ISC DHCP 3.1.0b2 is now available.

This is the second beta release of DHCP 3.1.0.  This is a feature
release, containing several major new features compared to DHCP 3.0.x,
including:

	- Failover protocol 'MAC Address Affinity' to reduce pool churn.
	- Support for the 'reserved' and 'bootp' failover flags, which
	  means in lay terms that static allocations can be made to
	  clients in which 'on events' can be supported.
	- Several other failover optimizations and changes.
	- Management of class and subclass statements via OMAPI.
	- Many new configuration statement functions.
	- Initial formal support for VIVCO/VIVSO options.

A list of changes in this release has been appended to this message.  For

			Changes since 3.1.0b1

- Added -x option to dhclient, which triggers dhclient processes
  to exit gracefully without releasing leases first.

- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
  objects.

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

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

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

- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
  caused the server to abort.

- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
  which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
  records.  Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
  by empty spaces would not get included.

- Corrected one situation where the column index variable might be
  used without being initialized, in expression-printing.

- Silenced several other compiler warnings.

- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
  lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.

- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired.  This fixes a flaw
  wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.

- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
  the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.

- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
  on the parameter request list.
