- what kernel version you're running, and it helps if you can

Release Notes
NEW FEATURES
-ISC DHCP 4.1.x includes several new DHCPv6 features that were not included
-in DHCP 4.0.x. These include:
-
-- Support for the rapid-commit option on the client side
-
-- Prefix Delegation support
-
-- IA_TA address support
-
-- A basic DHCPv6 relay agent
-
-- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support
+ISC DHCP 4.2.x includes features that were not included in DHCP 4.1.x.
+These include:
There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
release, which will be addressed in the future:
- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
-- Only a single address is supported per IA.
-
-- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages. These
- should be configurable, and probably localized via gettext() or the
- like.
+- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages, in
+ English. A method to reconfigure or support other languages would
+ be preferrable.
- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.

Changes since 4.1.0 (bug fixes)
- Validate the argument to the -p option.
(which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
- Changes since 4.1.0b1
+ Changes since 4.1.0b1
- A missing "else" in dhcrelay.c could have caused an interface not to
be recognized.
- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
- Changes since 3.0.1rc2
+ Changes since 3.0.1rc2
- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
- Changes since 3.0.1rc1
+ Changes since 3.0.1rc1
- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
- Changes since 3.0

- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
smash in the subclass allocation code.
- Support GCC on SCO.
- Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 23
+ Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 23
- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
- Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover.

- Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 20
+ Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 20
- Fix a problem with Linux detecting large numbers of interfaces (Ben)
previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
past the regression test.
- Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 19
+ Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 19
- Fix a bug that could cause the server to abort if compiled with
POINTER_DEBUG enabled.
- Install unformatted man pages on SunOS.

- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the

for debugging.
