Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +01002 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
3
4 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
5 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +01006
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +01007 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
8 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
9 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +010010
11 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
12 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +010013
14 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
15 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +010016
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +010017 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
18 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
19 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
20 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
21 patch.
22
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +010023 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
24 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
25 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
26 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
27 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
28 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
29
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +010030 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
31 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
32 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf

Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +010035version 2.71
36 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
37 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
38 non-existent DS records.
39
40 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
41 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
42 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
43 report.
44
45 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
46 for spotting that too.
47
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +010048 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
49 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
50 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
51
Richard Genoud15b1b7e2014-09-17 21:12:00 +010052 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
53 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.

Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +010056version 2.70
57 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
58 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
59 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
60
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +010061 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
62 Wang Jian for the bug report.

Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +000065version 2.69
66 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
67 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
68 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
69 valuable research on how to implement this.
70
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +000071 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +000072 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +000073
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +000074 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
75 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
76 for spotting the problem.
77
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +000078 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
79 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
80 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
81 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
82 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
83
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000084 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
85 compiled with this enabled, with
86
87 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
88
89 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
90 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
91 statically with
92
93 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
94
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +010095 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
96 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
97
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000098 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
99 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
100 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
101 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
102 distribution. You should of course check that these are
103 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
104
105 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
106 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000107
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000108 to your config is all thats needed to get things
109 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
110 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
111 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
112 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
113 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
114 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
115 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
116 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
117 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
118 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
119 records, which significantly improve the performance of
120 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
121 DNSSEC in action.
122
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100123 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
124 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
125 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
126 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
127 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
128 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
129 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
130 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
131 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
132 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
133 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
134 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
135 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
136 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
137 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
138 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
139
140 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
141 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
142 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
143 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
144 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
145 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
146 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
147 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
148 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
149 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
150 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
151 henceforward will be complete.
152
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000153 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
154 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
155 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
156 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
157 a workable state.
158
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000159 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000160
161 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
162 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000163
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000164 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
165 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
166 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000167 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000168 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
169 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
170 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
171 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
172
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000173 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
174 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
175 find this and helping to chase it down.
176
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100177 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
178 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
179 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
180
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100181 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
182 well as logging them.
183
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000184
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000185version 2.68
186 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
187 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
188 addresses.
189
190 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
191 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
192 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
193 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
194 restarted, this bug disappeared.
195
196 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
197 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
198
199 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
200
201 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
202 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
203 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
204 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
205 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
206 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
207 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
208 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
209 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
210 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
211 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
212 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
213 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000214
215 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
216 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
217 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
218 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000219
220 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
221 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
222
223 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
224 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000225
226 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
227 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
228 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
229 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
230 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000231
232 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
233 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
234 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
235 corresponding address on the local interface.
236
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000237
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100238version 2.67
239 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
240 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
241 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100242
243 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
244 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
245 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
246 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
247 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
248 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
249 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
250 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100251
252 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
253 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
254 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100255
256 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
257 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100258
259 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
260 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100261
262 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
263 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
264 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
265 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
266 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
267 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
268 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
269 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100270
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100271 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
272 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
273 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
274 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
275 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100276
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100277 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
278 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
279
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100280 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
281 spurious error when all seven possible items were
282 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100283
284 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
285 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
286
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100287 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
288 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
289
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100290 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
291 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
292 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
293 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
294 report.
295
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100296 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
297 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
298 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
299
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100300 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero
Simon Kelley3953dcc2013-07-03 20:40:45 +0100301 terminator. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the bug report.
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100302
Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100303 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
304 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
305
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100306 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
307 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
308 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
309 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
310
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100311 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
312 via DBus too.
313
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100314 When the address which triggered the construction of an
315 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
316 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
317 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
318 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
319 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
320 arguing for this.
321
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100322 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
323 for the bug report.

Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100325 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
326 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
327 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
328 for suggesting this.
329
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100330 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
331 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
332
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100333 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
334 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
335 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
336 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
337 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
338
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100339 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
340 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100341
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100342 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
343 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
344
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100345 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
346 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
347 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
348
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100349 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
350 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
351
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100352 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
353 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
354 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
355 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
356 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100357
358 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
359 address must be either the first or last address in the
360 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
361 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100362
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100363 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100370 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
371 inspiration on this.
372
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100373 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100374 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
375 for sponsoring this feature.
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100376
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100377 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
378 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
379
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100380 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
381 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
382 suggestion.
383
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100384 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
385 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
386 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
387 spotting the problem.
388
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100389 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
390 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.
391
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100392
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000393version 2.66
394 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
395 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
396 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
397 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
398 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
399 servers to be configured.
400
401 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
402 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
403 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
404 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
405 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
406 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
407 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
408 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000409
410 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000411 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
412 patch.
413
414 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
415 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
416 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
417 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
418 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
419 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
420 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000421
422 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
423 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
424 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000425
426 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
427 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000428 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000429 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
430 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
431 bounty for this addition.
432
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000433 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
434 information-requests with some common configurations.
435 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
436 chasing the problem.
437
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000438 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
439 patch.
440
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000441 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000442 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000443
444 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
445 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000446
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100447 Handle the situation where libc headers define
448 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
449 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
450 Felker for the bug report.
451
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100452 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100453
454 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
455 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
456 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100457
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100458 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.

Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000460
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000461version 2.65
462 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
463 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
464 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
465
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000466 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
467 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000468
469 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000470
471
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100472version 2.64
473 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
474 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
475 spotting the problem.
476
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100477 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
478 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
479 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
480 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
481 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
482 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
483
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100484 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
485 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
486
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100487 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
488 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
489
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100490 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
491 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
492
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000493 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan

495
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000496 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
497 Roy Marples for the patch.
498
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100499 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
500 Rodriguez for the patch.

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100502 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
503 for the patch.
504
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100505 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
506 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
507 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
508
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100509 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
510 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
511 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
512 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
513
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100514 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
515 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
516 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
517
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100518 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
519 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
520 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
521
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000522 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
523 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
524 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000525
526 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
527 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000528
529 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
530 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
531 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000532
533 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
534 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
535 without setting source address and interface, since this
536 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
537 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
538
539 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
540 dhcp-range on a subnet.

Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100546 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
547 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
548
549 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
550 stuff is pointless without that.
551
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100552 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
553 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
554 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100555
556 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
557 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100558
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100559 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
560 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
561 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
562 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
563 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
564 superceded by other mechanisms.
565
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100566 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
567 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100574 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
575 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
576 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
577 the suggestion.
578
579 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
580 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
581 spotted the ommission.

599
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100600 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
601 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
602 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
603
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100604 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
605 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
606 for spotting this.
607
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100608 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
609 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
610 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
611
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100612 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
613
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100614 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
615 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
616 his help nailing this.
617
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000618version 2.61
619 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
620 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
621 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
622 addresses.
623
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100624 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
625 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
626 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
627 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
628 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
629 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000630
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000631 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
632
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000633 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
634 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
635 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100636 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000637 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000638
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000639 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
640 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
641 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
642
643 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
644
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000645 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
646 suggestion.
647
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000648 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
649 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
650 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
651 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
652 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
653 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
654 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
655 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
656 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
657 Gadgil.
658
659 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
660 the above.
661
662 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
663 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000664 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
665 Forkel.
666
667 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
668 work even if there is no interface carrying the
669 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
670 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
671 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
672 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
673 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000675 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
676 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
677 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
678
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100679 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
680 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
681 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
682 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
683 for existing connections, but new connections will use
684 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
685 renumbering at least possible.
686
687 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100688 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelleyfc92ead2012-04-22 21:28:24 +0100713 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100714 patch.
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100715
716 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
717 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100718 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina

726 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
727 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100728
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000729 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
730 which is not the primary address of an interface.
731
732 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
733
734 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
735 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
736 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
737 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
738 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
739 implementation.
740
741 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
742 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
743 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
744 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
745 set them from the make command line.
746
747 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
748 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
749
750 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
751 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
752
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000753 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
754 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000755
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000756 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
757 containing many distinct addresses.
758
759 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
760 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
761 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
762 this.
763
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000764 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
765 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
766
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000767 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
768 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
769 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
770 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
771
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000772 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
773 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
774 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
775 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000776 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000777 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
778
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000779 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
780 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
781 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
782 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
783 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
784 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
785 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
786 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
787 These will be added as the standards mature.
788 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
789 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
790 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000791
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000792 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
793 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
794 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
795 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
796 enabling with --enable-ra.
797
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000798 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
799 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
800 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
801 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000802
803 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000805 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
806
807
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000808version 2.59
809 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
810 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
811 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
812 report.
813
814 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
815 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
816 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
817 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
818 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
819 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
820 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
821 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
822 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100823
824
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100825version 2.58
826 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
827 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
828
829 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
830 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
831 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
832
833 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
834 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
835 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
836 server-deployment applications need this.
837
838 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
839 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
840 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
841 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
842 in chasing this one down.
843
844 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
845 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
846 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
847 the problem.
848
849 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
850 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
851 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
852 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
853 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
854 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
855
856 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
857 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
858 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
859 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
860 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
861 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
862 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
863 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
864
865 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
866 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
867
868 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
869 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
870 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
871 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
872
873 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
874 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
875
876 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
877 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
878 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
879 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
880 Agrawal for the patch.
881
882 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
883 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
884 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
885 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
886 per-network values. So
887 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
888 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
889 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
890 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
891 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
892 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
893
894 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
895 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
896 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
897 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
898 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
899 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
900 a comprehensive test-case.
901
902 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
903 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100904 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100905
906 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
907 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
908 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
909 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
910 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
911
912 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
913
914 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
915
916
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000917version 2.57
918 Add patches to allow build under Android.
919
920 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
921 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
922 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
923 effectively empty on Android.
924
925 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
926 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
927 wildcard.
928
929 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
930 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
931 spotting this.
932
933 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
934 IDN support continues to be included automatically
935 when i18n is included.
936 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
937
938 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
939 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
940 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
941
942
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000943version 2.56
944 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
945 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
946
947 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
948 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
949 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
950 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
951
952 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
953 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
954
955 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
956 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
957 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
958
959 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
960 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
961 syslogd.
962
963 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
964 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
965 Petrin for the orignal patch.
966
967 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
968 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
969 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
970
971 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
972 option, on the command line.
973
974 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
975 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
976
977 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
978 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
979 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
980 to John Hallam for the patch.
981
982 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
983 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
984 character chunks instead.
985
986 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
987 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
988 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
989 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
990
991 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
992 transfer has completed succesfully.
993
994 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
995 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
996 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
997 which automatically creates
998 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
999 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1000
1001 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1002 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1003
1004 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1005 thanks for that.
1006
1007 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1008 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1009 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1010 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1011 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1012 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1013 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1014 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1015 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1016
1017 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1018 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1019 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1020 set.
1021
1022 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1023 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1024
1025 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1026 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1027 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1028
1029 Edit
1030 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1031 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1032 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1033
1034 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1035 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1036 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1037 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1038 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1039 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1040 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1041 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1042 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1043 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1044 So:
1045 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1046 --server=/google.com/#
1047 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1048 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1049 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1050 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1051 William for pointing out the need for this.
1052
1053 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1054 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1055 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1056
1057 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1058 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1059 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1060 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1061
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001062 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1084 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1085 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1086
1087 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1088 generated by gcc 4.4.
1089
1090 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1091 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1092
1093 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1094 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1095 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1096
1097 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1098 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1099 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1100 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1101 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1102 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1103 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1104 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1105 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1106 much less confusing.
1107
1108 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1109 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1110 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1111
1112 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1113
1114 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1115
1116 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1117 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1118 finding this.
1119
1120 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1121 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1122 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1123 from the client.
1124
1125 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1126 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1127 finding this.
1128
1129 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1130 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1131 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1132 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1133 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1134 server-override option.
1135
1136 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1137 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1138 allows a single line of the form
1139 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1140 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1141 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1142 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1143 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1144 interface=<interface>
1145 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1146 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1147 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1148 configuration.
1149
1150 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1151
1152 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1153 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1154
1155 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1156 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1157 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1158 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1159
1160 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1161 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1162 file, not the process/descriptor.
1163
1164 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1165 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1166
1167 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1168 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1169 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1170 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1171 this and testing the fix.
1172
1173 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1174 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1175 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1176
1177 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1178 upstream servers: this allows something like
1179 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1180 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1181 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1182 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1183
1184 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1185 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1186 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1187 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1188 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1189 work on this.
1190
1191 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1192 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1193 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1194 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1195 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1196 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1197 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1198
1199 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1200
1201 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1202 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1203 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1204 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1205 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1206 here.
1207
1208 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1209
1210 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1211 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1212
1213 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1214 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1215 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1216 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1217 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1218
1219 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1220 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1221
1222 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1223 is set.
1224
1225 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1226 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1227
1228 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1229
1230 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1231
1232 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1233
1234 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1235
1236 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1237 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1238 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1239
1240 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1241
1242
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001243version 2.52
1244 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1245 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1246 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1247 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1248 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1249 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1250 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1251 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1252
1253 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1254 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1255 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1256 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1257
1258 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1259 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1260 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1261 when dnsmasq is first started.
1262
1263 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1264 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1265 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1266 with certain clients.
1267
1268 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1269 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1270 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1271
1272 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1273 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1274 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1275 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1276 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1277 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1278 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1279 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1280 numbers delimited by dots.
1281
1282 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1283 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1284
1285 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1286 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1287
1288 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1289 contrib/Solaris10.
1290
1291 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1292 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1293 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1294 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1295 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1296 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1297 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1298
1299 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1300 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1301 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1302 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1303
1304 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1305 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1306 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1307
1308 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1309 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1310 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1311
1312 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1313 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1314 looks like this:
1315 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1316
1317 Add some application specific code to assist in
1318 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1319 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1320
1321 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1322 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1323 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1324 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1325
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001326 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001327 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1328
1329 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1330 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1331 this.
1332
1333 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1334 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1335 providing this.
1336
1337 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1338 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1339
1340 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1341
1342 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1343
1344 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1345
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001346 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1347 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1348 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1349 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001350
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001351
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001352version 2.51
1353 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1354 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1355 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1356 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1357 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1358 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1359 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1360 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1361 suggestion.
1362
1363 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1364 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1365 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1366 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1367 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1368 a DHCP relay, if used.
1369 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1370
1371 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1372 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1373
1374 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1375 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1376 dhcp-option-force.
1377
1378 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1379 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1380 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1381
1382 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1383 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1384 the patch.
1385
1386 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1387
1388 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1389 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1390
1391 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1392 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1393 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1394 suggestion.
1395
1396 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1397 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1398 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1399 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1400 dhcp-optsfile.
1401
1402 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1403 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1404 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1405 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1406 suggestion.
1407
1408 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1409 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1410 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1411 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1412 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1413
1414 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1415 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1416 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1417 fragmented packets.
1418
1419 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1420 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1421
1422 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001425version 2.50
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001426 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001427 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1428 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1429 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1430 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1431 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1432 and CVE: 2009-2957
1433
1434 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1435 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1436 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1437 CVE: 2009-2958
1438
1439
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001440version 2.49
1441 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1442 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1443
1444 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1445 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1446 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1447 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1448
1449 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1451
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001452version 2.48
1453 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1454 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1455 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001456
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001457 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1458 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1459 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001460
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001461 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1462 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1463 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001464
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001465 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1466 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1467 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1468 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001469
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001470 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1471 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001472
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001473 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1474 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1475 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1476 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001477
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001478 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1479 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1480 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001481
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001482 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1483 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1484 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001485
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001486 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001487
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001488 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1489 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1490 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1491 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1492 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1493 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1494 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1495 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1496 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001497
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001498 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1499 useful suggestions.
1500
1501 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1502 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1503 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1504
1505 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1506 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001507
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001508 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001510
1511version 2.47
1512 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1513
1514 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1515 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1516
1517 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1518 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1519 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1520
1521 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1522 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1523 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1524 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1525 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1526 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1527 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1528 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1529 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1530 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1531 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1532 Krafft for the bug report.
1533
1534 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1535
1536 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1537 Fix for this bug:
1538 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1539
1540 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1541 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1542 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1543 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1544
1545 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1546 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1547
1548 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1549
1550 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1551 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1552 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1553 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1554 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1555
1556 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1557 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1558
1559 No longer complain about blank lines in
1560 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1561
1562 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1563 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1564 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1565 for the bug report.
1566
1567 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1568 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1569 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1570 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1571
1572 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1573 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1574 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1575 as before.
1576 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1577 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1578 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1579
1580 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1581 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1582 Windows even when using supernetting.
1583 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1584 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1585 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1586 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1587
1588 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1589
1590 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1591 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1592 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1593 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1594 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1595 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1596 dnsmasq.

1599version 2.46
1600 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1601 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1602 suggestion.
1603
1604 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1605 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1606 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1607 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1608 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1609
1610 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1611 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1612 based in their IP address.
1613
1614 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1615 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1616 a domain associated with each client, and only
1617 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1618 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1619 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1620 long as they are in different domains.
1621
1622 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1623 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1624 have now that it's variable.
1625
1626 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1627 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1628 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1629 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1630 potential.
1631
1632 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1633 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1634 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1635
1636 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1637 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1638
1639 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1640 which the DHCP request was received.
1641
1642 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1643 Laine for the patch.
1644
1645 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1646 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1647
1648 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1649 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1650 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1651 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1652 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1653 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1654 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1655 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1656 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1657 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1658 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1659
1660 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1661 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1662 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1663 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1664 improvement.
1665
1666 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1667 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1668 suggestions on this.
1669
1670 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1671 Fisher.
1672
1673 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1674
1675 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1676 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1677
1678 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1679
1680 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1681 up" event occurs.
1682
1683
1684version 2.45
1685 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1686 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1687 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1688 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1689
1690
1691version 2.44
1692 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1693 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1694 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1695
1696 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1697 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1698 never been reported in the wild.
1699
1700 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1701 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1702
1703 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1704 is large.
1705
1706 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1707 David Gilman.
1708
1709 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1710
1711
1712version 2.43
1713 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1714
1715 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1716 illegally.
1717
1718 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1719
1720 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1721 format.
1722
1723 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1724 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1725 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1726 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1727 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1728
1729 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1730 Rack for the bug report.
1731
1732 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1733 Bergquist.
1734
1735 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1736 option.
1737
1738 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1739 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1740
1741 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1742 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1743
1744 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1745 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1746 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1747 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1748 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1749 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1750 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1751 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1752 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1753 suggestions.
1754
1755 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1756 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1757 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1758
1759 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1760 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1761 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1762 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1763 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1764 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1765 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1766 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1767 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1768 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1769
1770 Replace the random number generator, for better
1771 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1772 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1773 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1774 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1775 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1776 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1777
1778 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1779 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1780 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1781 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1782 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1783
1784 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
