ipupdate 1.1.1 has been imported into the repository. This should make updating ipupdate more convenient on me as well as make available any changes I've committed that are not yet part of a release.

ipupdate 1.1.1 rpms available

Dave Clark — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 20:26:44 -0000

On December 18th, ipupdate 1.1.1 was released to fix a major issue with sending updates to Microsoft DNS Server. Today, however, I've added RPM distributions to the binary and source releases for convenience on RPM supporting platforms. All new version releases after this will come with spec files so that rpms can be built directly from the tarball.

ipupdate 1.1.0 released

Dave Clark — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 17:16:08 -0000

The latest version of ipupdate supports unsecured dynamic update in addition to TSIG secured. This opens the doors for use with Microsoft DNS Server as long as you take proper security precautions. Also, the failover getip tool was added to make it simple for administrators to change their DNS to a failover server if the main server goes offline.

A large number of bug fixes and minor features/tweaks have been made so take a look at the ChangeLog to see what all is new. The documentation has been updated. In particular, the getip(7) manpage has been added so that failover and other tools are properly documented.

ipupdate releases older than 1.0.3 has been removed from the file manager since their use is strongly discouraged.

ipupdate maintenance releases

Dave Clark — Fri, 09 Sep 2005 15:57:05 -0000

Since its inception, I've released several maintenance revisions. Of the 3 digit version number, the last digit is the maintenance revision. A maintenance revision is released whenever there is a serious bug, or if I make so many minor tweaks and fixes that it justifies another release.

The second version digit is a feature revision. A feature revision is released whenever there are significant features added to the program. ipupdate 1.0.x source currently comes with a TODO list that will be available in the next feature release.

The first version digit is the core revision. A core revision is released whenever most of the code has been rewritten for some noble purpose. The ipupdate version previous to 1.0.0 had a major rewrite before being upgraded to version 1.0.0. There aren't any motivations behind releasing a 2.0.0 in the near feature.

Documentation is online

I've finished putting up the basics for the website at the "Home Page" link above. A list of features, and some documentation is available for the viewing.

ipupdate 1.0.0 released

Dave Clark — Fri, 26 Aug 2005 14:20:40 -0000

This is the initial release. This release is considered stable.

So it begins...

Dave Clark — Wed, 24 Aug 2005 15:59:04 -0000

Just now got the sourceforge ipupdate project started with a bit of configuration. I'll be releasing files tomorrow.
