[Kea-users] New Project: Kea Quick Config

[Darren Ankney]

A new release (0.5) of kea-quick-config is now available.  Here are the
changes in this version:

- Advanced the version number and prepared relnotes for 0.5 release.
   [#71]
- Completed conversion of validation from PHP to javascript This is
   in preparation for the removal of PHP dependence from the project
   [#72]
- Completed conversion of JSON configuration output to javascript.
   This is in preparation for the removal of PHP dependence from the
   project.
   [#74]
- PHP has been removed from the project.  The application may now
   be loaded directly from a file in a web browser using file://
   method.
   [#10]
- Browsers were not properly displaying the page to some degree
   and some div sizing methods didn't work.  Firefox gave a warning
   about "quirks" mode.  This has all been resolved.  There may be
   some slight differences in the layout as a consequence.
   [#82]
- Due to changes in Kea 2.4.2, 2.6.3, and 3.0.0, it is no longer
   necessary or even advisable to provide a path to various files
   (such as: socket, lease, and hooks).  This utility no longer
   accepts `/` in the file names provided.  Additionally, the hook
   configuration no longer accepts a path.
   [#77]
- The "Loggers Configuration" section has been changed to output
   a simpler configuration.  Due to changes in Kea 2.4.2, 2.6.3 and
   3.0.0, the "Log Directory" was no longer needed. A select box
   allows selection of logging output to stdout, syslog, or a file.
   The file will simply be "kea-dhcp4.log" in Kea's default logging
   directory.  A checkbox for DEBUG was added that sets debug
   logging at level 99.
   [#78]
- A checkbox was added to "Loggers Configuration" that causes
   Kea to set lease reclamation values to 65535 thus quieting
   the lease reclamation logs.  This should not be used except
   during testing and with DEBUG logging checked as it does alter
   the timing of an important function in Kea.
   [#84]
- As of Kea 3.0.0, there are more hooks in the open source space.
   The hooks that are available to select in this software have
   two criteria:
   * Do not require further configuration (except HA).
   * Are open source.
   The additional hooks available in Kea 3.0.0 open source are now
   available for selection in "Hooks Configuration".
