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.
