Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +00001version 2.65
2 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
3 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
4 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
5
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +00006 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
7 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +00008
9 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +000010
11
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +010012version 2.64
13 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
14 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
15 spotting the problem.
16
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +010017 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
18 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
19 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
20 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
21 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
22 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
23
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +010024 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
25 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
26
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +010027 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
28 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
29
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +010030 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
31 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
32
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +000033 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +010034 Williams for the patch.
35
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +000036 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
37 Roy Marples for the patch.
38
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +010039 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
40 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +010041
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +010042 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
43 for the patch.
44
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +010045 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
46 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
47 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
48
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +010049 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
50 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
51 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
52 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
53
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +010054 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
55 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
56 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
57
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +010058 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
59 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
60 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
61
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +000062 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
63 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
64 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +000065
66 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
67 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +000068
69 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
70 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
71 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +000072
73 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
74 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
75 without setting source address and interface, since this
76 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
77 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
78
79 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
80 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +010081
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +000082
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +010083version 2.63
84 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
85
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +010086 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
87 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
88
89 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
90 stuff is pointless without that.
91
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +010092 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
93 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
94 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +010095
96 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
97 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +010098
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +010099 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
100 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
101 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
102 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
103 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
104 superceded by other mechanisms.
105
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100106 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
107 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
108
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100109 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
110 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
111
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100112 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100113
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100114 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
115 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
116 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
117 the suggestion.
118
119 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
120 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
121 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100122
123 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100124
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100125 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
126 which overrides the default,
127 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
128 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
129
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100130 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
131 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
132
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100133
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100134version 2.62
135 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
136
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100137 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
138 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
139
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100140 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
141 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
142 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
143
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100144 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
145 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
146 for spotting this.
147
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100148 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
149 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
150 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
151
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100152 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
153
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100154 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
155 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
156 his help nailing this.
157
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000158version 2.61
159 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
160 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
161 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
162 addresses.
163
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100164 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
165 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
166 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
167 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
168 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
169 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000170
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000171 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
172
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000173 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
174 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
175 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100176 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000177 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000178
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000179 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
180 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
181 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
182
183 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
184
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000185 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
186 suggestion.
187
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000188 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
189 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
190 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
191 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
192 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
193 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
194 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
195 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
196 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
197 Gadgil.
198
199 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
200 the above.
201
202 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
203 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000204 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
205 Forkel.
206
207 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
208 work even if there is no interface carrying the
209 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
210 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
211 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
212 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
213 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000214
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000215 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
216 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
217 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
218
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100219 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
220 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
221 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
222 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
223 for existing connections, but new connections will use
224 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
225 renumbering at least possible.
226
227 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100228 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100229
230 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
231 using the settings provided for DHCP options
232 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +0100233
234 Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
235 SamLT for work on this.
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100236
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100237 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
238 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
239 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100240
241 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100242 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100243 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
244 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
245 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100246 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
247
248 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +0100249
250 Give correct from-cache answers to explict CNAME queries.
251 Thanks to Rob Zwissler for spotting this.
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100252
Simon Kelleyfc92ead2012-04-22 21:28:24 +0100253 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100254 patch.
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100255
256 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
257 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100258 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100259 Ene for the patch.
Simon Kelley19d69be2012-04-27 10:14:34 +0100260
261 Fix failure of TFTP over IPv4 on OpenBSD platform. Thanks
262 to Brad Smith for spotting this.
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100263
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100264
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000265version 2.60
266 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
267 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100268
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000269 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
270 which is not the primary address of an interface.
271
272 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
273
274 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
275 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
276 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
277 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
278 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
279 implementation.
280
281 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
282 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
283 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
284 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
285 set them from the make command line.
286
287 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
288 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
289
290 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
291 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
292
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000293 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
294 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000295
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000296 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
297 containing many distinct addresses.
298
299 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
300 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
301 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
302 this.
303
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000304 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
305 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
306
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000307 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
308 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
309 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
310 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
311
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000312 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
313 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
314 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
315 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000316 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000317 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
318
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000319 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
320 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
321 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
322 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
323 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
324 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
325 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
326 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
327 These will be added as the standards mature.
328 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
329 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
330 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000331
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000332 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
333 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
334 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
335 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
336 enabling with --enable-ra.
337
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000338 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
339 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
340 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
341 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000342
343 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000344
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000345 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
346
347
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000348version 2.59
349 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
350 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
351 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
352 report.
353
354 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
355 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
356 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
357 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
358 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
359 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
360 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
361 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
362 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

366 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
367 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
368
369 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
370 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
371 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
372
373 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
374 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
375 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
376 server-deployment applications need this.
377
378 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
379 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
380 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
381 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
382 in chasing this one down.
383
384 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
385 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
386 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
387 the problem.
388
389 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
390 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
391 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
392 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
393 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
394 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
395
396 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
397 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
398 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
399 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
400 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
401 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
402 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
403 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
404
405 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
406 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
407
408 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
409 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
410 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
411 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
412
413 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
414 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
415
416 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
417 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
418 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
419 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
420 Agrawal for the patch.
421
422 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
423 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
424 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
425 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
426 per-network values. So
427 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
428 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
429 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
430 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
431 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
432 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
433
434 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
435 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
436 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
437 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
438 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
439 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
440 a comprehensive test-case.
441
442 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
443 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100444 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100445
446 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
447 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
448 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
449 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
450 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000457version 2.57
458 Add patches to allow build under Android.
459
460 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
461 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
462 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
463 effectively empty on Android.
464
465 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
466 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
467 wildcard.
468
469 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
470 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
471 spotting this.
472
473 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
474 IDN support continues to be included automatically
475 when i18n is included.
476 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
477
478 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
479 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
480 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
481
482
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000483version 2.56
484 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
485 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
486
487 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
488 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
489 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
490 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
491
492 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
493 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
494
495 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
496 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
497 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
498
499 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
500 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
501 syslogd.
502
503 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
504 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
505 Petrin for the orignal patch.
506
507 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
508 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
509 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
510
511 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
512 option, on the command line.
513
514 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
515 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
516
517 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
518 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
519 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
520 to John Hallam for the patch.
521
522 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
523 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
524 character chunks instead.
525
526 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
527 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
528 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
529 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
530
531 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
532 transfer has completed succesfully.
533
534 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
535 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
536 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
537 which automatically creates
538 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
539 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
540
541 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
542 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
543
544 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
545 thanks for that.
546
547 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
548 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
549 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
550 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
551 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
552 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
553 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
554 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
555 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
556
557 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
558 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
559 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
560 set.
561
562 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
563 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
564
565 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
566 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
567 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
568
569 Edit
570 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
571 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
572 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
573
574 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
575 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
576 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
577 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
578 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
579 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
580 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
581 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
582 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
583 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
584 So:
585 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
586 --server=/google.com/#
587 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
588 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
589 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
590 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
591 William for pointing out the need for this.
592
593 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
594 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
595 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
596
597 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
598 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
599 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
600 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

624 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
625 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
626
627 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
628 generated by gcc 4.4.
629
630 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
631 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
632
633 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
634 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
635 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
636
637 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
638 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
639 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
640 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
641 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
642 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
643 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
644 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
645 the documentation and new-style config files should be
646 much less confusing.
647
648 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
649 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
650 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
651
652 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
653
654 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
655
656 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
657 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
658 finding this.
659
660 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
661 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
662 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
663 from the client.
664
665 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
666 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
667 finding this.
668
669 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
670 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
671 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
672 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
673 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
674 server-override option.
675
676 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
677 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
678 allows a single line of the form
679 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
680 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
681 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
682 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
683 irrespective of the existance or lack of
684 interface=<interface>
685 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
686 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
687 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
688 configuration.
689
690 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
691
692 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
693 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
694
695 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
696 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
697 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
698 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
699
700 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
701 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
702 file, not the process/descriptor.
703
704 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
705 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
706
707 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
708 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
709 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
710 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
711 this and testing the fix.
712
713 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
714 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
715 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
716
717 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
718 upstream servers: this allows something like
719 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
720 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
721 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
722 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
723
724 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
725 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
726 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
727 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
728 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
729 work on this.
730
731 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
732 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
733 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
734 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
735 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
736 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
737 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
738
739 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
740
741 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
742 than one server available for a domain, eg.
743 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
744 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
745 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
746 here.
747
748 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
749
750 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
751 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
752
753 Fix regression which caused configuration like
754 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
755 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
756 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
757 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
758
759 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
760 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
761
762 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
763 is set.
764
765 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
766 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
767
768 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
769
770 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
771
772 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
773
774 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.

776 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
777 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
778 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
779
780 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
781
782
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000783version 2.52
784 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
785 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
786 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
787 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
788 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
789 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
790 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
791 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
792
793 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
794 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
795 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
796 necessary for some *WRT distros.
797
798 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
799 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
800 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
801 when dnsmasq is first started.
802
803 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
804 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
805 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
806 with certain clients.
807
808 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
809 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
810 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
811
812 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
813 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
814 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
815 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
816 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
817 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
818 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
819 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
820 numbers delimited by dots.
821
822 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
823 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
824
825 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
826 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
827
828 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
829 contrib/Solaris10.
830
831 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
832 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
833 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
834 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
835 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
836 addresses available in such an installation removes a
837 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
838
839 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
840 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
841 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
842 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
843
844 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
845 the lease-change script in the environment variable
846 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
847
848 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
849 Options". The syntax looks like this:
850 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
851
852 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
853 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
854 looks like this:
855 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
856
857 Add some application specific code to assist in
858 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
859 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
860
861 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
862 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
863 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
864 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
865
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100866 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000867 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
868
869 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
870 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
871 this.
872
873 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
874 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
875 providing this.

877 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
878 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
879
880 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100886 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
887 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
888 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
889 finding and analysing the problem.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100892version 2.51
893 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
894 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
895 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
896 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
897 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
898 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
899 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
900 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
901 suggestion.
902
903 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
904 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
905 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
906 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
907 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
908 a DHCP relay, if used.
909 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
910
911 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
912 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
913
914 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
915 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
916 dhcp-option-force.
917
918 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
919 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
920 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
921
922 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
923 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
924 the patch.
925
926 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
927
928 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
929 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
930
931 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
932 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
933 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
934 suggestion.
935
936 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
937 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
938 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
939 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
940 dhcp-optsfile.
941
942 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
943 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
944 is retried. This should improve performance when there
945 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
946 suggestion.
947
948 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
949 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
950 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
951 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
952 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
953
954 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
955 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
956 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
957 fragmented packets.
958
959 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
960 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
961
962 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100966 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +0100967 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
968 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
969 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
970 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
971 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
972 and CVE: 2009-2957
973
974 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
975 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
976 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
977 CVE: 2009-2958
978

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +0100980version 2.49
981 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
982 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
983
984 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
985 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
986 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
987 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
988
989 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100992version 2.48
993 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to

995 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100997 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
998 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
999 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001000
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001001 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1002 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1003 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001004
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001005 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1006 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1007 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1008 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001009
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001010 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1011 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001012
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001013 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1014 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1015 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1016 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001017
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001018 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1019 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1020 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001021
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001022 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1023 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1024 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001025
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001026 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001027
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001028 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1029 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1030 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1031 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1032 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1033 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1034 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1035 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1036 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001037
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001038 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1039 useful suggestions.
1040
1041 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1042 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1043 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1044
1045 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1046 configuration files only.

1051version 2.47
1052 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1053
1054 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1055 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1056
1057 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1058 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1059 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1060
1061 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1062 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1063 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1064 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1065 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1066 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1067 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1068 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1069 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1070 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1071 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1072 Krafft for the bug report.
1073
1074 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1075
1076 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1077 Fix for this bug:
1078 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1079
1080 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1081 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1082 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1083 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1084
1085 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1086 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1087
1088 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1089
1090 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1091 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1092 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1093 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1094 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1095
1096 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1097 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1098
1099 No longer complain about blank lines in
1100 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1101
1102 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1103 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1104 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1105 for the bug report.
1106
1107 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1108 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1109 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1110 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1111
1112 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1113 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1114 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1115 as before.
1116 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1117 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1118 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1119
1120 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1121 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1122 Windows even when using supernetting.
1123 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1124 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1125 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1126 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1127
1128 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1129
1130 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1131 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1132 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1133 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1134 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1135 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1136 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001137
1138
1139version 2.46
1140 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1141 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1142 suggestion.
1143
1144 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1145 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1146 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1147 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1148 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1149
1150 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1151 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1152 based in their IP address.
1153
1154 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1155 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1156 a domain associated with each client, and only
1157 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1158 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1159 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1160 long as they are in different domains.
1161
1162 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1163 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1164 have now that it's variable.
1165
1166 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1167 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1168 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1169 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1170 potential.
1171
1172 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1173 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1174 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1175
1176 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1177 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1178
1179 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1180 which the DHCP request was received.
1181
1182 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1183 Laine for the patch.
1184
1185 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1186 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1187
1188 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1189 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1190 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1191 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1192 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1193 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1194 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1195 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1196 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1197 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1198 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1199
1200 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1201 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1202 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1203 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1204 improvement.
1205
1206 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1207 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1208 suggestions on this.
1209
1210 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1211 Fisher.
1212
1213 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1214
1215 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1216 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1217
1218 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1219
1220 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1221 up" event occurs.
1222
1223
1224version 2.45
1225 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1226 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1227 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1228 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1229
1230
1231version 2.44
1232 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1233 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1234 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1235
1236 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1237 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1238 never been reported in the wild.
1239
1240 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1241 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1242
1243 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1244 is large.
1245
1246 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1247 David Gilman.
1248
1249 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.

1252version 2.43
1253 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1254
1255 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1256 illegally.
1257
1258 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1259
1260 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1261 format.
1262
1263 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1264 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1265 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1266 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1267 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1268
1269 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1270 Rack for the bug report.
1271
1272 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1273 Bergquist.
1274
1275 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1276 option.
1277
1278 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1279 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1280
1281 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1282 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1283
1284 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1285 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1286 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1287 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1288 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1289 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1290 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1291 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1292 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1293 suggestions.
1294
1295 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1296 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1297 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1298
1299 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1300 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1301 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1302 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1303 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1304 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1305 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1306 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1307 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1308 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1309
1310 Replace the random number generator, for better
1311 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1312 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1313 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1314 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1315 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1316 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1317
1318 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
