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
Simon Kelley43cdf1c2017-05-21 22:12:44 +0100118 Remove historic automatic inclusion of IDN support when
119 building internationalisation support. This doesn't
120 fit now there is a choice of IDN libraries. Be sure
121 to include either -DHAVE_IDN or _DHAVE_LIBIDN2 for
122 IDN support.
Vladislav Grishenko6ec5f5c2017-04-24 22:34:45 +0100123
Simon Kelley43cdf1c2017-05-21 22:12:44 +0100124
Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +0100125version 2.76
126 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
127 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
128 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
129 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
130 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Floris Bos503c6092017-04-09 23:07:13 +0100131
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +0100132 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
133 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +0100134
135 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
136 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
137 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
138 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
139
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +0000140 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
141 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
142 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
143 the patch.
144
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +0000145 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
146 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
147 for the patch.
148
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +0000149 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
150 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
151 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
152 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
153 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
154
155 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
156 not SERVFAIL.
157
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +0000158 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
159 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000160
161 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
162 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000163 removal of entries in the ARP or neighbour tables.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000164
165 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000166 as base64, by configuring --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000167
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000168 Add --add-cpe-id option.
169
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000170 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
171 is declared as a whole /64.
172 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
173 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
174
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +0000175 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
176 --cname.
177
178 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000179
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000180 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
181 initial patch.
182
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +0100183 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
184 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
185 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
186 for spotting this.
187
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +0100188 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
189 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
190 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
191
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +0100192 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
193 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
194
195 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
196 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
197
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100198 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
199 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
200 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +0100201 in src/config.h.
202
203 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
204 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
205 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
206 will need to update your config.
207
208 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
209 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100210
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100211 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
212 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
213 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000214 work with these architectures.
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100215
216 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
217 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
218 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
219 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
220 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
221 single-item boot menu.
222
223 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
224 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
225
Simon Kelleyda2cad42016-05-18 15:14:08 +0100226 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
227 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
228 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
229 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
230 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
231 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
232 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
233 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
234 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
235 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
236 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
237 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
238 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
239 have a config with a basename which already has a
240 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
241 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
242 name.suffix
243
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000244
Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +0100245version 2.75
246 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
247 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
248 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
249
250
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +0100251version 2.74
252 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
253 read the default file, rather than no file.
254
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100255 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
256 not SEGV in some circumstances.
257
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100258 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
259 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
260 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
261
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100262
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100263version 2.73
264 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
265 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
266 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000267
268 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
269 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
270 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
271
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000272 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
273 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000274 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
275 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
276 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000277
278 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
279 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
280 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000281
282 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
283 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
284 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
285 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000286
287 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
288 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000289
290 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
291 queries which include the specified address. No error is
292 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
293 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
294 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
295 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
296 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000297
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000298 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
299 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
300 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
301 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
302 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
303 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
304 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
305 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100306
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000307 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
308 to search automatically.
309
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000310 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
311 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
312 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
313 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
314 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000315 floor of one hour. Thanks to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000316
317 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
318 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
319 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000320
321 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
322 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
323 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
324 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000325
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000326 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
327 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
328 for the patch.
329
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000330 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000331
332 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100333 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
334 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
335 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
336 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100337
338 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
339 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100340
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100341 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
342 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
343 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
344 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
345 sterling work chasing this down.
346
347 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
348 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100349 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
350 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
351 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100352
353 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
354 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
355 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
356 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
357 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
358 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
359 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
360 for the bugreport and initial patch.

Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100423 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
424 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
425 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
426 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
427 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.

490
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000491 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
492 compiled with this enabled, with
493
494 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
495
496 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
497 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
498 statically with
499
500 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
501
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100502 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
503 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
504
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000505 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
506 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
507 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
508 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
509 distribution. You should of course check that these are
510 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
511
512 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
513 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000514
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +0000515 to your config is all that's needed to get things
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000516 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
517 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
518 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
519 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
520 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
521 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
522 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
523 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
524 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
525 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
526 records, which significantly improve the performance of
527 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
528 DNSSEC in action.
529
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100530 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
531 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
532 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
533 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
534 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
535 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
536 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
537 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
538 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
539 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
540 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
541 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
542 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
543 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
544 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
545 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
546
547 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
548 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
549 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
550 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
551 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
552 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
553 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
554 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
555 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
556 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
557 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
558 henceforward will be complete.
559
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000560 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
561 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
562 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
563 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
564 a workable state.

Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000571 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
572 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
573 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000574 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000575 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
576 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
577 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
578 being used for DNS amplification attacks.

598 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq

Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000613 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
614 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
615 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000616 constructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000617 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
618 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
619 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
620 IPv6 addresses of eth0.

650 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
651 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
652 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
653 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
654 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
655 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
656 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
657 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

669 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
670 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
671 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
672 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
673 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
674 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
675 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
676 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100713 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
714 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
715 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
716 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
717
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100718 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
719 via DBus too.

Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100721 When the address which triggered the construction of an
722 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
723 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
724 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
725 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
726 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
727 arguing for this.
728
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100729 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith

Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100732 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
733 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
734 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
735 for suggesting this.
736
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100737 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
738 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.

Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100740 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
741 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
742 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
743 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
744 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
745

Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100756 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
757 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
758
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100759 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
760 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
761 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
762 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
763 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100764
765 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
766 address must be either the first or last address in the
767 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
768 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.

789 suggestion.
790
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100791 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000792 as eligible for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100793 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
794 spotting the problem.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000800version 2.66
801 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
802 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
803 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
804 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
805 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
806 servers to be configured.
807
808 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
809 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
810 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
811 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
812 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
813 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
814 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
815 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000816
817 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000818 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
819 patch.
820
821 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
822 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
823 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
824 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
825 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
826 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
827 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000828
829 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
830 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
831 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000832
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000833 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBSCRIBER_ID,
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000834 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000835 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000836 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
837 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
838 bounty for this addition.
839
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000840 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
841 information-requests with some common configurations.
842 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
843 chasing the problem.
844
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000845 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the

Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000848 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000849 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.

Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100854 Handle the situation where libc headers define
855 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
856 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
857 Felker for the bug report.

882 spotting the problem.
883
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100884 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
885 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
886 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000887 generate a warning. Now that only happens if there is not
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100888 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
889 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
890
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100891 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

915
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100916 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
917 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
918 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
919 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
920
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100921 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
922 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to

924
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100925 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6

928
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000929 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM

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

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100966 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
967 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
968 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
969 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
970 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been

1028 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
1029 addresses.
1030
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +01001031 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
1032 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
1033 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
1034 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
1035 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
1036 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +00001038 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.

Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001040 Explicitly send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001041 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
1042 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets

Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001046 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
1047 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
1048 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
1049
1050 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
1051
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +00001052 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
1053 suggestion.
1054
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001055 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
1056 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
1057 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001058 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilities
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001059 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
1060 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
1061 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
1062 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
1063 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
1064 Gadgil.
1065
1066 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
1067 the above.
1068
1069 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
1070 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +00001071 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
1072 Forkel.
1073
1074 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
1075 work even if there is no interface carrying the
1076 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
1077 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
1078 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
1079 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
1080 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001081
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +00001082 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
1083 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
1084 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
1085
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001086 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
1087 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001088 preferred lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001089 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
1090 for existing connections, but new connections will use
1091 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
1092 renumbering at least possible.
1093
1094 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001095 acquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +01001104 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001105 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-existent

1108 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001109 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +01001110 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
1111 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
1112 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +01001113 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +01001122
1123 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
1124 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the

1134 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001135
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001136 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
1137 which is not the primary address of an interface.
1138
1139 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
1140
1141 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1142 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1143 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1144 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1145 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1146 implementation.
1147
1148 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1149 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1150 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1151 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1152 set them from the make command line.
1153
1154 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1155 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
1156
1157 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1158 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
1159
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +00001160 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
1161 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001162
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001163 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1164 containing many distinct addresses.
1165
1166 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1167 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1168 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1169 this.
1170
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001171 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1172 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
1173
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001174 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1175 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1176 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1177 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1178
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001179 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1180 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1181 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1182 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001183 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001184 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1185
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001186 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1187 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1188 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1189 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1190 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1191 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1192 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1193 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1194 These will be added as the standards mature.
1195 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1196 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1197 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001198
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001199 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1200 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1201 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1202 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1203 enabling with --enable-ra.
1204
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001205 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1206 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1207 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1208 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001215version 2.59
1216 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1217 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1218 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1219 report.
1220
1221 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1222 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1223 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1224 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1225 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1226 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1227 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1228 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1229 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001230
1231
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001232version 2.58
1233 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1234 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1235
1236 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1237 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1238 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1239
1240 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1241 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1242 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1243 server-deployment applications need this.
1244
1245 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1246 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1247 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1248 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1249 in chasing this one down.
1250
1251 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1252 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1253 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1254 the problem.
1255
1256 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1257 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +00001258 desirable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001259 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1260 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1261 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1262
1263 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1264 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1265 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1266 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1267 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1268 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1269 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1270 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1271
1272 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1273 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1274
1275 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1276 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1277 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1278 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1279
1280 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1281 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1282
1283 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1284 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1285 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1286 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1287 Agrawal for the patch.
1288
1289 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1290 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1291 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1292 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1293 per-network values. So
1294 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1295 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1296 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1297 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1298 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1299 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1300
1301 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1302 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1303 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1304 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1305 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1306 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1307 a comprehensive test-case.
1308
1309 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1310 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001311 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001312
1313 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1314 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1315 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1316 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001324version 2.57
1325 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1326
1327 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1328 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1329 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1330 effectively empty on Android.
1331
1332 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1333 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1334 wildcard.
1335
1336 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1337 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1338 spotting this.
1339
1340 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1341 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1342 when i18n is included.
1343 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1344
1345 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1346 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1347 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.

1349
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001350version 2.56
1351 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1352 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1353
1354 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1355 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1356 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1357 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1358
1359 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1360 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1361
1362 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1363 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1364 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1365
1366 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1367 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1368 syslogd.
1369
1370 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1371 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +00001372 Petrin for the original patch.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001373
1374 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1375 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1376 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1377
1378 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1379 option, on the command line.
1380
1381 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1382 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1383
1384 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001385 b) --keep-in-foreground is set. The logging facility on the
1386 other end of stderr can be assumed to supply them. Thanks
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001387 to John Hallam for the patch.
1388
1389 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1390 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1391 character chunks instead.
1392
1393 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1394 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1395 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1396 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1397
1398 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001399 transfer has completed successfully.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001400
1401 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1402 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1403 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local

Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001408 Tighten up syntax checking of hex constants in the config
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001409 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1410
1411 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1412 thanks for that.
1413
1414 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1415 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1416 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1417 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1418 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1419 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1420 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1421 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1422 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1423
1424 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1425 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1426 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1427 set.
1428
1429 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1430 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1431
1432 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1433 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1434 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1435
1436 Edit
1437 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1438 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1439 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1440
1441 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1442 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1443 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1444 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1445 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001446 override this behaviour by defining the semantics if the
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001447 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1448 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1449 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001450 of the address family which doesn't appear in --address
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001451 So:
1452 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1453 --server=/google.com/#
1454 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1455 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1456 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1457 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1458 William for pointing out the need for this.
1459
1460 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1461 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1462 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1463
1464 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1465 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1466 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1467 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1468
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001469 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
1470 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001490version 2.53
1491 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1492 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1493
1494 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1495 generated by gcc 4.4.
1496
1497 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1498 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1499
1500 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1501 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1502 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1503
1504 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1505 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1506 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1507 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1508 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1509 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1510 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1511 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1512 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1513 much less confusing.
1514
1515 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1516 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1517 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1518
1519 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1520
1521 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1522
1523 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1524 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1525 finding this.
1526
1527 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1528 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1529 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1530 from the client.
1531
1532 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1533 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1534 finding this.
1535
1536 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1537 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1538 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1539 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1540 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1541 server-override option.
1542
1543 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1544 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1545 allows a single line of the form
1546 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1547 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1548 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1549 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001550 irrespective of the existence or lack of
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001551 interface=<interface>
1552 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1553 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1554 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1555 configuration.
1556
1557 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1558
1559 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1560 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1561
1562 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1563 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1564 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1565 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1566
1567 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1568 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1569 file, not the process/descriptor.
1570
1571 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1572 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1573
1574 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1575 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1576 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1577 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1578 this and testing the fix.
1579
1580 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1581 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1582 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1583
1584 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1585 upstream servers: this allows something like
1586 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1587 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1588 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1589 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1590
1591 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1592 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1593 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1594 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1595 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1596 work on this.
1597
1598 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1599 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1600 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1601 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1602 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1603 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1604 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1605
1606 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1607
1608 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1609 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1610 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1611 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1612 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1613 here.
1614
1615 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1616
1617 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1618 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1619
1620 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1621 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1622 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1623 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1624 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1625
1626 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1627 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1628
1629 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1630 is set.
1631
1632 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1633 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1634
1635 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1636
1637 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1638
1639 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1640
1641 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1642
1643 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1644 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1645 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1646
1647 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1648
1649
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001650version 2.52
1651 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1652 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1653 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1654 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1655 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1656 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1657 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1658 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1659
1660 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1661 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1662 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1663 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1664
1665 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1666 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1667 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1668 when dnsmasq is first started.
1669
1670 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1671 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1672 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1673 with certain clients.
1674
1675 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1676 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1677 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1678
1679 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1680 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1681 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1682 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1683 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1684 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1685 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1686 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1687 numbers delimited by dots.
1688
1689 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1690 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1691
1692 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1693 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1694
1695 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1696 contrib/Solaris10.
1697
1698 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1699 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1700 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1701 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1702 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1703 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1704 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1705
1706 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1707 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1708 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1709 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1710
1711 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1712 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1713 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1714
1715 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1716 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1717 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1718
1719 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1720 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1721 looks like this:
1722 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1723
1724 Add some application specific code to assist in
1725 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1726 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1727
1728 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1729 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1730 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1731 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1732
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001733 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001734 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1735
1736 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1737 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1738 this.
1739
1740 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1741 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1742 providing this.
1743
1744 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1745 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1746
1747 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1748
1749 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1750
1751 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1752
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001753 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1754 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1755 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1756 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001757
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001758
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001759version 2.51
1760 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1761 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1762 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1763 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1764 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1765 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1766 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1767 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1768 suggestion.
1769
1770 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1771 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1772 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1773 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1774 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1775 a DHCP relay, if used.
1776 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1777
1778 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1779 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1780
1781 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1782 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1783 dhcp-option-force.
1784
1785 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1786 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1787 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1788
1789 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1790 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1791 the patch.
1792
1793 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1794
1795 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1796 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1797
1798 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1799 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1800 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1801 suggestion.
1802
1803 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1804 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1805 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1806 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1807 dhcp-optsfile.
1808
1809 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1810 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1811 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1812 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1813 suggestion.
1814
1815 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1816 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1817 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1818 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1819 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1820
1821 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1822 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1823 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1824 fragmented packets.
1825
1826 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1827 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1828
1829 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001833 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001834 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1835 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1836 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1837 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1838 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1839 and CVE: 2009-2957
1840
1841 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1842 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1843 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1844 CVE: 2009-2958

1846
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001847version 2.49
1848 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1849 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1850
1851 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1852 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1853 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1854 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1855
1856 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001859version 2.48
1860 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1861 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1862 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001863
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001864 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1865 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1866 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001867
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001868 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1869 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1870 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001871
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001872 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1873 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1874 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1875 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001876
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001877 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1878 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001879
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001880 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1881 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1882 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1883 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001884
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001885 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1886 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1887 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001888
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001889 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1890 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1891 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001892
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001893 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001894
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001895 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1896 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1897 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1898 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1899 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1900 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1901 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1902 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1903 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001904
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001905 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1906 useful suggestions.
1907
1908 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1909 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1910 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1911
1912 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1913 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001914
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001915 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001916
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001917
1918version 2.47
1919 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1920
1921 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1922 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1923
1924 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1925 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001926 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overridden in CFLAGS.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001927
1928 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1929 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1930 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1931 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1932 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1933 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1934 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1935 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1936 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1937 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1938 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1939 Krafft for the bug report.
1940
1941 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1942
1943 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1944 Fix for this bug:
1945 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1946
1947 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1948 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1949 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1950 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1951
1952 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1953 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1954
1955 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1956
1957 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1958 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1959 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1960 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1961 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1962
1963 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1964 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1965
1966 No longer complain about blank lines in
1967 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1968
1969 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1970 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1971 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1972 for the bug report.
1973
1974 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1975 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1976 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1977 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1978
1979 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1980 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1981 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1982 as before.
1983 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1984 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1985 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1986
1987 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1988 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1989 Windows even when using supernetting.
1990 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1991 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1992 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1993 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1994
1995 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1996
1997 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1998 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1999 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
2000 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
2001 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
2002 directory owned and write-able by the user running
2003 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002004
2005
2006version 2.46
2007 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
2008 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
2009 suggestion.
2010
2011 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
2012 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
2013 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
2014 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
2015 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
2016
2017 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
2018 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
2019 based in their IP address.
2020
2021 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
2022 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
2023 a domain associated with each client, and only
2024 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
2025 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
2026 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
2027 long as they are in different domains.
2028
2029 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
2030 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
2031 have now that it's variable.
2032
2033 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
2034 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
2035 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
2036 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
2037 potential.
2038
2039 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
2040 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
2041 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
2042
2043 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
2044 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
2045
2046 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
2047 which the DHCP request was received.
2048
2049 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
2050 Laine for the patch.
2051
2052 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
2053 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
2054
2055 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
2056 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
2057 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
2058 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
2059 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
2060 address to a host which has two network interfaces
2061 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
2062 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
2063 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
2064 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
2065 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
2066
2067 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
2068 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
2069 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
2070 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
2071 improvement.
2072
2073 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
2074 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
2075 suggestions on this.
2076
2077 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
2078 Fisher.
2079
2080 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2081
2082 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
2083 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
2084
2085 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
2086
2087 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
2088 up" event occurs.
2089
2090
2091version 2.45
2092 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
2093 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
2094 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
2095 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
2096
2097
2098version 2.44
2099 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
2100 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
2101 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
2102
2103 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
2104 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
2105 never been reported in the wild.
2106
2107 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
2108 Jean Wolter for finding this.
2109
2110 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
2111 is large.
2112
2113 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
2114 David Gilman.
2115
2116 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
2117
2118
2119version 2.43
2120 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2121
2122 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
2123 illegally.
2124
2125 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
2126
2127 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
2128 format.
2129
2130 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2131 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2132 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2133 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2134 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
2135
2136 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
2137 Rack for the bug report.
2138
2139 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
2140 Bergquist.
2141
2142 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
2143 option.
2144
2145 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2146 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
2147
2148 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2149 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
2150
2151 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2152 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2153 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2154 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2155 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2156 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2157 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2158 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2159 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2160 suggestions.
2161
2162 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2163 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2164 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2165
2166 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2167 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2168 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2169 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2170 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2171 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2172 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2173 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2174 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2175 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2176
2177 Replace the random number generator, for better
2178 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2179 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2180 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2181 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2182 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2183 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2184
2185 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2186 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2187 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2188 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2189 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2190
2191 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
