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

Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +01006 Calculate the length of TFTP error reply packet
7 correctly. This fixes a problem when the error
8 message in a TFTP packet exceeds the arbitrary
9 limit of 500 characters. The message was correctly
10 truncated, but not the packet length, so
11 extra data was appended. This is a possible
12 security risk, since the extra data comes from
13 a buffer which is also used for DNS, so that
14 previous DNS queries or replies may be leaked.
15 Thanks to Mozilla for funding the security audit
16 which spotted this bug.

Ivan Kokshaysky1d076672016-07-11 18:36:05 +010018 Fix logic error in Linux netlink code. This could
19 cause dnsmasq to enter a tight loop on systems
20 with a very large number of network interfaces.
21 Thanks to Ivan Kokshaysky for the diagnosis and
22 patch.
23
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant06093a92016-07-11 21:03:27 +010024 Fix problem with --dnssec-timestamp whereby receipt
25 of SIGHUP would erroneously engage timestamp checking.
26 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for this work.
Simon Kelleyc8328ec2016-08-05 16:54:58 +010027
28 Bump zone serial on reloading /etc/hosts and friends
29 when providing authoritative DNS. Thanks to Harrald
30 Dunkel for spotting this.
Simon Kelley6d950992016-08-11 23:38:54 +010031
32 Handle v4-mapped IPv6 addresses sanely in --synth-domain.
33 These have standard representation like ::ffff:1.2.3.4
34 and are now converted to names like
35 <prefix>--ffff-1-2-3-4.<domain>
36
Beniamino Galvani2675f202016-08-28 20:44:05 +010037 Handle binding upstream servers to an interface
38 (--server=1.2.3.4@eth0) when the named interface
39 is destroyed and recreated in the kernel. Thanks to
40 Beniamino Galvani for the patch.
41
Simon Kelleyb637d782016-12-13 16:44:11 +000042 Allow wildcard CNAME records in authoritative zones.
43 For example --cname=*.example.com,default.example.com
44 Thanks to Pro Backup for sponsoring this development.
45
Simon Kelley09b768e2016-12-22 22:16:58 +000046 Bump the allowed backlog of TCP connections from 5 to 32,
47 and make this a compile-time configurable option. Thanks
48 to Donatas Abraitis for diagnosing this as a potential
49 problem.
50
ZHAO Yuf89cae32016-12-22 22:32:31 +000051 Add DNSMASQ_REQUESTED_OPTIONS environment variable to the
52 lease-change script. Thanks to ZHAO Yu for the patch.
Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +010053
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +000054 Fix foobar in rrfilter code, that could cause malformed
Simon Kelley0740e432017-01-26 18:02:54 +000055 replies, especially when DNSSEC validation on, and
56 the upstream server returns answer with the RRs in a
57 particular order. The only DNS server known to tickle
58 this is Nominum's. Thanks to Dave Täht for spotting the
59 bug and assisting in the fix.
60
Simon Kelleyd42d4702017-02-02 16:52:06 +000061 Fix the manpage which lied that only the primary address
62 of an interface is used by --interface-name.
63
64 Make --localise-queries apply to names from --interface-name.
65 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant and Eric Luehrsen
66 for pushing this.
67
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +000068 Improve connection handling when talking to TCP upstream
Simon Kelley361dfe52017-02-10 21:12:30 +000069 servers. Specifically, be prepared to open a new TCP
70 connection when we want to make multiple queries
71 but the upstream server accepts fewer queries per connection.
Hannu Nyman3e2496f2017-02-11 13:44:08 +000072
73 Improve logging of upstream servers when there are a lot
74 of "local addresses only" entries. Thanks to Hannu Nyman for
75 the patch.
Simon Kelley361dfe52017-02-10 21:12:30 +000076
Simon Kelley88a77a72017-02-11 17:02:02 +000077 Implement RFC 6842. Thanks to Reddeiah Raju Konduru for
78 pointing out that this was missing.
79
80
Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +010081version 2.76
82 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
83 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
84 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
85 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
86 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +010087
88 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
89 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +010090
91 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
92 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
93 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
94 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
95
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +000096 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
97 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
98 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
99 the patch.
100
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +0000101 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
102 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
103 for the patch.
104
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +0000105 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
106 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
107 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
108 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
109 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
110
111 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
112 not SERVFAIL.
113
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +0000114 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
115 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000116
117 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
118 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000119 removal of entries in the ARP or neighbour tables.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000120
121 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000122 as base64, by configuring --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000123
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000124 Add --add-cpe-id option.
125
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000126 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
127 is declared as a whole /64.
128 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
129 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
130
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +0000131 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
132 --cname.
133
134 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000135
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000136 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
137 initial patch.
138
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +0100139 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
140 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
141 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
142 for spotting this.
143
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +0100144 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
145 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
146 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
147
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +0100148 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
149 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
150
151 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
152 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
153
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100154 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
155 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
156 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +0100157 in src/config.h.
158
159 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
160 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
161 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
162 will need to update your config.
163
164 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
165 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100166
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100167 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
168 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
169 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000170 work with these architectures.
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100171
172 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
173 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
174 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
175 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
176 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
177 single-item boot menu.
178
179 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
180 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
181
Simon Kelleyda2cad42016-05-18 15:14:08 +0100182 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
183 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
184 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
185 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
186 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
187 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
188 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
189 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
190 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
191 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
192 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
193 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
194 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
195 have a config with a basename which already has a
196 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
197 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
198 name.suffix

Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000200
Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +0100201version 2.75
202 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
203 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
204 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
205
206
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +0100207version 2.74
208 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
209 read the default file, rather than no file.
210
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100211 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
212 not SEGV in some circumstances.
213
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100214 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
215 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
216 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
217
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100218
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100219version 2.73
220 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
221 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
222 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000223
224 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
225 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
226 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
227
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000228 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
229 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000230 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
231 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
232 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000233
234 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
235 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
236 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000237
238 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
239 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
240 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
241 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000242
243 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
244 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000245
246 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
247 queries which include the specified address. No error is
248 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
249 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
250 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
251 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
252 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000253
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000254 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
255 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
256 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
257 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
258 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
259 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
260 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
261 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100262
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000263 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
264 to search automatically.
265
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000266 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
267 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
268 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
269 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
270 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000271 floor of one hour. Thanks to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000272
273 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
274 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
275 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000276
277 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
278 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
279 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
280 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000281
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000282 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
283 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
284 for the patch.
285
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000286 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000287
288 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100289 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
290 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
291 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
292 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100293
294 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
295 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100296
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100297 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
298 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
299 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
300 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
301 sterling work chasing this down.
302
303 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
304 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100305 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
306 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
307 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100308
309 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
310 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
311 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
312 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
313 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
314 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
315 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
316 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100317
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100318 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
319 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
320 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
321 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
322 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
323 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100324 pointing out the problem.
325
326 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
327 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
328 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100329
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100330 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
331 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
332 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
333 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
334 change permanent.

Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100336 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind

338
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100339 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
340 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
341
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100342 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
343 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
344 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
345 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100346
347 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks

360 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000361 Sven Falempin for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100362
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100363 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
364 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
365 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100366
367 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
368 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100369
370 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
371 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100372
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000373 When assigning existing DHCP leases to interfaces by comparing
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100374 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
375 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
376 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
377 patch.
378
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100379 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
380 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
381 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
382 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
383 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
384 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
385
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100386 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
387 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
388 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +0100389
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100390 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
391 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100392
393 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
394 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
395 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100396
397 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
398 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.

Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100401version 2.71
402 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
403 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
404 non-existent DS records.
405
406 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
407 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
408 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
409 report.
410
411 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
412 for spotting that too.
413
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100414 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
415 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
416 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
417
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100418
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100419version 2.70
420 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
421 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
422 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
423
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100424 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
425 Wang Jian for the bug report.

Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100427
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000428version 2.69
429 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000430 the constructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000431 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
432 valuable research on how to implement this.
433
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000434 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000435 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000436
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000437 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
438 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
439 for spotting the problem.
440
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000441 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
442 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
443 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
444 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
445 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
446
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000447 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
448 compiled with this enabled, with
449
450 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
451
452 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
453 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
454 statically with
455
456 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
457
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100458 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
459 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
460
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000461 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
462 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
463 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
464 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
465 distribution. You should of course check that these are
466 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
467
468 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
469 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000470
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +0000471 to your config is all that's needed to get things
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000472 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
473 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
474 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
475 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
476 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
477 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
478 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
479 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
480 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
481 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
482 records, which significantly improve the performance of
483 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
484 DNSSEC in action.
485
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100486 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
487 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
488 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
489 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
490 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
491 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
492 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
493 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
494 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
495 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
496 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
497 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
498 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
499 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
500 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
501 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
502
503 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
504 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
505 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
506 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
507 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
508 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
509 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
510 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
511 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
512 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
513 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
514 henceforward will be complete.
515
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000516 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
517 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
518 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
519 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
520 a workable state.
521
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000522 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000523
524 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
525 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000526
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000527 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
528 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
529 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000530 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000531 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
532 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
533 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
534 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
535
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000536 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
537 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
538 find this and helping to chase it down.
539
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100540 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
541 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
542 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
543
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100544 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
545 well as logging them.

Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000548version 2.68
549 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
550 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
551 addresses.
552
553 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
554 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
555 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
556 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
557 restarted, this bug disappeared.
558
559 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
560 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
561
562 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
563
564 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
565 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
566 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
567 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000568 work-around which exempted constructed DHCP ranges from the
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000569 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
570 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
571 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000572 constructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000573 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
574 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
575 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
576 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000577
578 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
579 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
580 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
581 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000582
583 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
584 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
585
586 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
587 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000588
589 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
590 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
591 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
592 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
593 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000594
595 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
596 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
597 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
598 corresponding address on the local interface.

604 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100605
606 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
607 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
608 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
609 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
610 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
611 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
612 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
613 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100614

Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100624
625 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
626 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
627 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
628 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
629 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
630 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
631 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
632 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

652
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100653 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
654 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
655 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
656 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
657 report.

Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100669 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN

Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100677 When the address which triggered the construction of an
678 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
679 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
680 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
681 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
682 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
683 arguing for this.

Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100715 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
716 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
717 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
718 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
719 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100720
721 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
722 address must be either the first or last address in the
723 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
724 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.

Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100743 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
744 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
745 suggestion.
746
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100747 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000748 as eligible for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100749 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
750 spotting the problem.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000756version 2.66
757 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
758 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
759 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
760 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
761 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
762 servers to be configured.
763
764 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
765 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
766 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
767 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
768 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
769 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
770 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
771 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000772
773 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000774 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
775 patch.
776
777 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
778 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
779 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
780 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
781 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
782 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
783 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000784
785 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
786 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
787 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000788
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000789 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBSCRIBER_ID,
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000790 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000791 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000792 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
793 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
794 bounty for this addition.
795
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000796 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6

798 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
799 chasing the problem.
800
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000801 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the

Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000804 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000805 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000806

Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100810 Handle the situation where libc headers define
811 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
812 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
813 Felker for the bug report.

819 the bug report.

825 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
826 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
827 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
828
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000829 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to

834
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100835version 2.64
836 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
837 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
838 spotting the problem.
839
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100840 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
841 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
842 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000843 generate a warning. Now that only happens if there is not
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100844 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
845 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
846
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100847 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

867
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100868 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000869 infinite loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100870 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
871
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100872 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
873 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
874 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
875 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
876
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100877 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
878 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
879 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
880
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100881 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
882 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
883 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
884
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000885 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
886 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
887 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.

896 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
897 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
898 without setting source address and interface, since this

911
912 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
913 stuff is pointless without that.
914
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100915 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
916 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
917 interfaces.

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100922 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
923 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
924 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
925 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
926 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +0000927 superseded by other mechanisms.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100937 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time

939 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
940 the suggestion.

Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000981version 2.61
982 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use

984 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
985 addresses.
986
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100987 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
988 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
989 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
990 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
991 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
992 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000996 Explicitly send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000997 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
998 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets

Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001002 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
1003 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
1004 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
1005
1006 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
1007
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +00001008 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the

Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001011 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
1012 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
1013 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001014 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilities
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001015 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
1016 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
1017 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
1018 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
1019 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
1020 Gadgil.
1021
1022 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
1023 the above.
1024
1025 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running

1028 Forkel.
1029
1030 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
1031 work even if there is no interface carrying the
1032 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
1033 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid

1036 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +00001038 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
1039 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
1040 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
1041
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001042 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
1043 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001044 preferred lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001045 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
1046 for existing connections, but new connections will use
1047 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
1048 renumbering at least possible.
1049
1050 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001051 acquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +01001052
1053 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +01001060 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001061 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-existent
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +01001062 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +01001063
1064 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001065 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +01001066 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
1067 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
1068 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +01001069 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +01001078
1079 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
1080 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001081 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +01001082 Ene for the patch.
Simon Kelley19d69be2012-04-27 10:14:34 +01001083

1089 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
1090 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001091
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001092 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
1093 which is not the primary address of an interface.
1094
1095 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
1096
1097 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1098 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1099 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1100 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1101 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1102 implementation.
1103
1104 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1105 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1106 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1107 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1108 set them from the make command line.
1109
1110 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1111 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
1112
1113 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1114 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
1115
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +00001116 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
1117 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001118
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001119 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1120 containing many distinct addresses.
1121
1122 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1123 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1124 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1125 this.
1126
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001127 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1128 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
1129
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001130 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1131 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1132 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1133 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1134
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001135 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1136 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1137 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1138 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001139 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001140 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1141
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001142 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1143 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1144 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1145 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1146 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1147 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1148 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1149 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1150 These will be added as the standards mature.
1151 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1152 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1153 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001154
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001155 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1156 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1157 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1158 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1159 enabling with --enable-ra.
1160
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001161 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1162 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1163 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1164 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001171version 2.59
1172 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1173 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1174 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1175 report.
1176
1177 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1178 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1179 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1180 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1181 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1182 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1183 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1184 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1185 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001186
1187
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001188version 2.58
1189 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1190 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1191
1192 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1193 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1194 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1195
1196 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1197 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1198 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1199 server-deployment applications need this.
1200
1201 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1202 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1203 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1204 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1205 in chasing this one down.
1206
1207 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1208 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1209 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1210 the problem.
1211
1212 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1213 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +00001214 desirable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001215 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1216 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1217 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1218
1219 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1220 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1221 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1222 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1223 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1224 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1225 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1226 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1227
1228 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1229 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1230
1231 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1232 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1233 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1234 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1235
1236 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1237 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1238
1239 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1240 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1241 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1242 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1243 Agrawal for the patch.
1244
1245 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1246 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1247 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1248 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1249 per-network values. So
1250 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1251 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1252 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1253 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1254 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1255 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1256
1257 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1258 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1259 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1260 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1261 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1262 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1263 a comprehensive test-case.
1264
1265 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1266 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001267 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001268
1269 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1270 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1271 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1272 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1273 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

1279
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001280version 2.57
1281 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1282
1283 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1284 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1285 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1286 effectively empty on Android.
1287
1288 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1289 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1290 wildcard.
1291
1292 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1293 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1294 spotting this.
1295
1296 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1297 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1298 when i18n is included.
1299 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1300
1301 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1302 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1303 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1304
1305
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001306version 2.56
1307 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1308 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1309
1310 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1311 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1312 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1313 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1314
1315 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1316 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1317
1318 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1319 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1320 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1321
1322 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1323 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1324 syslogd.
1325
1326 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1327 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +00001328 Petrin for the original patch.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001329
1330 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1331 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1332 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1333
1334 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1335 option, on the command line.
1336
1337 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1338 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1339
1340 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001341 b) --keep-in-foreground is set. The logging facility on the
1342 other end of stderr can be assumed to supply them. Thanks
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001343 to John Hallam for the patch.
1344
1345 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1346 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1347 character chunks instead.
1348
1349 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1350 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1351 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1352 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1353
1354 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001355 transfer has completed successfully.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001356
1357 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1358 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1359 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1360 which automatically creates
1361 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1362 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1363
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001364 Tighten up syntax checking of hex constants in the config
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001365 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1366
1367 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1368 thanks for that.
1369
1370 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1371 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1372 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1373 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1374 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1375 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1376 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1377 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1378 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1379
1380 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1381 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1382 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1383 set.
1384
1385 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1386 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1387
1388 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1389 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1390 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1391
1392 Edit
1393 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1394 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1395 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1396
1397 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1398 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1399 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1400 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1401 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001402 override this behaviour by defining the semantics if the
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001403 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1404 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1405 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001406 of the address family which doesn't appear in --address
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001407 So:
1408 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1409 --server=/google.com/#
1410 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1411 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1412 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1413 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1414 William for pointing out the need for this.
1415
1416 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1417 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1418 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1419
1420 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1421 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1422 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1423 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001425 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001446version 2.53
1447 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1448 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1449
1450 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1451 generated by gcc 4.4.
1452
1453 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1454 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1455
1456 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1457 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1458 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1459
1460 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1461 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1462 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1463 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1464 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1465 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1466 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1467 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1468 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1469 much less confusing.
1470
1471 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1472 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1473 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1474
1475 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1476
1477 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1478
1479 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1480 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1481 finding this.
1482
1483 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1484 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1485 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1486 from the client.
1487
1488 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1489 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1490 finding this.
1491
1492 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1493 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1494 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1495 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1496 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1497 server-override option.
1498
1499 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1500 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1501 allows a single line of the form
1502 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1503 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1504 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1505 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001506 irrespective of the existence or lack of
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001507 interface=<interface>
1508 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1509 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1510 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1511 configuration.
1512
1513 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1514
1515 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1516 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1517
1518 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1519 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1520 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1521 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1522
1523 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1524 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1525 file, not the process/descriptor.
1526
1527 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1528 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1529
1530 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1531 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1532 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1533 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1534 this and testing the fix.
1535
1536 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1537 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1538 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1539
1540 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1541 upstream servers: this allows something like
1542 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1543 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1544 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1545 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1546
1547 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1548 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1549 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1550 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1551 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1552 work on this.
1553
1554 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1555 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1556 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1557 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1558 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1559 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1560 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1561
1562 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1563
1564 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1565 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1566 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1567 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1568 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1569 here.
1570
1571 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1572
1573 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1574 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1575
1576 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1577 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1578 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1579 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1580 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1581
1582 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1583 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1584
1585 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1586 is set.
1587
1588 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1589 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1590
1591 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1592
1593 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1594
1595 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1596
1597 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1598
1599 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1600 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1601 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1602
1603 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1604
1605
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001606version 2.52
1607 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1608 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1609 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1610 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1611 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1612 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1613 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1614 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1615
1616 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1617 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1618 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1619 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1620
1621 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1622 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1623 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1624 when dnsmasq is first started.
1625
1626 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1627 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1628 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1629 with certain clients.
1630
1631 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1632 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1633 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1634
1635 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1636 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1637 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1638 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1639 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1640 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1641 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1642 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1643 numbers delimited by dots.
1644
1645 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1646 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1647
1648 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1649 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1650
1651 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1652 contrib/Solaris10.
1653
1654 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1655 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1656 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1657 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1658 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1659 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1660 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1661
1662 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1663 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1664 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1665 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1666
1667 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1668 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1669 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1670
1671 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1672 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1673 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1674
1675 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1676 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1677 looks like this:
1678 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1679
1680 Add some application specific code to assist in
1681 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1682 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1683
1684 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1685 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1686 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1687 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1688
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001689 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001690 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1691
1692 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1693 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1694 this.
1695
1696 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1697 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1698 providing this.
1699
1700 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1701 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1702
1703 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1704
1705 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1706
1707 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1708
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001709 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1710 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1711 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1712 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001713
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001714
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001715version 2.51
1716 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1717 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1718 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1719 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1720 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1721 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1722 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1723 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1724 suggestion.
1725
1726 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1727 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1728 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1729 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1730 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1731 a DHCP relay, if used.
1732 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1733
1734 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1735 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1736
1737 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1738 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1739 dhcp-option-force.
1740
1741 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1742 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1743 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1744
1745 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1746 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1747 the patch.
1748
1749 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1750
1751 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1752 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1753
1754 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1755 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1756 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1757 suggestion.
1758
1759 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1760 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1761 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1762 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1763 dhcp-optsfile.
1764
1765 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1766 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1767 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1768 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1769 suggestion.
1770
1771 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1772 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1773 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1774 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1775 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1776
1777 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1778 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1779 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1780 fragmented packets.
1781
1782 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1783 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1784
1785 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001789 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001790 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1791 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1792 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1793 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1794 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121

1796
1797 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1798 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1799 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1800 CVE: 2009-2958

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001803version 2.49
1804 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1805 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1806
1807 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1808 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1809 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1810 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1811
1812 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001820 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1821 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1822 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001823
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001824 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1825 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1826 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001827
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001828 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1829 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1830 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1831 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001832
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001833 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1834 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001835
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001836 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1837 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1838 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1839 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001840
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001841 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1842 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1843 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001844
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001845 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1846 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1847 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001848
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001849 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001850
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001851 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1852 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1853 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1854 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1855 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1856 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1857 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1858 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1859 and Michael Brown for assistance.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001861 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1862 useful suggestions.
1863
1864 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1865 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1866 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1867
1868 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1869 configuration files only.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001871 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1874version 2.47
1875 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1876
1877 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1878 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1879
1880 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1881 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001882 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overridden in CFLAGS.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001883
1884 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1885 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1886 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1887 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1888 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1889 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1890 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1891 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1892 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1893 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1894 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1895 Krafft for the bug report.
1896
1897 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1898
1899 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1900 Fix for this bug:
1901 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1902
1903 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1904 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1905 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1906 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1907
1908 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1909 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1910
1911 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1912
1913 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1914 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1915 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1916 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1917 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1918
1919 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1920 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1921
1922 No longer complain about blank lines in
1923 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1924
1925 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1926 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1927 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1928 for the bug report.
1929
1930 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1931 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1932 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1933 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1934
1935 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1936 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1937 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1938 as before.
1939 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1940 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1941 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1942
1943 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1944 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1945 Windows even when using supernetting.
1946 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1947 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1948 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1949 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1950
1951 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1952
1953 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1954 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1955 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1956 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1957 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1958 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1959 dnsmasq.

1961
1962version 2.46
1963 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1964 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1965 suggestion.
1966
1967 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1968 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1969 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1970 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1971 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1972
1973 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1974 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1975 based in their IP address.
1976
1977 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1978 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1979 a domain associated with each client, and only
1980 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1981 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1982 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1983 long as they are in different domains.
1984
1985 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1986 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1987 have now that it's variable.
1988
1989 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1990 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1991 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1992 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1993 potential.
1994
1995 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1996 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1997 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1998
1999 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
2000 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
2001
2002 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
2003 which the DHCP request was received.
2004
2005 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
2006 Laine for the patch.
2007
2008 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
2009 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
2010
2011 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
2012 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
2013 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
2014 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
2015 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
2016 address to a host which has two network interfaces
2017 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
2018 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
2019 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
2020 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
2021 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
2022
2023 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
2024 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
2025 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
2026 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
2027 improvement.
2028
2029 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
2030 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
2031 suggestions on this.
2032
2033 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
2034 Fisher.
2035
2036 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2037
2038 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
2039 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
2040
2041 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
2042
2043 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
2044 up" event occurs.
2045
2046
2047version 2.45
2048 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
2049 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
2050 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
2051 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
2052
2053
2054version 2.44
2055 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
2056 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
2057 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
2058
2059 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
2060 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
2061 never been reported in the wild.
2062
2063 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
2064 Jean Wolter for finding this.
2065
2066 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
2067 is large.
2068
2069 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
2070 David Gilman.
2071
2072 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
2073
2074
2075version 2.43
2076 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2077
2078 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
2079 illegally.
2080
2081 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
2082
2083 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
2084 format.
2085
2086 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2087 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2088 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2089 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2090 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
2091
2092 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
2093 Rack for the bug report.
2094
2095 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
2096 Bergquist.
2097
2098 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
2099 option.
2100
2101 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2102 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
2103
2104 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2105 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
2106
2107 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2108 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2109 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2110 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2111 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2112 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2113 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2114 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2115 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2116 suggestions.
2117
2118 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2119 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2120 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2121
2122 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2123 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2124 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2125 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2126 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2127 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2128 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2129 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2130 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2131 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2132
2133 Replace the random number generator, for better
2134 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2135 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2136 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2137 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2138 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2139 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2140
2141 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2142 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2143 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2144 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2145 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2146
2147 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
