DOCUMENTATION

42       Kea comes with an extensive Kea  Administrator  Reference  Manual  that
43       covers all aspects of running the Kea software - compilation, installa‐
44       tion, configuration, configuration examples, and much  more.  Kea  also
45       features  a  Kea Messages Manual, which lists all possible messages Kea
46       can print with a brief description for each of them. Both documents are
47       available in various formats (.txt, .html, .pdf) with the Kea distribu‐
48       tion.     The     Kea      documentation      is      available      at
49       https://kb.isc.org/docs/kea-administrator-reference-manual .
50
51       Kea  source code is documented in the Kea Developer's Guide. Its online
52       version is available at https://jenkins.isc.org/job/Kea_doc/doxygen/.
53
54       The Kea project website is available at https://kea.isc.org.

MAILING LISTS AND SUPPORT

57       There are two public mailing  lists  available  for  the  Kea  project.
58       kea-users (kea-users at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea users, while
59       kea-dev (kea-dev at lists.isc.org)  is  intended  for  Kea  developers,
60       prospective  contributors,  and  other  advanced  users. Both lists are
61       available at https://lists.isc.org. The community provides  best-effort
62       support on both of those lists.
63
64       ISC    provides    professional   support   for   Kea   services.   See
65       https://www.isc.org/kea/ for details.

HISTORY

68       The b10-dhcp6 daemon was first coded in June 2011 by Tomek Mrugalski.
69
70       Kea became a standalone server and the BIND 10 framework  was  removed.
71       The DHCPv6 server binary was renamed to kea-dhcp6 in July 2014.
