ChangeLog

2036.	[build]		andrei
	Added a tool that checks if there are any missing REST commands
	from the API Reference section of the ARM.
	See tools/check-for-missing-api-commands.sh.
	It has been integrated into Gitlab CI and runs on every push.
	(Gitlab #2379)

2035.	[doc]		Daniel Bjors
	The developer's guide now correctly uses the Lease4CollectionPtr
	and Lease6CollectionPtr types. Thanks to Daniel Bjors for
	reporting this typo.
	(Gitlab #2447)

2034.	[func]		andrei
	The PostgreSQL schema has been changed to provide initial support
	for the lease limiting feature, part of the limits hook library.
	(Gitlab #2445)

2033.	[func]		tmark
	Functionality needed to support the lease limiting feature of
	of the limits hook library has been added Memfile_LeaseMgr.
	(Gitlab #2436)

Kea 2.1.7 (development) released on June 29, 2022

2032.	[build]         razvan
	The library version numbers have been bumped for the Kea 2.1.7
	development release.
	(Gitlab #2455)

2031.	[func]		fdupont
	Improved compatibility with OpenSSL 3.0.x, in particular
	recover system error messages.
	(Gitlab #1614)

2030.	[doc]		fdupont, tomek
	GSS-TSIG examples updated. The recommendation to not use
	client-keytab and credentials-cache at the same time added.
	(Gitlab #2247)

2029.	[bug]		fdupont
	The check of the subnet id in configuration is stricter:
	values outside the 0..4294967295 are rejected. Note that
	the value 0 means to leave Kea to assign itself the id.
	(Gitlab #2086)

2028.	[build]		orbea, fdupont
	Compatibility with LibreSSL 3.5.2 improved.
	(Github #121, Gitlab #2411)

2027.	[func]		fdupont
	The TLS is now supported with Multi-Threaded HA (HA+MT) scenario.
	Additional parameters (trust-anchor, cert-file, key-file,
	require-client-certs) are now supported in the HA configuration.
	(Gitlab #1706)

2026.	[func]		andrei
	The MySQL schema has been changed to provide initial support for
	the lease limiting feature, part of the limits hook library.
	(Gitlab #2438)

2025.	[bug]		tmark
	Added missing support for client-class user-context to
	both MySQL and PostgreSQL CB hook libraries.
	(Gitlab #2430)

2024.	[func]		djt
	The ALLOC_ENGINE_V4_ALLOC_FAIL_SUBNET log message format has been
	slightly modified, so that when it is emitted for a subnet that
	is not within a shared network, it emits "(none)" for the value
	of the shared network. The ARM documentation for this parameter
	has been updated to reflect that subnets within shared networks
	will in fact display which shared network the subnet belongs to.
	The ALLOC_ENGINE_V6_ALLOC_FAIL_SUBNET log message format has
	changed to be consistent with the format of
	ALLOC_ENGINE_V4_ALLOC_FAIL_SUBNET.
	(Gitlab #2395)

2023.	[bug]		tmark
	Corrected a MySQL CB issue that caused subnets to be
	updated without having audit entries created when the
	affiliated shared-network is deleted.  This can cause
	the subnets to be excluded from subsequent CB refresh
	cycles.
	(Gitlab #2299)

Kea 2.1.6 (development) released on May 25 2022

2022.	[func]		andrei, djt
	kea-admin lease-upload now calls the lease file cleanup (LFC)
	process to clean up entries with duplicate addresses in the input
	CSV file, to avoid a conflict error when inserting the leases in
	the database. kea-admin also no longer asks for input on
	non-interactive shells. A new -y|--yes flag has been added that
	enables automatic overwriting of any file that kea-admin writes
	to, when dumping or uploading leases.
	(Gitlab #2293)

2021.	[build]		razvan
	The library version numbers have been bumped for the Kea 2.1.6
	development release.
	(Gitlab #2421)

2020.	[doc]		andrei
	The rate-limiting feature of the new limits hook library has been
	documented. It can apply a specified limit of a certain number of
	packets per time unit to a given client class or subnet.
	(Gitlab #562, #1650)

2019.	[func]		tmark
	A new built-in class, "SKIP_DDNS", was added, which can be used
	in conjunction with the ddns-tuning hook library to skip
	performing DDNS updates for a given client.
	(Gitlab #2354)

2018.	[func]		razvan
	The kea-dhcp4 server now supports portions of RFC 3396, allowing
	it to send and receive DHCP options longer than 255 bytes.
	(Gitlab #2227)

2017.	[bug]		marcin
	A bug in the allocation engine, which caused it to write an
	allocated lease under the wrong subnet ID within a shared
	network, has been corrected. This was occurring when multiple
	clients matched the same fixed address reservation. The first
	client is now assigned the fixed address, while a subsequent
	client is then given a dynamically allocated address from a
	different subnet in the shared network.
	(Gitlab #2409)

2016.	[doc]		fdupont
	Documentation for the role-based access control (RBAC)
	premium hook library was added to the ARM.
	(Gitlab #1263)

Kea 2.1.5 (development) released on Apr 27, 2022

2015.	[bug]		tmark
	Fixed an issue in kea-dhcp6 that was causing the server
	not to update the FQDN option in outbound responses when
	the ddns-tuning hook lib calculates a new host name.
	(Gitlab #2392)

2014.	[bug]		tmark
	Correct an issue that was causing reconfigure to fail
	in kea-dhcp4 and kea-dhcp6 when using ddns-tuning hook
	library.
	(Gitlab #2390)

2013.	[build]		razvan
	Library version numbers bumped for Kea 2.1.5 development
	version.
	(Gitlab #2385)

2012.	[doc]		andrei
	Documented whether it's OK or not to have overlapping pools,
	including PD pools in IPv6.
	(Gitlab #1842)

2011.	[func]		djt
	Added CTRL_AGENT_COMMAND_RECEIVED log line with command and
	source address to the kea-ctrl-agent for commands which
	are not forwarded on to another daemon. Added client
	remote-address to CTRL_AGENT_COMMAND_FORWARDED log message if
	it is available.
	(Gitlab #687)

2010.	[func]		razvan
	Several extra log messages now detail the subnet selection
	process. The messages are available on debuglevel 40.
	(Gitlab #2352)

2009.	[func]		tmark
	Added new hook callout points: ddns4_update to Kea DHCPv4
	server and ddns6_update to Kea DHCPv6 server. This enables
	use of the ddns-tuning hook library.
	(Gitlab #1548)

2008.	[func]*		tomek
	The support for benchmarks have been removed.
	(Gitlab #2372)

2007.	[func]		tmark
	Added split() function to classification expression
	language.
	(GitLab #2272)

2006.	[func]		slawek
	Added ``service-sockets-require-all`` parameter to specify
	mandatory successfully binding all needed service sockets to
	initialize DHCP services (defaults to false). If any socket is
	unavailable, then the service fails to start. Added
	``service-sockets-max-retries`` parameter (defaults to 0) to
	specify the number of retries to open unavailable sockets and
	``service-sockets-retry-wait-time`` parameter to specify a time
	interval to wait between attempts.
	(Gitlab #1716)

2005.	[func]*		razvan
	The support for Cassandra database backend has been removed.
	(Gitlab #2116)

Kea 2.1.4 (development) released on March 30, 2022

2004.	[build]		razvan
	Library version numbers bumped for Kea 2.1.4 development
	version.
	(Gitlab #2363)

2003.	[func]		fdupont
	Added the support of sub-options in the flex_option
	hook library.
	(GitLab #2314)

2002.	[bug]		tmark
	Fixed a bug in MySql config backend that caused it to
	store unspecified, client-class valid and preferred life
	time values as zero in the database.
	(Gitlab #2344)

2001.	[bug]		razvan
	Fixed a bug which causes client classes with empty test
	expressions to fail class evaluation when those classes are
	retrieved from config backend.
	(Gitlab #2336)

2000.	[func]		fdupont
	Added the ``early-global-reservations-lookup`` configuration
	parameter which allows to perform a search for global host
	reservations and set client classes before the subnet
	selection. This is achieved when explicitly configured to
	``true`` and it defaults to ``false`` if not configured.
	(Gitlab #2249)

1999.	[func]		tmark, razvan
	The kea-dhcp6 server fully supports using PostgreSQL for config
	backend. This should be considered an experimental feature.
	(Gitlab #2355, #2356)

1998.	[func]		tmark, razvan
	With the addition of support for client classes, the kea-dhcp4
	server now fully supports using PostgreSQL for config backend.
	(Gitlab #2322)

1997.	[bug]		tmark
	The obsolete log message, DHCP4_NCR_CREATE, has been
	removed from kea-dhcp4.
	(GitLab #2301)

Kea 2.1.3 (development) released on Feb 23, 2022

1996.	[build]		razvan
	Library version numbers bumped for Kea 2.1.3 development
	version.
	(Gitlab #2317)

1995.	[func]		tmark
	kea-dhcp4 now supports using PostgreSQL for config
	backend for everything except client classes. The
	new hook library is libdhcp_pgsql_cb.so. This should
	be considered an experimental feature.
	(Gitlab #95)

1994.	[func]		razvan
	Added support for Server Identifier Override RAI sub-option
	(RFC 5107). The implementation is not complete according to the
	RFC, because the server does not store the RAI, but the
	functionality handles expected use cases.
	(Gitlab #1695)

1993.	[func]		razvan
	Added global and per subnet counters for allocation failures:
	``v4-allocation-fail``, ``v4-allocation-fail-shared-network``,
	``v4-allocation-fail-subnet``, ``v4-allocation-fail-no-pools``,
	``v4-allocation-fail-classes``, ``subnet[X].v4-allocation-fail``,
	``subnet[X].v4-allocation-fail-shared-network``,
	``subnet[X].v4-allocation-fail-subnet``,
	``subnet[X].v4-allocation-fail-no-pools``,
	``subnet[X].v4-allocation-fail-classes``,
	``v6-allocation-fail``, ``v6-allocation-fail-shared-network``,
	``v6-allocation-fail-subnet``, ``v6-allocation-fail-no-pools``,
	``v6-allocation-fail-classes``, ``subnet[X].v6-allocation-fail``,
	``subnet[X].v6-allocation-fail-shared-network``,
	``subnet[X].v6-allocation-fail-subnet``,
	``subnet[X].v6-allocation-fail-no-pools``,
	``subnet[X].v6-allocation-fail-classes``.
	There is a warning log message emitted in the logs each time one
	of the allocation failure counters is incremented.
	(Gitlab #2054)

1992.	[bug]		razvan
	The ``maxver`` and ``maxsize`` logger parameters are excluded
	from ``config-get`` command response if the logger output is
	``stdout``, ``stderr`` or ``syslog``.
	(Gitlab #2288)

1991.	[bug]		jinmei, razvan
	Fixed keactrl exit code when netconf is not build.
	(Gitlab #2262)

1990.	[func]		razvan
	Added the ``reservations-lookup-first`` configuration parameter
	which controls whether host reservations lookup should be
	performed before lease lookup. This parameter has effect only
	when multi-threading is disabled. When multi-threading is
	enabled, host reservations lookup is always performed first. The
	``reservations-lookup-first`` parameter defaults to ``false``
	when multi-threading is disabled.
	(Gitlab #2036)

Kea 2.1.2 (development) released on Jan 26, 2022

1989.	[build]		razvan
	Library version numbers bumped for Kea 2.1.2 development
	version.
	(Gitlab #2281)

1988.	[bug]		tmark
	Kea core logic now ensures options belonging
	to client classes are properly created when
	classes are read from configuration backends.
	(Gitlab #2246)

1987.	[bug]		tmark
	Fixed an issue in PostgreSQL support code that caused
	asserts when compiled with: -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS.
	(Gitlab #2284)

1986.	[func]		fdupont
	The kea-admin command now accepts extra arguments which
	are passed to the database command tool, e.g. '--ssl' to
	'mysql' with `kea-admin ... -x --ssl'. Quotes are not
	preserved but multiple arguments can be given.
	(Gitlab #2225)

1985.	[func]		fdupont
	Added support for using files to configure basic HTTP
	credentials. Instead of configuring a value, it is taken from
	the content of a file. The new parameters of the Control Agent
	configuration are:
	- 'user-file' pointing to a file vs 'user'
	- 'password-file' pointing to a file vs 'password'
	- 'password-file' pointing to a file with the secret
	(which is <user>:<password>) vs 'user' and 'password'.
	For the High Availability hook library the new parameter
	is 'basic-auth-password-file' which can be used as an
	alternative to 'basic-auth-password'.
	(Gitlab #2006)

1984.	[func]		andrei
	Introduced the lease-upload command to kea-admin which can upload
	leases from a memfile CSV file to a database backend.
	(Gitlab #2039)

1983.	[bug]		fdupont
	Minimum and maximum values of lifetimes are no longer
	skipped when the configuration is retrieved even when
	they are the same as the default value.
	(Gitlab #2222)

1982.	[bug]		andrei
	The config for an HA peer now accepts an IPv6 address as a valid
	value for the "url" entry.
	(Gitlab #2264)

1981.	[func]		tomek
	The default-url DHCPv4 option has been replaced with
	v4-captive-portal, as defined in RFC8910.
	(Gitlab #1684)

1980.	[func]*		andrei
	The kea-admin lease-dump command now outputs a CSV file that is
	compatible with the memfile backend. This is useful when
	migrating from database to memfile. The generated output is
	backwards incompatible. Any tools that depend on it would need
	to adapt.
	(Gitlab #2038)

1979.	[bug]		fdupont
	Update and delete operations on leases no longer raise
	an error with infinite valid lifetime (used by BOOTP)
	and MySQL or PostgreSQL backends where timestamps can
	be limited to 32 bits.
	(Gitlab 897)

1978.	[doc]		tomek
	The Kea Administrator Reference Manual now correctly states that
	DHCPv6 authentication option has code 11, not 10.
	(Gitlab #2207)

1977.	[bug]		razvan
	Use only MAX_HWADDR_LEN (20) bytes from remote-id when extracting
	the MAC from relay options.
	(Gitlab #2201)

1976.	[func]		andrei
	Added hwtype and hwaddr_source columns to v6 memfile.
	(Gitlab #2236)

1975.	[func]		tmark
	Additional changes and corrections relating to Config Backend
	were made to the PostgreSQL database schema.  In addition, the
	upgrade scripts were renamed to ensure proper file name ordering.
	Note that PostgreSQL CB is not yet functional.
	(Gitlab #2183, #2244, #2245)

1974.	[func]		fdupont
	The global parameter lookup has been refactored to provide better
	performance. Proper return error code (CONTROL_RESULT_ERROR) has
	been fixed in some cases when trying to apply the new
	configuration. Old code was using wrong hardcoded '2' value
	(CONTROL_RESULT_COMMAND_UNSUPPORTED).
	(Gitlab #1082)

1973.	[func]		fdupont
	MySQL backends now can be configured to use the SSL/TLS
	support to protect connections to the server. New
	database parameters are "cert-file", "key-file",
	"trust-anchor" and "cipher-list". The negotiated cipher
	name is logged so the MySQL service configuration can
	be checked. PostgreSQL accepts the same parameters
	but they only trigger the call to the OpenSSL generic
	initialization in the Pq C-API.
	(Gitlab #34)

1972.	[func]		andrei
	Kea servers now can accept trailing commas in file
	configurations. While parsing, a warning is printed with the
	location of the comma to give the user the ability to correct
	a mistake.
	(Gitlab #2084)

1971.	[func]		tmark, jad
	Added support for embedded DHCPv6 DUIDs within DHCPv4
	Client Identifier options per RFC 4361.  This allows
	Kea to support DDNS in dual stack environments per
	RFC 4703(Sec 5.2). Thanks to John Dickinson for
	contributing the patch!
	(Gitlab #1934)

Kea 2.1.1 (development) released on Nov 24, 2021

1970.	[build]		razvan
	Library version numbers bumped for Kea 2.1.1 development
	version.
	(Gitlab #2195)

1969.	[build]		andrei
	Fixed "make check -j N" running tests in parallel in src/lib/log.
	(Gitlab #2172)

1968.	[build]		andrei
	Fixed make check failing when googletest support was disabled.
	(Gitlab #2167)

1967.	[bug]		andrei
	Fixed a bug where keactrl did not color the active status code
	for kea-dhcp-ddns as it did for the other servers.
	(Gitlab #2117)

1966.	[func]		djt
	Allow Kea to pack opaque data tuples within options with zero
	length to accommodate some DHCP clients who have been observed
	to send DHCPv4 option 124 with zero length tuples.
	(Gitlab #2021)

1965.	[func]		andrei
	Increase the value that "maxsize" can take from 2GB to 2PB.
	(Gitlab #2130)

1964.	[func]		wlodek
	Added support for Debian 11 in hammer.py.
	(Gitlab #2042, #2193)

1963.	[func]		andrei
	hammer.py has had several improvements.
	NETCONF and PostgreSQL will be properly configured when running
	prepare-system on Fedora and FreeBSD.
	vagrant will be automatically upgraded if it is too outdated.
	Error messages are more clear when running on unsupported
	systems.
	hammer.py is now able to detect Arch Linux distributions and
	offers limited support for it, being able to prepare-system with
	freeradius and netconf support.
	(Gitlab #2111, #2112)

1962.	[func]		andrei
	kea-netconf updates: fixed store-extended-info, it was an
	operational node instead of a config node. Added several
	containers and leaves: compatibility, lenient-option-parsing,
	multi-threading, enable-multi-threading, packet-queue-size,
	thread-pool-size, valid-lifetime, min-valid-lifetime,
	max-valid-lifetime, preferred-lifetime, min-preferred-lifetime,
	max-preferred-lifetime, cache-max-age, cache-threshold,
	ddns-generated-prefix, ddns-override-client-update,
	ddns-override-no-update, ddns-qualifying-suffix,
	ddns-replace-client-name, ddns-send-updates,
	ddns-update-on-renew, ddns-use-conflict-resolution,
	ip-reservations-unique, parked-packet-limit, reservations-global,
	reservations-in-subnet, reservations-out-of-pool,
	statistic-default-sample-age, statistic-default-sample-count,
	store-extended-info, on-fail.
	(Gitlab #2136)

1961.	[func]		tomek, tmark
	The initial, stubbed version of the PostgreSQL CB hook
	library has been created.  The library is not yet functional
	and does not installed.

1960.	[build]		andrei
	Froze sphinx dependency versions used to build documentation.
	Added the update-python-dependencies Makefile rule to bump the
	versions.
	(Gitlab #2161)

1959.	[doc]		djt
	Move documentation for acceptable format strings into the Kea
	ARM. The relevant section of the ARM was previously referring
	to a dead link in the Log4cpp documentation.
	(Gitlab #2134)

1958.	[func]		tomek, tmark
	PostgreSQL database schema has been extended with tables for
	Config Backend (CB). This is the first step towards PostgreSQL
	CB. However, as there is no code yet to use those new tables,
	they're not not functional yet.
	(Gitlab #90, #2166)

Kea 2.1.0 (development) released on Oct 27, 2021

1957.	[build]		razvan
	Library version numbers bumped for Kea 2.1.0 development
	version.
	(Gitlab #2141)

1956.	[bug]		tmark
	Modified stat_cmds hook library to omit statistics
	for non-existent subnets from results returned by
	stat-lease4-get and stat-lease6-get commands.
	(Gitlab #2033)

1955.	[bug]		tmark
	kea-dhcp4 no longer sends DHCPNAKs in response to
	DHCPREQUESTs for addresses for which it has no knowledge.
	(Gitlab #1584)

1954.	[doc]		fdupont
	Updated the Developer's Guide to explain what to do when
	GSS-TSIG hook unit tests fail from a system Kerberos
	incompatible configuration.
	(Gitlab #2056)

1952.	[build]		razvan
	Library version numbers bumped for Kea 2.0.0 stable version.
	(Gitlab #2104)

1951.	[doc]		tomek
	A new appendix for configuration templates added to Kea ARM.
	the first of which is a home power user.
	(Gitlab #2050)

1950.	[doc]		slawek
	Added a description and an example of the usage of the "include"
	statement in the Kea configuration file to the ARM.
	(Gitalb #2080)

1949.	[bug]		tmark
	kea-dhcp6 now correctly determines DNS update flags when
	the allocation engine dynamically changes the selected
	network subnet.
	(Gitlab #1622)

1948.	[func]		tmark
	HTTP library will now emit a warning log when the queue of
	pending client requests for a given URL exceeds a threshold.
	(Gitlab #2085)

1947.	[bug]		marcin
	Corrected a bug in the High Availablity hooks library that could
	cause a standby server not to synchronize its lease database
	after a temporary communication interruption with its partner.
	(Gitlab #1959)

1946.	[bug]		marcin
	Fixes a bug in MySQL configuration backend schema. DHCP options
	associated with deleted client classes are now automatically
	deleted.
	(Gitlab #2094)

1945.	[build]		andrei
	Reverted qa#261 changes, which forced linking with OpenSSL 1.1
	when available. This caused a segfault, when Kea's crypto library
	used OpenSSL 1.1, but the MySQL library it linked against, used
	OpenSSL 1.0.
	(Gitlab #2081)

1944.	[bug]		tmark
	kea-dhcp4 and kea-dhcp6 both now support a global parameter,
	parked-packet-limit, that can be used to limit the number
	of client responses the server may park pending completion
	of hook library callouts.
	(Gitlab #1307)

1943.	[bug]		marcin
	Fixed a bug in fetching client classes from the Config Backend.
	The bug resulted in failures during attempts to evaluate the
	classes for a received packet.
	(Gitlab #2077)

1942.	[func]		fdupont
	Added basic statistics to the DHCP-DDNS server.
	(Gitlab #2040)

1941.	[func]		fdupont
	Per DNS server TSIG keys are now supported in the DHCP-DDNS
	(aka D2) server configuration. A new callout point 'select_key'
	gives access to the selected TSIG key before sending DNS updates.
	(Gitlab #2011)

Kea 1.9.11 (development) released on Aug 30, 2021

1940.	[build]		razvan
	Library version numbers bumped for Kea 1.9.11 development
	version.
	(Gitlab #2053)

1939.	[bug]		tmark
	Removed all MultiThreadingCriticalSections from lease_cmds
	hooks library which can cause a dead-lock when running HA+MT.
	The commands simply try to acquire the resource lock and fail
	if the resource is unavailable also logging an error message.
	(Gitlab #2051)

	(Gitlab #1710)

1933.	[doc]		fdupont, tomek
	Added a new ARM section about GSS-TSIG. Currently it describes

	MySQL indexing of leases database has been improved. It now
	behaves better on older MySQL versions. In particular, the lease
	reclamation no longer causes full scans to be performed. This
	fix introduces MySQL schema update to 11.0. This should reduce
	the periodic performance slowdowns.

	Server tags in the MySQL database are now represented as strings
	with a maximum length of 64 characters. Previously, the server
	tags could be up to 256 characters long, and it could cause
	database migrations to fail on the systems with UTF-8 encoding
	configured for MySQL. Shorter server tags avoid hitting the

	Kea now recognizes requests sent from vendors that include their
	information in DHCPv6 Vendor Class option (code 16) for the
	purpose of offering custom options in the response. Previously,
	only the Vendor-specific Information option (code 17) was
	searched for a vendor ID. For the purpose of classification, both
	options are looked into, now, just as before.
	(Gitlab #1837)

1902.	[func]		andrei, fdupont
	All logs that expose configuration, either in full or in snippets
	now have the values of "password" and "secret" entries replaced
	with asterisks "*****".
	(Gitlab #1721)

1901.	[bug]		marcin
	Corrected a bug in DHCPv4 subnet selection. The server ignored
	the Subnet Selection option supplied by a client if its query
	contained a Relay Agent Information (RAI) option without a Link
	Selection option. After this change, the server respects the
	Subnet Selection option when RAI lacks the Link Selection
	option. If RAI includes it, it takes precedence over the Subnet
	Selection option.
	(Gitlab #1816)

1899.	[func]		tmark,razvan
	In HA+Mt mode, the HA hook library now pauses and resumes
	its worker threads when Kea core enters and exits critical

	during core processing such as reconfiguration, shutdown,
	and certain RESTful API commands.
	(Gitlab #1818)

	The DROP class may now depend on the KNOWN or UNKNOWN classes
	and may be used after the host reservation lookup.
	(Gitlab #1815)

1897.	[func]		andrei
	Kea has a new configuration section called "compatibility" geared
	towards non-compliant clients. The only boolean parameter added
	for now called "lenient-option-parsing" changes the way DHCPv6
	option 16's vendor-class-data field is parsed. When enabled,
	instead of complaining that a length exceeds the rest of the
	option's buffer, the value is considered to be the rest of the
	buffer. This also applies to custom options defined with the
	tuple type for both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6.
	(Gitlab #1860)

1896.	[func]		wlodek
	Perfdhcp extended to send v6 traffic from multiple networks.

	addrtotext, int8totext, int16totext, int32totext, uint8totext,
	uint16totext, uint32totext.
	(Gitlab #1680)

1894.	[func]		fdupont

	(Gitlab #1652)

1888.	[func]		tmark
	Added a new operational mode, HA+MT, to the HA hook library.
	HA+MT provides direct, multi-threaded HTTP communication
	between peers for the exchange HA protocol commands and

	Added a section in the ARM explaining the relationship between
	keactrl and systemd scripts.
	(Gitlab #1759)

1885.	[func]		andrei
	kea-admin is now able to interactively ask for a password if no
	parameter follows the -p or the --password parameters. This
	requires the user to give it as the last parameter. The entered
	password is not echoed back to the terminal in order to prevent
	over-the-shoulder snooping or other social engineering
	techniques. Alternatively, you can set the password via the
	KEA_ADMIN_DB_PASSWORD environment variable.
	(Gitlab #1675)

1884.	[doc]		fdupont
	HTTP_CONNECTION_HANDSHAKE_FAILED log message got a

Kea 1.9.6 (development) released on March 31, 2021

1883.	[build]		andrei
	Bump library versions for Kea 1.9.6 release.
	(Gitlab #1772)

1882.	[func]		razvan
	Implemented database connection recovery for forensic logging.
	To achieve this, the "on-fail" connection parameter has been
	added to control the action performed on connection loss.
	The supported values are "stop-retry-exit", "serve-retry-exit"
	and "serve-retry-continue". They indicate if the server should
	disable the service on connection loss ("stop-retry-exit") or if
	on recovery failure the server should shut down
	("stop-retry-exit" and "serve-retry-exit") or continue
	("serve-retry-continue"). The default value used (if not
	configured) is "stop-retry-exit" for lease, host and config
	backends, and "serve-retry-continue" for forensic log.
	(Gitlab #1621)

1881.	[func]		fdupont
	Moved errors about URLs using names (vs addresses) or
	https (vs http) scheme in High Availability hook
	configuration from connection opening time to
	configuration time.
	(Gitlab #1758)

1880.	[build]		fdupont
	TLS support is now reported by configure in the
	cryptographic backend section.
	(Gitlab #1774)

1879.	[func]		fdupont
	The Control Agent now supports TLS/HTTPS. This works with
	OpenSSL and there are known problems with Botan, which will
	be addressed in the future.
	(Gitlab #1662)

1878.	[bug]		razvan
	Request enabling DHCP service when the HA hooks library is
	unloaded. It may remain disabled if it had been disabled
	outside of the HA hooks library. Prior to this change, if
	the HA hooks library disabled the DHCP service it would
	always remain disabled after the hooks library was unloaded.
	(Gitlab #1697)

1877.	[func]		fdupont
	kea-shell supports TLS/HTTPS. This is limited to the python 3
	version i.e. if kea-shell is configured with python 2 it still
	works in 1.9.6 but raises an error if a new TLS/HTTPS argument
	is specified.
	(Gitlab #1663)

1876.	[doc]		fdupont
	Added documentation for TLS/HTTPS support.
	(Gitlab #1664)

1875.	[func]		fdupont
	TLS/HTTPS support was added to asiolink and http libraries.
	(Gitlab #1661)

1874.	[doc]		marcin
	Added notes in the ARM highlighting that the address and
	delegated prefix pools must be split when HA load-balancing
	mode is used.
	(Gitlab #1726)

1873.	[func]		andrei
	kea-admin now accepts the -P|--port parameter with a custom

Kea 1.9.5 (development) released on Feb 24, 2021

1872.	[build]		razvan
	Library version numbers bumped for Kea 1.9.5 development
	version.
	(Gitlab #1713)

1871.	[bug]		andrei
	The cache threshold feature introduced in 1.9.4 modified
	previously versioned schema 9.5. This caused problems for people
	who had already upgraded to 9.5 which in Kea versions means 1.9.2
	and 1.9.3.
	In this change, the upgrade commands were moved to schema 9.6 and
	are only applied if the database does not contain the required
	columns. Affected Kea installments can now be upgraded to 1.9.5
	and above seamlessly.
	(Gitlab #1698)

1870.	[bug]		razvan
	Fixed a crash when using the Kea Legal Log Hooks Library with
	multi-threading. This bug was affecting only database backends.
	The log file backend was not affected by this bug.
	(Gitlab #1711)

1869.	[func]		tmark
	Kea-dhcp4 now supports specifying valid-lifetime in client
	classes.  Prior to this it could only be specified at the
	global, shared-network, and subnet scopes.
	(Gitlab #1635)

1868.	[func]		andrei
	The forensic log hook library has gained an auto-increment
	primary key column in it's logs table. It is now able to function
	in a MySQL Percona cluster which requires a primary key for all
	it's tables when configured with pxc_strict_mode = ENFORCING
	which is also the default value.
	(Gitlab #1709)

1867.	[bug]		andrei
	MySQL connection unit tests have been modified to work with
	Percona cluster. This change doesn't fix all problems, but it
	improves the situation sufficiently to be able to run unit tests
	with positive results on a Percona cluster.
	(Gitlab #1708)

1866.	[func]		marcin
	Added new log messages issued when a dynamic lease allocation
	fails. The new messages provide comprehensive information about
	the circumstances in which the failure occurred. In particular,
	they state whether the client is connected to a shared network
	or not. If it is, the shared network name is provided. Otherwise,
	the client's subnet id is logged. The new messages also inform
	from how many subnets the server attempted to allocate a lease
	and how many subnets could not be used because of non-matching
	client classes.
	(Gitlab #1701)

1865.	[func]		razvan
	Implemented the Run Script hooks library which can be used to
	run external scripts for specific packet processing hook points.
	There are several exported environment variables available for
	the script. Currently the implementation is nonblocking and
	Kea will not wait for the script to finish execution before
	continuing to the next step. For this reason, the next step
	provided by the script is ignored.
	(Gitlab #899)

1864.	[func]		fdupont
	New parameters to handle TLS support added in Control Agent
	config: "trust-anchor", "cert-file", "key-file" and
	"cert-required". They can be configured, but their values are
	not yet used.
	(Gitlab #1662)

1863.	[func]		andrei
	The perfdhcp tool now supports the -x l option that exports the
	assigned leases to stdout in CSV format. This new capability is
	very useful for the ongoing DB cluster experiments, where we need
	to correlate leases between multiple Kea instances sharing the
	same cluster.
	(Gitlab #1703)

1862.	[build]		andrei
	Added execution permissions to the upgrade scripts in Kea's
	installation. Previously kea-admin db-upgrade would fail with a
	permission denied error. It started manifesting in 1.9.3 and
	affected 1.9.4 as well. Additionally, now, when running make in
	the source repository to recreate scripts e.g. kea-admin, after a
	change to the .in files e.g. kea-admin.in, they maintain the
	execution permissions granted in the initial build. This makes
	development more seamless.
	(Gitlab #1681)

1861.	[bug]*		tmark
	kea-dhcp4 now uses the value for each fixed field (e.g.
	next-server, server-hostname, boot-file-name) from the
	first class in query's list of classes that specifies the
	field. Prior to this it used the value from the last class
	which specified the field. It may be necessary to revise
	existing configurations to get the desired values.
	(Gitlab #1672)

Kea 1.9.4 (development) released on Jan 27, 2021

1860.	[build]		razvan
	Library version numbers bumped for Kea 1.9.4 development
	version.
	(Gitlab #1666)

1859.	[doc]		wlodek
	Added example files with configured Vendor Specific Information
	option (code 43) and Vendor-Identifying Vendor-specific
	Information option (code 125) with several suboptions each.
	(Gitlab #1546)

1858.	[bug]		razvan
	The DHCP service can be independently enabled or disabled by
	the user command, by the database connection mechanics or
	by the HA library. The DHCP service is disabled when any
	of those originators disables the service, and it is enabled
	when all those who previously disabled the service enable it.
	The 'dhcp-enable' and 'dhcp-disable' commands accept 'origin'
	parameter with valid values of 'user' (which is the default)
	indicating a user generated command and 'ha-partner' which is
	used internally by the HA library.
	(Gitlab #1601)

1857.	[build]		andrei
	Code format styles meant to be as close as possible to the
	recommended coding guidelines are now included with the Kea
	source repository in the form of .clang-format and
	.uncrustify.cfg. The clang-format.sh and uncrustify.sh scripts in
	the tools directory can be used to apply these styles to chosen
	files. See coding guidelines in CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.
	(Gitlab #1455)

1856.	[bug]		razvan
	When using the config backend, the server converts the old
	'reservation-mode' global parameter internally to new
	reservation flags. The new flags are listed when issuing the
	config-get command.
	(Gitlab #1598)

1855.	[func]		marcin
	Improved failover procedure in Kea High Availability library
	by introducing new communication-recovery state. In this
	state the load balancing servers remain responsive to DHCP
	queries when the communication between them is interrupted.
	The new feature is controlled using the delayed-updates-limit
	configuration parameter.
	(Gitlab #1402)

1854.	[func, perf]	fdupont
	Implemented "lease caching", a feature similar to ISC
	DHCP's dhcp-cache-threshold. Lease caching is configured
	through two new parameters: cache-max-age and cache-threshold,
	and is supported by both kea-dhcp4 and kea-dhcp6. When enabled,
	lease-caching allows the server to skip updating lease storage,
	when a client is requesting it's own pre-existing lease whose
	age falls under the cache threshold and for which there are no
	substantive changes to lease values such as the hostname.
	(Gitlab #1418)

1853.	[func]		fdupont
	Populated the space field of option definitions. This solved
	reported bugs where a specific standard option processing
	was applied to an option from another space but sharing the
	same code. In particular, this fixes the problem reported
	with vendor suboption 125.
	(Gitlab #1585)

1852.	[bug]		razvan
	Corrected the value of unacked-clients-left returned in response
	to the status-get command and the corresponding log messages.
	The previously returned value was too low by 1.
	(Gitlab #1578)

1851.	[func]		fdupont
	Removed methods fetching leases by both client identifier
	and hardware addresses from the API.
	(Gitlab #1540)

1850.	[build]		andrei
	Add two scripts to help with code aesthetics, insight on how Kea
	is built or minor build optimizations:
	* ./tools/check-for-duplicate-includes.sh: warns you if
	there is a source file that includes the same header twice.
	While this wouldn't normally result in any errors, it is an
	unusual practice. If you feel that a header should be included
	twice in a file, add the file under "# Exceptions:" in the
	script.
	* ./tools/print-generated-files.sh: prints all the files
	that are generated which may or may not be part of the
	repository. These consist of messages, parser files, and "built
	sources" (as called in Makefile.am files).
	(Gitlab #1602)

1849.	[doc]		tomek
	Two known DHCPv4 RFC violations are now documented in the ARM.
	They are both cases where Kea deliberately deviates from the
	RFC to accommodate some common broken-client behaviors.
	(Gitlab #1608, #1615)

	(Gitlab #692)

1844.	[bug]		marcin
	Corrected a bug in Kea Control Agent error responses when a
	malformed command was sent. In some cases a map with an error
	response was returned instead of a list.
	(Gitlab #432)

1843.	[func]		andrei
	Allow perfdhcp to request options via option 55 PRL. perfdhcp
	adds option 55 with a few requested options by default so in
	order to allow `perfdhcp -o 55,abcd` special logic to merge all
	the buffers of option 55 was implemented. Works with multiple
	`-o` arguments.
	(Gitlab #1508)

1842.	[func]		razvan
	Fixed the db connection reconnect implementation to honor
	each connection backend configuration. The most important
	improvement is that only the affected manager will be
	recreated when a connection is lost. Previously, even
	managers which were not affected had to be recreated on
	any connection loss. Also fixed an issue with recovery
	when multi-threading is enabled.
	(Gitlab #1375)

1841.	[bug]		marcin
	Corrected issues with inheritance of the DHCPv6 interface-id
	parameter. When interface-id is set at shared network level
	but not at the subnet level this setting is properly propagated
	to the config backend and reported when responding to the
	config-get command. Prior to this change, if the interface-id
	was set for a shared network, it was always returned for the
	subnets belonging to this shared network, even when subnet
	specific value was not specified.
	(Gitlab #652)

1840.	[bug]		fdupont
	Fixed the inheritance of the triple min-valid-lifetime,
	valid-lifetime and max-valid-lifetime parameters from
	the global scope, and fixed it for preferred-lifetime too.
	Added a sanity check refusing incorrect settings, e.g.
	the lifetime not being between min and max values.
	(Gitlab #1456)

1839.	[bug]		tmark
	kea-dhcp4 and kea-dhcp6 now calculate the DDNS TTL value
	based on RFC 4702, Section 5 which suggests that the
	TTL value be 1/3 of the lease's valid life time with a
	minimum value of 10 minutes. Prior to this the servers
	set the TTL to equal to the lease's valid life time.
	(Gitlab #936)

1838.	[bug]		fdupont
	The DHCPv6 sent multiple instances of an option or a
	sub-option when it seems to be requested more than once
	directly by the client or using the always-send flag.
	(Gitlab #1449)

	Several Kea ARM corrections.
	(Gitlab #1514)

Kea 1.9.2 (development) released on Nov 25, 2020

1836.	[build]		razvan
	Library version numbers bumped for Kea 1.9.2 development
	version.
	(Gitlab #1555)

1835.	[doc]		peterd
	Several Kea ARM corrections.
	(Gitlab #1536)

1834.	[func]		fdupont
	Added two new callouts (hook points) in the control agent.
	The "auth" callout is executed after the basic authentication
	(if configured) and the command processing. The "response"
	callout is executed after the command processing and before
	the HTTP response is returned.
	(Gitlab #1421)

1833.	[doc]		sgoldlust
	Many documentation corrections.
	(Gitlab #1539)

1832.	[func]		tomek, wlodek
	Perfdhcp extended with functionality to gradually
	increase elapsed time in solicit and secs field in offer.
	(Gitlab #1332)

1831.	[bug]		razvan
	Fixed the DHCPv6 server implementation of the
	reservations-out-of-pool flag to match the DHCPv4 one. When the
	flag is true:
	* the server assumes that all reserved address do not belong to
	  the dynamic pool.
	* the server will not assign reserved addresses that are inside
	  the dynamic pool to the respective clients.
	* addresses matching the respective reservations from inside
	  the dynamic pools (if any) can be dynamically assigned to any
	  client.
	(Gitlab #1550)

1830.	[func]		fdupont, razvan
	Added new configuration options reservations-global,
	reservations-in-subnet and reservations-out-of-pool to replace
	the old reservation-mode parameter. The new flags can be
	configured independently, adding support for new configuration
	scenarios when global and in subnet reservations are both
	active.
	(Gitlab #1405)

1829.	[bug]		fdupont, razvan
	Fixed a bug in the hasAddressReservation function which was
	causing the search for reservations to end as soon as no global
	reservation was found when configuring a subnet or shared
	network with global reservations enabled.
	(Gitlab #1405)

1828.	[bug]		andrei, razvan
	Fix trivial logic error in handling the "lease4-update" command
	manifesting itself on v4 if multi-threading is enabled.
	Notable affected environment is a HA with the
	"send-lease-updates" configuration setting explicitly set to
	true. Prior to this fix, lease updates would not go through to
	other HA nodes, even though some log lines would say they would.
	A simple workaround prior to this fix is to disable
	multi-threading.
	(Gitlab #1542)

1827.	[build]		andrei
	Add `tools/add-config-h.sh` script that can add
	`#include <config.h>` lines to non-generated source files that
	are missing it.
	(Gitlab #1453)

Kea 1.9.1 (development) released on Oct 28, 2020

1826.	[build]		razvan
	Library version numbers bumped for Kea 1.9.1 development
	version.
	(Gitlab #1481)

1825.	[doc]		andrei
	Examples for option definitions, option data, standardized option
	spaces other than "dhcp[46]", custom option spaces, option
	embedding under doc/examples/kea[46]/all-options.json.
	(Gitlab #1298)

1824.	[func]		tmark
	Added a new parameter, ddns-use-conflict-resolution, to
	kea-dhcp4 and kea-dhcp6. This parameter is passed per request
	to kea-dhcp-ddns which uses it to determine whether or not
	conflict resolution rules (see RFC 4703) are followed for that
	request.  The default value is true. Disabling conflict
	resolution should only be used after careful consideration.
	(Gitlab #1386)

1823.	[doc]		tomek
	Updated options documentation for DHCPv4 and DHCPv6.
	(Gitlab #1436, #1460)

1822.	[func]		fdupont
	When multi-threading is enabled the status-get command displays
	the average length of the multi-threading packet queue for last
	10, 100 and 1000 packets.
	(Gitlab #1306)

1821.	[func]		anonymous, fdupont
	The forensic log hook library now logs release and decline
	events.
