OPNsense 21.1.4 includes an update to Meerkat 6.0.2 and improvements in static DHCP mapping

OPNsense version 21.1.4 includes an update to Meerkat to version 6.0.2 in case anyone wants to try it. Also, improvements in static DHCP mapping can now be done by merging the IPv6 prefix for such implementations using Unbound and Dnsmasq host registration.

In the last 3 months, work has also been done on a relaunch of the business edition which will be versioned as 21.4 to separate it from the community launch cycle. The business edition also offers additional plugins, for example for central management tasks.
