Revision history for Perl extension Net::DHCP. *** 0.60 Mar 29 2005 Lots of tests added. getOption() and addOption() removed and replaced by: - getOptionValue() & addOptionValue() which provide automatic type conversion to/from text representation - getOptionRaw() & addOptionRaw() to manipulate binary format packed into strings. new() now behaves differently for DHCP options, requiring text values and not packed binary values. toString() now escapes unprintable characters. Added methods : ciaddrRaw, giaddrRaw, siaddrRaw, yiaddrRaw that use packed binary formats. They are provided for performance enhancements when you want to avoid unnecessary type conversion. Pad options (0x00) are now supported. Example of DHCPLeaseQuery provided by John A. Murphy. *** 0.53 Mar 02 2005 Performance enhancement in Packet->new() avoirding unnecessary type conversion and function calls. Support for DHCPLEASEQUERY, Cisco extension (draft-ietf-dhc-leasequery-05.txt). Corrected bug in Packet->new() not allowing '0' in Hlen and Htype parameters. Thanks to John A. Murphy. *** 0.52 Feb 24 2005 Performance enhancements in Packet.pm. *** 0.51 Feb 20 2005 Added encoding and decoding functions for Relay Agent information (option 82 - RFC 3046). Comment field added in the Packet object. This lets you put any comment in the Packet object, such as a transaction number. This field not processed. *** 0.50 Feb 8 2005 Deeply rewritten version based on Net::DHCP v0.11 by Francis van Dun. Net::DHCP::Session is momentarily missing, it should be reintroduced soon. --- Stephan Hadinger
