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 Kelleyfca008d2017-02-19 18:50:41 +000077 Make --bogus-priv apply to IPv6, for the prefixes specified
78 in RFC6303. Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for work on this.
Floris Bos60704f52017-04-09 22:22:49 +010079
80 Allow use of MAC addresses with --tftp-unique-root. Thanks
81 to Floris Bos for the patch.
Floris Bos503c6092017-04-09 23:07:13 +010082
83 Add --dhcp-reply-delay option. Thanks to Floris Bos
84 for the patch.
David Flamand005c46d2017-04-11 11:49:54 +010085
86 Add mtu setting facility to --ra-param. Thanks to David
87 Flamand for the patch.
Petr Menšíkc77fb9d2017-04-16 20:20:08 +010088
89 Capture STDOUT and STDERR output from dhcp-script and log
90 it as part of the dnsmasq log stream. Makes life easier
91 for diagnosing unexpected problems in scripts.
92 Thanks to Petr Mensik for the patch.
93
Petr Menšík3a8b0f62017-04-23 14:12:37 +010094 Generate fatal errors when failing to parse the output
95 of the dhcp-script in "init" mode. Avoids strange errors
96 when the script accidentally emits error messages.
97 Thanks to Petr Mensik for the patch.
98
Vladislav Grishenko5a7212c2017-04-24 22:19:57 +010099 Make --rev-server for an RFC1918 subnet work even in the
100 presence of the --bogus-priv flag. Thanks to
101 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Simon Kelley88a77a72017-02-11 17:02:02 +0000102
Vladislav Grishenko6ec5f5c2017-04-24 22:34:45 +0100103 Extend --ra-param mtu: field to allow an interface name.
104 This allows the MTU of a WAN interface to be advertised on
105 the internal interfaces of a router. Thanks to
106 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
107
Simon Kelley5ce3e762017-04-28 22:14:20 +0100108 Do ICMP-ping check for address-in-use for DHCPv4 when
109 the client specifies an address in DHCPDISCOVER, and when
110 an address in configured locally. Thanks to Alin Năstac
111 for spotting the problem.
112
Simon Kelleyb2a9c572017-04-30 18:21:31 +0100113 Add new DHCP tag "known-othernet" which is set when only a
114 dhcp-host exists for another subnet. Can be used to ensure
115 that privileged hosts are not given "guest" addresses by
116 accident. Thanks to Todd Sanket for the suggestion.
117
Vladislav Grishenko6ec5f5c2017-04-24 22:34:45 +0100118
Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +0100119version 2.76
120 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
121 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
122 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
123 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
124 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Floris Bos503c6092017-04-09 23:07:13 +0100125
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +0100126 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
127 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +0100128
129 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
130 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
131 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
132 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
133
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +0000134 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
135 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
136 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
137 the patch.
138
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +0000139 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
140 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
141 for the patch.
142
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +0000143 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
144 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
145 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
146 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
147 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
148
149 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
150 not SERVFAIL.
151
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +0000152 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
153 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000154
155 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
156 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000157 removal of entries in the ARP or neighbour tables.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000158
159 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000160 as base64, by configuring --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000161
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000162 Add --add-cpe-id option.
163
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000164 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
165 is declared as a whole /64.
166 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
167 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
168
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +0000169 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
170 --cname.
171
172 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000173
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000174 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
175 initial patch.
176
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +0100177 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
178 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
179 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
180 for spotting this.
181
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +0100182 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
183 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
184 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
185
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +0100186 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
187 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
188
189 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
190 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
191
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100192 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
193 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
194 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +0100195 in src/config.h.
196
197 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
198 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
199 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
200 will need to update your config.
201
202 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
203 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100204
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100205 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
206 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
207 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000208 work with these architectures.
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100209
210 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
211 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
212 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
213 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
214 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
215 single-item boot menu.
216
217 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
218 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
219
Simon Kelleyda2cad42016-05-18 15:14:08 +0100220 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
221 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
222 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
223 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
224 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
225 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
226 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
227 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
228 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
229 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
230 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
231 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
232 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
233 have a config with a basename which already has a
234 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
235 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
236 name.suffix
237
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000238
Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +0100239version 2.75
240 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
241 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
242 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
243
244
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +0100245version 2.74
246 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
247 read the default file, rather than no file.
248
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100249 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
250 not SEGV in some circumstances.
251
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100252 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
253 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
254 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
255
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100256
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100257version 2.73
258 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
259 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
260 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000261
262 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
263 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
264 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
265
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000266 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
267 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000268 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
269 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
270 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000271
272 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
273 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
274 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000275
276 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
277 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
278 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
279 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000280
281 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
282 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000283
284 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
285 queries which include the specified address. No error is
286 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
287 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
288 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
289 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
290 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000291
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000292 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
293 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
294 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
295 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
296 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
297 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
298 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
299 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100300
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000301 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
302 to search automatically.
303
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000304 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
305 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
306 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
307 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
308 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000309 floor of one hour. Thanks to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000310
311 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
312 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
313 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000314
315 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
316 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
317 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
318 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000319
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000320 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
321 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
322 for the patch.
323
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000324 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000325
326 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100327 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
328 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
329 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
330 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100331
332 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
333 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100334
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100335 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
336 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
337 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
338 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
339 sterling work chasing this down.
340
341 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
342 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100343 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
344 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
345 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100346
347 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
348 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
349 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
350 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
351 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
352 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
353 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
354 for the bugreport and initial patch.

Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100356 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
357 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
358 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
359 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
360 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
361 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100362 pointing out the problem.
363
364 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
365 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
366 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100367
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100368 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
369 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
370 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
371 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
372 change permanent.
373
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100374 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
375 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
376
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100377 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
378 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
379
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100380 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
381 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
382 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
383 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100384
385 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
386 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100387
388 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the
389 "on-link" bit set. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
390
391 Extend --bridge-interface to DHCPv6 and router
392 advertisements. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.

Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +0100396 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
397
398 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000399 Sven Falempin for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100400
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100401 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
402 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
403 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100404
405 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
406 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100407
408 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
409 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100410
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000411 When assigning existing DHCP leases to interfaces by comparing
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100412 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
413 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
414 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
415 patch.
416
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100417 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
418 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
419 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
420 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
421 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
422 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
423
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100424 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
425 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
426 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +0100427
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100428 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
429 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100430
431 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
432 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
433 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100434
435 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
436 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.

Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100439version 2.71
440 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
441 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
442 non-existent DS records.
443
444 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
445 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
446 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
447 report.
448
449 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
450 for spotting that too.
451
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100452 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
453 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
454 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
455
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100456
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100457version 2.70
458 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
459 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
460 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
461
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100462 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
463 Wang Jian for the bug report.
464
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100465
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000466version 2.69
467 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000468 the constructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000469 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
470 valuable research on how to implement this.
471
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000472 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000473 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000474
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000475 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
476 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
477 for spotting the problem.
478
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000479 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
480 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
481 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
482 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
483 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
484
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000485 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
486 compiled with this enabled, with
487
488 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
489
490 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
491 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
492 statically with
493
494 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
495
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100496 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
497 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
498
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000499 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
500 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
501 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
502 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
503 distribution. You should of course check that these are
504 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
505
506 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
507 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000508
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +0000509 to your config is all that's needed to get things
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000510 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
511 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
512 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
513 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
514 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
515 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
516 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
517 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
518 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
519 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
520 records, which significantly improve the performance of
521 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
522 DNSSEC in action.
523
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100524 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
525 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
526 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
527 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
528 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
529 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
530 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
531 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
532 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
533 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
534 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
535 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
536 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
537 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
538 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
539 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
540
541 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
542 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
543 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
544 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
545 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
546 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
547 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
548 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
549 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
550 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
551 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
552 henceforward will be complete.
553
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000554 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
555 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
556 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
557 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
558 a workable state.
559
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000560 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000561
562 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
563 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000564
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000565 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
566 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
567 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000568 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000569 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
570 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
571 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
572 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
573
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000574 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
575 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
576 find this and helping to chase it down.
577
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100578 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
579 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
580 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
581
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100582 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
583 well as logging them.

Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000586version 2.68
587 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
588 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
589 addresses.
590
591 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
592 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
593 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
594 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
595 restarted, this bug disappeared.
596
597 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
598 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
599
600 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
601
602 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
603 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
604 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
605 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000606 work-around which exempted constructed DHCP ranges from the
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000607 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
608 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
609 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000610 constructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000611 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
612 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
613 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
614 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000615
616 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
617 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
618 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
619 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000620
621 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
622 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
623
624 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
625 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000626
627 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
628 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
629 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
630 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
631 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000632
633 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
634 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
635 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
636 corresponding address on the local interface.
637

Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100639version 2.67
640 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
641 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
642 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100643
644 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
645 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
646 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
647 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
648 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
649 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
650 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
651 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100652

660 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
661 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100662
663 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
664 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
665 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
666 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
667 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
668 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
669 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
670 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100684
685 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks

689 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
690
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100691 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
692 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
693 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
694 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
695 report.

711
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100712 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
713 via DBus too.
714
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100715 When the address which triggered the construction of an
716 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
717 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
718 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
719 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
720 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
721 arguing for this.
722
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100723 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
724 for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100725
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100726 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
727 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
728 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
729 for suggesting this.
730
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100731 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
732 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
733
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100734 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
735 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
736 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
737 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
738 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
739
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100740 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
741 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100742
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100743 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
744 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
745
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100746 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
747 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
748 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
749
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100750 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
751 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
752
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100753 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
754 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
755 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
756 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
757 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100758
759 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
760 address must be either the first or last address in the
761 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
762 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100763
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100764 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

772 inspiration on this.
773
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100774 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100775 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
776 for sponsoring this feature.
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100777
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100778 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
779 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
780
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100781 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
782 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
783 suggestion.
784
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100785 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000786 as eligible for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100787 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
788 spotting the problem.
789
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100790 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
791 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.
792

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000794version 2.66
795 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
796 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
797 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
798 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
799 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
800 servers to be configured.
801
802 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
803 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
804 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
805 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
806 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
807 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
808 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
809 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000810
811 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000812 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
813 patch.
814
815 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
816 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
817 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
818 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
819 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
820 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
821 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000822
823 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
824 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
825 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000826
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000827 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBSCRIBER_ID,
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000828 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000829 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000830 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
831 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
832 bounty for this addition.
833
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000834 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
835 information-requests with some common configurations.
836 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
837 chasing the problem.
838
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000839 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
840 patch.
841
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000842 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000843 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000844
845 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
846 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000847
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100848 Handle the situation where libc headers define
849 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
850 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
851 Felker for the bug report.
852
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100853 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100854
855 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
856 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
857 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100858
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100859 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.

Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000861
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000862version 2.65
863 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
864 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
865 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
866
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000867 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
868 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.

Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000870 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke caching.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000871
872
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100873version 2.64
874 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
875 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
876 spotting the problem.
877
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100878 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
879 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
880 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000881 generate a warning. Now that only happens if there is not
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100882 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
883 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
884
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100885 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

887
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100888 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in

905
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100906 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000907 infinite loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100908 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
909
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100910 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
911 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
912 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
913 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
914
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100915 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
916 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
917 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
918
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100919 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
920 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
921 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
922
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000923 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
924 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
925 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000926
927 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.

932 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000933
934 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
935 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
936 without setting source address and interface, since this
937 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
938 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

949
950 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
951 stuff is pointless without that.
952
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100953 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and

955 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100956

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100960 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
961 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
962 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
963 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
964 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +0000965 superseded by other mechanisms.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100975 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time

977 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
978 the suggestion.

980 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
981 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000982 spotted the omission.

Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +00001019version 2.61
1020 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use

1022 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
1023 addresses.
1024
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +01001025 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
1026 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
1027 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
1028 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
1029 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.

Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +00001032 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
1033
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001034 Explicitly send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001035 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
1036 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001037 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001038 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +00001039
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001040 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
1041 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
1042 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
1043
1044 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
1045
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +00001046 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
1047 suggestion.
1048
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001049 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
1050 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
1051 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001052 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilities
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001053 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
1054 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
1055 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
1056 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
1057 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
1058 Gadgil.
1059
1060 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
1061 the above.
1062
1063 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
1064 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +00001065 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
1066 Forkel.
1067
1068 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
1069 work even if there is no interface carrying the
1070 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
1071 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
1072 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
1073 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
1074 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001075
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +00001076 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
1077 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
1078 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
1079
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001080 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
1081 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001082 preferred lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001083 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
1084 for existing connections, but new connections will use
1085 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
1086 renumbering at least possible.
1087
1088 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001089 acquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +01001098 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001099 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-existent
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +01001100 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +01001101
1102 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001103 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +01001104 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
1105 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
1106 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +01001107 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
1108

Simon Kelleyfc92ead2012-04-22 21:28:24 +01001114 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +01001115 patch.
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +01001116
1117 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
1118 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001119 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina

Simon Kelley19d69be2012-04-27 10:14:34 +01001121
1122 Fix failure of TFTP over IPv4 on OpenBSD platform. Thanks

1127 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
1128 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001129
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001130 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
1131 which is not the primary address of an interface.
1132
1133 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
1134
1135 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1136 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1137 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1138 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1139 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1140 implementation.
1141
1142 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1143 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1144 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1145 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1146 set them from the make command line.
1147
1148 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1149 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
1150
1151 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1152 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
1153
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +00001154 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
1155 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001156
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001157 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1158 containing many distinct addresses.
1159
1160 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1161 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1162 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1163 this.
1164
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001165 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1166 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
1167
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001168 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1169 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1170 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1171 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1172
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001173 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1174 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1175 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1176 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001177 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001178 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1179
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001180 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1181 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1182 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1183 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1184 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1185 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1186 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1187 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1188 These will be added as the standards mature.
1189 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1190 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1191 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001192
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001193 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1194 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1195 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1196 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1197 enabling with --enable-ra.
1198
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001199 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1200 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1201 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1202 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +00001203

1208
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001209version 2.59
1210 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1211 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1212 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1213 report.
1214
1215 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1216 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1217 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1218 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1219 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1220 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1221 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1222 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1223 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001224
1225
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001226version 2.58
1227 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1228 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1229
1230 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1231 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1232 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1233
1234 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1235 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1236 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1237 server-deployment applications need this.
1238
1239 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1240 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1241 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1242 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1243 in chasing this one down.
1244
1245 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1246 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1247 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1248 the problem.
1249
1250 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1251 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +00001252 desirable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001253 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1254 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1255 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1256
1257 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1258 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1259 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1260 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1261 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1262 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1263 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1264 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1265
1266 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1267 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1268
1269 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1270 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1271 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1272 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1273
1274 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1275 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1276
1277 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1278 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1279 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1280 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1281 Agrawal for the patch.
1282
1283 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1284 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1285 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1286 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1287 per-network values. So
1288 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1289 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1290 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1291 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1292 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1293 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1294
1295 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1296 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1297 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1298 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1299 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1300 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1301 a comprehensive test-case.
1302
1303 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1304 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001305 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001306
1307 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1308 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1309 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1310 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1311 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001318version 2.57
1319 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1320
1321 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1322 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1323 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1324 effectively empty on Android.
1325
1326 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1327 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1328 wildcard.
1329
1330 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1331 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1332 spotting this.
1333
1334 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1335 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1336 when i18n is included.
1337 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1338
1339 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1340 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1341 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1342
1343
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001344version 2.56
1345 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1346 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1347
1348 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1349 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1350 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1351 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1352
1353 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1354 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1355
1356 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1357 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1358 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1359
1360 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1361 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1362 syslogd.
1363
1364 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1365 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +00001366 Petrin for the original patch.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001367
1368 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1369 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1370 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1371
1372 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1373 option, on the command line.
1374
1375 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1376 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1377
1378 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001379 b) --keep-in-foreground is set. The logging facility on the
1380 other end of stderr can be assumed to supply them. Thanks
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001381 to John Hallam for the patch.
1382
1383 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1384 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1385 character chunks instead.
1386
1387 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1388 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1389 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1390 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1391
1392 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001393 transfer has completed successfully.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001394
1395 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1396 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1397 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1398 which automatically creates
1399 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/

Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001402 Tighten up syntax checking of hex constants in the config
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001403 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1404
1405 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1406 thanks for that.
1407
1408 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1409 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1410 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1411 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1412 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1413 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1414 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1415 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1416 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1417
1418 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1419 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1420 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1421 set.
1422
1423 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1424 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1425
1426 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1427 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1428 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1429
1430 Edit
1431 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1432 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1433 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1434
1435 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1436 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1437 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1438 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1439 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001440 override this behaviour by defining the semantics if the
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001441 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1442 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1443 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001444 of the address family which doesn't appear in --address
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001445 So:
1446 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1447 --server=/google.com/#
1448 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1449 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1450 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1451 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1452 William for pointing out the need for this.
1453
1454 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1455 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1456 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1457
1458 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1459 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1460 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1461 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1462
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001463 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1485 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1486 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1487
1488 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1489 generated by gcc 4.4.
1490
1491 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1492 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1493
1494 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1495 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1496 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1497
1498 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1499 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1500 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1501 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1502 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1503 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1504 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1505 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1506 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1507 much less confusing.
1508
1509 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1510 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1511 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1512
1513 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1514
1515 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1516
1517 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1518 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1519 finding this.
1520
1521 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1522 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1523 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1524 from the client.
1525
1526 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1527 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1528 finding this.
1529
1530 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1531 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1532 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1533 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1534 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1535 server-override option.
1536
1537 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1538 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1539 allows a single line of the form
1540 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1541 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1542 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1543 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001544 irrespective of the existence or lack of
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001545 interface=<interface>
1546 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1547 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1548 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1549 configuration.
1550
1551 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1552
1553 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1554 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1555
1556 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1557 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1558 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1559 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1560
1561 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1562 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1563 file, not the process/descriptor.
1564
1565 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1566 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1567
1568 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1569 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1570 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1571 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1572 this and testing the fix.
1573
1574 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1575 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1576 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1577
1578 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1579 upstream servers: this allows something like
1580 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1581 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1582 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1583 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1584
1585 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1586 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1587 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1588 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1589 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1590 work on this.
1591
1592 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1593 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1594 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1595 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1596 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1597 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1598 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1599
1600 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1601
1602 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1603 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1604 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1605 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1606 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1607 here.
1608
1609 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1610
1611 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1612 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1613
1614 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1615 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1616 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1617 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1618 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1619
1620 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1621 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1622
1623 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1624 is set.
1625
1626 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1627 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1628
1629 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1630
1631 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1632
1633 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1634
1635 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1636
1637 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1638 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1639 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1640
1641 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1642
1643
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001644version 2.52
1645 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1646 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1647 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1648 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1649 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1650 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1651 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1652 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1653
1654 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1655 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1656 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1657 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1658
1659 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1660 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1661 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1662 when dnsmasq is first started.
1663
1664 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1665 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1666 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1667 with certain clients.
1668
1669 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1670 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1671 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1672
1673 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1674 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1675 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1676 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1677 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1678 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1679 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1680 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1681 numbers delimited by dots.
1682
1683 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1684 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1685
1686 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1687 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1688
1689 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1690 contrib/Solaris10.
1691
1692 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1693 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1694 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1695 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1696 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1697 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1698 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1699
1700 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1701 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1702 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1703 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1704
1705 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1706 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1707 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1708
1709 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1710 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1711 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1712
1713 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1714 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1715 looks like this:
1716 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1717
1718 Add some application specific code to assist in
1719 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1720 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1721
1722 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1723 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1724 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1725 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1726
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001727 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001728 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1729
1730 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1731 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1732 this.
1733
1734 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1735 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1736 providing this.
1737
1738 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1739 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1740
1741 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1742
1743 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1744
1745 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1746
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001747 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1748 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1749 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1750 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001751
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001752
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001753version 2.51
1754 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1755 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1756 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1757 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1758 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1759 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1760 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1761 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1762 suggestion.
1763
1764 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1765 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1766 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1767 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1768 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1769 a DHCP relay, if used.
1770 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1771
1772 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1773 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1774
1775 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1776 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1777 dhcp-option-force.
1778
1779 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1780 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1781 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1782
1783 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1784 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1785 the patch.
1786
1787 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1788
1789 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1790 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1791
1792 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1793 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1794 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1795 suggestion.
1796
1797 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1798 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1799 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1800 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1801 dhcp-optsfile.
1802
1803 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1804 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1805 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1806 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1807 suggestion.
1808
1809 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1810 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1811 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1812 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1813 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1814
1815 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1816 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1817 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1818 fragmented packets.
1819
1820 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1821 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1822
1823 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001828 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1829 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001841version 2.49
1842 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1843 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1844
1845 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1846 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1847 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1848 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1849
1850 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001858 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1859 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1860 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001861
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001862 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1863 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1864 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001865
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001866 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1867 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1868 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1869 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001870
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001871 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1872 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001873
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001874 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1875 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1876 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1877 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001878
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001879 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1880 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1881 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001882
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001883 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1884 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1885 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001886
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001887 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001888
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001889 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1890 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1891 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1892 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1893 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1894 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1895 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1896 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1897 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001898
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001899 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1900 useful suggestions.
1901
1902 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1903 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1904 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1905
1906 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1907 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001908
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001909 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001910
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001911
1912version 2.47
1913 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1914
1915 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1916 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1917
1918 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1919 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001920 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overridden in CFLAGS.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001921
1922 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1923 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1924 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1925 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1926 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1927 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1928 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1929 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1930 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1931 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1932 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1933 Krafft for the bug report.
1934
1935 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1936
1937 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1938 Fix for this bug:
1939 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1940
1941 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1942 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1943 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1944 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1945
1946 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1947 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1948
1949 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1950
1951 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1952 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1953 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1954 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1955 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1956
1957 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1958 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1959
1960 No longer complain about blank lines in
1961 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1962
1963 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1964 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1965 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1966 for the bug report.
1967
1968 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1969 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1970 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1971 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1972
1973 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1974 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1975 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1976 as before.
1977 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1978 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1979 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1980
1981 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1982 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1983 Windows even when using supernetting.
1984 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1985 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1986 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1987 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1988
1989 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1990
1991 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1992 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1993 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1994 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1995 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1996 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1997 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001998
1999
2000version 2.46
2001 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
2002 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
2003 suggestion.
2004
2005 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
2006 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
2007 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
2008 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
2009 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
2010
2011 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
2012 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
2013 based in their IP address.
2014
2015 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
2016 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
2017 a domain associated with each client, and only
2018 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
2019 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
2020 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
2021 long as they are in different domains.
2022
2023 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
2024 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
2025 have now that it's variable.
2026
2027 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
2028 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
2029 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
2030 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
2031 potential.
2032
2033 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
2034 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
2035 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
2036
2037 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
2038 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
2039
2040 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
2041 which the DHCP request was received.
2042
2043 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
2044 Laine for the patch.
2045
2046 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
2047 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
2048
2049 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
2050 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
2051 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
2052 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
2053 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
2054 address to a host which has two network interfaces
2055 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
2056 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
2057 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
2058 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
2059 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
2060
2061 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
2062 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
2063 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
2064 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
2065 improvement.
2066
2067 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
2068 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
2069 suggestions on this.
2070
2071 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
2072 Fisher.
2073
2074 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2075
2076 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
2077 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
2078
2079 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
2080
2081 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
2082 up" event occurs.
2083
2084
2085version 2.45
2086 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
2087 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
2088 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
2089 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
2090
2091
2092version 2.44
2093 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
2094 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
2095 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
2096
2097 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
2098 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
2099 never been reported in the wild.
2100
2101 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
2102 Jean Wolter for finding this.
2103
2104 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
2105 is large.
2106
2107 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
2108 David Gilman.
2109
2110 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
2111
2112
2113version 2.43
2114 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2115
2116 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
2117 illegally.
2118
2119 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
2120
2121 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
2122 format.
2123
2124 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2125 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2126 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2127 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2128 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
2129
2130 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
2131 Rack for the bug report.
2132
2133 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
2134 Bergquist.
2135
2136 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
2137 option.
2138
2139 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2140 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
2141
2142 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2143 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
2144
2145 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2146 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2147 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2148 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2149 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2150 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2151 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2152 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2153 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2154 suggestions.
2155
2156 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2157 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2158 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2159
2160 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2161 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2162 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2163 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2164 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2165 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2166 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2167 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2168 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2169 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2170
2171 Replace the random number generator, for better
2172 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2173 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2174 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2175 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2176 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2177 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2178
2179 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2180 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2181 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2182 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2183 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2184
2185 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
