[EXT] Re: What's new in v4

[Brian Julin]

We're eying the ability to launch radius client requests while serving other requests to eliminate the need for looping entire EAP flows through our clearpass servers.  Hopefully we can just send accounting plus a simple 2-packet macauth to Clearpass to get policy/posture advice, and clearpass and it's CoA mechanisms will be happy and never know the difference.

It's never that simple of course but we look forward to trying it out.

  Thanks.

  The end is definitely in sight.

  Other fun features:

* keyed load-balancing:

        load-balance &User-Name {
                module1
                module2
                ...
        }

* local variables  file:///Users/alandekok/git/wrapper/freeradius-server/build/docsite/freeradius-server/4.0.0/reference/unlang/local.html

        {
                uint32 foo
                uint32 bar

                &foo = 1
                &bar = 2
                ...

        }

  Just so many nice things.  v3 was a big jump in features over v2.  v4 is almost magic in comparison.
