Hello everyone,

Better late than never.  I finally found some time to work on the 
kea-quick-config.

A new release (0.3) of kea-quick-config is now available.  Here are the 
changes in this version:

- Advanced the version number and prepared relnotes for 0.3 release.
   [#48]
- Added Authoritative flag to Global Settings area so that authoritative
   mode may be toggled.
   [#47]
- Added favicon.ico and images/kea-imageonly-64x64.png for use by modern
   browsers as an icon to show with bookmarks and tabs.
   [#49]
- Added support for global option-data content.  This includes some
   standard options that I thought might be used frequently.  Nothing to 
stop
   someone from adding more options or even custom options to the
   resulting basic configuration.  The previous Basic Options Configuration
   has been removed.  This was a list of hard coded options.  This new
   framework for standard DHCPv4 options can be extended to include more
   options with little effort.  Additionally, this framework can be
   leveraged in the future to include option-data sections in classes,
   reservations, and subnets.
   [#16]
- The above global option-data framework has been leveraged to add
   option-data sections to Reservations configuration.
   [#52]
- Added support for client classification.  This is only a basic
   implementation.  It does not support much of what is possible when
   testing for membership in a class.  It supports only a limited subset
   by a select box.  It should, however, cover most common use cases for
   classification.
   [#14] [#50] [#51] [#53]
- Added support for host reservations.  This should make possible most
   things that Kea supports in regards to host reservations at the global
   level.  Setting options inside host reservations.  Finally, adding
   clients to classes in host reservations.
   [#15]
- In the spirit of simple software, "Pool client-class" and "Add Subnet
   Option" were removed from the Subnet configuration area.  The interface
   was becoming cluttered.  Perhaps this can be revisited in the future.
   [#66]
