[Dnsmasq-discuss] Announce: dnsmasq-2.63rc1

[Simon Kelley]

I'm starting the release process for dnsmasq-2.63 with a first release 
candidate. There's a reasonably hard deadline on making the final 2.63 
release of 23rd August, to catch the feature-freeze on the next Ubuntu 
release.

v2.63rc1 is tagged in git:

Please could anyone who can test this code? I'm especially interested in 
experiences with the new --bind-dynamic mode.

Translators, please do your stuff.

Changelog since 2.62:

version 2.63
             Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.

             Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
             start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.

             Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
             stuff is pointless without that.

             Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
             --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
             interfaces.

             A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
             to Metin Kaya for the patches.

             Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range,
             and the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
             still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
             configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
             been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
             superceded by other mechanisms.

             Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
             addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.

             Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
             chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.

             Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.

             Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
             option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
             format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
             the suggestion.

             Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
             as seconds, minutes, hours and days.  Álvaro Gámez Machado
             spotted the ommission.


Cheers,

Simon.
