From CoBox 5.8.0.1 Release -------------------------- 1. New Version Numbering Scheme - visible on the setup menu and via SNMP - flexible scheme to allow for maintenance releases without release number explosion - also allows for OCPs to be created to reflect the base version and a special version number for each OCP 2. [C-050307-61092] AutoIncrement Local Port Number Option added to allow the local port number to be incremented on subsequent outgoing connection attempts while still allowing the local port number to be kept fixed for the incoming connection. 3. [C-030701-37368] DHCP Client FQDN Option (Dynamic DNS Updates) Dynamic DNS Updates are useful in a DHCP environment since they allow the DHCP server assigning the IP address to also communicate with the DNS server on behalf of the client and generate a FQDN entry by which the client (device server) could be reached. The DHCP name configuration that is already available will be used to configure the hostname that will get registered at the DNS server. There is no support for a FQDN to be specific at the device server. The domain will be the default domain in which the DHCP server and the DNS server that it communicates with reside in.
