Release Notes
when you try to use it. Pointing out inconsistencies between the
documentation and the source code will always be appreciated.
+ Changes since March 30, 1999
+
+- Install unformatted manual pages on Linux
+
+- SGI Irix support
+
+- Generalize option support and add parser support for defining new
+ option spaces.
+
+- Support for generating vendor-encapsulated-options option from
+ user-specified option space, rather than having to encode it as
+ hex.
+
+- Fix hash table code to do the right thing with nul-terminated
+ strings - before they'd all get hashed into the same bucket.
+
+- Fix a parser bug caused by dereferencing an uninitialized variable
+ that prevented the parser from working correctly on some systems but
+ allowed it to work on others.
+
+- Document how to define new options, as well as how to set up
+ vendor-encapsulated-options option.
+
+- When responding to bootp clients, use the subnet mask from the
+ subnet declaration as we do for DHCP clients if no explicit subnet
+ mask option was defined.
+
+- Add always-send-rfc1048 option to force the server to send
+ rfc1048-style options (what everybody uses now) even if the client
+ doesn't send the right magic cookie.
+
+- Fix some bugs in class support that became obvious when I tried to
+ use the vendor-encapsulated-option support in a reasonable way.
+
+- Fix some memory leaks.
