Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +01001version 2.67
2 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
3 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
4 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +01005
6 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
7 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
8 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
9 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
10 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
11 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
12 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
13 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +000016version 2.66
17 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
18 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
19 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
20 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
21 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
22 servers to be configured.
23
24 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
25 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
26 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
27 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
28 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
29 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
30 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
31 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +000032
33 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +000034 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
35 patch.
36
37 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
38 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
39 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
40 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
41 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
42 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
43 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +000044
45 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
46 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
47 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +000048
49 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
50 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +000051 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +000052 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
53 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
54 bounty for this addition.
55
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +000056 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
57 information-requests with some common configurations.
58 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
59 chasing the problem.
60
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +000061 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
62 patch.
63
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +000064 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +000065 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +000066
67 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
68 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +000069
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +010070 Handle the situation where libc headers define
71 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
72 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
73 Felker for the bug report.
74
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +010075 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +010076
77 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
78 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
79 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +010080
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +010081 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
82
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +000083
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +000084version 2.65
85 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
86 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
87 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
88
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +000089 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
90 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +000091
92 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +000093
94
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +010095version 2.64
96 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
97 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
98 spotting the problem.
99
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100100 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
101 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
102 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
103 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
104 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
105 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
106
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100107 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
108 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
109
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100110 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
111 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
112
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100113 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
114 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
115
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000116 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100117 Williams for the patch.
118
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000119 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
120 Roy Marples for the patch.
121
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100122 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
123 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100124
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100125 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
126 for the patch.
127
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100128 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
129 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
130 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
131
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100132 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
133 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
134 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
135 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
136
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100137 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
138 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
139 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
140
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100141 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
142 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
143 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
144
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000145 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
146 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
147 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000148
149 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
150 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000151
152 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
153 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
154 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000155
156 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
157 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
158 without setting source address and interface, since this
159 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
160 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
161
162 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
163 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100164
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000165
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100166version 2.63
167 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
168
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100169 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
170 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
171
172 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
173 stuff is pointless without that.
174
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100175 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
176 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
177 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100178
179 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
180 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100181
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100182 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
183 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
184 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
185 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
186 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
187 superceded by other mechanisms.
188
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100189 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
190 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
191
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100192 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
193 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
194
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100195 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100196
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100197 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
198 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
199 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
200 the suggestion.
201
202 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
203 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
204 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100205
206 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100207
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100208 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
209 which overrides the default,
210 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
211 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
212
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100213 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
214 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
215
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100216
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100217version 2.62
218 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
219
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100220 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
221 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
222
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100223 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
224 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
225 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
226
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100227 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
228 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
229 for spotting this.
230
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100231 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
232 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
233 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
234
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100235 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
236
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100237 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
238 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
239 his help nailing this.
240
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000241version 2.61
242 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
243 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
244 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
245 addresses.
246
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100247 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
248 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
249 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
250 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
251 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
252 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000253
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000254 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
255
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000256 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
257 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
258 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100259 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000260 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000261
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000262 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
263 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
264 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
265
266 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
267
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000268 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
269 suggestion.
270
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000271 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
272 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
273 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
274 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
275 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
276 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
277 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
278 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
279 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
280 Gadgil.
281
282 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
283 the above.
284
285 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
286 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000287 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
288 Forkel.
289
290 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
291 work even if there is no interface carrying the
292 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
293 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
294 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
295 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
296 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000297
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000298 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
299 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
300 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
301
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100302 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
303 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
304 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
305 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
306 for existing connections, but new connections will use
307 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
308 renumbering at least possible.
309
310 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100311 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100312
313 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
314 using the settings provided for DHCP options
315 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100320 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
321 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
322 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.

Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100326 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
327 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
328 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100329 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000348version 2.60
349 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
350 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100351
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000352 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
353 which is not the primary address of an interface.
354
355 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
356
357 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
358 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
359 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
360 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
361 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
362 implementation.
363
364 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
365 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
366 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
367 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
368 set them from the make command line.
369
370 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
371 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
372
373 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
374 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
375
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000376 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
377 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000378
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000379 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
380 containing many distinct addresses.
381
382 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
383 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
384 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
385 this.
386
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000387 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
388 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
389
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000390 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
391 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
392 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
393 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
394
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000395 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
396 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
397 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
398 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000399 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000400 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
401
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000402 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
403 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
404 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
405 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
406 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
407 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
408 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
409 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
410 These will be added as the standards mature.
411 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
412 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
413 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000414
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000415 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
416 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
417 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
418 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
419 enabling with --enable-ra.
420
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000421 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
422 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
423 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
424 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000425
426 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000427
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000428 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
429
430
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000431version 2.59
432 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
433 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
434 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
435 report.
436
437 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
438 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
439 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
440 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
441 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
442 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
443 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
444 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
445 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100446
447
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100448version 2.58
449 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
450 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
451
452 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
453 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
454 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
455
456 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
457 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
458 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
459 server-deployment applications need this.
460
461 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
462 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
463 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
464 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
465 in chasing this one down.
466
467 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
468 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
469 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
470 the problem.
471
472 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
473 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
474 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
475 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
476 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
477 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
478
479 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
480 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
481 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
482 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
483 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
484 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
485 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
486 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
487
488 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
489 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
490
491 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
492 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
493 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
494 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
495
496 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
497 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
498
499 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
500 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
501 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
502 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
503 Agrawal for the patch.
504
505 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
506 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
507 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
508 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
509 per-network values. So
510 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
511 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
512 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
513 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
514 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
515 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
516
517 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
518 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
519 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
520 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
521 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
522 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
523 a comprehensive test-case.
524
525 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
526 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100527 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100528
529 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
530 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
531 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
532 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
533 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
534
535 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
536
537 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
538
539
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000540version 2.57
541 Add patches to allow build under Android.
542
543 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
544 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
545 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
546 effectively empty on Android.
547
548 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
549 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
550 wildcard.
551
552 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
553 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
554 spotting this.
555
556 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
557 IDN support continues to be included automatically
558 when i18n is included.
559 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
560
561 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
562 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
563 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
564
565
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000566version 2.56
567 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
568 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
569
570 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
571 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
572 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
573 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
574
575 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
576 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
577
578 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
579 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
580 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
581
582 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
583 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
584 syslogd.
585
586 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
587 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
588 Petrin for the orignal patch.
589
590 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
591 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
592 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
593
594 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
595 option, on the command line.
596
597 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
598 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
599
600 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
601 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
602 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
603 to John Hallam for the patch.
604
605 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
606 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
607 character chunks instead.
608
609 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
610 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
611 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
612 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
613
614 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
615 transfer has completed succesfully.
616
617 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
618 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
619 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
620 which automatically creates
621 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
622 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
623
624 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
625 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
626
627 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
628 thanks for that.
629
630 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
631 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
632 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
633 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
634 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
635 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
636 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
637 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
638 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
639
640 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
641 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
642 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
643 set.
644
645 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
646 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
647
648 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
649 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
650 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
651
652 Edit
653 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
654 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
655 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
656
657 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
658 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
659 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
660 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
661 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
662 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
663 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
664 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
665 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
666 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
667 So:
668 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
669 --server=/google.com/#
670 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
671 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
672 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
673 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
674 William for pointing out the need for this.
675
676 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
677 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
678 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
679
680 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
681 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
682 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
683 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
684
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000685 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
686 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000694 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
695 finding this one.

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000697 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)
698 options.

701version 2.54
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000702 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
703 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.

705
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100706version 2.53
707 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
708 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
709
710 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
711 generated by gcc 4.4.
712
713 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
714 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
715
716 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
717 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
718 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
719
720 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
721 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
722 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
723 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
724 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
725 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
726 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
727 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
728 the documentation and new-style config files should be
729 much less confusing.
730
731 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
732 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
733 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
734
735 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
736
737 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
738
739 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
740 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
741 finding this.
742
743 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
744 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
745 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
746 from the client.
747
748 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
749 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
750 finding this.
751
752 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
753 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
754 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
755 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
756 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
757 server-override option.
758
759 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
760 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
761 allows a single line of the form
762 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
763 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
764 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
765 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
766 irrespective of the existance or lack of
767 interface=<interface>
768 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
769 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
770 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
771 configuration.
772
773 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
774
775 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
776 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
777
778 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
779 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
780 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
781 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
782
783 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
784 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
785 file, not the process/descriptor.
786
787 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
788 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
789
790 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
791 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
792 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
793 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
794 this and testing the fix.
795
796 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
797 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
798 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
799
800 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
801 upstream servers: this allows something like
802 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
803 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
804 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
805 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
806
807 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
808 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
809 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
810 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
811 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
812 work on this.
813
814 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
815 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
816 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
817 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
818 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
819 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
820 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
821
822 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
823
824 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
825 than one server available for a domain, eg.
826 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
827 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
828 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
829 here.
830
831 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
832
833 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
834 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
835
836 Fix regression which caused configuration like
837 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
838 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
839 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
840 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
841
842 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
843 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
844
845 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
846 is set.
847
848 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
849 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
850
851 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
852
853 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
854
855 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
856
857 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
858
859 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
860 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
861 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
862
863 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

865
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000866version 2.52
867 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
868 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
869 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
870 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
871 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
872 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
873 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
874 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
875
876 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
877 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
878 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
879 necessary for some *WRT distros.
880
881 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
882 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
883 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
884 when dnsmasq is first started.
885
886 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
887 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
888 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
889 with certain clients.
890
891 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
892 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
893 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
894
895 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
896 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
897 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
898 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
899 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
900 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
901 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
902 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
903 numbers delimited by dots.
904
905 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
906 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
907
908 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
909 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
910
911 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
912 contrib/Solaris10.
913
914 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
915 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
916 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
917 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
918 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
919 addresses available in such an installation removes a
920 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
921
922 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
923 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
924 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
925 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
926
927 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
928 the lease-change script in the environment variable
929 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
930
931 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
932 Options". The syntax looks like this:
933 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
934
935 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
936 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
937 looks like this:
938 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
939
940 Add some application specific code to assist in
941 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
942 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
943
944 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
945 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
946 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
947 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
948
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100949 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000950 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
951
952 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
953 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
954 this.
955
956 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
957 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
958 providing this.
959
960 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
961 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
962
963 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
964
965 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
966
967 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
968
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100969 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
970 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
971 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
972 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000973
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100974
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100975version 2.51
976 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
977 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
978 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
979 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
980 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
981 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
982 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
983 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
984 suggestion.
985
986 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
987 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
988 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
989 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
990 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
991 a DHCP relay, if used.
992 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
993
994 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
995 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
996
997 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
998 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
999 dhcp-option-force.
1000
1001 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1002 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1003 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1004
1005 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1006 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1007 the patch.
1008
1009 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1010
1011 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1012 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1013
1014 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1015 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1016 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1017 suggestion.
1018
1019 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1020 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1021 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1022 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1023 dhcp-optsfile.
1024
1025 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1026 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1027 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1028 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1029 suggestion.
1030
1031 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1032 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1033 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1034 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1035 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1036
1037 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1038 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1039 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1040 fragmented packets.
1041
1042 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1043 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1044
1045 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001049 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001050 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1051 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1052 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1053 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1054 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1055 and CVE: 2009-2957
1056
1057 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1058 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1059 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1060 CVE: 2009-2958

1064 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1065 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1066
1067 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1068 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1069 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1070 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1071
1072 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001075version 2.48
1076 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1077 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1078 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001079
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001080 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1081 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1082 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001083
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001084 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1085 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1086 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001087
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001088 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1089 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1090 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1091 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001092
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001093 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1094 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001095
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001096 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1097 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1098 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1099 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001100
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001101 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1102 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1103 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001104
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001105 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1106 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1107 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001108
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001109 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001110
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001111 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1112 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1113 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1114 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1115 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1116 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1117 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1118 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1119 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001120
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001121 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1122 useful suggestions.
1123
1124 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1125 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1126 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1127
1128 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1129 configuration files only.

1134version 2.47
1135 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1136
1137 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1138 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1139
1140 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1141 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1142 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1143
1144 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1145 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1146 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1147 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1148 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1149 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1150 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1151 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1152 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1153 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1154 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1155 Krafft for the bug report.
1156
1157 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1158
1159 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1160 Fix for this bug:
1161 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1162
1163 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1164 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1165 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1166 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1167
1168 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1169 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1170
1171 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1172
1173 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1174 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1175 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1176 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1177 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1178
1179 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1180 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1181
1182 No longer complain about blank lines in
1183 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1184
1185 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1186 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1187 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1188 for the bug report.
1189
1190 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1191 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1192 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1193 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1194
1195 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1196 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1197 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1198 as before.
1199 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1200 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1201 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1202
1203 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1204 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1205 Windows even when using supernetting.
1206 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1207 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1208 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1209 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1210
1211 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1212
1213 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1214 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1215 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1216 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1217 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1218 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1219 dnsmasq.

1222version 2.46
1223 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1224 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1225 suggestion.
1226
1227 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1228 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1229 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1230 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1231 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1232
1233 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1234 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1235 based in their IP address.
1236
1237 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1238 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1239 a domain associated with each client, and only
1240 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1241 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1242 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1243 long as they are in different domains.
1244
1245 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1246 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1247 have now that it's variable.
1248
1249 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1250 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1251 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1252 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1253 potential.
1254
1255 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1256 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1257 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1258
1259 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1260 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1261
1262 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1263 which the DHCP request was received.

1265 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1266 Laine for the patch.
1267
1268 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1269 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1270
1271 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1272 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1273 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1274 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1275 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1276 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1277 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1278 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1279 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1280 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1281 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1282
1283 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1284 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1285 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1286 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1287 improvement.
1288
1289 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1290 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1291 suggestions on this.
1292
1293 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1294 Fisher.
1295
1296 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1297
1298 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1299 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1300
1301 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1302
1303 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1304 up" event occurs.
1305
1306
1307version 2.45
1308 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1309 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1310 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1311 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1312
1313
1314version 2.44
1315 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1316 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1317 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1318
1319 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1320 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1321 never been reported in the wild.
1322
1323 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1324 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1325
1326 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1327 is large.
1328
1329 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1330 David Gilman.
1331
1332 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1333
1334
1335version 2.43
1336 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1337
1338 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1339 illegally.
1340
1341 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1342
1343 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1344 format.
1345
1346 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1347 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1348 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1349 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1350 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1351
1352 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1353 Rack for the bug report.
1354
1355 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1356 Bergquist.
1357
1358 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1359 option.
1360
1361 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1362 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1363
1364 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1365 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1366
1367 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1368 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1369 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1370 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1371 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1372 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1373 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1374 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1375 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1376 suggestions.
1377
1378 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1379 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1380 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1381
1382 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1383 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1384 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1385 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1386 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1387 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1388 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1389 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1390 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1391 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1392
1393 Replace the random number generator, for better
1394 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1395 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1396 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1397 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1398 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1399 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1400
1401 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1402 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1403 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1404 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1405 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1406
1407 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
