We’ve added three command line parameters to dhclient: The server now honors update-static-leases parameter for static DHCPv6 hosts. We added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS conflict resolution:ĭdns-dual-stack-mixed-mode – alters DNS conflict resolution behavior to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual-stack environments.ĭdns-guard-id-must-match – relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching requirement of DNS conflict resolution.ĭdns-other-guard-is-dynamic – alters dual-stack mixed-mode behavior to allow unguarded DNS entries to be overwritten in certain cases. Please see to read the MPL 2.0 license terms. With this branch, we have changed the open source license for ISC DHCP to the Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0. Most of these we have been “saving up” because they are the sort of changes we can only make in a new branch. There are four major changes in the 4.4.0 branch. We recommend reading the release notes carefully. There are some changes to existing behavior in this version that may not be entirely backwards-compatible. We will continue to maintain the older 4.1 branch along with the new 4.4 version, because the 4.1 branch has a much smaller footprint, required for some applications. We will be ending support for the 4.3 branch in July 2018, after allowing 6 months for users to migrate to 4.4.0. That version was designated as an Extended Support Version, and we have now supported it for four years, as promised. We released ISC DHCP 4.3.0 in February, 2014. The 4.4 branch will be supported indefinitely – as long as there is enough financial support from the user community to cover the costs of ongoing maintenance. ISC DHCP 4.4.x is the last major branch of ISC DHCP that we expect to produce.

We appreciate these community contributions and have tried to list them all in the release notes. Many users, packagers and OEM developers have already contributed bug reports, patches, and suggestions for this release. The final 4.4.0 version will be posted in about a month, depending on the results of beta testing. Please download the 4.4.0 beta version and report the results of your testing to dhcp-bugs at isc dot org. We rely on the user community for field testing.

“If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything is ready, we shall never begin.”
