Hi,

I don't have any problems with the current factory release, but note
it hasn't been updated since late October, and the beta on the site is
a few months old now also.

Will the beta ever be pushed to release status or is there some reason
it is still in beta?

Thanks,
Andrew.

It would be nice to get more details on the Teudsindis build

In particular can this fix be 'expanded' on a little:-

DHCP ranges consisting of a single IP were in some situations being
mishandled, and not offered to the client.

Some situations would be what?

It will be released, the reason for the delay relates to an internal
procedure we (FireBrick) want to do at the same time as releasing it.
The beta has been stable for some time, and if you want the latest
firmware I would use the beta.

I had an unusual situation - a subnet with DHCP client allocating a
single address restricted to my laptop MAC, if my laptop declined the
address (which it shouldn't have), the FireBrick marked it declined and
wouldn't offer it again until I killed the entry in the DHCP table.
