Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +010013 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
14 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
15 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +010016

Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +010019
20 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
21 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +010022
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +010023 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
24 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
25 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
26 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
27 patch.
28
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +010029 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
30 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
31 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
32 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
33 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
34 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
35
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +010036 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
37 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
38 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +010039
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +010040 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
41 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +010042
43 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
44 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
45 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +010046

52 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
53 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
54 non-existent DS records.
55
56 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
57 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
58 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
59 report.
60
61 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
62 for spotting that too.
63
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +010064 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
65 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
66 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.

Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +010068
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +010069version 2.70
70 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
71 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
72 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
73
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +010074 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
75 Wang Jian for the bug report.

Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +000078version 2.69
79 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
80 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
81 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
82 valuable research on how to implement this.
83
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +000084 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +000085 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +000086
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +000087 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
88 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
89 for spotting the problem.
90
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +000091 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
92 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
93 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
94 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
95 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
96
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000097 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
98 compiled with this enabled, with
99
100 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
101
102 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
103 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
104 statically with
105
106 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
107
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100108 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
109 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
110
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000111 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
112 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
113 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
114 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
115 distribution. You should of course check that these are
116 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
117
118 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
119 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000120
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000121 to your config is all thats needed to get things
122 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
123 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
124 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
125 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
126 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
127 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
128 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
129 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
130 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
131 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
132 records, which significantly improve the performance of
133 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
134 DNSSEC in action.
135
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100136 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
137 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
138 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
139 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
140 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
141 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
142 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
143 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
144 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
145 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
146 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
147 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
148 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
149 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
150 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
151 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
152
153 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
154 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
155 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
156 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
157 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
158 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
159 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
160 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
161 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
162 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
163 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
164 henceforward will be complete.
165
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000166 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
167 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
168 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
169 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
170 a workable state.
171
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000172 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000173
174 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
175 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000176
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000177 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
178 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
179 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000180 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000181 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
182 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
183 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
184 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
185
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000186 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
187 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
188 find this and helping to chase it down.
189
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100190 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
191 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
192 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
193
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100194 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
195 well as logging them.
196
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000197
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000198version 2.68
199 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
200 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
201 addresses.
202
203 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
204 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
205 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
206 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
207 restarted, this bug disappeared.
208
209 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
210 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
211
212 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
213
214 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
215 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
216 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
217 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
218 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
219 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
220 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
221 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
222 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
223 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
224 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
225 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
226 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000227
228 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
229 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
230 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
231 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000232
233 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
234 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
235
236 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
237 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000238
239 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
240 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
241 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
242 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
243 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000244
245 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
246 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
247 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
248 corresponding address on the local interface.
249
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000250
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100251version 2.67
252 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
253 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
254 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100255
256 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
257 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
258 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
259 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
260 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
261 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
262 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
263 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100264
265 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
266 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
267 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100268
269 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
270 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100271
272 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
273 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100274
275 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
276 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
277 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
278 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
279 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
280 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
281 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
282 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100283
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100284 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
285 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
286 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
287 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
288 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100289
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100290 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
291 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
292
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100293 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
294 spurious error when all seven possible items were
295 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100296
297 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
298 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
299
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100300 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
301 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
302
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100303 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
304 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
305 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
306 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
307 report.
308
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100309 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
310 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
311 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
312
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100313 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero

Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100316 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
317 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
318
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100319 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
320 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
321 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
322 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
323
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100324 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
325 via DBus too.
326
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100327 When the address which triggered the construction of an
328 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
329 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
330 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
331 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
332 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
333 arguing for this.
334
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100335 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith

Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100338 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
339 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
340 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
341 for suggesting this.
342
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100343 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
344 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
345
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100346 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
347 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
348 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
349 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
350 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
351
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100352 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
353 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100354
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100355 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
356 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
357
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100358 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
359 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
360 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
361
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100362 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
363 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
364
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100365 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
366 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
367 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
368 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
369 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100370
371 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
372 address must be either the first or last address in the
373 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
374 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.

Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100393 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
394 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
395 suggestion.
396
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100397 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
398 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
399 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
400 spotting the problem.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000406version 2.66
407 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
408 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
409 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
410 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
411 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
412 servers to be configured.
413
414 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
415 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
416 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
417 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
418 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
419 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
420 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
421 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000422
423 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000424 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
425 patch.
426
427 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
428 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
429 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
430 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
431 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
432 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
433 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000434
435 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
436 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
437 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000438
439 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
440 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000441 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000442 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
443 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
444 bounty for this addition.
445
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000446 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
447 information-requests with some common configurations.
448 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
449 chasing the problem.
450
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000451 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the

453
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000454 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000455 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000456

Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100460 Handle the situation where libc headers define
461 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
462 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
463 Felker for the bug report.

476 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
477 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.

Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100485version 2.64
486 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
487 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
488 spotting the problem.
489
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100490 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
491 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
492 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
493 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
494 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
495 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
496
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100497 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

517
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100518 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
519 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
520 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
521
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100522 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
523 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
524 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
525 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
526
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100527 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
528 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
529 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
530
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100531 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6

533 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
534
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000535 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
536 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
537 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.

546 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
547 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
548 without setting source address and interface, since this

561
562 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
563 stuff is pointless without that.
564
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100565 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100572 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
573 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
574 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
575 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
576 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
577 superceded by other mechanisms.
578
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100579 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host

588 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
589 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
590 the suggestion.

616
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100617 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
618 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee

620
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100621 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when

629 his help nailing this.
630
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000631version 2.61
632 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
633 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
634 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
635 addresses.
636
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100637 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
638 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
639 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
640 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
641 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
642 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000646 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
647 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
648 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100649 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking

Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000652 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
653 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
654 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
655
656 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
657
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000658 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the

Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000661 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
662 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
663 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
664 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
665 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
666 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
667 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
668 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
669 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
670 Gadgil.
671
672 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
673 the above.

678 Forkel.
679
680 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
681 work even if there is no interface carrying the
682 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
683 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
684 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
685 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
686 the idea and initial patch.

690 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
691
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100692 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
693 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
694 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
695 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
696 for existing connections, but new connections will use
697 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
698 renumbering at least possible.

717 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
718 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100719 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

721 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +0100722

Simon Kelleyfc92ead2012-04-22 21:28:24 +0100726 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100727 patch.
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100728
729 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
730 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100731 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina

739 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
740 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100741
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000742 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
743 which is not the primary address of an interface.
744
745 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
746
747 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
748 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
749 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
750 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
751 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
752 implementation.
753
754 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
755 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
756 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
757 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
758 set them from the make command line.
759
760 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
761 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
762
763 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
764 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
765
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000766 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
767 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000768
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000769 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
770 containing many distinct addresses.
771
772 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
773 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
774 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
775 this.
776
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000777 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
778 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
779
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000780 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
781 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
782 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
783 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
784
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000785 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
786 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
787 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
788 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000789 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000790 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
791
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000792 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
793 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
794 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
795 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
796 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
797 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
798 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
799 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
800 These will be added as the standards mature.
801 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
802 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
803 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000804
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000805 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
806 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
807 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
808 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
809 enabling with --enable-ra.
810
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000811 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
812 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
813 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
814 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000815
816 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

819
820
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000821version 2.59
822 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
823 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
824 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
825 report.
826
827 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
828 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
829 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
830 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
831 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
832 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
833 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
834 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
835 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100836
837
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100838version 2.58
839 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
840 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
841
842 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
843 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
844 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
845
846 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
847 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
848 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
849 server-deployment applications need this.
850
851 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
852 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
853 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
854 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
855 in chasing this one down.
856
857 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
858 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
859 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
860 the problem.
861
862 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
863 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
864 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
865 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
866 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
867 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
868
869 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
870 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
871 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
872 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
873 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
874 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
875 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
876 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
877
878 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
879 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
880
881 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
882 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
883 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
884 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
885
886 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
887 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
888
889 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
890 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
891 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
892 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
893 Agrawal for the patch.
894
895 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
896 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
897 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
898 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
899 per-network values. So
900 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
901 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
902 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
903 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
904 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
905 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
906
907 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
908 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
909 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
910 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
911 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
912 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
913 a comprehensive test-case.
914
915 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
916 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100917 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100918
919 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
920 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
921 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
922 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
923 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

929
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000930version 2.57
931 Add patches to allow build under Android.
932
933 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
934 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
935 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
936 effectively empty on Android.
937
938 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
939 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
940 wildcard.
941
942 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
943 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
944 spotting this.
945
946 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
947 IDN support continues to be included automatically
948 when i18n is included.
949 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
950
951 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
952 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
953 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
954
955
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000956version 2.56
957 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
958 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
959
960 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
961 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
962 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
963 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
964
965 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
966 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
967
968 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
969 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
970 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
971
972 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
973 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
974 syslogd.
975
976 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
977 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
978 Petrin for the orignal patch.
979
980 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
981 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
982 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
983
984 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
985 option, on the command line.
986
987 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
988 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
989
990 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
991 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
992 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
993 to John Hallam for the patch.
994
995 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
996 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
997 character chunks instead.
998
999 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1000 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1001 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1002 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1003
1004 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1005 transfer has completed succesfully.
1006
1007 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1008 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1009 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1010 which automatically creates
1011 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1012 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1013
1014 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1015 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1016
1017 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1018 thanks for that.
1019
1020 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1021 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1022 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1023 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1024 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1025 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1026 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1027 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1028 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1029
1030 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1031 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1032 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1033 set.
1034
1035 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1036 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1037
1038 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1039 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1040 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1041
1042 Edit
1043 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1044 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1045 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1046
1047 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1048 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1049 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1050 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1051 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1052 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1053 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1054 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1055 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1056 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1057 So:
1058 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1059 --server=/google.com/#
1060 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1061 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1062 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1063 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1064 William for pointing out the need for this.
1065
1066 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1067 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1068 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1069
1070 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1071 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1072 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1073 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1074
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001075 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1097 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1098 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1099
1100 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1101 generated by gcc 4.4.
1102
1103 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1104 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1105
1106 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1107 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1108 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1109
1110 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1111 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1112 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1113 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1114 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1115 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1116 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1117 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1118 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1119 much less confusing.
1120
1121 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1122 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1123 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1124
1125 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1126
1127 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1128
1129 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1130 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1131 finding this.
1132
1133 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1134 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1135 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1136 from the client.
1137
1138 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1139 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1140 finding this.
1141
1142 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1143 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1144 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1145 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1146 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1147 server-override option.
1148
1149 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1150 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1151 allows a single line of the form
1152 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1153 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1154 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1155 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1156 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1157 interface=<interface>
1158 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1159 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1160 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1161 configuration.
1162
1163 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1164
1165 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1166 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1167
1168 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1169 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1170 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1171 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1172
1173 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1174 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1175 file, not the process/descriptor.
1176
1177 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1178 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1179
1180 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1181 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1182 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1183 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1184 this and testing the fix.
1185
1186 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1187 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1188 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1189
1190 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1191 upstream servers: this allows something like
1192 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1193 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1194 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1195 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1196
1197 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1198 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1199 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1200 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1201 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1202 work on this.
1203
1204 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1205 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1206 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1207 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1208 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1209 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1210 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1211
1212 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1213
1214 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1215 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1216 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1217 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1218 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1219 here.
1220
1221 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1222
1223 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1224 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1225
1226 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1227 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1228 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1229 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1230 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1231
1232 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1233 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1234
1235 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1236 is set.
1237
1238 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1239 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1240
1241 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1242
1243 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1244
1245 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1246
1247 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1248
1249 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1250 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1251 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1252
1253 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1254
1255
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001256version 2.52
1257 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1258 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1259 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1260 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1261 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1262 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1263 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1264 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1265
1266 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1267 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1268 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1269 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1270
1271 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1272 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1273 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1274 when dnsmasq is first started.
1275
1276 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1277 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1278 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1279 with certain clients.
1280
1281 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1282 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1283 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1284
1285 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1286 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1287 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1288 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1289 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1290 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1291 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1292 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1293 numbers delimited by dots.
1294
1295 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1296 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1297
1298 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1299 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1300
1301 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1302 contrib/Solaris10.
1303
1304 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1305 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1306 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1307 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1308 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1309 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1310 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1311
1312 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1313 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1314 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1315 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1316
1317 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1318 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1319 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1320
1321 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1322 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1323 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1324
1325 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1326 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1327 looks like this:
1328 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1329
1330 Add some application specific code to assist in
1331 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1332 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1333
1334 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1335 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1336 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1337 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1338
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001339 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001340 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1341
1342 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1343 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1344 this.
1345
1346 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1347 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1348 providing this.
1349
1350 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1351 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1352
1353 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1354
1355 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1356
1357 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1358
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001359 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1360 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1361 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1362 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001363
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001364
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001365version 2.51
1366 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1367 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1368 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1369 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1370 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1371 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1372 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1373 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1374 suggestion.
1375
1376 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1377 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1378 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1379 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1380 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1381 a DHCP relay, if used.
1382 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1383
1384 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1385 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1386
1387 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1388 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1389 dhcp-option-force.
1390
1391 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1392 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1393 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1394
1395 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1396 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1397 the patch.
1398
1399 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1400
1401 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1402 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1403
1404 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1405 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1406 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1407 suggestion.
1408
1409 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1410 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1411 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1412 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1413 dhcp-optsfile.
1414
1415 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1416 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1417 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1418 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1419 suggestion.
1420
1421 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1422 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1423 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1424 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1425 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1426
1427 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1428 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1429 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1430 fragmented packets.
1431
1432 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1433 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1434
1435 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001438version 2.50
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001439 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001440 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1441 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1442 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1443 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1444 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1445 and CVE: 2009-2957
1446
1447 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1448 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1449 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1450 CVE: 2009-2958
1451
1452
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001453version 2.49
1454 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1455 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1456
1457 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1458 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1459 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1460 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1461
1462 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1463
1464
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001465version 2.48
1466 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1467 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1468 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001469
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001470 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1471 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1472 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001473
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001474 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1475 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1476 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001477
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001478 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1479 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1480 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1481 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001482
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001483 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1484 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001485
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001486 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1487 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1488 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1489 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001490
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001491 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1492 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1493 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001494
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001495 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1496 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1497 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001498
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001499 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001500
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001501 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1502 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1503 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1504 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1505 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1506 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1507 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1508 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1509 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001510
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001511 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1512 useful suggestions.
1513
1514 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1515 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1516 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1517
1518 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1519 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001520
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001521 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001522
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001523
1524version 2.47
1525 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1526
1527 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1528 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1529
1530 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1531 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1532 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1533
1534 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1535 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1536 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1537 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1538 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1539 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1540 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1541 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1542 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1543 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1544 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1545 Krafft for the bug report.
1546
1547 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1548
1549 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1550 Fix for this bug:
1551 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1552
1553 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1554 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1555 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1556 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1557
1558 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1559 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1560
1561 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1562
1563 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1564 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1565 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1566 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1567 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1568
1569 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1570 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1571
1572 No longer complain about blank lines in
1573 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1574
1575 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1576 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1577 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1578 for the bug report.
1579
1580 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1581 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1582 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1583 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1584
1585 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1586 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1587 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1588 as before.
1589 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1590 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1591 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1592
1593 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1594 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1595 Windows even when using supernetting.
1596 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1597 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1598 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1599 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.

1601 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1602
1603 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1604 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1605 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1606 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1607 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1608 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1609 dnsmasq.

1613 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1614 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1615 suggestion.
1616
1617 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1618 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1619 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1620 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1621 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1622
1623 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1624 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1625 based in their IP address.
1626
1627 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1628 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1629 a domain associated with each client, and only
1630 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1631 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1632 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1633 long as they are in different domains.
1634
1635 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1636 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1637 have now that it's variable.
1638
1639 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1640 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1641 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1642 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1643 potential.
1644
1645 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1646 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1647 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1648
1649 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1650 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1651
1652 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1653 which the DHCP request was received.
1654
1655 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1656 Laine for the patch.
1657
1658 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1659 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1660
1661 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1662 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1663 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1664 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1665 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1666 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1667 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1668 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1669 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1670 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1671 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1672
1673 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1674 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1675 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1676 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1677 improvement.
1678
1679 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1680 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1681 suggestions on this.
1682
1683 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1684 Fisher.
1685
1686 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1687
1688 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1689 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1690
1691 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1692
1693 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1694 up" event occurs.

1697version 2.45
1698 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1699 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1700 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1701 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1702
1703
1704version 2.44
1705 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1706 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1707 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1708
1709 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1710 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1711 never been reported in the wild.
1712
1713 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1714 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1715
1716 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1717 is large.
1718
1719 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1720 David Gilman.

1728 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1729 illegally.
1730
1731 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1732
1733 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1734 format.
1735
1736 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1737 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1738 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1739 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1740 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1741
1742 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1743 Rack for the bug report.
1744
1745 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1746 Bergquist.
1747
1748 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1749 option.
1750
1751 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1752 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1753
1754 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1755 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1756
1757 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1758 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1759 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1760 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1761 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1762 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1763 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1764 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1765 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1766 suggestions.
1767
1768 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1769 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1770 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1771
1772 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1773 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1774 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1775 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1776 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1777 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1778 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1779 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1780 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1781 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1782
1783 Replace the random number generator, for better
1784 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1785 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1786 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1787 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1788 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1789 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1790
1791 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1792 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1793 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1794 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1795 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1796
1797 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
