Simon Kelley903df072017-01-19 17:22:00 +00002 Generate an error when configured with a CNAME loop,
Simon Kelley0740e432017-01-26 18:02:54 +00003 rather than a crash. Thanks to George Metz for
Simon Kelley903df072017-01-19 17:22:00 +00004 spotting this problem.

Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +01006 Calculate the length of TFTP error reply packet
7 correctly. This fixes a problem when the error
8 message in a TFTP packet exceeds the arbitrary
9 limit of 500 characters. The message was correctly
10 truncated, but not the packet length, so
11 extra data was appended. This is a possible
12 security risk, since the extra data comes from
13 a buffer which is also used for DNS, so that
14 previous DNS queries or replies may be leaked.
15 Thanks to Mozilla for funding the security audit
16 which spotted this bug.
17
Ivan Kokshaysky1d076672016-07-11 18:36:05 +010018 Fix logic error in Linux netlink code. This could
19 cause dnsmasq to enter a tight loop on systems
20 with a very large number of network interfaces.
21 Thanks to Ivan Kokshaysky for the diagnosis and
22 patch.
23
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant06093a92016-07-11 21:03:27 +010024 Fix problem with --dnssec-timestamp whereby receipt
25 of SIGHUP would erroneously engage timestamp checking.
26 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for this work.
Simon Kelleyc8328ec2016-08-05 16:54:58 +010027
28 Bump zone serial on reloading /etc/hosts and friends
29 when providing authoritative DNS. Thanks to Harrald
30 Dunkel for spotting this.
Simon Kelley6d950992016-08-11 23:38:54 +010031
32 Handle v4-mapped IPv6 addresses sanely in --synth-domain.
33 These have standard representation like ::ffff:1.2.3.4
34 and are now converted to names like
35 <prefix>--ffff-1-2-3-4.<domain>
36
Beniamino Galvani2675f202016-08-28 20:44:05 +010037 Handle binding upstream servers to an interface
38 (--server=1.2.3.4@eth0) when the named interface
39 is destroyed and recreated in the kernel. Thanks to
40 Beniamino Galvani for the patch.
41
Simon Kelleyb637d782016-12-13 16:44:11 +000042 Allow wildcard CNAME records in authoritative zones.
43 For example --cname=*.example.com,default.example.com
44 Thanks to Pro Backup for sponsoring this development.
45
Simon Kelley09b768e2016-12-22 22:16:58 +000046 Bump the allowed backlog of TCP connections from 5 to 32,
47 and make this a compile-time configurable option. Thanks
48 to Donatas Abraitis for diagnosing this as a potential
49 problem.
50
ZHAO Yuf89cae32016-12-22 22:32:31 +000051 Add DNSMASQ_REQUESTED_OPTIONS environment variable to the
52 lease-change script. Thanks to ZHAO Yu for the patch.
Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +010053
Simon Kelley0740e432017-01-26 18:02:54 +000054 Fix foobar in rrfilter code, that could cause misformed
55 replies, especially when DNSSEC validation on, and
56 the upstream server returns answer with the RRs in a
57 particular order. The only DNS server known to tickle
58 this is Nominum's. Thanks to Dave Täht for spotting the
59 bug and assisting in the fix.
60
Simon Kelleyd42d4702017-02-02 16:52:06 +000061 Fix the manpage which lied that only the primary address
62 of an interface is used by --interface-name.
63
64 Make --localise-queries apply to names from --interface-name.
65 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant and Eric Luehrsen
66 for pushing this.
67
Simon Kelley361dfe52017-02-10 21:12:30 +000068 Improve connection handling when talking to TCP upsteam
69 servers. Specifically, be prepared to open a new TCP
70 connection when we want to make multiple queries
71 but the upstream server accepts fewer queries per connection.
72
ZHAO Yuf89cae32016-12-22 22:32:31 +000073
Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +010074version 2.76
75 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
76 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
77 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
78 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
79 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +010080
81 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
82 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +010083
84 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
85 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
86 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
87 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
88
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +000089 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
90 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
91 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
92 the patch.
93
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +000094 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
95 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
96 for the patch.
97
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +000098 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
99 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
100 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
101 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
102 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
103
104 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
105 not SERVFAIL.
106
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +0000107 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
108 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000109
110 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
111 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000112 removal of entries in the ARP or neighbour tables.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000113
114 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000115 as base64, by configuring --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000116
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000117 Add --add-cpe-id option.
118
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000119 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
120 is declared as a whole /64.
121 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
122 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
123
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +0000124 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
125 --cname.
126
127 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000128
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000129 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
130 initial patch.
131
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +0100132 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
133 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
134 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
135 for spotting this.
136
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +0100137 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
138 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
139 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
140
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +0100141 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
142 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
143
144 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
145 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
146
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100147 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
148 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
149 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +0100150 in src/config.h.
151
152 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
153 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
154 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
155 will need to update your config.
156
157 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
158 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100159
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100160 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
161 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
162 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000163 work with these architectures.
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100164
165 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
166 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
167 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
168 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
169 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
170 single-item boot menu.
171
172 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
173 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
174
Simon Kelleyda2cad42016-05-18 15:14:08 +0100175 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
176 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
177 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
178 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
179 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
180 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
181 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
182 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
183 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
184 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
185 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
186 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
187 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
188 have a config with a basename which already has a
189 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
190 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
191 name.suffix
192
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000193
Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +0100194version 2.75
195 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
196 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
197 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
198
199
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +0100200version 2.74
201 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
202 read the default file, rather than no file.
203
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100204 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
205 not SEGV in some circumstances.
206
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100207 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
208 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
209 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
210
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100211
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100212version 2.73
213 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
214 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
215 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000216
217 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
218 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
219 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
220
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000221 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
222 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000223 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
224 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
225 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000226
227 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
228 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
229 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000230
231 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
232 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
233 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
234 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000235
236 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
237 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000238
239 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
240 queries which include the specified address. No error is
241 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
242 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
243 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
244 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
245 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000246
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000247 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
248 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
249 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
250 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
251 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
252 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
253 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
254 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100255
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000256 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
257 to search automatically.
258
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000259 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
260 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
261 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
262 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
263 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000264 floor of one hour. Thanks to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000265
266 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
267 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
268 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000269
270 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
271 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
272 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
273 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000274
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000275 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
276 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
277 for the patch.
278
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000279 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000280
281 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100282 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
283 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
284 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
285 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100286
287 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
288 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100289
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100290 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
291 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
292 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
293 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
294 sterling work chasing this down.
295
296 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
297 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100298 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
299 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
300 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100301
302 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
303 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
304 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
305 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
306 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
307 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
308 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
309 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100310
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100311 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
312 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
313 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
314 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
315 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
316 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100317 pointing out the problem.
318
319 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
320 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
321 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100322
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100323 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
324 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
325 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
326 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
327 change permanent.
328
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100329 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
330 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
331
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100332 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
333 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
334
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100335 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
336 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
337 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
338 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100339
340 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
341 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100342
343 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the

Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100355
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100356 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an

Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000366 When assigning existing DHCP leases to interfaces by comparing
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100367 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
368 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
369 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
370 patch.
371
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100372 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
373 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
374 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
375 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
376 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
377 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
378
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100379 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So

Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100383 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
384 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100385
386 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
387 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
388 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.

395 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
396 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
397 non-existent DS records.
398
399 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
400 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
401 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
402 report.

432 for spotting the problem.
433
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000434 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
435 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
436 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
437 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
438 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
439
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000440 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
441 compiled with this enabled, with
442
443 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
444
445 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
446 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
447 statically with
448
449 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
450
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100451 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
452 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
453
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000454 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
455 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
456 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
457 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
458 distribution. You should of course check that these are
459 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
460
461 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
462 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000463
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000464 to your config is all thats needed to get things
465 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
466 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
467 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
468 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
469 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
470 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
471 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
472 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
473 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
474 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
475 records, which significantly improve the performance of
476 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
477 DNSSEC in action.
478
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100479 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
480 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
481 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
482 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
483 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
484 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
485 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
486 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
487 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
488 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
489 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
490 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
491 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
492 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
493 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
494 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
495
496 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
497 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
498 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
499 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
500 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
501 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
502 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
503 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
504 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
505 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
506 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
507 henceforward will be complete.
508
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000509 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
510 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
511 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
512 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
513 a workable state.
514
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000515 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.

Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000520 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
521 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
522 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000523 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000524 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
525 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
526 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
527 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
528
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000529 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs

531 find this and helping to chase it down.
532
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100533 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The

535 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
536
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100537 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as

542 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
543 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
544 addresses.
545
546 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
547 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
548 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
549 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
550 restarted, this bug disappeared.
551
552 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
553 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
554
555 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
556
557 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
558 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
559 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
560 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000561 work-around which exempted constructed DHCP ranges from the
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000562 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
563 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
564 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000565 constructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000566 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
567 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
568 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
569 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000570
571 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
572 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
573 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
574 for the bug report.

Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000581
582 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
583 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
584 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
585 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
586 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000587
588 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
589 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
590 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the

599 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
600 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
601 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
602 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
603 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
604 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
605 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
606 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100617
618 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
619 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
620 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
621 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
622 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
623 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
624 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
625 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100646 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
647 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
648 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so

671 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
672 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
673 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
674 things work better if a prefix disappears without being

Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100726 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
727 inspiration on this.
728
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100729 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100730 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
731 for sponsoring this feature.

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100733 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
734 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
735
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100736 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
737 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
738 suggestion.
739
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100740 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000741 as eligible for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100742 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
743 spotting the problem.
744
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100745 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000749version 2.66
750 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
751 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
752 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
753 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
754 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
755 servers to be configured.
756
757 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
758 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
759 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
760 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
761 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
762 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
763 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
764 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000765
766 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000767 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
768 patch.
769
770 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
771 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
772 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
773 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
774 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
775 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
776 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000777
778 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
779 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
780 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000781
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000782 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBSCRIBER_ID,
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000783 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000784 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000785 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
786 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
787 bounty for this addition.
788
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000789 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
790 information-requests with some common configurations.
791 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
792 chasing the problem.
793
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000794 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
795 patch.
796
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000797 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000798 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000799
800 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
801 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000802
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100803 Handle the situation where libc headers define
804 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
805 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
806 Felker for the bug report.
807
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100808 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100809
810 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
811 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
812 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100813
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100814 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
815
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000816
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000817version 2.65
818 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
819 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
820 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
821
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000822 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
823 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.

Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000825 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke caching.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000826
827
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100828version 2.64
829 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
830 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
831 spotting the problem.
832
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100833 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
834 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
835 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000836 generate a warning. Now that only happens if there is not
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100837 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
838 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
839
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100840 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
841 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
842
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100843 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
844 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
845
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000846 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in startup logging. Thanks to
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100847 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
848
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000849 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100850 Williams for the patch.
851
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000852 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
853 Roy Marples for the patch.
854
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000855 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thanks to Cristian
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100856 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100857
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100858 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
859 for the patch.
860
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100861 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000862 infinite loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100863 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
864
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100865 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
866 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
867 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
868 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
869
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100870 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
871 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
872 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
873
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100874 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
875 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
876 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
877
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000878 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
879 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
880 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000881
882 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
883 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000884
885 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
886 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
887 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000888
889 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
890 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
891 without setting source address and interface, since this
892 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
893 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
894
895 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
896 dhcp-range on a subnet.

901
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100902 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
903 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
904
905 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
906 stuff is pointless without that.
907
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100908 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
909 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
910 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100911
912 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
913 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100914
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100915 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
916 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
917 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
918 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
919 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
920 superceded by other mechanisms.
921
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100922 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
923 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
924
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100925 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
926 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100930 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
931 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
932 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
933 the suggestion.
934
935 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
936 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000937 spotted the omission.

Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100953 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
954 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
955
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100956 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
957 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
958 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
959
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100960 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
961 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
962 for spotting this.
963
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100964 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
965 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
966 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
967
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100968 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
969
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100970 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
971 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
972 his help nailing this.
973
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000974version 2.61
975 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
976 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
977 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
978 addresses.
979
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100980 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
981 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
982 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
983 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
984 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
985 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000986
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000987 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
988
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000989 Explicitly send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000990 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
991 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100992 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000993 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000994
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000995 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
996 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
997 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
998
999 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
1000
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +00001001 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
1002 suggestion.
1003
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001004 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
1005 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
1006 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001007 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilities
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001008 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
1009 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
1010 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
1011 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
1012 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
1013 Gadgil.
1014
1015 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
1016 the above.
1017
1018 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
1019 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +00001020 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
1021 Forkel.
1022
1023 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
1024 work even if there is no interface carrying the
1025 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
1026 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
1027 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
1028 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
1029 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001030
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +00001031 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is

1033 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
1034
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001035 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
1036 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001037 preferred lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001038 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
1039 for existing connections, but new connections will use
1040 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
1041 renumbering at least possible.
1042
1043 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001044 acquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +01001053 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001054 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-existent
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +01001055 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.

Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +01001059 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
1060 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
1061 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +01001062 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

Simon Kelleyfc92ead2012-04-22 21:28:24 +01001069 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +01001070 patch.
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +01001071
1072 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
1073 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001074 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina

1082 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
1083 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001084
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001085 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
1086 which is not the primary address of an interface.
1087
1088 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
1089
1090 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1091 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1092 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1093 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1094 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1095 implementation.
1096
1097 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1098 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1099 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1100 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1101 set them from the make command line.
1102
1103 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1104 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
1105
1106 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1107 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
1108
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +00001109 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
1110 release tags or hash values.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001112 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1113 containing many distinct addresses.
1114
1115 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1116 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1117 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1118 this.
1119
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001120 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1121 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
1122
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001123 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1124 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1125 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1126 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1127
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001128 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1129 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1130 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1131 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001132 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001133 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1134
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001135 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1136 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1137 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1138 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1139 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1140 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1141 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1142 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1143 These will be added as the standards mature.
1144 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1145 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1146 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001147
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001148 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1149 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1150 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1151 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1152 enabling with --enable-ra.
1153
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001154 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1155 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1156 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1157 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +00001158

1162
1163
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001164version 2.59
1165 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1166 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1167 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1168 report.
1169
1170 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1171 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1172 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1173 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1174 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1175 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1176 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1177 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1178 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001179
1180
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001181version 2.58
1182 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1183 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1184
1185 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1186 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1187 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1188
1189 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1190 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1191 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1192 server-deployment applications need this.
1193
1194 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1195 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1196 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1197 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1198 in chasing this one down.
1199
1200 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1201 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1202 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1203 the problem.
1204
1205 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1206 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1207 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1208 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1209 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1210 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1211
1212 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1213 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1214 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1215 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1216 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1217 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1218 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1219 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1220
1221 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1222 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1223
1224 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1225 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1226 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1227 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1228
1229 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1230 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1231
1232 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1233 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1234 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1235 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1236 Agrawal for the patch.
1237
1238 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1239 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1240 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1241 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1242 per-network values. So
1243 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1244 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1245 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1246 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1247 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1248 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1249
1250 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1251 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1252 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1253 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1254 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1255 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1256 a comprehensive test-case.
1257
1258 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1259 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001260 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001261
1262 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1263 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1264 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1265 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1266 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

1272
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001273version 2.57
1274 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1275
1276 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1277 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1278 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1279 effectively empty on Android.
1280
1281 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1282 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1283 wildcard.
1284
1285 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1286 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1287 spotting this.
1288
1289 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1290 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1291 when i18n is included.
1292 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1293
1294 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1295 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1296 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1297
1298
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001299version 2.56
1300 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1301 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1302
1303 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1304 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1305 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1306 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1307
1308 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1309 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1310
1311 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1312 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1313 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1314
1315 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1316 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1317 syslogd.
1318
1319 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1320 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1321 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1322
1323 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1324 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1325 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1326
1327 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1328 option, on the command line.
1329
1330 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1331 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1332
1333 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001334 b) --keep-in-foreground is set. The logging facility on the
1335 other end of stderr can be assumed to supply them. Thanks
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001336 to John Hallam for the patch.
1337
1338 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1339 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1340 character chunks instead.
1341
1342 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1343 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1344 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1345 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1346
1347 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001348 transfer has completed successfully.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001349
1350 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1351 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1352 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1353 which automatically creates
1354 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1355 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1356
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001357 Tighten up syntax checking of hex constants in the config
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001358 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1359
1360 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1361 thanks for that.
1362
1363 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1364 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1365 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1366 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1367 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1368 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1369 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1370 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1371 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1372
1373 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1374 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1375 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1376 set.
1377
1378 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1379 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1380
1381 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1382 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1383 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1384
1385 Edit
1386 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1387 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1388 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1389
1390 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1391 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1392 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1393 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1394 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001395 override this behaviour by defining the semantics if the
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001396 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1397 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1398 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001399 of the address family which doesn't appear in --address
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001400 So:
1401 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1402 --server=/google.com/#
1403 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1404 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1405 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1406 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1407 William for pointing out the need for this.
1408
1409 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1410 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1411 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1412
1413 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1414 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1415 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1416 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1417
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001418 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001427 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
1428 finding this one.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001429
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001430 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001439version 2.53
1440 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1441 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1442
1443 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1444 generated by gcc 4.4.
1445
1446 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1447 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1448
1449 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1450 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1451 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1452
1453 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1454 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1455 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1456 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1457 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1458 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1459 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1460 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1461 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1462 much less confusing.
1463
1464 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1465 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1466 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1467
1468 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1469
1470 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1471
1472 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1473 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1474 finding this.
1475
1476 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1477 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1478 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1479 from the client.
1480
1481 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1482 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1483 finding this.
1484
1485 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1486 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1487 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1488 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1489 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1490 server-override option.
1491
1492 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1493 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1494 allows a single line of the form
1495 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1496 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1497 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1498 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001499 irrespective of the existence or lack of
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001500 interface=<interface>
1501 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1502 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1503 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1504 configuration.
1505
1506 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1507
1508 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1509 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1510
1511 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1512 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1513 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1514 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1515
1516 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1517 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1518 file, not the process/descriptor.
1519
1520 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1521 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1522
1523 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1524 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1525 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1526 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1527 this and testing the fix.
1528
1529 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1530 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1531 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1532
1533 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1534 upstream servers: this allows something like
1535 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1536 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1537 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1538 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1539
1540 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1541 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1542 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1543 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1544 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1545 work on this.
1546
1547 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1548 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1549 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1550 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1551 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1552 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1553 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1554
1555 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1556
1557 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1558 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1559 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1560 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1561 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1562 here.
1563
1564 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1565
1566 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1567 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1568
1569 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1570 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1571 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1572 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1573 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1574
1575 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1576 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1577
1578 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1579 is set.
1580
1581 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1582 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1583
1584 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1585
1586 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1587
1588 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1589
1590 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1591
1592 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1593 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1594 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1595
1596 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1597
1598
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001599version 2.52
1600 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1601 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1602 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1603 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1604 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1605 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1606 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1607 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1608
1609 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1610 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1611 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1612 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1613
1614 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1615 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1616 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1617 when dnsmasq is first started.
1618
1619 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1620 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1621 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1622 with certain clients.
1623
1624 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1625 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1626 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1627
1628 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1629 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1630 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1631 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1632 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1633 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1634 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1635 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1636 numbers delimited by dots.
1637
1638 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1639 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1640
1641 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1642 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1643
1644 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1645 contrib/Solaris10.
1646
1647 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1648 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1649 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1650 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1651 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1652 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1653 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1654
1655 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1656 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1657 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1658 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1659
1660 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1661 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1662 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1663
1664 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1665 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1666 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1667
1668 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1669 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1670 looks like this:
1671 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1672
1673 Add some application specific code to assist in
1674 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1675 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1676
1677 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1678 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1679 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1680 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1681
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001682 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001683 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1684
1685 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1686 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1687 this.
1688
1689 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1690 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1691 providing this.
1692
1693 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1694 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1695
1696 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1697
1698 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1699
1700 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1701
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001702 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1703 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1704 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1705 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001706
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001707
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001708version 2.51
1709 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1710 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1711 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1712 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1713 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1714 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1715 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1716 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1717 suggestion.
1718
1719 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1720 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1721 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1722 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1723 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1724 a DHCP relay, if used.
1725 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1726
1727 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1728 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1729
1730 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1731 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1732 dhcp-option-force.
1733
1734 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1735 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1736 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1737
1738 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1739 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1740 the patch.
1741
1742 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1743
1744 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1745 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1746
1747 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1748 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1749 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1750 suggestion.
1751
1752 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1753 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1754 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1755 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1756 dhcp-optsfile.
1757
1758 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1759 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1760 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1761 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1762 suggestion.
1763
1764 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1765 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1766 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1767 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1768 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1769
1770 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1771 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1772 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1773 fragmented packets.
1774
1775 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1776 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1777
1778 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001782 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001783 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1784 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1785 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1786 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1787 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1788 and CVE: 2009-2957
1789
1790 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1791 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1792 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1793 CVE: 2009-2958

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001796version 2.49
1797 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1798 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1799
1800 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1801 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1802 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1803 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1804
1805 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001808version 2.48
1809 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1810 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1811 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001812
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001813 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1814 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1815 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001816
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001817 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1818 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1819 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001820
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001821 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1822 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1823 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1824 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001825
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001826 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1827 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001828
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001829 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1830 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1831 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1832 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001833
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001834 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1835 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1836 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001837
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001838 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1839 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1840 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001841
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001842 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001843
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001844 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1845 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1846 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1847 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1848 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1849 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1850 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1851 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1852 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001853
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001854 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1855 useful suggestions.
1856
1857 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1858 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1859 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1860
1861 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1862 configuration files only.

1867version 2.47
1868 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1869
1870 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1871 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1872
1873 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1874 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001875 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overridden in CFLAGS.

1877 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1878 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1879 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1880 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1881 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1882 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1883 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1884 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1885 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1886 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1887 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1888 Krafft for the bug report.
1889
1890 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1891
1892 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1893 Fix for this bug:
1894 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1895
1896 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1897 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1898 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1899 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1900
1901 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1902 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1903
1904 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1905
1906 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1907 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1908 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1909 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1910 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1911
1912 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1913 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1914
1915 No longer complain about blank lines in
1916 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1917
1918 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1919 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1920 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1921 for the bug report.
1922
1923 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1924 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1925 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1926 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1927
1928 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1929 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1930 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1931 as before.
1932 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1933 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1934 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1935
1936 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1937 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1938 Windows even when using supernetting.
1939 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1940 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1941 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1942 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1943
1944 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1945
1946 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1947 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1948 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1949 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1950 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1951 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1952 dnsmasq.

1955version 2.46
1956 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1957 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1958 suggestion.
1959
1960 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1961 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1962 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1963 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1964 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1965
1966 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1967 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1968 based in their IP address.
1969
1970 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1971 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1972 a domain associated with each client, and only
1973 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1974 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1975 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1976 long as they are in different domains.
1977
1978 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1979 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1980 have now that it's variable.
1981
1982 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1983 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1984 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1985 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1986 potential.
1987
1988 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1989 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1990 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1991
1992 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1993 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1994
1995 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1996 which the DHCP request was received.
1997
1998 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1999 Laine for the patch.
2000
2001 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
2002 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
2003
2004 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
2005 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
2006 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
2007 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
2008 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
2009 address to a host which has two network interfaces
2010 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
2011 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
2012 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
2013 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
2014 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
2015
2016 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
2017 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
2018 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
2019 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
2020 improvement.
2021
2022 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
2023 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
2024 suggestions on this.
2025
2026 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
2027 Fisher.
2028
2029 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2030
2031 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
2032 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
2033
2034 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
2035
2036 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
2037 up" event occurs.
2038
2039
2040version 2.45
2041 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
2042 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
2043 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
2044 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
2045
2046
2047version 2.44
2048 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
2049 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
2050 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
2051
2052 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
2053 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
2054 never been reported in the wild.
2055
2056 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
2057 Jean Wolter for finding this.
2058
2059 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
2060 is large.
2061
2062 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
2063 David Gilman.
2064
2065 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
2066
2067
2068version 2.43
2069 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2070
2071 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
2072 illegally.
2073
2074 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
2075
2076 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
2077 format.
2078
2079 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2080 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2081 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2082 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2083 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
2084
2085 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
2086 Rack for the bug report.
2087
2088 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
2089 Bergquist.
2090
2091 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
2092 option.
2093
2094 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2095 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
2096
2097 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2098 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
2099
2100 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2101 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2102 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2103 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2104 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2105 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2106 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2107 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2108 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2109 suggestions.
2110
2111 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2112 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2113 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2114
2115 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2116 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2117 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2118 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2119 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2120 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2121 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2122 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2123 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2124 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2125
2126 Replace the random number generator, for better
2127 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2128 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2129 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2130 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2131 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2132 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2133
2134 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2135 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2136 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2137 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2138 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2139
2140 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
