2
3	The server no longer requires a 5.4 client to have rport=0
4	in order to reply to the sending port. This releases a small
5	issue that broke 5.4 clients with servers <= 5.3.
6	As of this version, if the client's version is 5.4 or higher,
7	the server always replies to the sending UDP port and disregards
8	rport. 5.5. clients however continue to fill in rport in order
9	to be compatible with <= 5.3 servers.

11On dhisd-5.4:
12
13	The modular architecture has been dropped and the modules and
14	engines are no longer part of dhisd. Instead dhisd is again
15	a DNS only updating daemon without engines; the extra functionality
16	provided by previous engines can however still be replicated with
17	OnCmd and OffCmd scripts on a per-host basis.
18
19	The default configuration directory is now /usr/local/etc
20
21	The default binaries directory is now /usr/local/sbin
22
23	It is now possible to put all configuration parameters under a
24	config file; the default is /usr/local/etc/dhisd.conf
25
26	The pid file default location moved to /var/run/dhis/dhisd.pid
27
28	The log file default location moved to /var/log/dhis/dhisd.log
29
30	The server can now be bound to a specific IP address with either
31	the BindAddr config option or the -b command line option.
32
33	Multiple options have been added and are now possible with the
34	command line (dhisd -h) and the config file.
35
36	The server now binds to a UDP port (58800 by default) and sends
37	UDP messages from that port; in previous versions dhisd sent
38	UDP messages from a random port even though it listened on port 58000.
39
40	In addition to the database text file (specified by the -d option
41	or the DBFile config option), dhisd can now use a MySQL database
42	instead to achieve the same purpose of the dhis.db file. See
43	README and INSTALL for details.
44
45	This version of the server is compatible with NAT friendly 5.4 clients.
46
47On dhisd-5.3:
48
49	Corrected bug that caused improper handling of comment character (;)
50	in the database file.
