Revision history for Perl extension Net::DHCP.
*** 0.62 Oct 07 2005
Minor change to make module compatible Perl 5.6.0 instead of
only 5.8.0.
*** 0.61 Apr 29 2005
Changed minimal acceptable packet length in marshall() method.
*** 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.

Performance enhancements in Packet.pm.
*** 0.51 Feb 20 2005

van Dun.
