Known Issues

• There is currently an issue that sometimes causes a lock conflict while running the test suite. The symptom is that the tests stop at some point and the ./manage.py test netbox_dhcp command never returns. The issue does not seem to affect normal operation, just the tests. The specific tests have been disabled for the time being until the issue is resolved.
• Validation of input is incomplete, especially when the API or scripting are used..
• Options and Pools cannot be imported via CSV, YAML or JSON.
• Filtering Subnets, Pools etc. by Option is not possible
• Documentation is still missing

These issues will be addressed in upcoming Beta releases.
