Simon Kelley903df072017-01-19 17:22:00 +00002 Generate an error when configured with a CNAME loop,
Simon Kelley0740e432017-01-26 18:02:54 +00003 rather than a crash. Thanks to George Metz for
Simon Kelley903df072017-01-19 17:22:00 +00004 spotting this problem.

Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +01006 Calculate the length of TFTP error reply packet
7 correctly. This fixes a problem when the error
8 message in a TFTP packet exceeds the arbitrary
9 limit of 500 characters. The message was correctly
10 truncated, but not the packet length, so
11 extra data was appended. This is a possible
12 security risk, since the extra data comes from
13 a buffer which is also used for DNS, so that
14 previous DNS queries or replies may be leaked.
15 Thanks to Mozilla for funding the security audit
16 which spotted this bug.

Ivan Kokshaysky1d076672016-07-11 18:36:05 +010018 Fix logic error in Linux netlink code. This could
19 cause dnsmasq to enter a tight loop on systems
20 with a very large number of network interfaces.
21 Thanks to Ivan Kokshaysky for the diagnosis and
22 patch.
23
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant06093a92016-07-11 21:03:27 +010024 Fix problem with --dnssec-timestamp whereby receipt
25 of SIGHUP would erroneously engage timestamp checking.
26 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for this work.
Simon Kelleyc8328ec2016-08-05 16:54:58 +010027
28 Bump zone serial on reloading /etc/hosts and friends
29 when providing authoritative DNS. Thanks to Harrald
30 Dunkel for spotting this.
Simon Kelley6d950992016-08-11 23:38:54 +010031
32 Handle v4-mapped IPv6 addresses sanely in --synth-domain.
33 These have standard representation like ::ffff:1.2.3.4
34 and are now converted to names like
35 <prefix>--ffff-1-2-3-4.<domain>
36
Beniamino Galvani2675f202016-08-28 20:44:05 +010037 Handle binding upstream servers to an interface
38 (--server=1.2.3.4@eth0) when the named interface
39 is destroyed and recreated in the kernel. Thanks to
40 Beniamino Galvani for the patch.
41
Simon Kelleyb637d782016-12-13 16:44:11 +000042 Allow wildcard CNAME records in authoritative zones.
43 For example --cname=*.example.com,default.example.com
44 Thanks to Pro Backup for sponsoring this development.
45
Simon Kelley09b768e2016-12-22 22:16:58 +000046 Bump the allowed backlog of TCP connections from 5 to 32,
47 and make this a compile-time configurable option. Thanks
48 to Donatas Abraitis for diagnosing this as a potential
49 problem.
50
ZHAO Yuf89cae32016-12-22 22:32:31 +000051 Add DNSMASQ_REQUESTED_OPTIONS environment variable to the
52 lease-change script. Thanks to ZHAO Yu for the patch.
Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +010053
Simon Kelley0740e432017-01-26 18:02:54 +000054 Fix foobar in rrfilter code, that could cause misformed
55 replies, especially when DNSSEC validation on, and
56 the upstream server returns answer with the RRs in a
57 particular order. The only DNS server known to tickle
58 this is Nominum's. Thanks to Dave Täht for spotting the
59 bug and assisting in the fix.
60
ZHAO Yuf89cae32016-12-22 22:32:31 +000061
Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +010062version 2.76
63 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
64 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
65 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
66 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
67 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +010068
69 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
70 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +010071
72 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
73 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
74 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
75 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
76
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +000077 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
78 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
79 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
80 the patch.
81
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +000082 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
83 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
84 for the patch.
85
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +000086 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
87 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
88 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
89 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
90 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
91
92 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
93 not SERVFAIL.
94
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +000095 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
96 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000097
98 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
99 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
100 removal of entries in the ARP or nieghbour tables.
101
102 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
103 as base64, by configurting --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000104
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000105 Add --add-cpe-id option.
106
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000107 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
108 is declared as a whole /64.
109 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
110 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
111
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +0000112 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
113 --cname.
114
115 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000116
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000117 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
118 initial patch.
119
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +0100120 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
121 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
122 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
123 for spotting this.
124
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +0100125 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
126 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
127 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
128
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +0100129 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
130 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
131
132 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
133 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
134
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100135 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
136 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
137 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +0100138 in src/config.h.
139
140 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
141 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
142 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
143 will need to update your config.
144
145 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
146 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100147
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100148 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
149 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
150 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
151 work with these archictectures.
152
153 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
154 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
155 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
156 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
157 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
158 single-item boot menu.
159
160 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
161 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
162
Simon Kelleyda2cad42016-05-18 15:14:08 +0100163 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
164 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
165 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
166 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
167 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
168 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
169 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
170 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
171 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
172 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
173 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
174 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
175 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
176 have a config with a basename which already has a
177 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
178 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
179 name.suffix

Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +0100182version 2.75
183 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
184 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
185 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
186
187
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +0100188version 2.74
189 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
190 read the default file, rather than no file.
191
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100192 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
193 not SEGV in some circumstances.
194
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100195 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
196 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
197 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
198
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100199
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100200version 2.73
201 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
202 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
203 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000204
205 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
206 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
207 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
208
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000209 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
210 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000211 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
212 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
213 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000214
215 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
216 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
217 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000218
219 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
220 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
221 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
222 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000223
224 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
225 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000226
227 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
228 queries which include the specified address. No error is
229 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
230 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
231 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
232 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
233 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000234
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000235 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
236 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
237 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
238 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
239 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
240 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
241 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
242 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100243
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000244 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
245 to search automatically.
246
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000247 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
248 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
249 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
250 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
251 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
252 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000253
254 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
255 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
256 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000257
258 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
259 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
260 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
261 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000262
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000263 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
264 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
265 for the patch.
266
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000267 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000268
269 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100270 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
271 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
272 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
273 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100274
275 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
276 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100277
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100278 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
279 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
280 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
281 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
282 sterling work chasing this down.
283
284 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
285 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100286 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
287 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
288 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100289
290 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
291 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
292 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
293 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
294 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
295 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
296 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
297 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100298
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100299 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
300 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
301 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
302 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
303 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
304 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100305 pointing out the problem.
306
307 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
308 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
309 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100310
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100311 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
312 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
313 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
314 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
315 change permanent.
316
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100317 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
318 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
319
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100320 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
321 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
322
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100323 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
324 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
325 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
326 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100327
328 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
329 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100330
331 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the
332 "on-link" bit set. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
333
334 Extend --bridge-interface to DHCPv6 and router
335 advertisements. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100336

Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +0100339 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
340
341 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
342 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100343
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100344 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
345 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
346 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100347
348 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
349 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100350
351 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
352 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100353
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100354 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
355 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
356 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
357 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
358 patch.
359
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100360 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
361 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
362 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
363 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
364 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.

Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100371 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
372 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100373
374 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
375 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
376 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.

383 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
384 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
385 non-existent DS records.
386
387 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
388 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
389 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
390 report.

401 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
402 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
403 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
404

410 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
411 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
412 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
413 valuable research on how to implement this.

Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000415 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain

Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000418 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like

420 for spotting the problem.
421
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000422 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
423 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
424 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
425 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
426 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
427
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000428 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
429 compiled with this enabled, with
430
431 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
432
433 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
434 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
435 statically with
436
437 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
438
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100439 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
440 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
441
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000442 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
443 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
444 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
445 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
446 distribution. You should of course check that these are
447 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
448
449 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
450 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000451
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000452 to your config is all thats needed to get things
453 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
454 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
455 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
456 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
457 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
458 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
459 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
460 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
461 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
462 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
463 records, which significantly improve the performance of
464 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
465 DNSSEC in action.
466
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100467 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
468 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
469 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
470 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
471 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
472 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
473 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
474 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
475 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
476 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
477 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
478 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
479 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
480 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
481 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
482 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
483
484 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
485 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
486 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
487 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
488 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
489 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
490 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
491 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
492 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
493 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
494 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
495 henceforward will be complete.
496
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000497 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
498 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
499 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
500 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
501 a workable state.
502
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000503 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.

Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000508 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
509 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
510 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000511 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000512 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
513 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
514 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
515 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
516
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000517 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs

519 find this and helping to chase it down.
520
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100521 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
522 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
523 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
524
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100525 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as

530 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
531 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
532 addresses.
533
534 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
535 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
536 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
537 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
538 restarted, this bug disappeared.
539
540 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
541 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
542
543 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
544
545 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
546 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
547 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
548 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
549 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
550 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
551 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
552 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
553 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
554 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
555 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
556 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
557 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000558
559 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
560 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
561 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
562 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000563

568 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000569
570 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
571 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
572 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
573 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
574 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000575
576 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
577 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
578 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
579 corresponding address on the local interface.

585 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100586
587 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
588 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
589 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
590 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
591 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
592 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
593 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
594 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100595

606 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
607 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
608 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
609 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
610 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
611 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
612 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
613 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100615 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket

Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100634 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
635 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
636 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
637 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug

659 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
660 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
661 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
662 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
663 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
664 arguing for this.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000737version 2.66
738 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
739 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
740 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
741 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
742 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
743 servers to be configured.
744
745 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
746 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
747 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
748 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
749 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
750 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
751 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
752 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000753
754 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000755 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
756 patch.
757
758 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
759 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
760 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
761 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
762 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
763 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
764 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000765
766 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
767 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
768 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000769
770 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
771 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000772 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000773 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
774 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
775 bounty for this addition.
776
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000777 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
778 information-requests with some common configurations.
779 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
780 chasing the problem.
781
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000782 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
783 patch.
784
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000785 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000786 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000787
788 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
789 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000790
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100791 Handle the situation where libc headers define
792 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
793 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
794 Felker for the bug report.

799 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
800 the bug report.

806 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
807 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
808 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
809
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000810 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to

813 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000814
815
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100816version 2.64
817 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
818 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
819 spotting the problem.
820
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100821 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
822 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
823 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
824 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
825 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
826 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
827
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100828 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

847 for the patch.
848
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100849 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
850 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
851 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
852
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100853 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
854 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
855 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
856 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
857
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100858 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
859 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
860 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
861
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100862 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
863 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
864 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
865
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000866 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
867 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
868 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000869
870 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
871 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000872
873 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
874 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
875 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000876
877 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
878 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
879 without setting source address and interface, since this
880 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
881 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
882
883 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
884 dhcp-range on a subnet.

891 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
892
893 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
894 stuff is pointless without that.
895
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100896 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
897 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
898 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100899
900 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
901 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100902
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100903 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
904 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
905 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
906 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
907 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
908 superceded by other mechanisms.
909
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100910 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
911 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100918 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
919 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
920 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
921 the suggestion.
922
923 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
924 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
925 spotted the ommission.

942 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
943
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100944 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
945 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
946 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
947
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100948 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
949 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
950 for spotting this.
951
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100952 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
953 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
954 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
955
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100956 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
957
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100958 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
959 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
960 his help nailing this.
961
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000962version 2.61
963 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
964 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
965 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
966 addresses.
967
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100968 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
969 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
970 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
971 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
972 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
973 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000974
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000975 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
976
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000977 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
978 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
979 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100980 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000981 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000982
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000983 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
984 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
985 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
986
987 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
988
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000989 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
990 suggestion.
991
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000992 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
993 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
994 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
995 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
996 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
997 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
998 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
999 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
1000 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
1001 Gadgil.
1002
1003 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
1004 the above.
1005
1006 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
1007 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +00001008 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
1009 Forkel.
1010
1011 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
1012 work even if there is no interface carrying the
1013 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
1014 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
1015 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
1016 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
1017 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +00001019 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
1020 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
1021 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
1022
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001023 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
1024 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
1025 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
1026 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
1027 for existing connections, but new connections will use
1028 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
1029 renumbering at least possible.
1030
1031 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001032 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001072
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001073 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
1074 which is not the primary address of an interface.
1075
1076 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
1077
1078 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1079 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1080 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1081 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1082 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1083 implementation.
1084
1085 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1086 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1087 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1088 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1089 set them from the make command line.
1090
1091 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1092 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
1093
1094 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1095 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
1096
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +00001097 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
1098 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001099
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001100 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1101 containing many distinct addresses.
1102
1103 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1104 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1105 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1106 this.
1107
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001108 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1109 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
1110
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001111 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1112 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1113 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1114 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1115
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001116 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1117 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1118 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1119 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001120 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001121 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1122
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001123 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1124 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1125 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1126 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1127 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1128 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1129 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1130 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1131 These will be added as the standards mature.
1132 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1133 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1134 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001135
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001136 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1137 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1138 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1139 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1140 enabling with --enable-ra.
1141
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001142 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1143 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1144 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1145 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +00001146
1147 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1150
1151
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001152version 2.59
1153 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1154 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1155 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1156 report.
1157
1158 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1159 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1160 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1161 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1162 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1163 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1164 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1165 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1166 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001167
1168
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001169version 2.58
1170 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1171 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1172
1173 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1174 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1175 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1176
1177 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1178 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1179 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1180 server-deployment applications need this.
1181
1182 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1183 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1184 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1185 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1186 in chasing this one down.
1187
1188 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1189 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1190 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1191 the problem.
1192
1193 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1194 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1195 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1196 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1197 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1198 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1199
1200 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1201 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1202 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1203 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1204 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1205 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1206 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1207 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1208
1209 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1210 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1211
1212 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1213 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1214 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1215 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1216
1217 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1218 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1219
1220 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1221 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1222 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1223 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1224 Agrawal for the patch.
1225
1226 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1227 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1228 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1229 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1230 per-network values. So
1231 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1232 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1233 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1234 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1235 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1236 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1237
1238 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1239 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1240 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1241 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1242 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1243 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1244 a comprehensive test-case.
1245
1246 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1247 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001248 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001249
1250 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1251 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1252 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1253 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1254 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
1255
1256 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.

1260
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001261version 2.57
1262 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1263
1264 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1265 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1266 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1267 effectively empty on Android.
1268
1269 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1270 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1271 wildcard.
1272
1273 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1274 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1275 spotting this.
1276
1277 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1278 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1279 when i18n is included.
1280 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1281
1282 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1283 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1284 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1285
1286
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001287version 2.56
1288 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1289 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1290
1291 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1292 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1293 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1294 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1295
1296 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1297 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1298
1299 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1300 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1301 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1302
1303 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1304 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1305 syslogd.
1306
1307 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1308 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1309 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1310
1311 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1312 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1313 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1314
1315 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1316 option, on the command line.
1317
1318 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1319 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1320
1321 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1322 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1323 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1324 to John Hallam for the patch.
1325
1326 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1327 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1328 character chunks instead.
1329
1330 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1331 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1332 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1333 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1334
1335 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1336 transfer has completed succesfully.
1337
1338 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1339 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1340 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1341 which automatically creates
1342 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1343 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1344
1345 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1346 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1347
1348 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1349 thanks for that.
1350
1351 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1352 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1353 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1354 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1355 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1356 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1357 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1358 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1359 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1360
1361 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1362 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1363 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1364 set.
1365
1366 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1367 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1368
1369 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1370 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1371 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1372
1373 Edit
1374 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1375 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1376 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1377
1378 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1379 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1380 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1381 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1382 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1383 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1384 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1385 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1386 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1387 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1388 So:
1389 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1390 --server=/google.com/#
1391 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1392 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1393 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1394 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1395 William for pointing out the need for this.
1396
1397 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1398 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1399 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1400
1401 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1402 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1403 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1404 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1405
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001406 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1428 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1429 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1430
1431 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1432 generated by gcc 4.4.
1433
1434 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1435 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1436
1437 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1438 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1439 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1440
1441 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1442 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1443 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1444 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1445 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1446 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1447 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1448 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1449 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1450 much less confusing.
1451
1452 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1453 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1454 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1455
1456 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1457
1458 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1459
1460 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1461 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1462 finding this.
1463
1464 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1465 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1466 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1467 from the client.
1468
1469 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1470 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1471 finding this.
1472
1473 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1474 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1475 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1476 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1477 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1478 server-override option.
1479
1480 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1481 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1482 allows a single line of the form
1483 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1484 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1485 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1486 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1487 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1488 interface=<interface>
1489 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1490 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1491 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1492 configuration.
1493
1494 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1495
1496 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1497 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1498
1499 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1500 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1501 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1502 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1503
1504 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1505 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1506 file, not the process/descriptor.
1507
1508 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1509 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1510
1511 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1512 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1513 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1514 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1515 this and testing the fix.
1516
1517 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1518 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1519 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1520
1521 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1522 upstream servers: this allows something like
1523 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1524 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1525 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1526 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1527
1528 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1529 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1530 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1531 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1532 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1533 work on this.
1534
1535 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1536 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1537 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1538 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1539 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1540 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1541 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1542
1543 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1544
1545 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1546 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1547 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1548 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1549 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1550 here.
1551
1552 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1553
1554 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1555 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1556
1557 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1558 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1559 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1560 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1561 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1562
1563 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1564 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1565
1566 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1567 is set.
1568
1569 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1570 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1571
1572 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1573
1574 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1575
1576 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1577
1578 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1579
1580 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1581 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1582 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1583
1584 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1585
1586
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001587version 2.52
1588 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1589 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1590 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1591 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1592 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1593 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1594 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1595 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1596
1597 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1598 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1599 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1600 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1601
1602 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1603 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1604 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1605 when dnsmasq is first started.
1606
1607 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1608 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1609 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1610 with certain clients.
1611
1612 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1613 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1614 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1615
1616 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1617 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1618 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1619 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1620 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1621 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1622 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1623 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1624 numbers delimited by dots.
1625
1626 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1627 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1628
1629 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1630 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1631
1632 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1633 contrib/Solaris10.
1634
1635 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1636 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1637 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1638 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1639 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1640 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1641 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1642
1643 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1644 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1645 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1646 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1647
1648 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1649 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1650 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1651
1652 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1653 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1654 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1655
1656 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1657 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1658 looks like this:
1659 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1660
1661 Add some application specific code to assist in
1662 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1663 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1664
1665 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1666 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1667 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1668 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1669
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001670 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001671 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1672
1673 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1674 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1675 this.
1676
1677 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1678 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1679 providing this.
1680
1681 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1682 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1683
1684 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1685
1686 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1687
1688 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1689
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001690 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1691 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1692 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1693 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001694
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001695
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001696version 2.51
1697 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1698 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1699 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1700 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1701 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1702 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1703 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1704 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1705 suggestion.
1706
1707 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1708 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1709 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1710 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1711 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1712 a DHCP relay, if used.
1713 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1714
1715 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1716 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1717
1718 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1719 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1720 dhcp-option-force.
1721
1722 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1723 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1724 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1725
1726 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1727 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1728 the patch.
1729
1730 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1731
1732 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1733 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1734
1735 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1736 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1737 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1738 suggestion.
1739
1740 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1741 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1742 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1743 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1744 dhcp-optsfile.
1745
1746 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1747 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1748 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1749 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1750 suggestion.
1751
1752 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1753 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1754 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1755 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1756 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1757
1758 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1759 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1760 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1761 fragmented packets.
1762
1763 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1764 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1765
1766 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001770 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001771 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1772 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1773 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1774 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1775 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1776 and CVE: 2009-2957
1777
1778 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1779 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1780 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1781 CVE: 2009-2958

1783
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001784version 2.49
1785 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1786 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1787
1788 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1789 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1790 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1791 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1792
1793 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1795
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001796version 2.48
1797 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1798 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1799 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001800
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001801 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1802 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1803 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001804
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001805 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1806 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1807 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001808
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001809 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1810 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1811 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1812 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001813
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001814 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1815 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001816
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001817 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1818 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1819 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1820 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001821
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001822 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1823 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1824 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001825
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001826 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1827 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1828 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001829
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001830 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001831
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001832 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1833 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1834 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1835 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1836 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1837 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1838 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1839 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1840 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001841
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001842 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1843 useful suggestions.
1844
1845 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1846 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1847 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1848
1849 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1850 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001851
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001852 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1855version 2.47
1856 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1857
1858 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1859 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1860
1861 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1862 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1863 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1864
1865 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1866 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1867 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1868 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1869 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1870 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1871 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1872 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1873 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1874 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1875 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1876 Krafft for the bug report.
1877
1878 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1879
1880 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1881 Fix for this bug:
1882 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1883
1884 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1885 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1886 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1887 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1888
1889 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1890 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1891
1892 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1893
1894 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1895 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1896 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1897 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1898 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1899
1900 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1901 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1902
1903 No longer complain about blank lines in
1904 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1905
1906 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1907 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1908 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1909 for the bug report.
1910
1911 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1912 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1913 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1914 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1915
1916 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1917 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1918 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1919 as before.
1920 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1921 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1922 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1923
1924 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1925 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1926 Windows even when using supernetting.
1927 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1928 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1929 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1930 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1931
1932 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1933
1934 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1935 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1936 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1937 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1938 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1939 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1940 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001941

1943version 2.46
1944 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1945 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1946 suggestion.
1947
1948 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1949 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1950 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1951 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1952 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1953
1954 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1955 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1956 based in their IP address.
1957
1958 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1959 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1960 a domain associated with each client, and only
1961 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1962 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1963 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1964 long as they are in different domains.
1965
1966 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1967 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1968 have now that it's variable.
1969
1970 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1971 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1972 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1973 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1974 potential.
1975
1976 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1977 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1978 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1979
1980 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1981 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1982
1983 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1984 which the DHCP request was received.
1985
1986 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1987 Laine for the patch.
1988
1989 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1990 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1991
1992 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1993 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1994 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1995 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1996 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1997 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1998 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1999 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
2000 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
2001 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
2002 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
2003
2004 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
2005 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
2006 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
2007 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
2008 improvement.
2009
2010 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
2011 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
2012 suggestions on this.
2013
2014 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
2015 Fisher.
2016
2017 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2018
2019 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
2020 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
2021
2022 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
2023
2024 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
2025 up" event occurs.
2026
2027
2028version 2.45
2029 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
2030 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
2031 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
2032 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
2033
2034
2035version 2.44
2036 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
2037 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
2038 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
2039
2040 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
2041 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
2042 never been reported in the wild.
2043
2044 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
2045 Jean Wolter for finding this.
2046
2047 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
2048 is large.
2049
2050 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
2051 David Gilman.
2052
2053 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
2054
2055
2056version 2.43
2057 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2058
2059 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
2060 illegally.
2061
2062 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
2063
2064 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
2065 format.
2066
2067 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2068 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2069 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2070 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2071 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
2072
2073 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
2074 Rack for the bug report.
2075
2076 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
2077 Bergquist.
2078
2079 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
2080 option.
2081
2082 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2083 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
2084
2085 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2086 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
2087
2088 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2089 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2090 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2091 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2092 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2093 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2094 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2095 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2096 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2097 suggestions.
2098
2099 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2100 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2101 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2102
2103 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2104 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2105 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2106 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2107 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2108 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2109 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2110 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2111 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2112 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2113
2114 Replace the random number generator, for better
2115 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2116 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2117 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2118 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2119 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2120 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2121
2122 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2123 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2124 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2125 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2126 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2127
2128 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
