Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +00001version 2.61
2 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
3 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
4 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
5 addresses.
6
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +00007 Add ra-names DHCPv6 keyword which adds AAAA records
8 for dual-stack hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC.
9
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +000010 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
11
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000012 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
13 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
14 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
15 this wrong. Thanks to Conrda Kostecki for help tracking
16 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +000017
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000018 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
19 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
20 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
21
22 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
23
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +000024 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
25 suggestion.
26
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000027
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +000028version 2.60
29 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
30 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +010031
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +000032 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
33 which is not the primary address of an interface.
34
35 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
36
37 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
38 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
39 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
40 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
41 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
42 implementation.
43
44 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
45 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
46 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
47 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
48 set them from the make command line.
49
50 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
51 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
52
53 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
54 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
55
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +000056 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
57 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +000058
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +000059 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
60 containing many distinct addresses.
61
62 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
63 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
64 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
65 this.
66
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +000067 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
68 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
69
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +000070 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
71 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
72 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
73 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
74
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +000075 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
76 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
77 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
78 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +000079 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +000080 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
81
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +000082 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
83 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
84 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
85 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
86 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
87 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
88 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
89 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
90 These will be added as the standards mature.
91 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
92 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
93 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +000094
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +000095 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
96 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
97 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
98 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
99 enabling with --enable-ra.
100
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000101 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
102 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
103 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
104 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000105
106 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000107
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000108 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
109
110
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000111version 2.59
112 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
113 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
114 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
115 report.
116
117 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
118 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
119 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
120 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
121 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
122 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
123 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
124 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
125 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100126
127
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100128version 2.58
129 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
130 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
131
132 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
133 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
134 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
135
136 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
137 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
138 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
139 server-deployment applications need this.
140
141 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
142 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
143 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
144 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
145 in chasing this one down.
146
147 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
148 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
149 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
150 the problem.
151
152 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
153 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
154 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
155 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
156 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
157 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
158
159 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
160 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
161 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
162 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
163 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
164 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
165 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
166 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
167
168 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
169 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
170
171 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
172 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
173 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
174 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
175
176 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
177 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
178
179 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
180 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
181 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
182 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
183 Agrawal for the patch.
184
185 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
186 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
187 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
188 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
189 per-network values. So
190 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
191 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
192 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
193 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
194 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
195 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
196
197 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
198 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
199 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
200 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
201 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
202 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
203 a comprehensive test-case.
204
205 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
206 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
207 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
208
209 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
210 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
211 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
212 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
213 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
214
215 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
216
217 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
218
219
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000220version 2.57
221 Add patches to allow build under Android.
222
223 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
224 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
225 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
226 effectively empty on Android.
227
228 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
229 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
230 wildcard.
231
232 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
233 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
234 spotting this.
235
236 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
237 IDN support continues to be included automatically
238 when i18n is included.
239 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
240
241 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
242 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
243 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
244
245
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000246version 2.56
247 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
248 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
249
250 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
251 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
252 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
253 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
254
255 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
256 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
257
258 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
259 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
260 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
261
262 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
263 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
264 syslogd.
265
266 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
267 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
268 Petrin for the orignal patch.
269
270 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
271 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
272 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
273
274 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
275 option, on the command line.
276
277 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
278 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
279
280 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
281 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
282 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
283 to John Hallam for the patch.
284
285 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
286 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
287 character chunks instead.
288
289 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
290 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
291 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
292 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
293
294 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
295 transfer has completed succesfully.
296
297 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
298 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
299 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
300 which automatically creates
301 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
302 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
303
304 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
305 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
306
307 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
308 thanks for that.
309
310 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
311 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
312 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
313 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
314 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
315 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
316 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
317 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
318 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
319
320 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
321 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
322 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
323 set.
324
325 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
326 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
327
328 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
329 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
330 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
331
332 Edit
333 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
334 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
335 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
336
337 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
338 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
339 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
340 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
341 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
342 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
343 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
344 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
345 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
346 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
347 So:
348 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
349 --server=/google.com/#
350 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
351 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
352 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
353 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
354 William for pointing out the need for this.
355
356 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
357 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
358 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
359
360 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
361 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
362 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
363 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
364
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000365 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
366 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks
367 to Fedor Kozhevnikov for spotting this.

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000371 Fix crash when /etc/ethers is in use. Thanks to
372 Gianluigi Tiesi for finding this.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100373
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000374 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
375 finding this one.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100376
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000377 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)
378 options.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100379
380
381version 2.54
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000382 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
383 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100384
385
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100386version 2.53
387 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
388 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
389
390 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
391 generated by gcc 4.4.
392
393 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
394 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
395
396 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
397 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
398 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
399
400 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
401 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
402 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
403 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
404 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
405 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
406 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
407 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
408 the documentation and new-style config files should be
409 much less confusing.
410
411 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
412 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
413 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
414
415 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
416
417 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
418
419 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
420 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
421 finding this.
422
423 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
424 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
425 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
426 from the client.
427
428 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
429 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
430 finding this.
431
432 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
433 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
434 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
435 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
436 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
437 server-override option.
438
439 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
440 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
441 allows a single line of the form
442 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
443 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
444 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
445 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
446 irrespective of the existance or lack of
447 interface=<interface>
448 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
449 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
450 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
451 configuration.
452
453 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
454
455 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
456 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
457
458 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
459 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
460 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
461 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
462
463 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
464 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
465 file, not the process/descriptor.
466
467 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
468 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
469
470 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
471 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
472 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
473 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
474 this and testing the fix.
475
476 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
477 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
478 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
479
480 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
481 upstream servers: this allows something like
482 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
483 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
484 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
485 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
486
487 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
488 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
489 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
490 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
491 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
492 work on this.
493
494 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
495 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
496 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
497 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
498 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
499 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
500 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
501
502 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
503
504 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
505 than one server available for a domain, eg.
506 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
507 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
508 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
509 here.
510
511 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
512
513 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
514 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
515
516 Fix regression which caused configuration like
517 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
518 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
519 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
520 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
521
522 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
523 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
524
525 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
526 is set.
527
528 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
529 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
530
531 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
532
533 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
534
535 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
536
537 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
538
539 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
540 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
541 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
542
543 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
544
545
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000546version 2.52
547 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
548 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
549 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
550 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
551 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
552 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
553 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
554 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
555
556 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
557 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
558 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
559 necessary for some *WRT distros.
560
561 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
562 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
563 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
564 when dnsmasq is first started.
565
566 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
567 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
568 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
569 with certain clients.
570
571 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
572 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
573 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
574
575 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
576 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
577 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
578 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
579 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
580 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
581 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
582 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
583 numbers delimited by dots.
584
585 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
586 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
587
588 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
589 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
590
591 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
592 contrib/Solaris10.
593
594 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
595 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
596 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
597 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
598 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
599 addresses available in such an installation removes a
600 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
601
602 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
603 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
604 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
605 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
606
607 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
608 the lease-change script in the environment variable
609 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
610
611 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
612 Options". The syntax looks like this:
613 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
614
615 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
616 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
617 looks like this:
618 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
619
620 Add some application specific code to assist in
621 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
622 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
623
624 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
625 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
626 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
627 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
628
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100629 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000630 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
631
632 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
633 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
634 this.
635
636 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
637 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
638 providing this.
639
640 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
641 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
642
643 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
644
645 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
646
647 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
648
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100649 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
650 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
651 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
652 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000653
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100654
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100655version 2.51
656 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
657 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
658 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
659 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
660 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
661 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
662 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
663 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
664 suggestion.
665
666 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
667 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
668 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
669 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
670 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
671 a DHCP relay, if used.
672 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
673
674 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
675 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
676
677 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
678 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
679 dhcp-option-force.
680
681 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
682 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
683 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
684
685 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
686 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
687 the patch.
688
689 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
690
691 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
692 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
693
694 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
695 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
696 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
697 suggestion.
698
699 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
700 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
701 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
702 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
703 dhcp-optsfile.
704
705 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
706 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
707 is retried. This should improve performance when there
708 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
709 suggestion.
710
711 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
712 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
713 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
714 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
715 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
716
717 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
718 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
719 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
720 fragmented packets.
721
722 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
723 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
724
725 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100729 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +0100730 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
731 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
732 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
733 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
734 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
735 and CVE: 2009-2957
736
737 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
738 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
739 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
740 CVE: 2009-2958

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +0100743version 2.49
744 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
745 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
746
747 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
748 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
749 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
750 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
751
752 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100755version 2.48
756 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
757 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
758 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100760 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
761 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
762 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000763
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100764 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
765 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
766 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000767
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100768 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
769 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
770 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
771 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000772
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100773 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
774 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000775
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100776 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
777 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
778 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
779 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000780
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100781 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
782 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
783 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000784
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100785 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
786 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
787 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000788
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100789 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000790
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100791 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
792 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
793 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
794 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
795 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
796 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
797 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
798 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
799 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000800
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100801 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
802 useful suggestions.
803
804 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
805 this, edit src/config.h or build with
806 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
807
808 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
809 configuration files only.

814version 2.47
815 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
816
817 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
818 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
819
820 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
821 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
822 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
823
824 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
825 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
826 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
827 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
828 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
829 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
830 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
831 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
832 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
833 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
834 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
835 Krafft for the bug report.
836
837 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
838
839 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
840 Fix for this bug:
841 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
842
843 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
844 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
845 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
846 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
847
848 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
849 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
850
851 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
852
853 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
854 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
855 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
856 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
857 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
858
859 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
860 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
861
862 No longer complain about blank lines in
863 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
864
865 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
866 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
867 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
868 for the bug report.
869
870 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
871 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
872 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
873 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
874
875 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
876 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
877 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
878 as before.
879 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
880 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
881 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
882
883 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
884 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
885 Windows even when using supernetting.
886 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
887 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
888 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
889 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
890
891 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
892
893 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
894 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
895 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
896 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
897 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
898 directory owned and write-able by the user running
899 dnsmasq.

902version 2.46
903 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
904 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
905 suggestion.
906
907 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
908 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
909 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
910 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
911 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
912
913 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
914 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
915 based in their IP address.
916
917 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
918 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
919 a domain associated with each client, and only
920 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
921 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
922 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
923 long as they are in different domains.
924
925 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
926 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
927 have now that it's variable.
928
929 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
930 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
931 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
932 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
933 potential.
934
935 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
936 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
937 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
938
939 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
940 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
941
942 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
943 which the DHCP request was received.
944
945 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
946 Laine for the patch.
947
948 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
949 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
950
951 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
952 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
953 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
954 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
955 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
956 address to a host which has two network interfaces
957 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
958 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
959 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
960 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
961 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
962
963 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
964 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
965 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
966 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
967 improvement.
968
969 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
970 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
971 suggestions on this.
972
973 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
974 Fisher.
975
976 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
977
978 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
979 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
980
981 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
982
983 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
984 up" event occurs.
985
986
987version 2.45
988 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
989 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
990 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
991 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
992
993
994version 2.44
995 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
996 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
997 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
998
999 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1000 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1001 never been reported in the wild.
1002
1003 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1004 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1005
1006 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1007 is large.
1008
1009 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1010 David Gilman.
1011
1012 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1013
1014
1015version 2.43
1016 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1017
1018 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1019 illegally.
1020
1021 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1022
1023 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1024 format.
1025
1026 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1027 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1028 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1029 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1030 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1031
1032 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1033 Rack for the bug report.
1034
1035 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1036 Bergquist.
1037
1038 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1039 option.
1040
1041 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1042 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1043
1044 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1045 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1046
1047 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1048 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1049 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1050 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1051 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1052 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1053 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1054 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1055 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1056 suggestions.
1057
1058 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1059 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1060 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1061
1062 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1063 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1064 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1065 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1066 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1067 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1068 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1069 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1070 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1071 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1072
1073 Replace the random number generator, for better
1074 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1075 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1076 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1077 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1078 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1079 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1080
1081 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1082 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1083 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1084 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1085 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1086
1087 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
