This is a pre-release announcement for 0.5. Anyone who has had
problems with the CVS snapshot should announce any bugs they've
encountered. If there are no problems, then 0.5 will be released in a
day or so.
Here is the change log:
FreeRADIUS 0.5.0 ; $Date: 2002/03/11 18:47:08 $, urgency=medium
* Many bug fixes. For explicit details, see:
http://www.freeradius.org/cvs-log/
* Fix a logic bug in the 'walk over request list' code, which
would sometimes result in a request being deleted while it
was still being processed. Found by Rainer Clasen
* New 'tuning' guide, for optimizing the server's speed.
* The default ports are now 1812/1813, which is the standard.
* Fix a bug which would hang the server when many SQL connections
were open. Found by Cvetan Ivanov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* Updated MySQL schema, with sanity checks, based on a schema from
Thomas Huehn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* Added 'Aptis' (Nortel CVX) dictionary.
* Added Ipv6 attributes (as 'octets' type for now)
* 'xlat' capability for SQL, so other modules can do SQL queries.
* We don't need a shared secret for LOCAL realms.
* Added better description of internal variables.
* Configurable fail-over to DEFAULT realm. Sometimes we don't
want to use the DEFAULT realm, if all configured realms are
marked dead. From Rainer Clasen.
* new configuration items 'max_attributes' and 'reject_delay'
If the packet contains too many attributes, it can be rejected.
We can also delay sending an Access-Reject, which slows down
certain DoS attacks.
* Updates to redhat scripts and spec file, from Marko Myllynen.
* Python module (EXPERIMENTAL) from migs paraz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* Add ability to find *best* match when comparing attributes.
If there is more than one attribute in a request and the first
one doesn't match, go check the second one, instead of failing.
* unixODBC support for SQL, from Dmitri Ageev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* Use thread-safe versions of library calls. This work is still
on-going.
* New rlm_passwd module, to allow general parsing of passwd-style
files.
* Preliminary EAP-TLS support.
* Updated LDAPv3 schema
* Correct checks for Odbc, and fix bugs in the module.
Andreas Kainz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* MAN page fixes and updates
* Added PHP web interface 'dialup_admin'
* Password = "UNIX" or "PAM" backwards compatibility removed.
* Use the operators in the SQL schema and queries, and bug
fixes in the SQL module.
Randy Moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* fgetpwent() compatibility, for systems without it,
from Daniel Carroll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* Added PAP authentication module, as a step to removing
most authentication handlers in other modules.
* Send a Access-Reject after max_request_time
* Multiple fixes in the LDAP module.
* Quintum dictionary by Jeremy McNamara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* Preliminary EAP Module with MD5 support
Contributed by Raghu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* Better sanity checking for bad VSA's when receiving a packet
* new 'xlat register' so that attribute values may be pulled
out of configurable databases at run-time.
e.g. %{ldap:ldap:///dc=company,dc=com?uid?sub?uid=%u}
* Minor fixes to debian package rules
* Attribute 'Password' deprecated in favor of 'User-Password'.
* MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2 MPPE support added.
Contributed by Takahiro Wagatsuma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
* X9.9 token enhancements (several).
