Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +01001version 2.76
2 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
3 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
4 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
5 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
6 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +01007
8 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
9 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +010010
11 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
12 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
13 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
14 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
15
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +000016 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
17 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
18 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
19 the patch.
20
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +000021 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
22 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
23 for the patch.
24
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +000025 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
26 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
27 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
28 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
29 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
30
31 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
32 not SERVFAIL.
33
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +000034 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
35 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000036
37 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
38 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
39 removal of entries in the ARP or nieghbour tables.
40
41 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
42 as base64, by configurting --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000043
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000044 Add --add-cpe-id option.
45
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000046 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
47 is declared as a whole /64.
48 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
49 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
50
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +000051 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
52 --cname.
53
54 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000055
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +000056 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
57 initial patch.
58
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +010059 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
60 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
61 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
62 for spotting this.
63
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +010064 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
65 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
66 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
67
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +000068
Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +010069version 2.75
70 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
71 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
72 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
73
74
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +010075version 2.74
76 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
77 read the default file, rather than no file.
78
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +010079 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
80 not SEGV in some circumstances.
81
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +010082 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
83 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
84 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
85
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +010086
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +010087version 2.73
88 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
89 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
90 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +000091
92 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
93 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
94 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
95
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +000096 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
97 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +000098 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
99 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
100 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000101
102 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
103 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
104 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000105
106 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
107 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
108 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
109 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000110
111 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
112 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000113
114 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
115 queries which include the specified address. No error is
116 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
117 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
118 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
119 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
120 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000121
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000122 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
123 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
124 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
125 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
126 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
127 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
128 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
129 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100130
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000131 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
132 to search automatically.
133
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000134 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
135 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
136 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
137 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
138 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
139 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000140
141 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
142 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
143 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000144
145 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
146 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
147 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
148 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000149
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000150 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
151 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
152 for the patch.
153
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000154 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000155
156 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100157 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
158 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
159 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
160 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100161
162 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
163 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100164
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100165 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
166 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
167 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
168 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
169 sterling work chasing this down.
170
171 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
172 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100173 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
174 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
175 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100176
177 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
178 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
179 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
180 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
181 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
182 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
183 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
184 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100185
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100186 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
187 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
188 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
189 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
190 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
191 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100192 pointing out the problem.
193
194 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
195 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
196 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100197
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100198 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
199 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
200 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
201 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
202 change permanent.
203
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100204 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
205 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
206
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100207 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
208 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
209
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100210 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
211 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
212 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
213 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100214
215 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
216 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100217
218 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the
219 "on-link" bit set. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
220
221 Extend --bridge-interface to DHCPv6 and router
222 advertisements. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100223
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000224
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100225version 2.72
Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +0100226 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
227
228 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
229 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100230
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100231 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
232 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
233 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100234
235 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
236 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100237
238 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
239 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100240
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100241 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
242 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
243 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
244 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
245 patch.
246
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100247 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
248 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
249 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
250 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
251 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
252 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
253
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100254 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
255 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
256 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +0100257
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100258 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
259 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100260
261 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
262 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
263 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100264
265 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
266 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.
267
Simon Kelleyad4a8ff2015-04-09 21:48:00 +0100268
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100269version 2.71
270 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
271 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
272 non-existent DS records.
273
274 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
275 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
276 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
277 report.
278
279 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
280 for spotting that too.
281
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100282 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
283 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
284 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
285
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100286
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100287version 2.70
288 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
289 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
290 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
291
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100292 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
293 Wang Jian for the bug report.
294
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100295
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000296version 2.69
297 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
298 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
299 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
300 valuable research on how to implement this.
301
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000302 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000303 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000304
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000305 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
306 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
307 for spotting the problem.
308
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000309 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
310 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
311 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
312 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
313 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
314
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000315 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
316 compiled with this enabled, with
317
318 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
319
320 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
321 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
322 statically with
323
324 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
325
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100326 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
327 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
328
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000329 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
330 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
331 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
332 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
333 distribution. You should of course check that these are
334 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
335
336 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
337 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000338
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000339 to your config is all thats needed to get things
340 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
341 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
342 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
343 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
344 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
345 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
346 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
347 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
348 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
349 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
350 records, which significantly improve the performance of
351 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
352 DNSSEC in action.
353
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100354 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
355 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
356 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
357 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
358 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
359 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
360 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
361 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
362 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
363 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
364 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
365 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
366 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
367 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
368 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
369 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
370
371 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
372 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
373 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
374 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
375 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
376 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
377 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
378 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
379 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
380 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
381 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
382 henceforward will be complete.
383
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000384 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
385 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
386 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
387 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
388 a workable state.
389
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000390 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000391
392 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
393 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000394
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000395 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
396 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
397 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000398 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000399 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
400 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
401 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
402 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
403
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000404 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs

417 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
418 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
419 addresses.
420
421 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
422 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
423 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
424 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
425 restarted, this bug disappeared.
426
427 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
428 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
429
430 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
431
432 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
433 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
434 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
435 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
436 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
437 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
438 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
439 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
440 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
441 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
442 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
443 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
444 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000445

455 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000456
457 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
458 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
459 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
460 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
461 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000462
463 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
464 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
465 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
466 corresponding address on the local interface.

472 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100473
474 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
475 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
476 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
477 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
478 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
479 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
480 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
481 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100482

Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100492
493 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
494 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
495 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
496 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
497 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
498 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
499 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
500 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100521 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
522 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP

Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100545 When the address which triggered the construction of an
546 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
547 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
548 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
549 things work better if a prefix disappears without being

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000624version 2.66
625 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
626 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
627 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
628 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
629 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
630 servers to be configured.
631
632 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
633 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
634 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
635 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
636 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
637 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
638 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
639 this idea.

645 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
646 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
647 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
648 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)

Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100708 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with

722 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
723
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000724 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100725 Williams for the patch.
726
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000727 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
728 Roy Marples for the patch.
729
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100730 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
731 Rodriguez for the patch.

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100733 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
734 for the patch.
735
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100736 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
737 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
738 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
739
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100740 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
741 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
742 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
743 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
744
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100745 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
746 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
747 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
748
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100749 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
750 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
751 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
752
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000753 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
754 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
755 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000756
757 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
758 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000759
760 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
761 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
762 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000763
764 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
765 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
766 without setting source address and interface, since this
767 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
768 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
769
770 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
771 dhcp-range on a subnet.

776
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100777 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
778 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
779
780 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
781 stuff is pointless without that.
782
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100783 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
784 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
785 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100786
787 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
788 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100789
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100790 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
791 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
792 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
793 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
794 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
795 superceded by other mechanisms.
796
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100797 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
798 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
799
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100800 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
801 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
802
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100803 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100805 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
806 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
807 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
808 the suggestion.
809
810 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
811 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
812 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100813

Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100816 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
817 which overrides the default,
818 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
819 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
820
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100821 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router

Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100828 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
829 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
830
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100831 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
832 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
833 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
834
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100835 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
836 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
837 for spotting this.
838
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100839 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
840 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
841 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
842
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100843 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
844
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100845 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
846 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
847 his help nailing this.
848
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000849version 2.61
850 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
851 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
852 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
853 addresses.
854
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100855 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
856 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
857 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
858 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
859 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
860 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000861
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000862 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
863
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000864 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
865 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
866 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100867 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000868 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000869
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000870 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
871 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
872 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
873
874 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
875
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000876 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
877 suggestion.
878
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000879 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
880 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
881 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
882 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
883 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
884 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
885 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
886 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
887 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
888 Gadgil.
889
890 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
891 the above.
892
893 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
894 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000895 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
896 Forkel.
897
898 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
899 work even if there is no interface carrying the
900 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
901 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
902 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
903 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
904 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000905
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000906 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
907 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
908 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
909
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100910 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
911 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
912 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
913 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
914 for existing connections, but new connections will use
915 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
916 renumbering at least possible.
917
918 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100919 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100928 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000960 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
961 which is not the primary address of an interface.
962
963 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
964
965 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
966 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
967 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
968 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
969 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
970 implementation.
971
972 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
973 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
974 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
975 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
976 set them from the make command line.
977
978 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
979 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
980
981 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
982 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000984 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
985 release tags or hash values.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000987 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
988 containing many distinct addresses.
989
990 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
991 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
992 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
993 this.
994
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000995 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
996 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
997
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000998 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
999 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1000 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1001 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1002
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001003 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1004 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1005 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1006 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001007 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001008 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1009
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001010 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1011 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1012 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1013 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1014 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1015 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1016 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1017 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1018 These will be added as the standards mature.
1019 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1020 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1021 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001022
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001023 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1024 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1025 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1026 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1027 enabling with --enable-ra.
1028
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001029 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1030 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1031 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1032 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001039version 2.59
1040 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1041 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1042 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1043 report.
1044
1045 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1046 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1047 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1048 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1049 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1050 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1051 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1052 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1053 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

1057 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1058 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1059
1060 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1061 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1062 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1063
1064 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1065 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1066 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1067 server-deployment applications need this.
1068
1069 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1070 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1071 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1072 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1073 in chasing this one down.
1074
1075 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1076 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1077 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1078 the problem.
1079
1080 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1081 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1082 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1083 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1084 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1085 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1086
1087 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1088 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1089 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1090 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1091 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1092 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1093 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1094 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1095
1096 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1097 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1098
1099 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1100 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1101 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1102 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1103
1104 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1105 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1106
1107 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1108 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1109 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1110 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1111 Agrawal for the patch.
1112
1113 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1114 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1115 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1116 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1117 per-network values. So
1118 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1119 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1120 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1121 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1122 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1123 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1124
1125 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1126 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1127 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1128 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1129 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1130 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1131 a comprehensive test-case.
1132
1133 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1134 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001135 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001136
1137 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1138 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1139 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1140 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1141 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001148version 2.57
1149 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1150
1151 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1152 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1153 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1154 effectively empty on Android.
1155
1156 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1157 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1158 wildcard.
1159
1160 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1161 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1162 spotting this.
1163
1164 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1165 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1166 when i18n is included.
1167 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1168
1169 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1170 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1171 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1172
1173
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001174version 2.56
1175 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1176 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1177
1178 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1179 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1180 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1181 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1182
1183 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1184 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1185
1186 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1187 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1188 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1189
1190 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1191 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1192 syslogd.
1193
1194 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1195 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1196 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1197
1198 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1199 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1200 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1201
1202 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1203 option, on the command line.
1204
1205 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1206 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1207
1208 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1209 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1210 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1211 to John Hallam for the patch.
1212
1213 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1214 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1215 character chunks instead.
1216
1217 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1218 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1219 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1220 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1221
1222 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1223 transfer has completed succesfully.
1224
1225 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1226 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1227 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1228 which automatically creates
1229 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1230 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1231
1232 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1233 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1234
1235 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1236 thanks for that.
1237
1238 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1239 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1240 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1241 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1242 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1243 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1244 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1245 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1246 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1247
1248 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1249 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1250 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1251 set.
1252
1253 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1254 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1255
1256 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1257 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1258 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1259
1260 Edit
1261 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1262 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1263 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1264
1265 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1266 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1267 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1268 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1269 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1270 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1271 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1272 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1273 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1274 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1275 So:
1276 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1277 --server=/google.com/#
1278 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1279 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1280 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1281 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1282 William for pointing out the need for this.
1283
1284 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1285 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1286 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1287
1288 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1289 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1290 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1291 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1292
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001293 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1315 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1316 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1317
1318 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1319 generated by gcc 4.4.
1320
1321 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1322 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1323
1324 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1325 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1326 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1327
1328 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1329 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1330 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1331 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1332 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1333 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1334 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1335 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1336 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1337 much less confusing.
1338
1339 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1340 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1341 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1342
1343 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1344
1345 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1346
1347 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1348 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1349 finding this.
1350
1351 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1352 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1353 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1354 from the client.
1355
1356 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1357 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1358 finding this.
1359
1360 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1361 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1362 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1363 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1364 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1365 server-override option.
1366
1367 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1368 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1369 allows a single line of the form
1370 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1371 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1372 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1373 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1374 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1375 interface=<interface>
1376 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1377 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1378 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1379 configuration.
1380
1381 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1382
1383 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1384 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1385
1386 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1387 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1388 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1389 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1390
1391 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1392 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1393 file, not the process/descriptor.
1394
1395 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1396 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1397
1398 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1399 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1400 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1401 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1402 this and testing the fix.
1403
1404 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1405 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1406 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1407
1408 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1409 upstream servers: this allows something like
1410 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1411 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1412 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1413 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1414
1415 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1416 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1417 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1418 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1419 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1420 work on this.
1421
1422 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1423 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1424 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1425 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1426 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1427 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1428 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1429
1430 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1431
1432 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1433 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1434 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1435 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1436 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1437 here.
1438
1439 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1440
1441 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1442 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1443
1444 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1445 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1446 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1447 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1448 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1449
1450 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1451 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1452
1453 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1454 is set.
1455
1456 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1457 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1458

1462
1463 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1464
1465 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1466
1467 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1468 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1469 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1470
1471 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1472
1473
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001474version 2.52
1475 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1476 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1477 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1478 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1479 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1480 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1481 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1482 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1483
1484 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1485 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1486 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1487 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1488
1489 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1490 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1491 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1492 when dnsmasq is first started.
1493
1494 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1495 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1496 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1497 with certain clients.
1498
1499 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1500 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1501 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1502
1503 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1504 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1505 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1506 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1507 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1508 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1509 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1510 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1511 numbers delimited by dots.
1512
1513 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1514 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1515
1516 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1517 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1518
1519 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1520 contrib/Solaris10.
1521
1522 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1523 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1524 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1525 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1526 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1527 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1528 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1529
1530 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1531 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1532 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1533 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1534
1535 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1536 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1537 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1538
1539 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1540 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1541 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1542
1543 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1544 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1545 looks like this:
1546 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1547
1548 Add some application specific code to assist in
1549 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1550 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1551
1552 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1553 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1554 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1555 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1556
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001557 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001558 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1559
1560 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1561 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1562 this.
1563
1564 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1565 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1566 providing this.
1567
1568 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1569 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1570
1571 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1572
1573 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1574
1575 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1576
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001577 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1578 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1579 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1580 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001581
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001582
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001583version 2.51
1584 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1585 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1586 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1587 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1588 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1589 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1590 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1591 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1592 suggestion.
1593
1594 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1595 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1596 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1597 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1598 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1599 a DHCP relay, if used.
1600 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1601
1602 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1603 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1604
1605 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1606 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1607 dhcp-option-force.
1608
1609 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1610 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1611 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1612
1613 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1614 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1615 the patch.
1616
1617 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1618
1619 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1620 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1621
1622 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1623 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1624 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1625 suggestion.
1626
1627 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1628 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1629 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1630 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1631 dhcp-optsfile.
1632
1633 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1634 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1635 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1636 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1637 suggestion.
1638
1639 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1640 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1641 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1642 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1643 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1644
1645 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1646 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1647 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1648 fragmented packets.
1649
1650 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1651 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1652
1653 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001657 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001658 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1659 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1660 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1661 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1662 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1663 and CVE: 2009-2957
1664
1665 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1666 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1667 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1668 CVE: 2009-2958
1669
1670
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001671version 2.49
1672 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1673 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1674
1675 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1676 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1677 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1678 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1679
1680 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001683version 2.48
1684 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1685 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1686 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001687
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001688 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1689 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1690 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001691
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001692 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1693 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1694 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001695
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001696 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1697 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1698 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1699 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001700
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001701 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1702 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001703
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001704 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1705 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1706 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1707 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001708
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001709 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1710 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1711 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001712
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001713 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1714 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1715 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001716
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001717 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001718
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001719 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1720 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1721 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1722 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1723 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1724 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1725 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1726 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1727 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001728
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001729 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1730 useful suggestions.
1731
1732 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1733 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1734 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1735
1736 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1737 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001738
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001739 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001741
1742version 2.47
1743 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1744
1745 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1746 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1747
1748 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1749 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1750 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1751
1752 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1753 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1754 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1755 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1756 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1757 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1758 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1759 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1760 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1761 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1762 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1763 Krafft for the bug report.
1764
1765 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1766
1767 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1768 Fix for this bug:
1769 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1770
1771 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1772 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1773 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1774 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1775
1776 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1777 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1778
1779 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1780
1781 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1782 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1783 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1784 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1785 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1786
1787 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1788 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1789
1790 No longer complain about blank lines in
1791 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1792
1793 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1794 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1795 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1796 for the bug report.
1797
1798 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1799 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1800 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1801 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1802
1803 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1804 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1805 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1806 as before.
1807 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1808 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1809 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1810
1811 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1812 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1813 Windows even when using supernetting.
1814 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1815 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1816 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1817 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1818
1819 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1820
1821 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1822 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1823 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1824 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1825 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1826 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1827 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001828
1829
1830version 2.46
1831 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1832 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1833 suggestion.
1834
1835 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1836 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1837 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1838 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1839 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1840
1841 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1842 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1843 based in their IP address.
1844
1845 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1846 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1847 a domain associated with each client, and only
1848 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1849 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1850 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1851 long as they are in different domains.
1852
1853 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1854 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1855 have now that it's variable.
1856
1857 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1858 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1859 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1860 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1861 potential.
1862
1863 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1864 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1865 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1866
1867 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1868 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1869
1870 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1871 which the DHCP request was received.
1872
1873 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1874 Laine for the patch.
1875
1876 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1877 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1878
1879 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1880 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1881 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1882 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1883 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1884 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1885 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1886 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1887 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1888 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1889 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1890
1891 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1892 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1893 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1894 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1895 improvement.
1896
1897 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1898 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1899 suggestions on this.
1900
1901 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1902 Fisher.
1903
1904 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1905
1906 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1907 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1908
1909 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1910
1911 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1912 up" event occurs.
1913
1914
1915version 2.45
1916 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1917 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1918 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1919 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1920
1921
1922version 2.44
1923 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1924 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1925 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1926
1927 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1928 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1929 never been reported in the wild.
1930
1931 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1932 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1933
1934 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1935 is large.
1936
1937 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1938 David Gilman.
1939
1940 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.

1943version 2.43
1944 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1945
1946 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1947 illegally.
1948
1949 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1950
1951 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1952 format.
1953
1954 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1955 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1956 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1957 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1958 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1959
1960 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1961 Rack for the bug report.
1962
1963 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1964 Bergquist.
1965
1966 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1967 option.
1968
1969 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1970 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1971
1972 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1973 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1974
1975 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1976 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1977 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1978 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1979 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1980 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1981 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1982 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1983 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1984 suggestions.
1985
1986 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1987 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1988 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1989
1990 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1991 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1992 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1993 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1994 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1995 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1996 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1997 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1998 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1999 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2000
2001 Replace the random number generator, for better
2002 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2003 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2004 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2005 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2006 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2007 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.

2009 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2010 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2011 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2012 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2013 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
