Kea users:

Internet Systems Consortium is pleased to announce the release of Kea 2.7.8. Releases in the Kea 2.7.x sequence are part of the Kea development branch, where new features are provided for testing and evaluation before the branch is designated stable and recommended for production use. 

There are two stable branches of Kea, suitable for production use: Kea 2.6.2 and Kea 2.4.1. Kea 2.4 is approaching EOL, with the release of Kea 3.0 expected in June 2025.

Release notes for the new development version are available at https://downloads.isc.org/isc/kea/2.7.8/Kea-2.7.8-ReleaseNotes.txt.

Source tarballs and packages are available from our Cloudsmith repositories at https://cloudsmith.io/~isc/repos/kea-2-6/groups/ for the stable version and https://cloudsmith.io/~isc/repos/kea-dev/packages/ for the development version. Both releases are also available from the ISC download page at https://www.isc.org/download/#Kea.

Thank you for using ISC’s software!
