The changelog is as good as it gets, I'm afraid. The git history doesn't
go back that far. The only other resource is my memory, which is faulty
and partial, as you might imagine. However I think I'd remember if there
was ever a bug of that nature (changing IP address), and I don't
remember such. The timing of DHCP renews is down to the client, which
implies a client problem for the "renew every minute" problem.

Can you explain in more detail exactly what's happening here. The renew
starts with a client asking to renew an address. The server will either
acknowledge that or send a DHCPNAK if the address isn't available. Are
you saying that the server is sending a DHCPACK, but for a different
address?



Cheers,

Simon.
