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

Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +00007 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +00008 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.

Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +000010 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
11 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
12 for spotting the problem.
13
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +000014 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
15 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
16 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
17 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
18 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.

Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000020 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
21 compiled with this enabled, with
22
23 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
24
25 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
26 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
27 statically with
28
29 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
30
31 which bloats the dnsmasq binary to over a megabyte, but
32 saves the size of the shared libraries which are five
33 times that size.
34 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
35 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
36 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
37 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
38 distribution. You should of course check that these are
39 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
40
41 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
42 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +000043
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000044 to your config is all thats needed to get things
45 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
46 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
47 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
48 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
49 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
50 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
51 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
52 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
53 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
54 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
55 records, which significantly improve the performance of
56 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
57 DNSSEC in action.
58
59 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
60 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
61 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
62 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
63 a workable state.
64
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +000065 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +000066
67 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
68 full access to configuration.

Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +000070 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
71 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
72 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +000073 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +000074 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
75 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
76 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
77 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
78
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +000079 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
80 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
81 find this and helping to chase it down.
82
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +010083 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
84 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
85 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.

89 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
90 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
91 addresses.
92
93 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
94 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
95 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
96 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
97 restarted, this bug disappeared.
98
99 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
100 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
101
102 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
103
104 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
105 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
106 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
107 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
108 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
109 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
110 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
111 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
112 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
113 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
114 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
115 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
116 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000117
118 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
119 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
120 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
121 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000122
123 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
124 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
125
126 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
127 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000128
129 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
130 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
131 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
132 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
133 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000134
135 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
136 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
137 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
138 corresponding address on the local interface.

142 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
143 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
144 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100145
146 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
147 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
148 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
149 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
150 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
151 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
152 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
153 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100154
155 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
156 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
157 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100158
159 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
160 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100161
162 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
163 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100164
165 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
166 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
167 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
168 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
169 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
170 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
171 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
172 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100173
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100174 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
175 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
176 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
177 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
178 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100179
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100180 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
181 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.

Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100183 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
184 spurious error when all seven possible items were
185 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100186
187 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks

189
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100190 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
191 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
192
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100193 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
194 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
195 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
196 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
197 report.

Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100206 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
207 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
208
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100209 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
210 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
211 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
212 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
213
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100214 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
215 via DBus too.
216
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100217 When the address which triggered the construction of an
218 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
219 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
220 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
221 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
222 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
223 arguing for this.
224
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100225 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith

229 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
230 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
231 for suggesting this.
232
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100233 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
234 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
235
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100236 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
237 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
238 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
239 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
240 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
241
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100242 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
243 for sponsoring this development.

254
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100255 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
256 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
257 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
258 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
259 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100260
261 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
262 address must be either the first or last address in the
263 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
264 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000296version 2.66
297 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
298 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
299 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
300 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
301 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
302 servers to be configured.
303
304 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
305 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
306 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
307 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
308 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
309 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
310 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
311 this idea.

317 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
318 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
319 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
320 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
321 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
322 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
323 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.

Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000331 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000332 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
333 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a

335
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000336 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6

365 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
366 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
367 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
368
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000369 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
370 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000371
372 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000373
374
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100375version 2.64
376 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
377 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
378 spotting the problem.
379
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100380 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
381 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
382 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
383 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
384 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
385 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
386
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100387 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
388 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
389
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100390 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
391 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
392
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100393 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
394 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
395
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000396 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan

398
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000399 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
400 Roy Marples for the patch.
401
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100402 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
403 Rodriguez for the patch.

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100405 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
406 for the patch.
407
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100408 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
409 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
410 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
411
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100412 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
413 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
414 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
415 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
416
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100417 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
418 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
419 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
420
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100421 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
422 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
423 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
424
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000425 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
426 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
427 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000428
429 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
430 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000431
432 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
433 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
434 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000435
436 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
437 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
438 without setting source address and interface, since this
439 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
440 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
441
442 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
443 dhcp-range on a subnet.

448
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100449 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
450 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
451
452 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
453 stuff is pointless without that.
454
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100455 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
456 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
457 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100458
459 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
460 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100461
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100462 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
463 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
464 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
465 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
466 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
467 superceded by other mechanisms.
468
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100469 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
470 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
471
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100472 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
473 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
474
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100475 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100476
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100477 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
478 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
479 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
480 the suggestion.
481
482 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
483 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
484 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100485

Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100488 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
489 which overrides the default,
490 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
491 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
492
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100493 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
494 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.

Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100500 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
501 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
502
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100503 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
504 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
505 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
506
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100507 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
508 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
509 for spotting this.
510
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100511 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
512 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
513 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
514
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100515 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
516
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100517 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
518 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
519 his help nailing this.
520
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000521version 2.61
522 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
523 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
524 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
525 addresses.
526
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100527 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
528 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
529 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
530 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
531 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
532 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000533
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000534 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
535
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000536 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
537 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
538 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100539 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000540 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000541
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000542 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
543 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
544 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
545
546 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
547
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000548 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
549 suggestion.
550
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000551 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
552 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
553 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
554 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
555 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
556 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
557 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
558 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
559 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
560 Gadgil.
561
562 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
563 the above.
564
565 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
566 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000567 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
568 Forkel.
569
570 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
571 work even if there is no interface carrying the
572 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
573 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
574 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
575 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
576 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000577
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000578 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
579 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
580 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
581
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100582 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
583 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
584 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
585 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
586 for existing connections, but new connections will use
587 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
588 renumbering at least possible.
589
590 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100591 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100592
593 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100600 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it

Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100606 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
607 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
608 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100609 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100631
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000632 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
633 which is not the primary address of an interface.
634
635 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
636
637 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
638 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
639 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
640 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
641 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
642 implementation.
643
644 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
645 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
646 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
647 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
648 set them from the make command line.
649
650 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
651 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
652
653 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
654 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000659 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
660 containing many distinct addresses.
661
662 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
663 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
664 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
665 this.
666
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000667 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
668 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
669
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000670 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
671 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
672 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
673 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
674
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000675 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
676 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
677 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
678 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000679 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000680 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
681
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000682 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
683 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
684 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
685 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
686 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
687 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
688 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
689 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
690 These will be added as the standards mature.
691 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
692 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
693 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000694
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000695 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
696 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
697 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
698 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
699 enabling with --enable-ra.
700
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000701 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that

703 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
704 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

713 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
714 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
715 report.
716
717 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
718 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
719 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
720 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
721 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
722 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
723 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
724 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
725 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

729 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
730 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
731
732 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
733 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
734 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
735
736 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
737 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
738 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
739 server-deployment applications need this.
740
741 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
742 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
743 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
744 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
745 in chasing this one down.
746
747 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
748 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
749 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
750 the problem.
751
752 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
753 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
754 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
755 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
756 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
757 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
758
759 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
760 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
761 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
762 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
763 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
764 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
765 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
766 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
767
768 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
769 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
770
771 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
772 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
773 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
774 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
775
776 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
777 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
778
779 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
780 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
781 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
782 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
783 Agrawal for the patch.
784
785 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
786 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
787 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
788 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
789 per-network values. So
790 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
791 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
792 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
793 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
794 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
795 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
796
797 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
798 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
799 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
800 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
801 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
802 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
803 a comprehensive test-case.
804
805 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
806 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100807 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100808
809 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
810 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
811 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
812 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
813 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
814
815 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
816
817 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
818
819
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000820version 2.57
821 Add patches to allow build under Android.
822
823 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
824 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
825 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
826 effectively empty on Android.
827
828 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
829 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
830 wildcard.
831
832 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
833 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
834 spotting this.
835
836 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
837 IDN support continues to be included automatically
838 when i18n is included.
839 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
840
841 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
842 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
843 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
844
845
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000846version 2.56
847 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
848 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
849
850 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
851 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
852 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
853 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
854
855 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
856 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
857
858 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
859 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
860 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
861
862 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
863 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
864 syslogd.
865
866 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
867 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
868 Petrin for the orignal patch.
869
870 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
871 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
872 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
873
874 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
875 option, on the command line.
876
877 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
878 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
879
880 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
881 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
882 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
883 to John Hallam for the patch.
884
885 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
886 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
887 character chunks instead.
888
889 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
890 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
891 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
892 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
893
894 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
895 transfer has completed succesfully.
896
897 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
898 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
899 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
900 which automatically creates
901 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
902 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
903
904 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
905 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
906
907 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
908 thanks for that.
909
910 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
911 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
912 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
913 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
914 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
915 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
916 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
917 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
918 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
919
920 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
921 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
922 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
923 set.
924
925 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
926 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
927
928 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
929 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
930 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
931
932 Edit
933 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
934 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
935 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
936
937 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
938 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
939 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
940 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
941 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
942 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
943 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
944 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
945 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
946 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
947 So:
948 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
949 --server=/google.com/#
950 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
951 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
952 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
953 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
954 William for pointing out the need for this.
955
956 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
957 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
958 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
959
960 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
961 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
962 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
963 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
964
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000965 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100986version 2.53
987 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
988 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
989
990 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
991 generated by gcc 4.4.
992
993 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
994 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
995
996 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
997 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
998 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
999
1000 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1001 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1002 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1003 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1004 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1005 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1006 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1007 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1008 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1009 much less confusing.
1010
1011 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1012 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1013 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1014
1015 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1016
1017 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1018
1019 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1020 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1021 finding this.
1022
1023 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1024 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1025 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1026 from the client.
1027
1028 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1029 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1030 finding this.
1031
1032 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1033 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1034 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1035 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1036 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1037 server-override option.
1038
1039 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1040 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1041 allows a single line of the form
1042 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1043 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1044 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1045 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1046 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1047 interface=<interface>
1048 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1049 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1050 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1051 configuration.
1052
1053 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1054
1055 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1056 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1057
1058 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1059 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1060 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1061 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1062
1063 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1064 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1065 file, not the process/descriptor.
1066
1067 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1068 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1069
1070 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1071 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1072 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1073 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1074 this and testing the fix.
1075
1076 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1077 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1078 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1079
1080 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1081 upstream servers: this allows something like
1082 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1083 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1084 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1085 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1086
1087 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1088 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1089 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1090 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1091 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1092 work on this.
1093
1094 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1095 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1096 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1097 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1098 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1099 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1100 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1101
1102 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1103
1104 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1105 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1106 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1107 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1108 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1109 here.
1110
1111 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1112
1113 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1114 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1115
1116 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1117 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1118 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1119 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1120 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1121
1122 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1123 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1124
1125 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1126 is set.
1127
1128 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1129 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1130
1131 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1132
1133 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1134
1135 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1136
1137 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1138
1139 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1140 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1141 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1142
1143 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1144
1145
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001146version 2.52
1147 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1148 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1149 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1150 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1151 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1152 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1153 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1154 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1155
1156 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1157 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1158 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1159 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1160
1161 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1162 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1163 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1164 when dnsmasq is first started.
1165
1166 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1167 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1168 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1169 with certain clients.
1170
1171 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1172 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1173 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1174
1175 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1176 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1177 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1178 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1179 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1180 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1181 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1182 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1183 numbers delimited by dots.
1184
1185 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1186 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1187
1188 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1189 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1190
1191 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1192 contrib/Solaris10.
1193
1194 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1195 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1196 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1197 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1198 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1199 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1200 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1201
1202 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1203 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1204 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1205 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1206
1207 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1208 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1209 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1210
1211 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1212 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1213 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1214
1215 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1216 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1217 looks like this:
1218 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1219
1220 Add some application specific code to assist in
1221 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1222 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1223
1224 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1225 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1226 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1227 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1228
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001229 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001230 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1231
1232 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1233 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1234 this.
1235
1236 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1237 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1238 providing this.
1239
1240 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1241 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1242
1243 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1244
1245 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1246
1247 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1248
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001249 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1250 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1251 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1252 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001253
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001254
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001255version 2.51
1256 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1257 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1258 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1259 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1260 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1261 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1262 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1263 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1264 suggestion.
1265
1266 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1267 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1268 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1269 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1270 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1271 a DHCP relay, if used.
1272 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1273
1274 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1275 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1276
1277 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1278 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1279 dhcp-option-force.
1280
1281 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1282 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1283 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1284
1285 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1286 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1287 the patch.
1288
1289 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1290
1291 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1292 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1293
1294 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1295 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1296 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1297 suggestion.
1298
1299 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1300 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1301 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1302 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1303 dhcp-optsfile.
1304
1305 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1306 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1307 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1308 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1309 suggestion.
1310
1311 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1312 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1313 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1314 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1315 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1316
1317 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1318 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1319 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1320 fragmented packets.
1321
1322 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1323 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1324
1325 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001329 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001330 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1331 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1332 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1333 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1334 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1335 and CVE: 2009-2957
1336
1337 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1338 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1339 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1340 CVE: 2009-2958
1341
1342
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001343version 2.49
1344 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1345 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1346
1347 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1348 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1349 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1350 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1351
1352 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001355version 2.48
1356 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1357 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1358 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001359
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001360 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1361 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1362 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001363
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001364 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1365 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1366 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001367
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001368 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1369 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1370 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1371 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001372
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001373 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1374 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001375
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001376 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1377 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1378 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1379 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001380
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001381 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1382 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1383 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001384
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001385 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1386 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1387 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001388
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001389 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001390
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001391 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1392 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1393 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1394 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1395 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1396 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1397 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1398 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1399 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001400
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001401 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1402 useful suggestions.
1403
1404 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1405 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1406 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1407
1408 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1409 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001410
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001411 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001413
1414version 2.47
1415 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1416
1417 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1418 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1419
1420 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1421 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1422 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1423
1424 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1425 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1426 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1427 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1428 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1429 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1430 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1431 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1432 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1433 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1434 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1435 Krafft for the bug report.
1436
1437 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1438
1439 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1440 Fix for this bug:
1441 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1442
1443 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1444 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1445 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1446 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1447
1448 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1449 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1450
1451 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1452
1453 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1454 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1455 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1456 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1457 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1458
1459 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1460 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1461
1462 No longer complain about blank lines in
1463 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1464
1465 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1466 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1467 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1468 for the bug report.
1469
1470 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1471 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1472 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1473 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1474
1475 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1476 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1477 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1478 as before.
1479 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1480 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1481 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1482
1483 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1484 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1485 Windows even when using supernetting.
1486 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1487 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1488 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1489 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1490
1491 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1492
1493 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1494 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1495 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1496 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1497 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1498 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1499 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001500
1501
1502version 2.46
1503 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1504 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1505 suggestion.
1506
1507 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1508 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1509 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1510 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1511 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1512
1513 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1514 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1515 based in their IP address.
1516
1517 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1518 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1519 a domain associated with each client, and only
1520 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1521 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1522 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1523 long as they are in different domains.
1524
1525 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1526 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1527 have now that it's variable.
1528
1529 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1530 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1531 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1532 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1533 potential.
1534
1535 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1536 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1537 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1538
1539 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1540 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1541
1542 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1543 which the DHCP request was received.
1544
1545 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1546 Laine for the patch.
1547
1548 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1549 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1550
1551 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1552 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1553 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1554 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1555 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1556 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1557 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1558 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1559 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1560 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1561 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1562
1563 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1564 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1565 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1566 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1567 improvement.
1568
1569 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1570 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1571 suggestions on this.
1572
1573 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1574 Fisher.
1575
1576 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1577
1578 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1579 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1580
1581 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1582
1583 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1584 up" event occurs.
1585
1586
1587version 2.45
1588 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1589 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1590 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1591 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1592
1593
1594version 2.44
1595 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1596 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1597 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1598
1599 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1600 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1601 never been reported in the wild.
1602
1603 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1604 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1605
1606 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1607 is large.
1608
1609 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1610 David Gilman.
1611
1612 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1613

1615version 2.43
1616 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1617
1618 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1619 illegally.
1620
1621 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1622
1623 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1624 format.
1625
1626 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1627 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1628 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1629 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1630 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1631
1632 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1633 Rack for the bug report.
1634
1635 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1636 Bergquist.
1637
1638 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1639 option.
1640
1641 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1642 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1643
1644 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1645 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1646
1647 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1648 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1649 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1650 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1651 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1652 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1653 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1654 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1655 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1656 suggestions.
1657
1658 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1659 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1660 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1661
1662 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1663 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1664 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1665 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1666 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1667 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1668 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1669 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1670 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1671 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1672
1673 Replace the random number generator, for better
1674 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1675 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1676 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1677 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1678 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1679 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1680
1681 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1682 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1683 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1684 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1685 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1686
1687 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
