Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +01001version 2.73
2 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
3 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
4 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +00005
6 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
7 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
8 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.

Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +000010 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
11 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
12 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling.
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +000013
14 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
15 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
16 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +000017
18 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
19 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
20 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
21 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +000022
23 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
24 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +000025
26 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
27 queries which include the specified address. No error is
28 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
29 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
30 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
31 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
32 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +000033
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +000034 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
35 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
36 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
37 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
38 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
39 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
40 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
41 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +010042
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +000043 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
44 to search automatically.
45
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +000046 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
47 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
48 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
49 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
50 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
51 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.

Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +000053
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +010054version 2.72
Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +010055 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
56
57 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
58 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +010059
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +010060 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
61 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
62 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +010063
64 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
65 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +010066
67 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
68 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +010069
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +010070 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
71 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
72 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
73 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
74 patch.
75
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +010076 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
77 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
78 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
79 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
80 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
81 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
82
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +010083 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
84 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
85 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +010086
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +010087 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
88 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +010089
90 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
91 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
92 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +010093
94 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
95 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.
96
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +010097
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +010098version 2.71
99 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
100 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
101 non-existent DS records.
102
103 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
104 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
105 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
106 report.
107
108 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
109 for spotting that too.
110
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100111 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
112 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
113 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
114
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100115
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100116version 2.70
117 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
118 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
119 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
120
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100121 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
122 Wang Jian for the bug report.
123
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100124
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000125version 2.69
126 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
127 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
128 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
129 valuable research on how to implement this.
130
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000131 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000132 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000133
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000134 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
135 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
136 for spotting the problem.
137
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000138 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
139 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
140 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
141 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
142 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
143
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000144 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
145 compiled with this enabled, with
146
147 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
148
149 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
150 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
151 statically with
152
153 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
154
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100155 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
156 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
157
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000158 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
159 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
160 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
161 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
162 distribution. You should of course check that these are
163 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
164
165 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
166 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000167
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000168 to your config is all thats needed to get things
169 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
170 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
171 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
172 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
173 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
174 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
175 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
176 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
177 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
178 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
179 records, which significantly improve the performance of
180 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
181 DNSSEC in action.
182
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100183 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
184 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
185 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
186 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
187 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
188 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
189 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
190 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
191 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
192 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
193 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
194 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
195 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
196 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
197 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
198 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
199
200 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
201 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
202 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
203 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
204 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
205 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
206 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
207 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
208 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
209 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
210 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
211 henceforward will be complete.
212
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000213 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
214 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
215 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
216 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
217 a workable state.
218
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000219 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000220
221 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
222 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000223
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000224 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
225 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
226 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000227 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000228 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
229 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
230 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
231 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
232
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000233 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
234 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
235 find this and helping to chase it down.
236
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100237 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
238 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
239 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
240
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100241 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
242 well as logging them.
243
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000244
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000245version 2.68
246 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
247 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
248 addresses.
249
250 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
251 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
252 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
253 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
254 restarted, this bug disappeared.
255
256 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
257 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
258
259 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
260
261 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
262 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
263 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
264 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
265 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
266 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
267 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
268 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
269 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
270 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
271 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
272 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
273 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000274
275 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
276 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
277 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
278 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000279
280 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
281 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
282
283 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
284 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000285
286 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
287 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
288 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
289 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
290 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000291
292 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
293 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
294 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
295 corresponding address on the local interface.
296
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000297
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100298version 2.67
299 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
300 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
301 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100302
303 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
304 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
305 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
306 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
307 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
308 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
309 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
310 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100311
312 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
313 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
314 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100315
316 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
317 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100318
319 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
320 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100321
322 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
323 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
324 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
325 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
326 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
327 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
328 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
329 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100330
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100331 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
332 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
333 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
334 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
335 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100336
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100337 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
338 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
339
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100340 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
341 spurious error when all seven possible items were
342 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100343
344 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
345 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
346
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100347 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
348 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
349
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100350 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
351 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
352 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
353 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
354 report.
355
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100356 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
357 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
358 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
359
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100360 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero

Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100362
Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100363 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
364 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
365
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100366 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
367 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
368 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
369 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
370
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100371 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers

Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100374 When the address which triggered the construction of an
375 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
376 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
377 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
378 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
379 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
380 arguing for this.
381
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100382 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
383 for the bug report.

Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100385 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
386 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
387 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
388 for suggesting this.
389
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100390 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
391 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
392
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100393 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
394 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
395 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
396 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
397 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
398
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100399 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
400 for sponsoring this development.

Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100402 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
403 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
404
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100405 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
406 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
407 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.

Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100409 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
410 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
411
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100412 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
413 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
414 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
415 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
416 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100417
418 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
419 address must be either the first or last address in the
420 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
421 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100422
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100423 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

431 inspiration on this.
432
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100433 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100434 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
435 for sponsoring this feature.

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100437 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
438 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
439
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100440 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
441 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
442 suggestion.
443
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100444 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
445 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
446 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
447 spotting the problem.
448
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100449 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
450 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.

Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100452
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000453version 2.66
454 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
455 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
456 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
457 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
458 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
459 servers to be configured.
460
461 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
462 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
463 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
464 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
465 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
466 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
467 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
468 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000469
470 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000471 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
472 patch.
473
474 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
475 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
476 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
477 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
478 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
479 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
480 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000481
482 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
483 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
484 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000485
486 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
487 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000488 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000489 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
490 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
491 bounty for this addition.
492
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000493 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
494 information-requests with some common configurations.
495 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
496 chasing the problem.
497
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000498 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
499 patch.
500
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000501 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000502 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000503
504 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
505 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000506
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100507 Handle the situation where libc headers define
508 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
509 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
510 Felker for the bug report.
511
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100512 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100513
514 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
515 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
516 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100517
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100518 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.

Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000520
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000521version 2.65
522 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
523 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
524 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
525
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000526 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
527 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000528
529 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000530
531
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100532version 2.64
533 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
534 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
535 spotting the problem.
536
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100537 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
538 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
539 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
540 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
541 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
542 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
543
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100544 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
545 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
546
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100547 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in

549
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100550 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100562 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
563 for the patch.
564
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100565 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
566 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
567 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
568
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100569 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
570 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
571 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
572 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
573
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100574 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
575 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
576 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
577
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100578 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
579 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
580 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
581
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000582 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
583 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
584 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000585
586 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
587 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000588
589 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
590 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
591 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000592
593 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
594 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
595 without setting source address and interface, since this
596 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
597 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100606 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
607 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
608
609 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
610 stuff is pointless without that.
611
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100612 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
613 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
614 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100615

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100619 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
620 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
621 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
622 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
623 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
624 superceded by other mechanisms.
625
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100626 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100634 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
635 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
636 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
637 the suggestion.
638
639 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
640 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
641 spotted the ommission.

659
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100660 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
661 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
662 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
663
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100664 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
665 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
666 for spotting this.
667
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100668 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when

Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100672 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
673
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100674 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
675 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
676 his help nailing this.
677
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000678version 2.61
679 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
680 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
681 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
682 addresses.
683
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100684 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
685 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
686 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
687 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
688 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
689 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000690
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000691 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
692
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000693 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
694 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
695 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100696 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000697 this down.

700 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
701 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
702
703 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
704
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000705 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the

Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000708 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
709 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
710 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
711 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
712 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
713 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
714 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment

726
727 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
728 work even if there is no interface carrying the
729 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
730 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
731 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
732 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
733 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000735 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
736 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
737 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
738
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100739 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
740 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
741 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
742 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
743 for existing connections, but new connections will use
744 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
745 renumbering at least possible.
746
747 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000789 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
790 which is not the primary address of an interface.
791
792 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
793
794 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
795 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
796 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
797 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
798 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
799 implementation.
800
801 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
802 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
803 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
804 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
805 set them from the make command line.
806
807 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
808 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

819 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
820 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
821 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
822 this.
823
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000824 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
825 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
826
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000827 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
828 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
829 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
830 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
831
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000832 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
833 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
834 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
835 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000836 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000837 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
838
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000839 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
840 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
841 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
842 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
843 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
844 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
845 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
846 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
847 These will be added as the standards mature.
848 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
849 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
850 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000851
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000852 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
853 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
854 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
855 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
856 enabling with --enable-ra.
857
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000858 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
859 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
860 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
861 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

867
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000868version 2.59
869 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
870 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
871 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
872 report.
873
874 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
875 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
876 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
877 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
878 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
879 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
880 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
881 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
882 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100883
884
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100885version 2.58
886 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
887 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
888
889 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
890 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
891 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
892
893 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
894 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
895 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
896 server-deployment applications need this.
897
898 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
899 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
900 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
901 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
902 in chasing this one down.
903
904 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
905 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
906 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
907 the problem.
908
909 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
910 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
911 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
912 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
913 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
914 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
915
916 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
917 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
918 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
919 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
920 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
921 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
922 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
923 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
924
925 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
926 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
927
928 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
929 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
930 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
931 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
932
933 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
934 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
935
936 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
937 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
938 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
939 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
940 Agrawal for the patch.
941
942 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
943 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
944 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
945 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
946 per-network values. So
947 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
948 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
949 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
950 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
951 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
952 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
953
954 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
955 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
956 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
957 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
958 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
959 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
960 a comprehensive test-case.
961
962 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
963 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100964 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100965
966 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
967 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
968 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
969 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000977version 2.57
978 Add patches to allow build under Android.
979
980 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
981 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
982 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
983 effectively empty on Android.
984
985 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
986 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
987 wildcard.
988
989 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
990 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
991 spotting this.
992
993 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
994 IDN support continues to be included automatically
995 when i18n is included.
996 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
997
998 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
999 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1000 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001003version 2.56
1004 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1005 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1006
1007 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1008 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1009 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1010 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1011
1012 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1013 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1014
1015 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1016 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1017 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1018
1019 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1020 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1021 syslogd.
1022
1023 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1024 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1025 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1026
1027 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1028 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1029 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1030
1031 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1032 option, on the command line.
1033
1034 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1035 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1036
1037 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1038 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1039 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1040 to John Hallam for the patch.
1041
1042 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1043 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1044 character chunks instead.
1045
1046 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1047 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1048 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1049 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1050
1051 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1052 transfer has completed succesfully.
1053
1054 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1055 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1056 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1057 which automatically creates
1058 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1059 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1060
1061 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1062 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1063
1064 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1065 thanks for that.
1066
1067 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1068 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1069 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1070 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1071 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1072 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1073 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1074 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1075 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1076
1077 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1078 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1079 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1080 set.
1081
1082 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1083 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1084
1085 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1086 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1087 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1088
1089 Edit
1090 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1091 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1092 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1093
1094 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1095 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1096 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1097 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1098 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1099 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1100 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1101 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1102 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1103 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1104 So:
1105 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1106 --server=/google.com/#
1107 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1108 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1109 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1110 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1111 William for pointing out the need for this.
1112
1113 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1114 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1115 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1116
1117 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1118 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1119 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1120 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001139 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
1140 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001143version 2.53
1144 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1145 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1146
1147 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1148 generated by gcc 4.4.
1149
1150 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1151 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1152
1153 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1154 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1155 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1156
1157 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1158 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1159 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1160 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1161 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1162 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1163 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1164 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1165 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1166 much less confusing.
1167
1168 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1169 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1170 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1171
1172 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1173
1174 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1175
1176 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1177 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1178 finding this.
1179
1180 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1181 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1182 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1183 from the client.
1184
1185 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1186 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1187 finding this.
1188
1189 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1190 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1191 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1192 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1193 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1194 server-override option.
1195
1196 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1197 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1198 allows a single line of the form
1199 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1200 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1201 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1202 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1203 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1204 interface=<interface>
1205 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1206 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1207 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1208 configuration.
1209
1210 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1211
1212 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1213 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1214
1215 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1216 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1217 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1218 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1219
1220 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1221 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1222 file, not the process/descriptor.
1223
1224 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1225 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1226
1227 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1228 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1229 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1230 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1231 this and testing the fix.
1232
1233 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1234 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1235 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1236
1237 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1238 upstream servers: this allows something like
1239 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1240 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1241 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1242 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1243
1244 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1245 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1246 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1247 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1248 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1249 work on this.
1250
1251 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1252 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1253 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1254 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1255 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1256 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1257 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1258
1259 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1260
1261 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1262 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1263 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1264 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1265 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1266 here.
1267
1268 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1269
1270 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1271 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1272
1273 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1274 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1275 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1276 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1277 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1278
1279 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1280 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1281
1282 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1283 is set.
1284
1285 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1286 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1287
1288 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1289
1290 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1291
1292 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1293
1294 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1295
1296 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1297 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1298 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1299
1300 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1301
1302
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001303version 2.52
1304 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1305 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1306 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1307 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1308 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1309 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1310 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1311 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1312
1313 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1314 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1315 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1316 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1317
1318 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1319 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1320 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1321 when dnsmasq is first started.
1322
1323 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1324 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1325 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1326 with certain clients.
1327
1328 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1329 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1330 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1331
1332 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1333 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1334 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1335 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1336 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1337 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1338 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1339 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1340 numbers delimited by dots.
1341
1342 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1343 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1344
1345 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1346 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1347
1348 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1349 contrib/Solaris10.
1350
1351 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1352 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1353 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1354 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1355 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1356 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1357 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1358
1359 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1360 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1361 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1362 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1363
1364 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1365 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1366 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1367
1368 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1369 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1370 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1371
1372 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1373 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1374 looks like this:
1375 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1376
1377 Add some application specific code to assist in
1378 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1379 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1380
1381 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1382 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1383 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1384 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1385
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001386 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001387 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1388
1389 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1390 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1391 this.
1392
1393 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1394 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1395 providing this.
1396
1397 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1398 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1399
1400 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1401
1402 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1403
1404 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1405
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001406 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1407 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1408 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1409 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001410
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001411
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001412version 2.51
1413 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1414 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1415 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1416 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1417 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1418 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1419 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1420 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1421 suggestion.
1422
1423 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1424 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1425 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1426 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1427 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1428 a DHCP relay, if used.
1429 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1430
1431 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1432 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1433
1434 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1435 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1436 dhcp-option-force.
1437
1438 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1439 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1440 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1441
1442 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1443 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1444 the patch.
1445
1446 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1447
1448 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1449 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1450
1451 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1452 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1453 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1454 suggestion.
1455
1456 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1457 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1458 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1459 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1460 dhcp-optsfile.
1461
1462 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1463 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1464 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1465 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1466 suggestion.
1467
1468 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1469 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1470 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1471 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1472 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1473
1474 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1475 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1476 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1477 fragmented packets.
1478
1479 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1480 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1481
1482 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001485version 2.50
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001486 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001487 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1488 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1489 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1490 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1491 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1492 and CVE: 2009-2957
1493
1494 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1495 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1496 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1497 CVE: 2009-2958
1498
1499
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001500version 2.49
1501 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1502 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1503
1504 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1505 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1506 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1507 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1508
1509 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1510
1511
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001512version 2.48
1513 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1514 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1515 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001516
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001517 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1518 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1519 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001520
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001521 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1522 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1523 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001524
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001525 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1526 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1527 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1528 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001529
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001530 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1531 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001532
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001533 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1534 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1535 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1536 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001537
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001538 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1539 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1540 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001541
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001542 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1543 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1544 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001545
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001546 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001547
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001548 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1549 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1550 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1551 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1552 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1553 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1554 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1555 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1556 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001557
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001558 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1559 useful suggestions.
1560
1561 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1562 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1563 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1564
1565 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1566 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001567
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001568 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001569
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001570
1571version 2.47
1572 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1573
1574 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1575 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1576
1577 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1578 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1579 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1580
1581 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1582 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1583 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1584 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1585 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1586 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1587 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1588 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1589 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1590 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1591 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1592 Krafft for the bug report.
1593
1594 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1595
1596 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1597 Fix for this bug:

1599
1600 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1601 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1602 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1603 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1604
1605 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1606 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1607
1608 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1609
1610 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1611 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1612 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1613 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1614 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1615
1616 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1617 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1618
1619 No longer complain about blank lines in
1620 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1621
1622 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1623 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1624 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1625 for the bug report.
1626
1627 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1628 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1629 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1630 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1631
1632 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1633 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1634 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1635 as before.
1636 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1637 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1638 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1639
1640 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1641 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1642 Windows even when using supernetting.
1643 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1644 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1645 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1646 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1647
1648 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1649
1650 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1651 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1652 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1653 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1654 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1655 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1656 dnsmasq.

1660 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1661 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1662 suggestion.
1663
1664 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1665 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1666 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1667 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1668 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1669
1670 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1671 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1672 based in their IP address.
1673
1674 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1675 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1676 a domain associated with each client, and only
1677 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1678 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1679 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1680 long as they are in different domains.
1681
1682 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1683 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1684 have now that it's variable.
1685
1686 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1687 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1688 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1689 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1690 potential.
1691
1692 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1693 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1694 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1695
1696 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1697 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1698
1699 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1700 which the DHCP request was received.
1701
1702 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1703 Laine for the patch.
1704
1705 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1706 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1707
1708 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1709 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1710 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1711 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1712 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1713 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1714 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1715 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1716 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1717 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1718 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1719
1720 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1721 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1722 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1723 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1724 improvement.
1725
1726 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1727 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1728 suggestions on this.
1729
1730 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1731 Fisher.
1732
1733 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1734
1735 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1736 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1737
1738 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1739
1740 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1741 up" event occurs.
1742
1743
1744version 2.45
1745 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1746 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1747 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1748 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1749
1750
1751version 2.44
1752 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1753 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1754 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1755
1756 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1757 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1758 never been reported in the wild.
1759
1760 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1761 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1762
1763 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1764 is large.
1765
1766 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1767 David Gilman.
1768
1769 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.

1773 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1774
1775 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1776 illegally.
1777
1778 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1779
1780 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1781 format.
1782
1783 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1784 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1785 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1786 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1787 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1788
1789 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1790 Rack for the bug report.
1791
1792 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1793 Bergquist.
1794
1795 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1796 option.
1797
1798 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1799 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1800
1801 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1802 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1803
1804 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1805 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1806 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1807 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1808 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1809 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1810 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1811 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1812 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1813 suggestions.
1814
1815 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1816 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1817 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1818
1819 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1820 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1821 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1822 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1823 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1824 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1825 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1826 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1827 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1828 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1829
1830 Replace the random number generator, for better
1831 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1832 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1833 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1834 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1835 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1836 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1837
1838 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1839 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1840 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1841 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1842 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1843
1844 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
