 	    Chekholko for bug reports and help debugging. 

 	    Support netascii transfer mode for TFTP.

+version 2.43
+	    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.
+
+	    Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
+	    support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
+	    don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
+  
+            Implement random source ports for interactions with
+            upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
+            against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
+            clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
+            recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
+            source port (and socket) for each query it sends
+            upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
+            --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
+            restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
+            specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
+
+	    Replace the random number generator, for better
+	    security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
+	    arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
+	    it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
+	    guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
+	    replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
+	    J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.  
+
+	    Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
+	    if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
+	    change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
+	    problems for non-root daemons listening on high
+	    ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
+
+	    Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
