Dnsmasq 2.42 (Default branch) |
|
|
Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS
forwarder and DHCP server. It is designed to
provide DNS and (optionally) DHCP to a small
network. It can serve the names of local machines
which are not in the global DNS. The DHCP server
integrates with the DNS server and allows machines
with DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in the DNS
with names configured either in each host or in a
central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports
static and dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP/TFTP for
network booting of diskless machines.

Changes:
This release adds some minor configuration options and includes some maintenance for non-Linux platforms. There are two significant bugfixes: a fix to the RFC3046 DHCP agent-id code, and a fix for a bug that caused dnsmasq to spin, eating CPU, in very rare circumstances. (The bug has been present since 2.38, and there has been exactly one report of this problem.) Users of releases 2.38 and later should, nevertheless, upgrade.
