+version 2.51
+            Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
+            in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and 
+	    /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
+            punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
+            available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
+            support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
+            support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
+            standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
+            suggestion. 
+
+            Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
+	    First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
+	    supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
+	    over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
+	    Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of 
+            a DHCP relay, if used.
+	    Suggestions from Michael Rack.
+
+	    Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
+	    options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
+          
+            Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
+            dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
+            dhcp-option-force.
+
+	    Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
+	    optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
+	    or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
+ 
+	    Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
+	    which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
+	    the patch.
+
+	    Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
+ 
+	    Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
+	    to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
+
+	    Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
+	    which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
+	    for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
+	    suggestion. 
+
+	    Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
+	    corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
+	    allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
+	    replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using 
+	    dhcp-optsfile.
+
+	    Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
+            or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and 
+            is retried. This should improve performance when there
+            is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
+            suggestion. 
+
+	    Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the 
+	    correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or 
+            pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq 
+            interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just 
+            the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
+
+	    Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
+	    which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
+	    local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
+	    fragmented packets.
+
+	    Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE 
+	    requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
+
+            Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
