A list of the changes in this release has been appended to the end

In order to use libraries from BIND, the ISC DHCP 4.2 distribution
contains an entire copy of the BIND source tree.  ISC is aware of
an issue with the included version of BIND that may affect customers
using mixed-case zone data if they have clients that do not conform
to standard DNS query practices.  However, the functions used by the
DHCP server are not affected by these potential issues.  Some customers
may choose to build BIND from the source included with DHCP for use as
a nameserver.  If you intend to do so, please review
    https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01113 for
more info on the case compression issue.

  [ISC-Bugs #33428]

  Thanks to Paolo Pellegrino for finding the issue and a suggestion
  for the patch.
  [ISC-Bugs #33351]

  for the sockets to be cleaned.  This should allow the -r option
  to work more consistently.
  [ISC-Bugs #18175]

  the release tarballs. To generate this documentation, please use
  make devel command in doc directory. [ISC-Bugs #32767]

  [ISC-Bugs #29843]

- Fix the socket handling for DHCPv6 clients to allow multiple instances
  of a client on a single machine to work properly.  Previously only
  one client would receive the packets.  Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
  for the bug report and a potential patch.
  [ISC-Bugs #34784]

- Added support for gentle shutdown after signal is received.
  [ISC-Bugs #32692] [ISC-Bugs 34945]

- Enhance the DHCPv6 server logging to include the addresses that are assigned
  to the clients.  This can be enabled by defining LOG_V6_ADDRESSES in site.h.
  [ISC-Bugs #26377]

- Fix an operation in the DDNS code to be a bitwise instead of logical or.
  [ISC-Bugs #35138]
