[Dnsmasq-discuss] Announce: dnsmasq 2.74rc1

Considering its lengthy gestation, 2.73 seems to have been successful,
but there are a few  nasty regressions which are causing people problems.

1) The meaning of --conf-file without an argument changed from "don't
read any conf-file" to "read the default conf-file"

2) A resolv-file which was dangling symlink at startup causes
problems, up to and including a segmentation fault.

3) Under some circumstances, dnsmasq can use more file descriptors,
and this shows up that the code doesn't handle the limit (normally
1024) in the number of descriptors handled by the select() system call.

I'm therefore proposing a 2.74 release which fixes just these issues,
in fairly short order, and I've tagged 2.74rc1 today.

Please give it a whirl.


Cheers,

Simon.
