What's new in Dibbler 0.8.1 RC 1
Aug 18, 2012
- Support for routing configuration was added. Yes, you read that correctly. Recent draft draft-ietf-mif-dhcpv6-route-option defines provisioning mechanism that delivers routing information over DHCPv6. Although this implementation is not entirely complete (there are certain limitations, see User's Guide), it isvery usable. This feature was tested with excellent ISC DHCP implementation and is interoperable. You may want to read Routing configuration over DHCPv6 for additional information.
- Script support is rewritten. Client can call a script every time it receives a message and pass all received options as environment variables. That is very convenient way to extend client with custom actions. This feature is going to be further expanded in upcoming releases.
- Server is now able to run scripts, too. That is convenient if you need your server to execute custom actions. One notable example is a routing reconfiguration after prefix was delegated to a client.
- Added support for FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. Mac OS X support is now also significantly improved. To achieve this level of portability, build system was completely rewritten and is now using automake and autoconf tools. You can now use ./configure script to enable or disable various parameters. Makefile modification is no longer necessary.
- DNS Update can now be performed over UDP, TCP or both (try over UDP and if it fails, try TCP). Configurable timeout for DNS Updates added.
- Significant update in prefix delegation support. Server will now remember previously assigned prefixes and will try to assign the same prefix to returning client.
- Support for DS-Lite tunnels configuration added (RFC6334)
- Rather large User's Guide documentation update
- Fixed mis-aligned memory reads on ARMv5 architecture
- Added support for unittests using googletests. Number of tests is small now, but is expected to grow.
