Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +00001version 2.69
2 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
3 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
4 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
5 valuable research on how to implement this.

Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +00008version 2.68
9 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
10 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
11 addresses.
12
13 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
14 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
15 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
16 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
17 restarted, this bug disappeared.
18
19 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
20 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
21
22 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
23
24 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
25 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
26 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
27 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
28 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
29 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
30 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
31 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
32 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
33 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
34 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
35 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
36 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +000037
38 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
39 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
40 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
41 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +000042
43 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
44 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
45
46 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
47 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +000048
49 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
50 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
51 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
52 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
53 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +000054
55 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
56 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
57 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
58 corresponding address on the local interface.

Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +000060
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010061version 2.67
62 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
63 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
64 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +010065
66 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
67 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
68 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
69 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
70 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
71 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
72 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
73 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +010074
75 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
76 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
77 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +010078
79 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
80 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +010081
82 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
83 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +010084
85 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
86 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
87 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
88 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
89 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
90 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
91 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
92 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010093
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +010094 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
95 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
96 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
97 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
98 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010099
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100100 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
101 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
102
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100103 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
104 spurious error when all seven possible items were
105 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100106
107 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
108 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
109
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100110 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
111 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
112
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100113 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
114 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
115 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
116 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
117 report.
118
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100119 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
120 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
121 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
122
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100123 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero
Simon Kelley3953dcc2013-07-03 20:40:45 +0100124 terminator. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the bug report.
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100125
Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100126 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
127 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
128
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100129 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
130 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
131 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
132 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
133
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100134 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
135 via DBus too.
136
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100137 When the address which triggered the construction of an
138 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
139 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
140 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
141 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
142 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
143 arguing for this.
144
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100145 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
146 for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100147
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100148 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
149 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
150 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
151 for suggesting this.
152
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100153 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
154 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
155
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100156 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
157 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
158 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
159 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
160 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
161
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100162 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
163 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100164
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100165 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
166 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
167
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100168 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
169 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
170 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
171
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100172 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
173 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
174
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100175 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
176 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
177 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
178 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
179 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100180
181 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
182 address must be either the first or last address in the
183 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
184 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100185
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100186 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
187
Tanguy Bouzelocef1d7422013-10-03 11:06:31 +0100188 Fix problem in DHCPv6 vendorclass/userclass matching
189 code. Thanks to Tanguy Bouzeloc for the patch.
190
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100191 Update Spanish transalation. Thanks to Vicente Soriano.
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100192
Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100193 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
194 inspiration on this.
195
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100196 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100197 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
198 for sponsoring this feature.
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100199
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100200 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
201 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
202
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100203 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
204 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
205 suggestion.
206
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100207 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
208 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
209 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
210 spotting the problem.
211
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100212 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
213 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.
214
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100215
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000216version 2.66
217 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
218 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
219 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
220 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
221 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
222 servers to be configured.
223
224 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
225 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
226 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
227 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
228 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
229 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
230 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
231 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000232
233 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000234 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
235 patch.
236
237 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
238 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
239 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
240 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
241 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
242 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
243 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000244
245 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
246 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
247 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000248
249 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
250 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000251 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000252 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
253 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
254 bounty for this addition.
255
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000256 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
257 information-requests with some common configurations.
258 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
259 chasing the problem.
260
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000261 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
262 patch.
263
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000264 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000265 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000266
267 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
268 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000269
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100270 Handle the situation where libc headers define
271 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
272 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
273 Felker for the bug report.
274
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100275 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100276
277 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
278 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
279 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100280
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100281 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
282
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000283
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000284version 2.65
285 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
286 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
287 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
288
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000289 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
290 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000291
292 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000293
294
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100295version 2.64
296 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
297 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
298 spotting the problem.
299
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100300 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
301 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
302 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
303 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
304 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
305 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
306
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100307 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
308 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
309
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100310 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
311 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
312
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100313 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
314 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
315
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000316 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100317 Williams for the patch.
318
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000319 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
320 Roy Marples for the patch.
321
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100322 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
323 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100324
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100325 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
326 for the patch.
327
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100328 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
329 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
330 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
331
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100332 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
333 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
334 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
335 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
336
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100337 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
338 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
339 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
340
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100341 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
342 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
343 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
344
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000345 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
346 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
347 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000348
349 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
350 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000351
352 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
353 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
354 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000355
356 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
357 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
358 without setting source address and interface, since this
359 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
360 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100369 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
370 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
371
372 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
373 stuff is pointless without that.
374
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100375 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
376 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
377 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100378
379 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
380 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100381
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100382 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
383 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
384 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
385 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
386 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
387 superceded by other mechanisms.
388
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100389 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
390 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
391
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100392 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100397 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
398 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
399 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
400 the suggestion.
401
402 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
403 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
404 spotted the ommission.

422
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100423 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
424 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
425 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
426
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100427 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
428 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
429 for spotting this.
430
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100431 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
432 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
433 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
434
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100435 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
436
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100437 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
438 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
439 his help nailing this.
440
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000441version 2.61
442 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
443 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
444 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
445 addresses.
446
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100447 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
448 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
449 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
450 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
451 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
452 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000456 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
457 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
458 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100459 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking

463 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
464 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
465
466 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
467
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000468 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
469 suggestion.
470
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000471 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
472 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
473 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
474 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
475 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
476 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
477 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
478 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
479 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
480 Gadgil.
481
482 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
483 the above.
484
485 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
486 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can

488 Forkel.
489
490 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
491 work even if there is no interface carrying the
492 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
493 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
494 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
495 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
496 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000498 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
499 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
500 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
501
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100502 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
503 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
504 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
505 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
506 for existing connections, but new connections will use
507 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
508 renumbering at least possible.
509
510 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000552 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
553 which is not the primary address of an interface.
554
555 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
556
557 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
558 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
559 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
560 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
561 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
562 implementation.
563
564 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
565 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
566 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
567 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
568 set them from the make command line.
569
570 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
571 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

580 containing many distinct addresses.
581
582 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
583 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
584 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
585 this.
586
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000587 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
588 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
589
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000590 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
591 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
592 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
593 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
594
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000595 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
596 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
597 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
598 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000599 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000600 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
601
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000602 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
603 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
604 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
605 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
606 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
607 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
608 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
609 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
610 These will be added as the standards mature.
611 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
612 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
613 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000614
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000615 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
616 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
617 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
618 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
619 enabling with --enable-ra.
620
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000621 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
622 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
623 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
624 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

630
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000631version 2.59
632 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
633 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
634 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
635 report.
636
637 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
638 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
639 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
640 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
641 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
642 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
643 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
644 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
645 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100646
647
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100648version 2.58
649 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
650 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
651
652 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
653 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
654 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
655
656 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
657 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
658 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
659 server-deployment applications need this.
660
661 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
662 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
663 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
664 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
665 in chasing this one down.
666
667 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
668 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
669 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
670 the problem.
671
672 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
673 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
674 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
675 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
676 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
677 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
678
679 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
680 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
681 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
682 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
683 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
684 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
685 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
686 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
687
688 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
689 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
690
691 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
692 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
693 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
694 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
695
696 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
697 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
698
699 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
700 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
701 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
702 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
703 Agrawal for the patch.
704
705 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
706 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
707 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
708 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
709 per-network values. So
710 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
711 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
712 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
713 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
714 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
715 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
716
717 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
718 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
719 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
720 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
721 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
722 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
723 a comprehensive test-case.
724
725 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
726 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100727 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100728
729 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
730 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
731 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
732 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000740version 2.57
741 Add patches to allow build under Android.
742
743 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
744 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
745 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
746 effectively empty on Android.
747
748 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
749 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
750 wildcard.
751
752 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
753 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
754 spotting this.
755
756 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
757 IDN support continues to be included automatically
758 when i18n is included.
759 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
760
761 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
762 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
763 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
764
765
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000766version 2.56
767 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
768 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
769
770 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
771 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
772 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
773 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
774
775 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
776 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
777
778 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
779 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
780 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
781
782 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
783 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
784 syslogd.
785
786 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
787 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
788 Petrin for the orignal patch.
789
790 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
791 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
792 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
793
794 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
795 option, on the command line.
796
797 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
798 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
799
800 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
801 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
802 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
803 to John Hallam for the patch.
804
805 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
806 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
807 character chunks instead.
808
809 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
810 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
811 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
812 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
813
814 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
815 transfer has completed succesfully.
816
817 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
818 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
819 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
820 which automatically creates
821 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
822 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
823
824 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
825 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
826
827 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
828 thanks for that.
829
830 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
831 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
832 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
833 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
834 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
835 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
836 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
837 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
838 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
839
840 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
841 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
842 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
843 set.
844
845 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
846 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
847
848 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
849 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
850 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
851
852 Edit
853 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
854 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
855 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
856
857 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
858 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
859 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
860 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
861 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
862 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
863 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
864 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
865 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
866 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
867 So:
868 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
869 --server=/google.com/#
870 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
871 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
872 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
873 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
874 William for pointing out the need for this.
875
876 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
877 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
878 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
879
880 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
881 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
882 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
883 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
884
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000885 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
886 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks
887 to Fedor Kozhevnikov for spotting this.

892 Gianluigi Tiesi for finding this.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100893
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000894 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
895 finding this one.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100896
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000897 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)
898 options.

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000902 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
903 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.

905
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100906version 2.53
907 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
908 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
909
910 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
911 generated by gcc 4.4.
912
913 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
914 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
915
916 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
917 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
918 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
919
920 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
921 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
922 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
923 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
924 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
925 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
926 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
927 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
928 the documentation and new-style config files should be
929 much less confusing.
930
931 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
932 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
933 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
934
935 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
936
937 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
938
939 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
940 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
941 finding this.
942
943 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
944 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
945 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
946 from the client.
947
948 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
949 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
950 finding this.
951
952 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
953 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
954 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
955 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
956 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
957 server-override option.
958
959 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
960 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
961 allows a single line of the form
962 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
963 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
964 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
965 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
966 irrespective of the existance or lack of
967 interface=<interface>
968 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
969 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
970 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
971 configuration.
972
973 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
974
975 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
976 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
977
978 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
979 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
980 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
981 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
982
983 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
984 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
985 file, not the process/descriptor.
986
987 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
988 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
989
990 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
991 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
992 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
993 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
994 this and testing the fix.
995
996 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
997 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
998 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
999
1000 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1001 upstream servers: this allows something like
1002 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1003 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1004 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1005 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1006
1007 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1008 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1009 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1010 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1011 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1012 work on this.
1013
1014 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1015 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1016 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1017 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1018 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1019 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1020 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1021
1022 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1023
1024 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1025 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1026 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1027 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1028 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1029 here.
1030
1031 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1032
1033 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1034 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1035
1036 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1037 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1038 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1039 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1040 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1041
1042 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1043 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1044
1045 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1046 is set.
1047
1048 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1049 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1050
1051 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1052
1053 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1054
1055 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1056
1057 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1058
1059 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1060 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1061 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1062
1063 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1064
1065
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001066version 2.52
1067 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1068 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1069 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1070 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1071 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1072 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1073 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1074 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1075
1076 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1077 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1078 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1079 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1080
1081 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1082 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1083 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1084 when dnsmasq is first started.
1085
1086 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1087 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1088 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1089 with certain clients.
1090
1091 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1092 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1093 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1094
1095 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1096 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1097 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1098 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1099 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1100 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1101 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1102 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1103 numbers delimited by dots.
1104
1105 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1106 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1107
1108 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1109 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1110
1111 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1112 contrib/Solaris10.
1113
1114 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1115 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1116 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1117 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1118 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1119 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1120 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1121
1122 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1123 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1124 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1125 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1126
1127 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1128 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1129 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1130
1131 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1132 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1133 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1134
1135 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1136 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1137 looks like this:
1138 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1139
1140 Add some application specific code to assist in
1141 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1142 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1143
1144 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1145 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1146 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1147 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1148
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001149 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001150 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1151
1152 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1153 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1154 this.
1155
1156 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1157 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1158 providing this.
1159
1160 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1161 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1162
1163 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1164
1165 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1166
1167 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1168
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001169 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1170 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1171 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1172 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001173
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001174
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001175version 2.51
1176 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1177 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1178 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1179 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1180 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1181 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1182 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1183 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1184 suggestion.
1185
1186 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1187 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1188 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1189 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1190 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1191 a DHCP relay, if used.
1192 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1193
1194 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1195 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1196
1197 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1198 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1199 dhcp-option-force.
1200
1201 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1202 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1203 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1204
1205 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1206 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1207 the patch.
1208
1209 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1210
1211 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1212 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1213
1214 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1215 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1216 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1217 suggestion.
1218
1219 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1220 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1221 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1222 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1223 dhcp-optsfile.
1224
1225 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1226 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1227 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1228 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1229 suggestion.
1230
1231 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1232 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1233 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1234 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1235 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1236
1237 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1238 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1239 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1240 fragmented packets.
1241
1242 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1243 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1244
1245 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001249 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001250 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1251 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1252 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1253 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1254 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1255 and CVE: 2009-2957
1256
1257 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1258 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1259 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1260 CVE: 2009-2958
1261
1262
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001263version 2.49
1264 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1265 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1266
1267 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1268 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1269 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1270 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1271
1272 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001275version 2.48
1276 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1277 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1278 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001279
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001280 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1281 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1282 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001283
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001284 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1285 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1286 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001287
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001288 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1289 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1290 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1291 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001292
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001293 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1294 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001295
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001296 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1297 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1298 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1299 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001300
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001301 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1302 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1303 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001304
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001305 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1306 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1307 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001308
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001309 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001310
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001311 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1312 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1313 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1314 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1315 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1316 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1317 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1318 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1319 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001320
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001321 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1322 useful suggestions.
1323
1324 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1325 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1326 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1327
1328 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1329 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001330
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001331 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001332
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001333
1334version 2.47
1335 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1336
1337 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1338 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1339
1340 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1341 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1342 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1343
1344 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1345 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1346 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1347 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1348 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1349 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1350 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1351 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1352 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1353 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1354 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1355 Krafft for the bug report.
1356
1357 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1358
1359 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1360 Fix for this bug:
1361 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1362
1363 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1364 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1365 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1366 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1367
1368 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1369 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1370
1371 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1372
1373 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1374 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1375 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1376 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1377 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1378
1379 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1380 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1381
1382 No longer complain about blank lines in
1383 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1384
1385 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1386 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1387 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1388 for the bug report.
1389
1390 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1391 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1392 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1393 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1394
1395 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1396 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1397 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1398 as before.
1399 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1400 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1401 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1402
1403 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1404 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1405 Windows even when using supernetting.
1406 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1407 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1408 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1409 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1410
1411 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1412
1413 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1414 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1415 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1416 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1417 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1418 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1419 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001420
1421
1422version 2.46
1423 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1424 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1425 suggestion.
1426
1427 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1428 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1429 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1430 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1431 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1432
1433 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1434 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1435 based in their IP address.
1436
1437 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1438 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1439 a domain associated with each client, and only
1440 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1441 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1442 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1443 long as they are in different domains.
1444
1445 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1446 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1447 have now that it's variable.
1448
1449 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1450 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1451 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1452 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1453 potential.
1454
1455 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1456 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1457 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1458
1459 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1460 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1461
1462 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1463 which the DHCP request was received.
1464
1465 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1466 Laine for the patch.
1467
1468 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1469 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1470
1471 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1472 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1473 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1474 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1475 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1476 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1477 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1478 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1479 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1480 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1481 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1482
1483 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1484 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1485 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1486 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1487 improvement.
1488
1489 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1490 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1491 suggestions on this.
1492
1493 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1494 Fisher.
1495
1496 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1497
1498 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1499 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1500
1501 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1502
1503 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1504 up" event occurs.
1505
1506
1507version 2.45
1508 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1509 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1510 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1511 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1512
1513
1514version 2.44
1515 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1516 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1517 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1518
1519 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1520 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1521 never been reported in the wild.
1522
1523 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1524 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1525
1526 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1527 is large.
1528
1529 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1530 David Gilman.
1531
1532 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1533
1534
1535version 2.43
1536 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1537
1538 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1539 illegally.
1540
1541 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1542
1543 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1544 format.
1545
1546 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1547 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1548 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1549 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1550 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1551
1552 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1553 Rack for the bug report.
1554
1555 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1556 Bergquist.
1557
1558 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1559 option.
1560
1561 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1562 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1563
1564 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1565 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1566
1567 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1568 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1569 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1570 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1571 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1572 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1573 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1574 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1575 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1576 suggestions.
1577
1578 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1579 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1580 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1581
1582 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1583 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1584 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1585 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1586 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1587 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1588 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1589 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1590 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1591 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1592
1593 Replace the random number generator, for better
1594 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1595 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1596 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1597 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1598 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1599 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1600
1601 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1602 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1603 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1604 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1605 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1606
1607 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
