I've thought about this, and the reason I didn't go for it is that the
addition of DHCPv6 has not changed any existing functionality. Unless
I've made a mistake, 2.60 should slot into any existing dnsmasq
configuration and just keep working. That's certainly the intention and
deliberately so.
I'd really like to do a non-backward-compatible 3.0 release and throw
away the bad design decisions that have accumulated over the years. I
may well do one at some point, but it won't be now, and I won't force
users to re-build their installations to get DHCPv6.
Cheers,
Simon.
