Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +00001version 2.68
2 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
3 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
4 addresses.
5
6 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
7 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
8 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
9 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
10 restarted, this bug disappeared.
11
12 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
13 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
14
15 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
16
17 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
18 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
19 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
20 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
21 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
22 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
23 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
24 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
25 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
26 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
27 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
28 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
29 IPv6 addresses of eth0.

Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010032version 2.67
33 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
34 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
35 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +010036
37 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
38 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
39 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
40 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
41 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
42 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
43 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
44 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +010045
46 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
47 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
48 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +010049
50 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
51 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +010052
53 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
54 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +010055
56 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
57 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
58 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
59 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
60 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
61 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
62 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
63 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010064
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +010065 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
66 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
67 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
68 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
69 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010070
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +010071 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
72 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
73
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +010074 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
75 spurious error when all seven possible items were
76 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +010077
78 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
79 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
80
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +010081 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
82 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
83
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +010084 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
85 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
86 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
87 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
88 report.
89
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +010090 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
91 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
92 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
93
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +010094 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero
Simon Kelley3953dcc2013-07-03 20:40:45 +010095 terminator. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the bug report.
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +010096
Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +010097 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
98 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
99
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100100 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
101 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
102 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
103 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
104
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100105 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
106 via DBus too.
107
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100108 When the address which triggered the construction of an
109 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
110 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
111 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
112 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
113 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
114 arguing for this.
115
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100116 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
117 for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100118
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100119 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
120 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
121 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
122 for suggesting this.
123
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100124 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
125 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
126
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100127 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
128 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
129 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
130 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
131 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
132
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100133 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
134 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100135
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100136 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
137 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
138
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100139 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
140 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
141 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
142
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100143 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
144 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
145
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100146 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
147 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
148 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
149 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
150 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100151
152 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
153 address must be either the first or last address in the
154 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
155 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100156
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100157 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
158
Tanguy Bouzelocef1d7422013-10-03 11:06:31 +0100159 Fix problem in DHCPv6 vendorclass/userclass matching
160 code. Thanks to Tanguy Bouzeloc for the patch.
161
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100162 Update Spanish transalation. Thanks to Vicente Soriano.
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100163
Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100164 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
165 inspiration on this.
166
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100167 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100168 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
169 for sponsoring this feature.
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100170
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100171 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
172 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
173
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100174 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
175 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
176 suggestion.
177
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100178 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
179 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
180 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
181 spotting the problem.
182
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100183 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
184 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.
185
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100186
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000187version 2.66
188 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
189 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
190 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
191 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
192 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
193 servers to be configured.
194
195 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
196 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
197 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
198 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
199 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
200 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
201 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
202 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000203
204 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000205 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
206 patch.
207
208 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
209 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
210 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
211 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
212 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
213 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
214 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000215
216 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
217 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
218 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000219
220 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
221 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000222 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000223 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
224 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
225 bounty for this addition.
226
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000227 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
228 information-requests with some common configurations.
229 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
230 chasing the problem.
231
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000232 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
233 patch.
234
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000235 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000236 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000237
238 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
239 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000240
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100241 Handle the situation where libc headers define
242 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
243 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
244 Felker for the bug report.
245
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100246 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100247
248 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
249 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
250 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100251
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100252 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
253
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000254
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000255version 2.65
256 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
257 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
258 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
259
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000260 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
261 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000262
263 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000264
265
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100266version 2.64
267 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
268 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
269 spotting the problem.
270
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100271 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
272 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
273 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
274 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
275 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
276 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
277
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100278 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
279 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
280
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100281 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
282 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
283
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100284 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
285 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
286
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000287 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100288 Williams for the patch.
289
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000290 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
291 Roy Marples for the patch.
292
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100293 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
294 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100295
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100296 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
297 for the patch.
298
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100299 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
300 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
301 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
302
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100303 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
304 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
305 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
306 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
307
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100308 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
309 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
310 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
311
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100312 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
313 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
314 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
315
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000316 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
317 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
318 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000319
320 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
321 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000322
323 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
324 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
325 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000326
327 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
328 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
329 without setting source address and interface, since this
330 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
331 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
332
333 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
334 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100335
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000336
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100337version 2.63
338 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
339
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100340 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
341 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
342
343 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
344 stuff is pointless without that.
345
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100346 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
347 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
348 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100349
350 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
351 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100352
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100353 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
354 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
355 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated

419 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
420 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
421 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
422 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
423 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

435 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
436
437 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
438

Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000442 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
443 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
444 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
445 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
446 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
447 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
448 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
449 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
450 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
451 Gadgil.
452
453 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
454 the above.
455
456 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
457 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can

459 Forkel.
460
461 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
462 work even if there is no interface carrying the
463 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
464 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
465 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
466 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
467 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000469 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
470 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
471 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
472
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100473 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
474 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
475 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
476 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
477 for existing connections, but new connections will use
478 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
479 renumbering at least possible.
480
481 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000523 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
524 which is not the primary address of an interface.
525
526 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
527
528 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
529 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
530 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
531 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
532 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
533 implementation.
534
535 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
536 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
537 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
538 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
539 set them from the make command line.
540
541 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
542 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
543

545 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

551 containing many distinct addresses.
552
553 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
554 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
555 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
556 this.
557
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000558 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
559 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
560
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000561 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
562 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
563 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
564 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
565
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000566 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
567 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
568 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
569 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000570 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000571 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
572
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000573 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
574 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
575 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
576 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
577 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
578 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
579 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
580 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
581 These will be added as the standards mature.
582 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
583 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
584 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000585
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000586 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
587 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
588 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
589 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
590 enabling with --enable-ra.
591
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000592 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
593 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
594 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
595 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

601
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000602version 2.59
603 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
604 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
605 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
606 report.
607
608 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
609 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
610 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
611 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
612 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
613 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
614 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
615 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
616 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100617
618
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100619version 2.58
620 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
621 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
622
623 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
624 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
625 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
626
627 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
628 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
629 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
630 server-deployment applications need this.
631
632 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
633 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
634 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
635 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
636 in chasing this one down.
637
638 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
639 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
640 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
641 the problem.
642
643 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
644 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
645 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
646 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
647 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
648 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
649
650 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
651 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
652 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
653 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
654 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
655 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
656 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
657 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
658
659 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
660 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
661
662 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
663 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
664 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
665 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
666
667 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
668 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
669
670 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
671 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
672 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
673 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
674 Agrawal for the patch.
675
676 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
677 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
678 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
679 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
680 per-network values. So
681 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
682 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
683 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
684 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
685 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
686 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
687
688 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
689 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
690 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
691 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
692 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
693 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
694 a comprehensive test-case.
695
696 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
697 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr

Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100699
700 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
701 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
702 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
703 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to

712 Add patches to allow build under Android.
713
714 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
715 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
716 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
717 effectively empty on Android.
718
719 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
720 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
721 wildcard.
722
723 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
724 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
725 spotting this.
726
727 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
728 IDN support continues to be included automatically
729 when i18n is included.
730 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
731

740
741 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
742 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
743 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
744 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
745
746 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
747 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.

749 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
750 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
751 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
752
753 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
754 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
755 syslogd.
756
757 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
758 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
759 Petrin for the orignal patch.
760
761 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
762 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
763 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
764
765 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
766 option, on the command line.
767
768 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
769 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
770
771 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
772 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
773 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
774 to John Hallam for the patch.
775
776 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
777 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
778 character chunks instead.
779
780 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
781 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
782 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
783 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
784
785 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
786 transfer has completed succesfully.
787
788 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
789 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
790 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
791 which automatically creates
792 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
793 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
794
795 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
796 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
797
798 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
799 thanks for that.
800
801 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
802 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
803 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
804 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
805 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
806 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
807 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
808 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
809 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
810
811 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
812 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
813 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
814 set.
815
816 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
817 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
818
819 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
820 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
821 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
822
823 Edit
824 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
825 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
826 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
827
828 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
829 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
830 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
831 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
832 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
833 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
834 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
835 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
836 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
837 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
838 So:
839 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
840 --server=/google.com/#
841 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
842 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
843 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
844 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
845 William for pointing out the need for this.
846
847 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
848 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
849 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
850
851 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
852 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
853 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
854 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

878 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
879 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
880
881 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
882 generated by gcc 4.4.
883
884 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
885 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
886
887 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
888 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
889 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
890
891 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
892 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
893 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
894 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
895 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
896 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
897 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
898 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
899 the documentation and new-style config files should be
900 much less confusing.
901
902 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
903 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
904 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
905
906 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
907
908 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
909
910 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
911 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
912 finding this.
913
914 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
915 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
916 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
917 from the client.
918
919 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
920 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
921 finding this.
922
923 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
924 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
925 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
926 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
927 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
928 server-override option.
929
930 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
931 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
932 allows a single line of the form
933 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
934 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
935 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
936 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
937 irrespective of the existance or lack of
938 interface=<interface>
939 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
940 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
941 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
942 configuration.
943
944 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
945
946 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
947 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
948
949 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
950 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
951 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
952 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
953
954 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
955 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
956 file, not the process/descriptor.
957
958 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
959 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
960
961 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
962 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
963 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
964 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
965 this and testing the fix.
966
967 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
968 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
969 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
970
971 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
972 upstream servers: this allows something like
973 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
974 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
975 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
976 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
977
978 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
979 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
980 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
981 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
982 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
983 work on this.
984
985 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
986 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
987 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
988 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
989 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
990 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
991 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
992
993 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
994
995 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
996 than one server available for a domain, eg.
997 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
998 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
999 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1000 here.
1001
1002 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1003
1004 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1005 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1006
1007 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1008 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1009 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1010 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1011 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1012
1013 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1014 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1015
1016 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1017 is set.
1018
1019 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1020 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1021

1031 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1032 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1033
1034 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1036
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001037version 2.52
1038 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1039 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1040 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1041 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1042 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1043 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1044 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1045 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1046
1047 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1048 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1049 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1050 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1051
1052 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1053 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1054 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1055 when dnsmasq is first started.
1056
1057 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1058 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1059 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1060 with certain clients.
1061
1062 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1063 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1064 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1065
1066 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1067 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1068 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1069 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1070 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1071 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1072 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1073 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1074 numbers delimited by dots.
1075
1076 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1077 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1078
1079 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1080 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1081
1082 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1083 contrib/Solaris10.
1084
1085 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1086 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1087 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1088 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1089 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1090 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1091 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1092
1093 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1094 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1095 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1096 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1097
1098 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1099 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1100 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1101
1102 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1103 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1104 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1105
1106 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1107 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1108 looks like this:
1109 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1110
1111 Add some application specific code to assist in
1112 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1113 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1114
1115 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1116 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1117 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1118 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1119
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001120 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001121 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1122
1123 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1124 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1125 this.
1126
1127 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1128 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1129 providing this.
1130
1131 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001146version 2.51
1147 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1148 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1149 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1150 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1151 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1152 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1153 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1154 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1155 suggestion.
1156
1157 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1158 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1159 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1160 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1161 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1162 a DHCP relay, if used.
1163 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1164
1165 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1166 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1167
1168 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1169 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1170 dhcp-option-force.
1171
1172 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1173 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1174 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1175
1176 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1177 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1178 the patch.
1179
1180 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1181
1182 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1183 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1184
1185 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1186 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1187 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1188 suggestion.
1189
1190 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1191 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1192 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1193 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1194 dhcp-optsfile.
1195
1196 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1197 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1198 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1199 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1200 suggestion.
1201
1202 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1203 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1204 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1205 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1206 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1207
1208 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1209 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1210 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1211 fragmented packets.
1212
1213 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1214 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1215

1235 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1236 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1237
1238 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1239 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1240 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1241 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001246version 2.48
1247 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1248 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1249 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001250
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001251 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1252 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1253 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001254
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001255 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1256 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1257 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001258
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001259 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1260 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1261 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1262 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001263
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001264 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1265 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001266
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001267 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1268 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1269 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1270 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001271
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001272 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1273 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1274 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001275
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001276 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1277 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1278 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001279
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001280 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001281
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001282 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1283 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1284 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1285 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1286 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1287 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1288 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1289 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1290 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001291
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001292 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1293 useful suggestions.
1294
1295 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1296 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1297 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1298
1299 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1300 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001301
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001302 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001303
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001304
1305version 2.47
1306 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1307
1308 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1309 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1310
1311 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1312 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1313 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1314
1315 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1316 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1317 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1318 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1319 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1320 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1321 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1322 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1323 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1324 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1325 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1326 Krafft for the bug report.
1327
1328 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1329
1330 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1331 Fix for this bug:
1332 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1333
1334 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1335 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1336 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1337 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1338
1339 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1340 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1341
1342 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1343
1344 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1345 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1346 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1347 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1348 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1349
1350 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1351 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1352
1353 No longer complain about blank lines in
1354 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1355
1356 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1357 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1358 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1359 for the bug report.
1360
1361 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1362 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1363 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1364 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1365
1366 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1367 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1368 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1369 as before.
1370 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1371 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1372 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1373
1374 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1375 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1376 Windows even when using supernetting.
1377 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1378 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1379 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1380 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1381
1382 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1383
1384 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1385 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1386 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1387 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1388 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1389 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1390 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001391
1392
1393version 2.46
1394 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1395 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1396 suggestion.
1397
1398 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1399 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1400 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1401 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1402 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1403
1404 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1405 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1406 based in their IP address.
1407
1408 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1409 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1410 a domain associated with each client, and only
1411 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1412 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1413 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1414 long as they are in different domains.
1415
1416 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1417 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1418 have now that it's variable.
1419
1420 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1421 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1422 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1423 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1424 potential.
1425
1426 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1427 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1428 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1429
1430 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1431 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1432
1433 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1434 which the DHCP request was received.
1435
1436 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1437 Laine for the patch.
1438
1439 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1440 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1441
1442 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1443 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1444 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1445 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1446 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1447 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1448 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1449 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1450 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1451 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1452 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1453
1454 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1455 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1456 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1457 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1458 improvement.
1459
1460 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1461 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1462 suggestions on this.
1463
1464 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1465 Fisher.
1466
1467 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1468
1469 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1470 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1471
1472 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1473
1474 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1475 up" event occurs.
1476
1477
1478version 2.45
1479 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1480 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1481 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1482 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1483
1484
1485version 2.44
1486 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1487 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1488 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1489
1490 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1491 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1492 never been reported in the wild.
1493
1494 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1495 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1496
1497 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1498 is large.
1499
1500 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1501 David Gilman.
1502
1503 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1504
1505
1506version 2.43
1507 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1508
1509 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1510 illegally.
1511
1512 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1513
1514 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1515 format.
1516
1517 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1518 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1519 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1520 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1521 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1522
1523 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1524 Rack for the bug report.
1525
1526 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1527 Bergquist.
1528
1529 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1530 option.
1531
1532 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1533 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1534
1535 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1536 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1537
1538 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1539 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1540 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1541 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1542 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1543 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1544 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1545 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1546 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1547 suggestions.
1548
1549 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1550 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1551 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1552
1553 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1554 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1555 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1556 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1557 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1558 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1559 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1560 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1561 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1562 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1563
1564 Replace the random number generator, for better
1565 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1566 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1567 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1568 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1569 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1570 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1571
1572 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1573 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1574 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1575 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1576 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1577
1578 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
