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

Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +000010 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
11 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +000012 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
13 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
14 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +000015
16 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
17 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
18 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +000019
20 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
21 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
22 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
23 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +000024
25 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
26 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +000027
28 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
29 queries which include the specified address. No error is
30 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
31 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
32 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
33 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
34 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +000035
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +000036 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
37 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
38 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
39 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
40 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
41 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
42 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
43 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +010044
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +000045 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
46 to search automatically.
47
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +000048 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
49 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
50 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
51 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
52 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
53 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +000054
55 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
56 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
57 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +000058
59 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
60 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
61 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
62 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +000063
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +000064 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
65 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
66 for the patch.
67
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +000068 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +000069
70 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +010071 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
72 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
73 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
74 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +010075
76 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
77 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +010078
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +010079 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
80 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
81 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
82 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
83 sterling work chasing this down.
84
85 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
86 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
87
88 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
89 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
90 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
91 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
92 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
93 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
94 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
95 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +010096

Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +010099 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
100
101 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
102 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100103
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100104 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
105 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
106 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100107
108 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
109 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100110
111 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
112 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100113
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100114 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
115 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
116 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
117 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
118 patch.
119
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100120 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
121 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
122 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
123 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
124 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
125 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
126
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100127 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
128 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
129 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +0100130
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100131 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
132 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100133
134 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
135 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
136 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100137
138 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
139 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.
140
Simon Kelleyad4a8ff2015-04-09 21:48:00 +0100141
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100142version 2.71
143 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
144 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
145 non-existent DS records.
146
147 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
148 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
149 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
150 report.
151
152 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
153 for spotting that too.
154
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100155 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
156 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
157 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
158
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100159
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100160version 2.70
161 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
162 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
163 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
164
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100165 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
166 Wang Jian for the bug report.
167
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100168
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000169version 2.69
170 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
171 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
172 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
173 valuable research on how to implement this.
174
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000175 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000176 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000177
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000178 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
179 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
180 for spotting the problem.
181
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000182 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
183 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
184 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
185 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
186 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
187
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000188 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
189 compiled with this enabled, with
190
191 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
192
193 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
194 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
195 statically with
196
197 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
198
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100199 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
200 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
201
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000202 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
203 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
204 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
205 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
206 distribution. You should of course check that these are
207 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
208
209 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
210 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000211
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000212 to your config is all thats needed to get things
213 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
214 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
215 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
216 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
217 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
218 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
219 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
220 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
221 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
222 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
223 records, which significantly improve the performance of
224 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
225 DNSSEC in action.
226
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100227 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
228 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
229 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
230 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
231 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
232 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
233 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
234 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
235 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
236 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
237 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
238 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
239 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
240 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
241 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
242 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
243
244 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
245 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
246 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
247 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
248 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
249 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
250 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
251 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
252 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
253 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
254 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
255 henceforward will be complete.
256
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000257 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
258 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
259 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
260 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
261 a workable state.
262
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000263 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000264
265 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
266 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000267
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000268 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
269 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
270 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000271 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000272 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
273 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
274 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
275 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
276
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000277 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
278 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
279 find this and helping to chase it down.
280
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100281 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
282 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
283 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
284
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100285 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
286 well as logging them.

Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000289version 2.68
290 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
291 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
292 addresses.
293
294 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
295 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
296 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
297 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
298 restarted, this bug disappeared.
299
300 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
301 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
302
303 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
304
305 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
306 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
307 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
308 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
309 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
310 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
311 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
312 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
313 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
314 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
315 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
316 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
317 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000318
319 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
320 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
321 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
322 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000323
324 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
325 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
326
327 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
328 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000329
330 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
331 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
332 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
333 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
334 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000335
336 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
337 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
338 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
339 corresponding address on the local interface.
340

Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100342version 2.67
343 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
344 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
345 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100346
347 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
348 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
349 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
350 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
351 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
352 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
353 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
354 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100355
356 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
357 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
358 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100359
360 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
361 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100362
363 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
364 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100365
366 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
367 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
368 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
369 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
370 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
371 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
372 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
373 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100374
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100375 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
376 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
377 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
378 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
379 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100380
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100381 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
382 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
383
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100384 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
385 spurious error when all seven possible items were
386 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100387
388 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
389 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
390
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100391 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
392 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
393
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100394 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
395 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
396 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
397 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
398 report.
399
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100400 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
401 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
402 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
403
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100404 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero
Simon Kelley3953dcc2013-07-03 20:40:45 +0100405 terminator. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the bug report.
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100406
Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100407 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
408 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
409
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100410 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
411 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
412 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
413 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
414
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100415 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
416 via DBus too.
417
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100418 When the address which triggered the construction of an
419 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
420 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
421 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
422 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
423 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
424 arguing for this.
425
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100426 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith

Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100429 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
430 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
431 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
432 for suggesting this.
433
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100434 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
435 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
436
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100437 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
438 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
439 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
440 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
441 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
442
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100443 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
444 for sponsoring this development.

Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100446 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
447 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
448
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100449 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
450 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
451 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
452
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100453 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
454 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
455
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100456 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
457 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
458 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
459 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
460 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100461
462 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
463 address must be either the first or last address in the
464 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
465 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100466
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100467 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100474 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
475 inspiration on this.
476
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100477 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100478 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
479 for sponsoring this feature.
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100480
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100481 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
482 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
483
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100484 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
485 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
486 suggestion.
487
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100488 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
489 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
490 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
491 spotting the problem.
492
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100493 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
494 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.
495
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100496
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000497version 2.66
498 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
499 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
500 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
501 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
502 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
503 servers to be configured.
504
505 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
506 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
507 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
508 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
509 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
510 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
511 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
512 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000513
514 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000515 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
516 patch.
517
518 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
519 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
520 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
521 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
522 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
523 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
524 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000525
526 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
527 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
528 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000529
530 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
531 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000532 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000533 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
534 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
535 bounty for this addition.
536
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000537 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
538 information-requests with some common configurations.
539 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
540 chasing the problem.
541
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000542 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
543 patch.
544
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000545 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000546 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000547
548 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
549 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000550
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100551 Handle the situation where libc headers define
552 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
553 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
554 Felker for the bug report.
555
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100556 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100557
558 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
559 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
560 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100561
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100562 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.

Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000564
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000565version 2.65
566 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
567 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
568 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
569
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000570 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
571 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000572
573 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000574
575
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100576version 2.64
577 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
578 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
579 spotting the problem.
580
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100581 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
582 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
583 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
584 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
585 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
586 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
587
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100588 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
589 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
590
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100591 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in

593
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100594 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
595 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
596
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000597 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan

599
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000600 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
601 Roy Marples for the patch.
602
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100603 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100606 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
607 for the patch.
608
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100609 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
610 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
611 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
612
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100613 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
614 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
615 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
616 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
617
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100618 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
619 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
620 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
621
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100622 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
623 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
624 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
625
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000626 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
627 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
628 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000629
630 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
631 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000632
633 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
634 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
635 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000636
637 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
638 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
639 without setting source address and interface, since this
640 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
641 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
642
643 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
644 dhcp-range on a subnet.

649
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100650 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
651 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
652
653 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
654 stuff is pointless without that.
655
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100656 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
657 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
658 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100659
660 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
661 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100662
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100663 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
664 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
665 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
666 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
667 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
668 superceded by other mechanisms.
669
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100670 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
671 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100678 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
679 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
680 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
681 the suggestion.
682
683 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
684 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
685 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100686

703
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100704 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router

707
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100708 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
709 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
710 for spotting this.
711
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100712 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when

Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100716 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
717
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100718 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
719 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
720 his help nailing this.
721
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000722version 2.61
723 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
724 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
725 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
726 addresses.
727
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100728 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
729 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
730 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
731 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
732 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
733 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000735 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
736
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000737 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
738 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
739 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100740 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000741 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000742
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000743 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
744 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
745 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
746
747 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
748
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000749 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
750 suggestion.
751
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000752 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
753 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
754 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
755 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
756 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
757 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
758 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
759 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
760 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
761 Gadgil.
762
763 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
764 the above.
765
766 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
767 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000768 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
769 Forkel.
770
771 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
772 work even if there is no interface carrying the
773 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
774 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
775 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
776 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
777 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000778
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000779 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
780 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
781 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
782
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100783 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
784 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
785 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
786 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
787 for existing connections, but new connections will use
788 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
789 renumbering at least possible.
790
791 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100792 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100801 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
802 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
803 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.

Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100807 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
808 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
809 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100810 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

831 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100832
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000833 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
834 which is not the primary address of an interface.
835
836 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
837
838 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
839 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
840 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
841 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
842 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
843 implementation.
844
845 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
846 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
847 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
848 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
849 set them from the make command line.
850
851 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
852 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
853
854 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
855 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
856
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000857 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
858 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000859
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000860 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
861 containing many distinct addresses.
862
863 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
864 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
865 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
866 this.
867
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000868 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
869 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
870
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000871 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
872 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
873 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
874 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
875
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000876 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
877 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
878 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
879 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000880 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000881 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
882
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000883 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
884 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
885 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
886 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
887 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
888 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
889 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
890 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
891 These will be added as the standards mature.
892 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
893 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
894 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000895
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000896 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
897 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
898 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
899 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
900 enabling with --enable-ra.
901
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000902 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
903 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
904 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
905 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000906

911
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000912version 2.59
913 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
914 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
915 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
916 report.
917
918 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
919 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
920 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
921 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
922 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
923 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
924 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
925 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
926 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100927
928
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100929version 2.58
930 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
931 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
932
933 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
934 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
935 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
936
937 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
938 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
939 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
940 server-deployment applications need this.
941
942 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
943 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
944 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
945 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
946 in chasing this one down.
947
948 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
949 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
950 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
951 the problem.
952
953 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
954 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
955 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
956 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
957 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
958 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
959
960 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
961 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
962 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
963 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
964 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
965 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
966 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
967 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
968
969 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
970 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
971
972 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
973 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
974 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
975 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
976
977 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
978 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
979
980 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
981 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
982 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
983 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
984 Agrawal for the patch.
985
986 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
987 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
988 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
989 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
990 per-network values. So
991 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
992 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
993 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
994 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
995 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
996 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
997
998 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
999 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1000 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1001 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1002 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1003 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1004 a comprehensive test-case.
1005
1006 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1007 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001008 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001009
1010 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1011 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1012 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1013 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001021version 2.57
1022 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1023
1024 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1025 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1026 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1027 effectively empty on Android.
1028
1029 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1030 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1031 wildcard.
1032
1033 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1034 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1035 spotting this.
1036
1037 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1038 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1039 when i18n is included.
1040 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1041
1042 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1043 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1044 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.

1046
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001047version 2.56
1048 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1049 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1050
1051 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1052 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1053 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1054 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1055
1056 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1057 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1058
1059 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1060 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1061 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1062
1063 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1064 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1065 syslogd.
1066
1067 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1068 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1069 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1070
1071 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1072 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1073 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1074
1075 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1076 option, on the command line.
1077
1078 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1079 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1080
1081 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1082 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1083 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1084 to John Hallam for the patch.
1085
1086 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1087 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1088 character chunks instead.
1089
1090 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1091 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1092 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1093 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1094
1095 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1096 transfer has completed succesfully.
1097
1098 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1099 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1100 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1101 which automatically creates
1102 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1103 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1104
1105 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1106 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1107
1108 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1109 thanks for that.
1110
1111 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1112 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1113 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1114 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1115 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1116 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1117 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1118 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1119 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1120
1121 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1122 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1123 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1124 set.
1125
1126 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1127 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.

1129 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1130 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1131 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1132
1133 Edit
1134 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1135 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1136 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1137
1138 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1139 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1140 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1141 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1142 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1143 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1144 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1145 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1146 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1147 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1148 So:
1149 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1150 --server=/google.com/#
1151 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1152 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1153 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1154 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1155 William for pointing out the need for this.
1156
1157 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1158 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1159 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1160
1161 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1162 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1163 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1164 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

1188 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1189 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1190
1191 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1192 generated by gcc 4.4.
1193
1194 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1195 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1196
1197 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1198 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1199 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1200
1201 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1202 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1203 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1204 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1205 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1206 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1207 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1208 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1209 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1210 much less confusing.
1211
1212 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1213 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1214 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1215
1216 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1217
1218 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1219
1220 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1221 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1222 finding this.
1223
1224 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1225 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1226 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1227 from the client.
1228
1229 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1230 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1231 finding this.
1232
1233 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1234 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1235 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1236 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1237 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1238 server-override option.
1239
1240 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1241 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1242 allows a single line of the form
1243 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1244 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1245 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1246 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1247 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1248 interface=<interface>
1249 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1250 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1251 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1252 configuration.
1253
1254 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1255
1256 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1257 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1258
1259 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1260 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1261 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1262 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1263
1264 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1265 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1266 file, not the process/descriptor.
1267
1268 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1269 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1270
1271 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1272 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1273 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1274 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1275 this and testing the fix.
1276
1277 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1278 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1279 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1280
1281 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1282 upstream servers: this allows something like
1283 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1284 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1285 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1286 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1287
1288 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1289 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1290 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1291 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1292 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1293 work on this.
1294
1295 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1296 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1297 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1298 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1299 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1300 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1301 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1302
1303 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1304
1305 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1306 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1307 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1308 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1309 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1310 here.
1311
1312 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1313
1314 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1315 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1316
1317 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1318 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1319 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1320 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1321 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1322
1323 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1324 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1325
1326 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1327 is set.
1328
1329 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1330 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1331
1332 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1333
1334 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1335
1336 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1337
1338 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1339
1340 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1341 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1342 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1343
1344 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1345
1346
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001347version 2.52
1348 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1349 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1350 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1351 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1352 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1353 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1354 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1355 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1356
1357 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1358 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1359 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1360 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1361
1362 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1363 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1364 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1365 when dnsmasq is first started.
1366
1367 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1368 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1369 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1370 with certain clients.
1371
1372 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1373 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1374 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1375
1376 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1377 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1378 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1379 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1380 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1381 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1382 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1383 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1384 numbers delimited by dots.
1385
1386 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1387 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1388
1389 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1390 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1391
1392 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1393 contrib/Solaris10.
1394
1395 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1396 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1397 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1398 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1399 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1400 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1401 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1402
1403 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1404 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1405 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1406 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1407
1408 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1409 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1410 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1411
1412 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1413 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1414 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1415
1416 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1417 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1418 looks like this:
1419 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1420
1421 Add some application specific code to assist in
1422 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1423 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1424
1425 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1426 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1427 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1428 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1429
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001430 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001431 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1432
1433 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1434 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1435 this.
1436
1437 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1438 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1439 providing this.
1440
1441 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1442 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1443
1444 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1445
1446 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

1448 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1449
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001450 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1451 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1452 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1453 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001454
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001455
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001456version 2.51
1457 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1458 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1459 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1460 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1461 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1462 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1463 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1464 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1465 suggestion.
1466
1467 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1468 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1469 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1470 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1471 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1472 a DHCP relay, if used.
1473 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1474
1475 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1476 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1477
1478 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1479 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1480 dhcp-option-force.
1481
1482 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1483 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1484 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1485
1486 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1487 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1488 the patch.
1489
1490 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1491
1492 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1493 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1494
1495 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1496 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1497 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1498 suggestion.
1499
1500 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1501 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1502 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1503 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1504 dhcp-optsfile.
1505
1506 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1507 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1508 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1509 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1510 suggestion.
1511
1512 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1513 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1514 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1515 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1516 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1517
1518 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1519 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1520 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1521 fragmented packets.
1522
1523 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1524 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1525

1545 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1546 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1547
1548 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1549 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1550 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1551 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1552
1553 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001569 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1570 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001582 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1583 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1584 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001585
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001586 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1587 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1588 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001589
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001590 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001591
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001592 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1593 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1594 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1595 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1596 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1597 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1598 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1599 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1600 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001601
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001602 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1603 useful suggestions.
1604
1605 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1606 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1607 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1608
1609 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1610 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001611
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001612 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001614
1615version 2.47
1616 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1617
1618 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1619 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1620
1621 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1622 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1623 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1624
1625 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1626 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1627 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1628 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1629 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1630 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1631 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1632 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1633 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1634 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1635 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1636 Krafft for the bug report.
1637
1638 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1639
1640 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1641 Fix for this bug:
1642 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1643
1644 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1645 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1646 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1647 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1648
1649 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1650 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1651
1652 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1653
1654 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1655 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1656 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1657 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1658 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1659
1660 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1661 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1662
1663 No longer complain about blank lines in
1664 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1665
1666 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1667 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1668 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1669 for the bug report.
1670
1671 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1672 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1673 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1674 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1675
1676 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1677 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1678 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1679 as before.
1680 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1681 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1682 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1683
1684 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1685 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1686 Windows even when using supernetting.
1687 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1688 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1689 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1690 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1691
1692 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1693
1694 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1695 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1696 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1697 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1698 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1699 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1700 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001701
1702
1703version 2.46
1704 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1705 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1706 suggestion.
1707
1708 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1709 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1710 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1711 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1712 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1713
1714 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1715 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1716 based in their IP address.
1717
1718 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1719 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1720 a domain associated with each client, and only
1721 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1722 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1723 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1724 long as they are in different domains.
1725
1726 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1727 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1728 have now that it's variable.
1729
1730 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1731 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1732 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1733 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1734 potential.
1735
1736 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1737 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1738 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1739
1740 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1741 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1742
1743 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1744 which the DHCP request was received.
1745
1746 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1747 Laine for the patch.
1748
1749 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1750 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1751
1752 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1753 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1754 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1755 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1756 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1757 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1758 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1759 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1760 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1761 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1762 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1763
1764 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1765 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1766 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1767 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1768 improvement.
1769
1770 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1771 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1772 suggestions on this.
1773
1774 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1775 Fisher.
1776
1777 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1778
1779 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1780 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1781
1782 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1783
1784 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1785 up" event occurs.
1786
1787
1788version 2.45
1789 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1790 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1791 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1792 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1793
1794
1795version 2.44
1796 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1797 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1798 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1799
1800 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1801 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1802 never been reported in the wild.
1803
1804 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1805 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1806
1807 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1808 is large.
1809
1810 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1811 David Gilman.
1812
1813 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1814
1815
1816version 2.43
1817 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1818
1819 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1820 illegally.
1821
1822 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1823
1824 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1825 format.
1826
1827 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1828 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1829 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1830 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1831 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1832
1833 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1834 Rack for the bug report.
1835
1836 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1837 Bergquist.
1838
1839 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1840 option.
1841
1842 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1843 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1844
1845 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1846 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1847
1848 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1849 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1850 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1851 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1852 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1853 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1854 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1855 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1856 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1857 suggestions.
1858
1859 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1860 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1861 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1862
1863 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1864 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1865 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1866 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1867 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1868 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1869 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1870 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1871 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1872 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1873
1874 Replace the random number generator, for better
1875 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1876 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1877 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1878 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1879 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1880 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1881
1882 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1883 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1884 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1885 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1886 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1887
1888 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
