[Kea-users] Using Host Reservations in Kea

[Marcin Siodelski]

Klaus,

I know it may sound a bit vague but for Kea 1.1.0 we have decided to put
feature complete release, rather than time-based release and thus the
release dates are still a bit fluid. According to our most recent
projections the Kea 1.1.0 release may appear around end of September and
the Beta release around end of August. But these are not firm dates.
