ISC DHCP 4.1.1b1 is now available for download.  4.1.1 represents a
maintenance release, fixing bugs found in versions 4.1.0 and prior,
but adding no new features.

This is the first BETA release, primarily to provide a resolution
for IPv4 DHCP users running Solaris (correcting a DLPI interface
bug that causes dhcpd to stop receiving packets).  Many other minor
flaws have been corrected in this release.

This release has several minor known flaws that will be resolved in
further beta releases.  Among them of note it is known that the
server leaks a small amount of memory in failover configurations.
This and other flaws will be resolved as the release progresses.

A list of the changes in this release has been appended to the end
of this message.  For a complete list of changes from any previous
release, please consult the RELNOTES file within the source
distribution, or on our website:

			Changes since 4.1.0

- Validate the argument to the -p option.

- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
  which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
  It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
  (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway).  It also
  carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
  and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
  had been deleted from configuration.

- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir

- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3.  This included two sets of changes.
  The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
  AC_USE_SYSTME_EXTENSIONS.  The second is to deal with return values that
  were being ignored.

- The db-time-format option was documented in manpages.

- Using reserved leases no longer results in 'lease with binding state
  free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
  Nordahl.

- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
  the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
  one of either of those).  This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
  would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
  dhcpv6 disabled.

- Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to
  patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
  result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').

- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
  to stop receiving packets is fixed.  The same fix also means that the MAC
  address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.

- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
  call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
  and use more system calls than required.  This has been repaired - the
  sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
  fewer system calls.
