[Simon Kelley]

The changelog from 2.42 looks like this.

            Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

            Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
            illegally.

            Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD

            Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
            format.

            Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
            BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
            this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
            leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
            dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.

            Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
            Rack for the bug report.

            Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
            Bergquist.

            Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
            option.

            Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
            Solaris 10 under Sun studio.

            Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
            pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.

            Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
            errors which occurred during startup would be worked
            around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
            some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
            terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
            associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
            capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
            Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
            this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
            suggestions.


I'll be away for a couple of weeks, and plan to make a 2.43 release when
I return, so please, anyone who can, try out the 2.43rc1 tarball. You
know it makes sense.


Cheers,

Simon.
