0b9b
DH
404- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
405 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
406
0493fdca
SR
407- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
408 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
409 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
410 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.

412- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
413 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
414 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
415 was always properly set.

423
424- A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all
425 successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than
426 "abandoned".

DH
430- Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some
431 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
432
433- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
434 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
435
436- Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an
d7ac7a27 437 update that has been transmitted, but not acknowledged.

fbcee149
DH
441- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
442 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
443 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
444 in future releases.
445
f1672d89
DH
446- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
447 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.
448
236d3a99
DH
449- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
450 'dhclient -6' support.
451
efa5e6b9
DH
452- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
453 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
454 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
455 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

464 routers option before the subnet mask option were receiving
465 only the latter. Fixed.

483- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
484 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
485 parameter.

501- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
502 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
503 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.

505- Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation
506 support.

520
7d6180be
DH
521- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
522 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
523
524- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
525 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
526 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
527 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
528 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
529 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
530 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
531 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
532 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
533 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
534 shared-network.
535
536- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
537 configured option values.
538
539- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
540 support class statements.

543 selection were repaired.

ecddae64
DH
545- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
546 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
547 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
548 by the OS.
549
550- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
551 address.

022fe95e
EH
570- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
571 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
572 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.

587- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
588 an empty active lease.

be62cf06
FD
590- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
591
01a54c17
EH
592- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
593 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
594 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
595 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
596
597- MINUS tokens should be parseable again.
598
599- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
600 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
601 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
602 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
603 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
604 Christof Chen.
605

614
615- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
616 be more helpful.
617
618- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
619 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
620 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
621
622- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
623 was repaired.
624
625- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
626 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
627 been repaired.
628
629- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
630 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
631 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
632
49f61135
DH
633- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
634 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
635
41d4652f
DH
636- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
637 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
638 IPv4 address.
639
2c9bf1f4
DH
640- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
641 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
642 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
643 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
644 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
645
646- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
647 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
648 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
649
cff9b78f
SK
650- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.

c4d29896
SK
652- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
653
57fcb8d9
SK
654- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
655 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
656 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
657 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
658 unnecessary logging.
659
219a65eb
DH
660- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
661 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
662
ffdf3c8c
DH
663- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
664 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
665 is incompatible is printed.
666
667- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
668 a previously undefined option code.
669

670- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
671 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.

674 than the year 2000.

685 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
686 configuration.
76db44f9 687
e32529a5
EH
688- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
689 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
690
76db44f9
SK
691- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
692 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
693 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 694
6f76de58
SK
695- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
696 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
697 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
698 a requested address.
699
703873ab
DH
700- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
701 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
702 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
703 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
704
705- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
706 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
707 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
708 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
709
b024480e
DH
710- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
711 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
712 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
713
c0216cb7
DH
714- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
715 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

731 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
732 one ever has.

734- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
735 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
736 to a REQUEST.

738- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
739 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root

747 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
748 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
749 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.

753 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
754 new address.

758- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
759 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protcols can be run
760 simultaneously on a single interface.

763 of service under unusual server configurations

804- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
805 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies

810
7285af30
DH
811- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
812 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
813 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
814 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
815 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

864 use 'struct lifconf' structures to pass values.

DH
866- Two new operators, ~= and ~~, have been integrated to implement
867 boolean matches by regular expression (such as may be used in
868 class matching statements). Thanks to a patch by Alexandr S.
869 Agranovsky, which underwent slight modification.

900- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
901 initialized.
902
903- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
904
905- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
906 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
907
908- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 909
4ba58919
DH
910- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
911
912- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
913 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
914
915- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
916
8ea19a71 917- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 918 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
919
920- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
921 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.

DH
929 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
930
931- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
932 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
933 no support currently for both.
934
935- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
936 IAADDR option.
937
938- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
939 options.
940
941- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
942
943- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
944 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
945
946- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
947 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
948 specifying type 1 or type 2).
949
950- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
951 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
952
953- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
954 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
955 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
956 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
957 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
958 differently, they both use the same code here).
959
960- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
961 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
962 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
963
964- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
965
966- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
967 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
968 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
969 it should not intercept.

DH
971 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
972
973- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
974 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
975 between primary and secondary.
976
977- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
978 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
979 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
980
aa3e348e
DH
981- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
982
e9c59645
DH
983- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
984 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
985 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
986 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
987 or REQUEST messages.
988
989- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
990 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

999 Changes since 3.1.0b2
1000
1001- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
1002 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
1003 odd number of leases).
1004
1005- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
1006 rebalance run, and one after.
1007
1008- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
1009 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
1010 processing these messages.

1015 objects.
1016
1ba87b37
EH
1017- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
1018 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
1019 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
1020 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
1021 at Allianz.

1023- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
1024 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists

DH
1032- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added

1066 hash table was repaired.
1067
616d67cb
DH
1068- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
1069 entering normal state.
1070
1071- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
1072 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
1073 'xid mismatch' log messages.
1074
1075- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
1076 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 1077
6708d944
DH
1078- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
1079 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
1080 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
1081 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
1082
45d545f0 1083- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
1084 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
1085 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
1086 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
1087 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
1088 to their needs.
1089
1090- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
1091 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
1092 run will attempt balance.
1093
a7ee93fe
DH
1094- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
1095
98311e4b
DH
1096 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
1097
1098- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
1099 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
1100 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
1101 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
1102
98bd7ca0 1103- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 1104 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
1105
1106- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
1107 via OMAPI.
1108
a55ccdd0
DH
1109- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
1110 the protocol draft.
1111
98311e4b
DH
1112- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
1113 one does not already exist on the system.
1114
b43c87ad 1115- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 1116
0b17f049
DH
1117- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
1118 matches RFC 3074.
1119
2727c1cf
DH
1120- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
1121 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 1122 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 1123
febbd402
DH
1124- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
1125 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 1126 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 1127
ee912528
DH
1128- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
1129 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
1130 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
1131 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
1132
1133- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
1134 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
1135 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
1136 priority over the client's parameter request list.
1137
f7fdb216 1138- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 1139 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
1140 DHCPv6 support.
1141
5e864416
DH
1142- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
1143 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
1144 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
1145
b500bd4c
DH
1146- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
1147 have been incorporated.
1148
2426234f
DH
1149- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
1150 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
1151 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
1152 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
1153 that belong to the peer in need.
1154
1155- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
1156 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
1157
1158- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
1159 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
1160 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
1161
334bf491
DH
1162- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
1163 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
1164
3004bebf
DH
1165- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
1166 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
1167 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
1168 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
1169 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
1170
567e8561
DH
1171- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
1172 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
1173 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
1174 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
1175
a396d25f
DH
1176- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
1177 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
1178 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
1179 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
1180 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
1181 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
1182 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
1183 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
1184 ignoring this aspect of their request.
1185
dba5803b
DH
1186- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
1187 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
1188
41e45067 1189- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
1190 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
1191 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
1192 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
1193
41e45067
DH
1194- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
1195 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
1196 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
1197 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 1198
b543fea9
DH
1199- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
1200 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
1201 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
1202 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
1203 via Robin Breathe.
1204
b22de500
DH
1205- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
1206 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
1207 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
1208 from Christof Chen.
1209
96bbe8c5
SK
1210- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
1211 formally supported.

b8221d95
DH
1213 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
1214
1215- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
1216 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.

c1e6c832
DH
1218 Changes since 3.0.5
1219
f546c28b
DH
1220- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
1221 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
1222 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 1223 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
1224
1225- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
1226
c1e6c832
DH
1227- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
1228 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
1229 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
1230 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 1231
75ab3070
DH
1232- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
1233
d69fb6a8 1234- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 1235 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 1236
02428754
DH
1237- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
1238 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
1239 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
1240 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
1241 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
1242 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
1243 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
1244 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
1245
1246- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
1247 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
1248 'file' field.
02428754 1249
ecde99a3
DH
1250- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
1251 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
1252
67674ffb
DH
1253- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
1254 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
1255 a patch from Kevin Steves.
1256
830ebc4c
DH
1257- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
1258 from Chris Wagner.
1259
c759db75
DH
1260- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
1261 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
1262 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
1263
9aa3f3a5
DH
1264- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
1265 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
1266 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
1267 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
1268 was set.
1269
3d0c598a
DH
1270- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
1271 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
1272
d5b6835f
DH
1273- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
1274 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
1275 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
1276 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
1277 active ones.
1278
02428754 1279 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 1280
901306d5 1281- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
1282 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
1283 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
1284 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
1285 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
1286
87a08ccc
DH
1287- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
1288 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
1289
6da113fb
DH
1290 Changes since 3.0.4
1291
1292- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
1293 scopes are actually global has been added.
1294
1295- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
1296 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
1297 known to be damaging.
1298
1299- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
1300 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
1301 balancing).
1302

DH
1303- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
1304 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
1305 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
1306

DH
1307- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
1308 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
1309 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).

DH
1311- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
1312 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
1313 more clear now.

DH
1315- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
1316 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
1317 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
1318 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
1319 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 1320 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.

1322- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
1323 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
1324

DH
1325- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
1326 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
1327 made possible.

DH
1329- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
1330 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
1331 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.

1333- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
1334 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.

DH
1336- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
1337 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
1338 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
1339
2178df03
DH
1340- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
1341 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
1342 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
1343 value with the later configured value).

SK
1345- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
1346 have been named and documented.
1347
1348- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
1349 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
1350 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
1351 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
1352 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
1353 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
1354 write new output.

1360
1361 Changes since 3.0.4b3

1363- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
1364 mailing list.

DH
1366 Changes since 3.0.4b2
1367
45d545f0 1368- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
1369 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
1370
1371- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
1372 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
1373
1374- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
1375 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
1376 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
1377 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
1378
1379- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
1380 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
1381 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
1382 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
1383 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
1384 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
1385 transition (properly).
1386
1387- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
1388
1389 Changes since 3.0.4b1
1390
1391- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
1392 STDIN after reading one line.
1393
1394- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
1395 descriptor it opened twice.
1396
1397- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
1398 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
1399 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
1400
1401 Changes since 3.0.3
1402
1403- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
1404 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
1405 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
1406
1407- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
1408 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
1409 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
1410
1411- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
1412 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 1413 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
1414 leases to allocate.
1415
1416- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 1417 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
1418 than the entire block of them.
1419
3a16098f
DH
1420! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
1421 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
1422 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
1423 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
1424 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
1425 to a patch from infamous42md.
1426
1427! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
1428 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
1429 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
1430 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
1431 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
1432 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
1433
1434- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
1435 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
1436 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
1437
1438- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 1439 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

DH
1440
1441- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
1442 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
1443 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
1444 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
1445 transitional states.
1446
1447- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
1448 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
1449 once it detects the old db does not exist.
1450
1451- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
1452 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
1453 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
1454
1455- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 1456 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
1457
1458- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
1459 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
1460
1461- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
1462 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
1463 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
1464
1465- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
1466 patch from 'infamous42md'.
1467
1468- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
1469 repaired.
1470
1471- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
1472 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
1473 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
1474 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
1475
1476- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
1477 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
1478 data.
1479
1480- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
1481 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
1482 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
1483 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
1484 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
1485
1486- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
1487 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
1488 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
1489 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
1490 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
1491
1492- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
1493 has been repaired.
1494
1495- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
1496 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
1497 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
1498 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 1499 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

1500
1501- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 1502 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 1503
45d545f0 1504- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
1505 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
1506 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
1507 move to 3.[01].x.
1508
1509- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
1510 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

1512 Changes since 3.0.3b3
1513
1514- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
1515 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
1516
1517- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
1518 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
1519 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
1520 workaround.
1521
1522 Changes since 3.0.3b2
1523
1524- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
1525 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
1526
1527 Changes since 3.0.3b1
1528
1529- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
1530 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
1531 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
1532
1533- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
1534 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
1535 dynamic updates were also retouched.

DH
1537 Changes since 3.0.2
1538
1539- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 1540 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
1541 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
1542
1543- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
1544 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
1545 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
1546 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
1547 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
1548
1549- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
1550 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 1551 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1552
1553- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
1554 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 1555 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1556
1557- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
1558 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
1559 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
1560 Peter Poeml.
1561
1562- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
1563 Dr. Peter Poeml.
1564
1565- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
1566 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
1567 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
1568 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
1569 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
1570 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
1571
1572- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
1573 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
1574 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
1575 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
1576
1577- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
1578 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
1579 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
1580 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
1581
1582- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
1583 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
1584
1585- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
1586 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
1587 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
1588
1589- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
1590 7 bytes, and failover.
1591
1592- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
1593 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 1594 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1595
1596- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
1597 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
1598 should work better.
1599
1600- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
1601 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
1602 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
1603
1604- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
1605 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
1606 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
1607
1608 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
1609
1610- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
1611 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
1612
1613 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
1614
45d545f0 1615- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
1616 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
1617 overloading. This was repaired.
1618
1619- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
1620 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
1621 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
1622 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
1623 three chunks to fit.
1624
1625- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
1626 were repaired.
1627
1628- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
1629 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
1630 leak).
1631
1632 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
1633
1634- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
1635 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
1636
1637 Changes since 3.0.2b1
1638
1639- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
1640
1641 Changes since 3.0.1
1642
1643- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
1644 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
1645 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
1646
1647- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
1648 name was not provided by the server.
1649
1650- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
1651 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
1652
1653- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
1654 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
1655
1656- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
1657 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
1658
1659- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
1660
1661- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
1662
1663- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
1664 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
1665 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
1666 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
1667 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
1668
1669- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
1670 the configuration be globally scoped.
1671
1672- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
1673 Farkas.
1674
1675- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
1676 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1677
1678- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
1679 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
1680
1681- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
1682 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
1683
1684- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
1685 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
1686 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
1687 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
1688
1689- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
1690 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
1691 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
1692 respond to POOLREQ messages.
1693
1694- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
1695 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
1696 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
1697
1698- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
1699
1700- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
1701 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
1702 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
1703
1704- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
1705 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
1706 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
1707 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
1708 Fjone and directconnect.no.
1709
1710- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
1711 to Andreas Gustafsson.
1712
1713- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
1714 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
1715
1716- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
1717 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
1718 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
1719 DISCOVER timeout handling.
1720
1721- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
1722 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
1723
1724- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
1725 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
1726 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
1727
1728- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
1729 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
1730 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
1731 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
1732 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
1733 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
1734
1735- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
1736 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
1737 Infoblox.
1738
1739- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
1740
1741- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
1742 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
1743 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
1744 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
1745 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
1746 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
1747 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
1748
1749- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
1750 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
1751 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
1752
1753- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
1754 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
1755 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
1756
1757- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
1758
1759 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
1760
1761- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
1762 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
1763 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
1764 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
1765 systems either.
1766
1767- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
1768
1769- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
1770 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
1771 is false.
1772
1773- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
1774 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
1775
1776- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
1777
1778 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
1779
1780! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
1781 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
1782 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
1783 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
1784 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
1785 both finding and solving the problem.
1786
1787! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 1788 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
1789 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
1790 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
1791 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
1792 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
1793 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
1794 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
1795 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
1796 published version of ISC DHCP.
1797
1798- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
1799
1800- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
1801
1802 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
1803
1804- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
1805 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
1806 Richard Hirst.
1807
1808- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
1809 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
1810 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
1811
1812- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
1813
1814- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
1815 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
1816 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
1817 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
1818
1819- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 1820 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
1821
1822- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
1823 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
1824
1825- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
1826
1827 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
1828
1829- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
1830 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
1831
1832- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
1833 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
1834 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
1835
1836- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
1837 by name was fixed.
1838
45d545f0 1839- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
1840 longer result in error.
1841
1842- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
1843
1844- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
1845 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
1846 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
1847
1848- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
1849 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
1850
1851- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
1852 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
1853 Blapp.
1854
1855- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
1856 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
1857 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
1858 Martin Blapp.
1859
1860- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
1861 expiry times in failover configurations.
1862
1863- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
1864 Steve G.
1865
1866- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
1867 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
1868
1869- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
1870 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
1871 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
1872 now "unknown-144".
1873
1874- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
1875 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
1876
1877 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
1878
1879- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
1880
1881- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
1882 not be bash.
1883
1884- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1885
1886- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
1887 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
1888 that errored before will now work properly.
1889
1890- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
1891 names was repaired.
1892
1893- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
1894 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
1895 configuration file.
1896
1897- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
1898 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1899
1900- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
1901 error rather than a null dereference.
1902
1903 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
1904
1905- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
1906
1907- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
1908
1909- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
1910 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
1911
1912- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
1913
1914- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
1915
1916- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
1917 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
1918 self-corrupting lease databases.
1919
1920- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
1921
1922- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
1923 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
1924
1925- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
1926
1927- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
1928
1929- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
1930 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
1931 Ling Gou.
1932
1933- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
1934 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1935
1936- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
1937 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
1938 Ted Lemon for the patch.
1939
1940- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
1941 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
1942
1943 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
1944
1945- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
1946 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
1947
1948- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
1949
1950- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
1951 a memory leak.
1952
1953- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
1954 script.
1955
1956- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
1957
1958- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
1959
1960- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
1961
1962- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
1963
1964- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
1965
1966- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
1967
1968- Increment the hop count when relaying.
1969
1970- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
1971
1972- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
1973
1974- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
1975
1976- Change the type of rbuf_max.
1977
1978- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
1979
1980 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
1981
1982- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
1983 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
1984 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
1985
1986 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
1987
1988- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
1989 to be renewed.
1990
1991- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
1992 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
1993
1994- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
1995 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
1996
1997- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
1998 that two permit lists matched.
1999
2000- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
2001 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
2002
2003- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
2004
2005- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
2006 requested it, contrary to the standard.
2007
2008- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
2009
2010- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
2011
2012- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
2013 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
2014 going to update its A record.
2015
2016- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
2017 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
2018 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
2019 DNS server.
2020
2021- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
2022
2023- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
2024
2025- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
2026 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
2027 NetBSD project).
2028
2029- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
2030 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
2031
2032- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
2033 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
2034
2035- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
2036
2037- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
2038
2039- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
2040 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
2041 failover protocol standard.
2042
2043- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
2044 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
2045 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
2046
2047- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
2048 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
2049 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
2050 do so.
2051
2052- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
2053
2054 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
2055
2056- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
2057
2058- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
2059 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
2060
2061- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
2062 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
2063
2064- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
2065 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
2066 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
2067
2068- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
2069 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
2070 network, merge the two pools.
2071
2072- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
2073 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
2074 fix this bug.
2075
2076 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
2077
2078- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
2079 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
2080
2081- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
2082 the same case.
2083
2084- Additional documentation.
2085
2086- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
2087 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
2088
2089 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
2090
2091- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
2092- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
2093
adbef119 2094 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
2095
2096- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
2097 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
2098 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
2099 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
2100 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
2101
adbef119 2102 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
2103
2104- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
2105 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
2106 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
2107 wasn't the one that removed it.
2108
2109- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
2110 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
2111 were not configured.
2112
2113- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
2114
2115- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
2116 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
2117 routing information.
2118
2119- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
2120 request being sent.
2121
2122- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
2123 done.
2124
2125- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
2126 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
2127 were pending.
2128
2129- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
2130 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
2131 problems with failover.
2132
2133- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
2134 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
2135 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
2136
adbef119 2137 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
2138
2139- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
2140 smash in the subclass allocation code.
2141
2142- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
2143 no object is open, it dumps core.
2144
2145- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
2146
2147- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
2148
2149- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
2150
2151- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
2152 a host object attribute with a null value.
2153
2154 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
2155
2156- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
2157
2158- Fix an obscure core dump.
2159
2160- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
2161 when crucial information is left out.
2162
2163- Log "no free leases" as an error.
2164
2165- Documentation updates.
2166
2167 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
2168
2169- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
2170
2171- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
2172 structure wasn't zeroed.
2173
2174- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
2175 incorrectly.
2176
2177- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
2178 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
2179 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
2180 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
2181 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
2182 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
2183 restarted.
2184
2185 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
2186
2187- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
2188 in failover-enabled pools.
2189
2190- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
2191 declarations).
2192
2193- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
2194 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
2195
2196- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
2197 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
2198
2199- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
2200
2201- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
2202 defined but not referenced by any pools.
2203
2204- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
2205
eaf0b302

2210 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2
2211
2212- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
2213

TL
2218 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
2219
2220- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
2221 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
2222 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
2223
2224- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
2225 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
2226 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
2227 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
2228 string.
2229
2230- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
2231
d758ad8c
TL
2232 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
2233
2234- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
2235 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
2236
2237- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
2238 malformed packets.
2239
2240- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
2241
2242- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
2243 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
2244 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
2245
2246- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
2247
2248- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
2249
2250- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
2251
2252- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
2253 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
2254
2255- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
2256 tcp connections from being played back.
2257
2258- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
2259 on exit.
2260
2261- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
2262
2263- Add some configurability to the build system.
2264
2265- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
2266
2267- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
2268 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
2269 hadn't been noticed until now.
2270
2271 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
2272
2273- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
2274 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
2275
2276- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
2277 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
2278 conformant, but also didn't work).
2279
2280- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
2281 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
2282
2283- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
2284 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
2285
2286- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
2287 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
2288
2289- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
2290 variables to leases via OMAPI.
2291
2292- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
2293 doing failover.
2294
2295- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
2296 running on alpha processors.
2297
2298- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
2299 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
2300
2301- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
2302
2303- Install omshell (including new documentation).
2304
2305- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
2306 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
2307
2308- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
2309
2310- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
2311 actually named (key names are domain names).
2312
2313- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
2314
2315- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
2316 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
2317
2318- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
2319 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
2320
2321- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
2322 statements.
2323
2324- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
2325 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
2326
2327- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
2328 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
2329 operating.

2331 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
2332
2333- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
2334 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
2335 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
2336 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
2337
2338- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
2339 using omapi to manipulate leases.
2340
2341- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
2342
2343
2344 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
2345
2346- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
2347 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
2348
2349- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
2350 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
2351 to the chain.
2352
2353- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
2354
2355- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
2356
2357- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
2358
98311e4b 2359- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

2369 DHCPDECLINE.
2370
2371- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
2372
2373- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
2374 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
2375 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
2376
2377- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
2378
2379- Documentation fixes.
2380
2381- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
2382 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
2383
2384- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
2385 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
2386
2387- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
2388
2389- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
2390
2391- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
2392 case-insensitive.
2393
2394- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
2395
98311e4b 2396- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
2397 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
2398 consistently.
2399
2400- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
2401 systems with the probe not working correctly.

2408 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
2409 result of duplicate leases.

2416 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
2417

2419 core dumps.

2422 Friedrich.

2425
2426 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
2427
2428- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
2429 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 2430 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
2431 billing class code.
2432
2433- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
2434 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
2435
2436- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
2437 trace file.

79ea3de8 2439 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 2440
79ea3de8
TL
2441- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
2442 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
2443 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
2444 e.g., Digital Unix.
2445
2446- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
2447 when no error had occurred.
2448
2449- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
2450 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
2451 non-communicating state.
2452
2453- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
2454
2455- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
2456 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
2457 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
2458
2459- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
2460 when the client lease expired.
2461
2462- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
2463 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
2464 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
2465 in testing.
2466
2467- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
2468 the command line, it would fail.
2469
2470- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
2471 user impact).
2472
2473- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
2474
2475- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
2476 they're executable.

2481 ANY SITE AT WHICH FIXED-ADDRESS STATEMENTS ARE BEING USED SHOULD

TL
2488- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
2489 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
2490 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
2491 a new release candidate is expected shortly.
2492
2493- There is a known problem in the DDNS update code that is probably a
2494 bug, and is not, as far as we know, fixed in this patchlevel.

2499 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.

2501- Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation
2502
2503- Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines.
2504

2518 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
2519
2520- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
2521 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
2522 unbill the old class.
2523
2524- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
2525 process the state transition immediately.
2526
2527- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
2528 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
2529
2530- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
2531
2532- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
2533
2534- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
2535
2536- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
2537
2538- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
2539 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
2540 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
2541
2542- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
2543 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
2544
2545- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
2546 lease file.
2547
2548- Don't overwrite tracefiles.
2549
2550- Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover.

2568 pl19.
2569
2570- Actually fix the spin described in the changes for pl20. The
2571 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
2572 past the regression test.

2580 DHCPREQUEST.

2591 (Damien Neil)
2592
2593- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
2594 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
2595
2596- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
2597 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
2598 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
2599
2600- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
2601 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
2602 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
2603 message.
2604
2605- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
2606 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
2607 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
2608
98311e4b 2609- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
2610 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
2611 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
2612 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
2613 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
2614 this way will work.
2615

TL
2616- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
2617
2618- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
2619 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
2620 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
2621 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
2622
2623 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
2624
2625 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
2626
2627- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
2628 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
2629 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
2630
2631- Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by
2632 Hermann Lauer.

2635 messages.

TL
2644- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
2645 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
2646 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
2647 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
2648 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
2649 tracking down memory leaks.
2650
2651- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
2652 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
2653 Solaris.
2654
2655- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
2656 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
2657 corruption and core dumps.
2658
2659- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
2660 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
2661

2663
2664- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
2665 and implemented by Damien Neil.

2668 name and version to standard output.

2705
2706- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
2707 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
2708 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
2709 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
2710 used in class statements to control address allocation.
2711
2712- Fix up documentation.

2718
2719- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

2721- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
2722 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
2723 practical use otherwise.
2724
2725- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful

2734- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
2735 option.
2736
2737- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
2738 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
2739
2740- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
2741 that were not printing enough information.
2742
2743- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
2744 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
2745
2746- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
2747 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
2748 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
2749 were answering.

2761- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
2762 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
2763 representation from working correctly.
2764
2765- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
2766 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
2767 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
2768 could spin.
2769
2770- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
2771 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
2772
2773- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
2774 interface name on the command line.
2775
2776- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
2777 client state.
2778
2779- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
2780 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
2781 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
2782 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
2783 added by Ted Lemon.
2784
2785- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
2786 be made to log debugging information and other information.
2787
2788- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
2789 end option.
2790
2791- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
2792 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
2793 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
2794
2795- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
2796 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
2797 face of a null hardware address on input.
2798
2799- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
2800 specified unqualified.
2801
2802- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
2803 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
2804
2805- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
2806 RFC.
2807
2808- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
2809
2810- Allow administrator to disable ping checking.

2813 it works.

2817- Fix a bug introduced during debugging (!) and accidentally committed
2818 to CVS.

2820 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 9
2821
2822- Fix DHCP client handling of vendor encapsulated options.
2823
2824- Fix a bug in the handling of relay agent information options introduced
2825 in patchlevel 9.
2826
2827- Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
2828 options at renewal time.
2829
2830- Add the ability to test the client's binding state in the client
2831 configuration language.
2832
2833- Fix a core dump in the DNS update code.
2834
2835- Fix some expression evaluation bugs that were causing updates to be
2836 done when no client hostname was received.
2837
2838- Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
2839
2840- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
2841 the DHCP option space.
2842
2843- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
2844
2845- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
2846 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
2847
2848- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
2849 silently dropped.
2850
2851- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
2852 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
2853
2854- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
2855 will be correctly updated.

2857 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 8
2858
2859- Oops, there was another subtle math error in the header-length
2860 bounds-checking.

2863
2864- Oops, forgot to byte-swap udp header length before bounds-checking it.

TL
2868- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
2869 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
2870 possible to exploit it any further than that.
2871
2872- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
2873 option.
2874
2875- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
2876 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
2877 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
2878 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
2879 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
2880 meaningfully.
2881
2882- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
2883 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
2884 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
2885
2886- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
2887 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
2888 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
2889 this one down!
2890
2891- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
2892 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
2893 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking
2894 down and fixing this problem.
2895
2896 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 5
2897
0f6045f8
TL
2898- Fix a bug in the recent enhancement to the interface discovery code
2899 to support arbitrary-length interface lists.
2900
2901- Support NUL-terminated DHCP options when initializing client-script
2902 environment.
2903
2904- Fix suffix operator.
2905
2906- Fix NetWare/IP option parsing.
2907
2908- Better error/status checking in dhcpctl initialization and omapi
2909 connection code.
2910
2911- Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
2912
2913- Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
2914
2915- Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
2916 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
2917
2918- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
2919
2920- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
2921
2922- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
2923 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
2924
2925- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
2926 spawn with.
2927
2928- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
2929 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
2930
2931- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
2932 for OMAPI.
2933
2934- Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI
2935 can install in host declarations.

2937 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4
2938
2939- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
2940 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
2941 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
2942 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
2943 comments)!
2944
2945- Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :')

TL
2947- Fixed SunOS 4 build. Thanks to Robert Elz for responding to my
2948 request for help on this with patches!
2949
2950- Incorporated a change that should fix a problem reported by Philippe
2951 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
2952 lost, they never reconnect.
2953
2954- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
2955 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
2956
2957- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
2958 dump.
2959
2960- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
2961 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
2962 catching this one.
2963

TL
2964 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
2965
2966- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 2967 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
2968 lease renewal time.
2969
2970- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
2971 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
2972 declared without a key.
2973
2974- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
2975
2976- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
2977 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
2978
2979- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
2980 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
2981 determine the maximum size of the response.

2988- Fix a case where the DHCP server might inappropriately NAK a
2989 RENEWING client.
2990
2991- Fix a place dhcprequest() where static leases could leak.
2992
2993- Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about
2994 using memcmp().

2996 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 1
2997
2998- Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
2999 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
3000 pointing this out.
3001
3002- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
3003 exit.
3004
3005- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
3006
3007- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
3008 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
