2.61

29 Apr 2012 18:34

Release Notes: This release has a lot of extra work on the DHCPv6 code that debuted in 2.60. Many bugs have been fixed and extra features added. The router advertisement feature is now much more configurable, and there's a mode that allows dnsmasq to make AAAA DNS records for hosts that use SLAAC IPv6 addresses and DHCP IPv4 addresses.

Release Notes: This release adds major new features, Lua scripting, and DHCPv6. The scripting interface has been expanded to allow DHCP scripting in Lua. The Lua interpreter is part of the dnsmasq process and remains resident, giving global variables that are persistent between calls to the script. The DHCP subsystem has been expanded to include support for DHCP for IPv6 addresses, as well as IPv6 Router advertisement.

Release Notes: This release addresses a couple of issues that have surfaced with dnsmasq-2.58, which could cause problems at startup with IPv6 link-local addresses. One is a regression in dnsmasq, and the other stems from a change in the behaviour of bridge interfaces in recent Linux kernels.

2.58

Release Notes: The usual mix of bugfixes and feature enhancements. There are fixes for a couple of nasty TFTP bugs, so TFTP users should upgrade. Notable amongst the enhancements is support for Linux conntrack. Dnsmasq can now copy conntrack marks from incoming DNS queries to the upstream connections used to answer them. This feature could be useful for bandwidth accounting, captive portals, and the like. A similar feature has been implemented in Squid 2.2. There are also fixes for large (thousands of leases) DHCP systems and DHCP via relay.
