dhcpcd-7.1.0 released
Published: Tuesday, January 22, 2019
dhcpcd-7.1.0 has been released with the following changes:
- OpenBSD: works alongside slaacd(8)
- NetBSD: sets SO_RERROR on to detect receive socket overflow
- BSD: route improvements to avoid listening for own changes
- Linux: use NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR
- BSD: avoid late address deletion messages by testing address existance
- IP6: implement IP6 address sharing
- BSD: catch UP/DOWN events when interfaces does support media changes
- IPv4LL: remember old address when carrier is lost
Many other minor fixes and documenation updates have been submitted by various community members for this release which is nice to see :)
IP6 address sharing requies the kernel to avoid IPv6 ND messages from itself via nonce matching and/or hardware address matching because all kernels handle IP6 Duplicate Address Detection.
