changes from the previous release:

            Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.

            Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
            start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.

            Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
            stuff is pointless without that.

            Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
            --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
            interfaces.

            A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
            to Metin Kaya for the patches.

            Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range,
            and the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
            still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
            configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
            been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
            superceded by other mechanisms.

            Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
            addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.

            Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
            chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.

            Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.

            Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
            option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
            format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
            the suggestion.

            Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
            as seconds, minutes, hours and days.  Álvaro Gámez Machado
            spotted the ommission.

            Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

            Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
            which overrides the default,
            uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
            Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.

            Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
            Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.




Cheers,

Simon.
