                        Changes since 4.1.1b1


- Remove infinite loop in token_print_indent_concat().

- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed.  This would
  leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
  and in normal state.

- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
  DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.

- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with
  DHCPv6.

- Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument
  to be double-quoted.  Also allow server-provided hostname to
  override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
  Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy at marples.name>.

- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to
  reconnect rather than restarting the listener.


- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
  been repaired.  Other USE_ overrides should work better.

- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else'
  condition, that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but
  wouldn't use a larger defined value provided by the host OS).


- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not
  result in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not
  negotiated a failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch
  socket connect() timeouts).

- A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be
  parsed in failover state records.

! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
  remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
  or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
  option.  CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692

- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is
  now supported.  Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups
  only the last option definition is used.

- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between
  a failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
  secondary.  Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.

- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
  Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.

- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
  they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
  released through the primary.  As part of the same fix, stale binding
  scopes will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active
  client is detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have
  expired (which it may have expired without a failover server noticing
  in some situations).

- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
  invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
  Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
  that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.

- Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records
  configured, one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'.
