Dnsmasq 2.37 is now available. This fixes a problem in 2.36, so anyone
running 2.36 should probably upgrade as convenient.

Cheers,

Simon.


Full changelog:

version 2.37
            Add better support for RFC-2855 DHCP-over-firewire and RFC
           -4390 DHCP-over-InfiniBand. A good suggestion from Karl Svec.

            Some efficiency tweaks to the cache code for very large
            /etc/hosts files. Should improve reverse (address->name)
            lookups and garbage collection. Thanks to Jan 'RedBully'
            Seiffert for input on this.

            Fix regression in 2.36 which made bogus-nxdomain
            and DNS caching unreliable. Thanks to Dennis DeDonatis
            and Jan Seiffert for bug reports.

            Make DHCP encapsulated vendor-class options sane. Be
            warned that some conceivable existing configurations
            using these may break, but they work in a much
            simpler and more logical way now. Prepending
            "vendor:<client-id>" to an option encapsulates it
            in option 43, and the option is sent only if the
            client-supplied vendor-class substring-matches with
            the given client-id. Thanks to Dennis DeDonatis for
            help with this.

            Apply patch from Jan Seiffert to tidy up tftp.c

            Add support for overloading the filename and servername
            fields in DHCP packet. This gives extra option-space when
            these fields are not being used or with a modern client
            which supports moving them into options.

            Added a LIMITS section to the man-page, with guidance on
            maximum numbers of clients, file sizes and tuning.
