1.0.0

------------------

New features
^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Add rate limit handler to ignore obnoxious clients
- Add implementation for the Leasequery and Bulk Leasequery protocols

Fixes
^^^^^

- Ignore MAC address `00:00:00:00:00:00` when searching for a server-id
- Fix finding the inner relay message in a RelayForwardMessage

Changes for users
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Improve logging for ignored messages
- The default log level now only logs errors, not warnings
- Improve exception handling and logging for errors during worker initialisation

Changes for developers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Sending replies has been moved from the main process to the worker processes
- Therefore :class:`.OutgoingPacketBundle` does no longer exist
- Constants for status codes have been renamed to be more consistent, the old names have been deprecated and will be
removed in the future
- Tests have been moved under the dhcpkit module to be easier to import from other extensions (for example when they
need a solicit message and packet to test with)
- Added Leasequery and Bulk Leasequery messages, options and status codes
- Leasequery needs RelayForwardMessages without a contained message, so allow that now
- Code for privilege management have been moved to dhcpkit.common
- Code for console logging has been moved to dhcpkit.common.logging
- Replies are now sent directly from worker processes, not first handed back to the master and then sent from there
- Refactor listeners and message handling to allow for TCP listeners and leasequery extensions
- Open sockets with SO_REUSEADDR so we can restart quickly without having to wait for TIME_WAIT
- Allow for multiple responses in transaction bundle, especially useful for TCP connections

0.9.5

------------------

New features
^^^^^^^^^^^^

- 2.5x speed improvement.

Changes for developers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- :meth:`.ProtocolElement.parse` and the :meth:`~.ProtocolElement.load_from` methods it uses no longer call
:meth:`.ProtocolElement.validate` because every (nested) element validating everything all the time is rather
inefficient. Now callers are supposed to call :meth:`.ProtocolElement.validate` themselves (if they want to).
- We no longer use :mod:`abc` and :class:`~abc.ABCMeta`. It turned out that all the run-time validation it did caused a
±20% slow down.

0.9.4

------------------

New features
^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Added support for the :rfc:`6939` client link-layer address relay option
- Added support for the :rfc:`4580` subscriber-id relay option
- Added support for the :rfc:`6334` DS-Lite AFTR tunnel endpoint name option
- Added support for the :rfc:`7598` MAP options
- Added support for :mod:`~dhcpkit.ipv6.extensions.linklayer_id` and :mod:`~dhcpkit.ipv6.extensions.subscriber_id` in
:ref:`static-csv` and :ref:`static-sqlite`

Fixes
^^^^^

- Fix error where command line log-level argument was ignored.
- Fix error that caused every message to be interpreted as received-over-multicast
- Don't block when the inbound queue is full, just drop the message and continue
- Fixed an interface-id parsing bug in :ref:`static-csv` and :ref:`static-sqlite`
- Allow UnknownOption in all options, otherwise we reject messages with options that contain unknown sub-options

0.9.3

------------------

Fixes
^^^^^

- Not all systems have a ``wheel`` group anymore, so don't use that as a default group for the control socket.
- Linux doesn't support SIGINFO, and its functionality has become redundant with the new control socket functionality,
so remove SIGINFO handling.

Changes for users
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Critical errors are now always shown on `stderr`. Otherwise the server could crash without the user seeing the reason.

0.9.2

------------------

Fixes
^^^^^

- A packaging error slipped through the checks, and it turns out that crucial XML files weren't packaged in previous
0.9.x versions. This has now been fixed.

0.9.1

------------------

New features
^^^^^^^^^^^^

- It is now possible to use IDNs everywhere in DHCPKit, including configuration files.
- Implement a domain socket to control the server process.
- Added :ref:`ipv6-dhcpctl` to control the server process through the domain socket.
- Added a configuration section ``<statistics>`` to specify categories that you would like statistics on. Currently it is
possible to gather statistics per interface, client subnet or relay.
- Added ``stats`` and ``stats-json`` commands for `ipv6-dhcpctl`.

Changes for users
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Create PID file /var/run/ipv6-dhcpd.pid by default.
- Create domain socket /var/run/ipv6-dhcpd.sock control the server by default.

Changes for developers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Added support for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) in :meth:`~dhcpkit.utils.parse_domain_bytes` and
:meth:`~dhcpkit.utils.encode_domain`.
- Created ForOtherServerError as a subclass of CannotRespondError, to enable more accurate logging, and to make it
possible to gather better statistics.
- Replaced :attr:`.IncomingPacketBundle.interface_id` ``bytes``
with :attr:`~.IncomingPacketBundle.interface_name` ``str``,
providing :attr:`~.IncomingPacketBundle.interface_id` for backwards compatibility.
- Added :attr:`~.TransactionBundle.relays` property to more easily enumerate all the relays a message went through.
- Moved responsibility of creating the :class:`.TransactionBundle` from the :class:`.MessageHandler` to :mod:`.worker`.
It gives a cleaner API and helps with statistics counting.
- Added :mod:`.statistics` and updated :mod:`.worker` and :class:`.MessageHandler` to update relevant counters.
