Hey Luke,
Thanks for the post. I've been trying to hold out on NetReg 2 until ISC
finalized DHCPd 3. With the number of release candidates Ted's cutting,
I wonder if version 3 will ever be final...seems to be a new one every
week! :)
There are plans for a NetReg version 2 to be released this summer-- let
me rephrase that-- I would like there to be a NetReg 2 release this
summer which I plan to do.
The biggest improvement will be a MySQL backend (don't know if this will
be optional or not yet) to sort of keep a longer lease history.
Maybe better documentation and a basic install script (?) also.
