Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +01001version 2.67
2 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
3 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
4 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +01005
6 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
7 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
8 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
9 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
10 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
11 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
12 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
13 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +010014
15 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
16 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
17 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +010018
19 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
20 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +010021
22 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
23 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +010024
25 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
26 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
27 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
28 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
29 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
30 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
31 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
32 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010033
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +010034 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
35 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
36 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
37 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
38 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010039
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +010040 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
41 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
42
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +010043 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
44 spurious error when all seven possible items were
45 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +010046
47 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
48 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
49
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +010050 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
51 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
52
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +010053 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
54 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
55 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
56 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
57 report.
58
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +010059 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
60 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
61 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
62
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +010063 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero
Simon Kelley3953dcc2013-07-03 20:40:45 +010064 terminator. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the bug report.
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +010065
Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +010066 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
67 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
68
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +010069 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
70 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
71 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
72 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
73
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +010074 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
75 via DBus too.
76
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +010077 When the address which triggered the construction of an
78 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
79 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
80 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
81 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
82 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
83 arguing for this.
84
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +010085 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
86 for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +010087
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +010088 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
89 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
90 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
91 for suggesting this.
92
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +010093 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
94 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
95
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +010096 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
97 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
98 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
99 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
100 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
101
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100102 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
103 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100104
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100105 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
106 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
107
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100108 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
109 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
110 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
111
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100112 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
113 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
114
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100115 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
116 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
117 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
118 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
119 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100120
121 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
122 address must be either the first or last address in the
123 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
124 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100125
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100126 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
127
Tanguy Bouzelocef1d7422013-10-03 11:06:31 +0100128 Fix problem in DHCPv6 vendorclass/userclass matching
129 code. Thanks to Tanguy Bouzeloc for the patch.
130
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100131 Update Spanish transalation. Thanks to Vicente Soriano.
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100132
Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100133 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
134 inspiration on this.
135
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100136 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100137 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
138 for sponsoring this feature.
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100139
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100140 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
141 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
142
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100143 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
144 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
145 suggestion.
146
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100147 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
148 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
149 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
150 spotting the problem.
151
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100152 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
153 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.
154
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100155
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000156version 2.66
157 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
158 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
159 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
160 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
161 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
162 servers to be configured.
163
164 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
165 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
166 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
167 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
168 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
169 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
170 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
171 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000172
173 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000174 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
175 patch.
176
177 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
178 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
179 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
180 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
181 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
182 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
183 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000184
185 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
186 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
187 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000188
189 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
190 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000191 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000192 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
193 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
194 bounty for this addition.
195
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000196 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
197 information-requests with some common configurations.
198 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
199 chasing the problem.
200
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000201 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
202 patch.
203
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000204 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000205 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000206
207 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
208 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000209
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100210 Handle the situation where libc headers define
211 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
212 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
213 Felker for the bug report.
214
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100215 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100216
217 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
218 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
219 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100220
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100221 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
222
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000223
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000224version 2.65
225 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
226 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
227 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
228
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000229 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
230 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000231
232 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000233
234
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100235version 2.64
236 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
237 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
238 spotting the problem.
239
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100240 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
241 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
242 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
243 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
244 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
245 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
246
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100247 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
248 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
249
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100250 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
251 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
252
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100253 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
254 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
255
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000256 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100257 Williams for the patch.
258
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000259 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
260 Roy Marples for the patch.
261
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100262 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
263 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100264
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100265 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
266 for the patch.
267
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100268 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
269 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
270 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
271
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100272 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
273 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
274 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
275 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
276
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100277 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
278 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
279 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
280
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100281 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
282 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
283 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
284
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000285 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
286 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
287 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000288
289 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
290 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000291
292 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
293 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
294 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000295
296 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
297 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
298 without setting source address and interface, since this
299 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
300 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
301
302 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
303 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100304
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000305
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100306version 2.63
307 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
308
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100309 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
310 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
311
312 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
313 stuff is pointless without that.
314
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100315 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
316 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
317 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100318
319 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
320 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100321
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100322 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
323 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
324 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
325 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
326 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
327 superceded by other mechanisms.
328
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100329 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
330 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
331
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100332 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
333 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
334
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100335 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100336
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100337 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
338 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
339 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
340 the suggestion.
341
342 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
343 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
344 spotted the ommission.

Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100360 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
361 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
362
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100363 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
364 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
365 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
366
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100367 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
368 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
369 for spotting this.
370
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100371 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
372 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
373 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
374
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100375 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
376
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100377 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
378 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
379 his help nailing this.
380
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000381version 2.61
382 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
383 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
384 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
385 addresses.
386
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100387 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
388 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
389 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
390 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
391 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
392 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000393
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000394 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
395
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000396 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
397 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
398 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100399 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000400 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000401
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000402 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
403 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
404 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
405
406 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
407
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000408 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
409 suggestion.
410
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000411 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
412 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
413 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
414 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
415 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
416 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
417 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
418 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
419 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
420 Gadgil.
421
422 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
423 the above.
424
425 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
426 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000427 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
428 Forkel.
429
430 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
431 work even if there is no interface carrying the
432 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
433 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
434 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
435 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
436 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000437
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000438 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
439 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
440 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
441
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100442 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
443 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
444 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
445 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
446 for existing connections, but new connections will use
447 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
448 renumbering at least possible.
449
450 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100451 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100452

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100460 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it

Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100466 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
467 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
468 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100469 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

490 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100491
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000492 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
493 which is not the primary address of an interface.
494
495 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
496
497 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
498 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
499 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
500 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
501 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
502 implementation.
503
504 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
505 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
506 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
507 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
508 set them from the make command line.
509
510 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
511 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
512
513 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
514 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
515
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000516 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
517 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000518
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000519 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
520 containing many distinct addresses.
521
522 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
523 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
524 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
525 this.
526
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000527 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
528 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
529
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000530 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
531 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
532 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
533 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
534
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000535 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
536 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
537 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
538 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000539 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000540 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
541
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000542 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
543 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
544 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
545 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
546 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
547 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
548 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
549 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
550 These will be added as the standards mature.
551 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
552 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
553 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000554
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000555 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
556 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
557 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
558 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
559 enabling with --enable-ra.
560
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000561 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
562 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
563 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
564 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000565

569
570
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000571version 2.59
572 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
573 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
574 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
575 report.
576
577 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
578 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
579 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
580 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
581 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
582 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
583 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
584 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
585 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100586
587
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100588version 2.58
589 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
590 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
591
592 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
593 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
594 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
595
596 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
597 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
598 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
599 server-deployment applications need this.
600
601 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
602 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
603 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
604 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
605 in chasing this one down.
606
607 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
608 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
609 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
610 the problem.
611
612 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
613 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
614 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
615 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
616 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
617 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
618
619 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
620 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
621 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
622 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
623 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
624 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
625 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
626 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
627
628 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
629 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
630
631 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
632 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
633 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
634 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
635
636 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
637 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
638
639 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
640 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
641 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
642 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
643 Agrawal for the patch.
644
645 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
646 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
647 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
648 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
649 per-network values. So
650 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
651 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
652 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
653 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
654 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
655 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
656
657 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
658 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
659 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
660 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
661 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
662 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
663 a comprehensive test-case.
664
665 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
666 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100667 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100668
669 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
670 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
671 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
672 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
673 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

679
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000680version 2.57
681 Add patches to allow build under Android.
682
683 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
684 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
685 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
686 effectively empty on Android.
687
688 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
689 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
690 wildcard.
691
692 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
693 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
694 spotting this.
695
696 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
697 IDN support continues to be included automatically
698 when i18n is included.
699 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
700
701 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
702 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
703 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
704
705
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000706version 2.56
707 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
708 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
709
710 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
711 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
712 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
713 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
714
715 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
716 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
717
718 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
719 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
720 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
721
722 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
723 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
724 syslogd.
725
726 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
727 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
728 Petrin for the orignal patch.
729
730 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
731 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
732 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
733
734 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
735 option, on the command line.
736
737 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
738 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
739
740 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
741 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
742 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
743 to John Hallam for the patch.
744
745 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
746 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
747 character chunks instead.
748
749 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
750 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
751 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
752 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
753
754 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
755 transfer has completed succesfully.
756
757 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
758 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
759 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
760 which automatically creates
761 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
762 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
763
764 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
765 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
766
767 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
768 thanks for that.
769
770 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
771 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
772 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
773 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
774 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
775 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
776 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
777 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
778 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
779
780 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
781 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
782 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
783 set.
784
785 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
786 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
787
788 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
789 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
790 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
791
792 Edit
793 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
794 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
795 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
796
797 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
798 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
799 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
800 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
801 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
802 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
803 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
804 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
805 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
806 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
807 So:
808 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
809 --server=/google.com/#
810 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
811 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
812 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
813 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
814 William for pointing out the need for this.
815
816 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
817 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
818 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
819
820 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
821 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
822 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
823 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

847 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
848 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
849
850 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
851 generated by gcc 4.4.
852
853 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
854 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
855
856 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
857 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
858 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
859
860 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
861 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
862 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
863 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
864 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
865 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
866 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
867 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
868 the documentation and new-style config files should be
869 much less confusing.
870
871 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
872 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
873 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
874
875 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
876
877 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
878
879 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
880 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
881 finding this.
882
883 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
884 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
885 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
886 from the client.
887
888 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
889 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
890 finding this.
891
892 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
893 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
894 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
895 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
896 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
897 server-override option.
898
899 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
900 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
901 allows a single line of the form
902 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
903 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
904 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
905 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
906 irrespective of the existance or lack of
907 interface=<interface>
908 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
909 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
910 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
911 configuration.
912
913 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
914
915 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
916 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
917
918 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
919 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
920 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
921 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
922
923 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
924 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
925 file, not the process/descriptor.
926
927 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
928 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
929
930 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
931 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
932 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
933 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
934 this and testing the fix.
935
936 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
937 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
938 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
939
940 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
941 upstream servers: this allows something like
942 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
943 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
944 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
945 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
946
947 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
948 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
949 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
950 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
951 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
952 work on this.
953
954 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
955 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
956 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
957 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
958 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
959 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
960 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
961
962 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
963
964 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
965 than one server available for a domain, eg.
966 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
967 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
968 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
969 here.
970
971 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
972
973 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
974 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
975
976 Fix regression which caused configuration like
977 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
978 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
979 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
980 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
981
982 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
983 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
984
985 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
986 is set.
987
988 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
989 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
990

1000 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1001 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1002
1003 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1005
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001006version 2.52
1007 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1008 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1009 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1010 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1011 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1012 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1013 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1014 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1015
1016 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1017 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1018 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1019 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1020
1021 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1022 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1023 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1024 when dnsmasq is first started.
1025
1026 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1027 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1028 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1029 with certain clients.
1030
1031 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1032 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1033 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1034
1035 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1036 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1037 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1038 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1039 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1040 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1041 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1042 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1043 numbers delimited by dots.
1044
1045 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1046 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1047
1048 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1049 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1050
1051 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1052 contrib/Solaris10.
1053
1054 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1055 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1056 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1057 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1058 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1059 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1060 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1061
1062 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1063 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1064 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1065 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1066
1067 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1068 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1069 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1070
1071 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1072 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1073 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1074
1075 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1076 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1077 looks like this:
1078 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1079
1080 Add some application specific code to assist in
1081 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1082 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1083
1084 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1085 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1086 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1087 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1088
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001089 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001090 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1091
1092 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1093 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1094 this.
1095
1096 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1097 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1098 providing this.
1099
1100 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001109 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1110 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1111 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1112 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001113
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001114
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001115version 2.51
1116 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1117 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1118 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1119 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1120 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1121 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1122 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1123 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1124 suggestion.
1125
1126 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1127 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1128 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1129 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1130 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1131 a DHCP relay, if used.
1132 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1133
1134 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1135 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1136
1137 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1138 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1139 dhcp-option-force.
1140
1141 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1142 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1143 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1144
1145 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1146 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1147 the patch.
1148
1149 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1150
1151 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1152 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1153
1154 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1155 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1156 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1157 suggestion.
1158
1159 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1160 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1161 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1162 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1163 dhcp-optsfile.
1164
1165 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1166 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1167 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1168 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1169 suggestion.
1170
1171 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1172 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1173 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1174 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1175 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1176
1177 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1178 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1179 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1180 fragmented packets.
1181
1182 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1183 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1184

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001190 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1191 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security

1204 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1205 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1206
1207 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1208 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1209 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1210 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1211
1212 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1230 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1231 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001232
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001233 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1234 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001235
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001236 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1237 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1238 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1239 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001240
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001241 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1242 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1243 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001244
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001245 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1246 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1247 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001248
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001249 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001250
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001251 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1252 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1253 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1254 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1255 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1256 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1257 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1258 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1259 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001260
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001261 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1262 useful suggestions.
1263
1264 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1265 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1266 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1267
1268 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1269 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001270
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001271 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001273
1274version 2.47
1275 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1276
1277 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1278 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1279
1280 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1281 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1282 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1283
1284 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1285 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1286 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1287 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1288 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1289 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1290 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1291 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1292 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1293 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1294 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1295 Krafft for the bug report.
1296
1297 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1298
1299 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1300 Fix for this bug:
1301 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1302
1303 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1304 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1305 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1306 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1307
1308 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1309 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1310
1311 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1312
1313 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1314 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1315 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1316 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1317 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1318
1319 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1320 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1321
1322 No longer complain about blank lines in
1323 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1324
1325 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1326 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1327 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1328 for the bug report.
1329
1330 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1331 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1332 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1333 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1334
1335 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1336 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1337 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1338 as before.
1339 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1340 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1341 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1342
1343 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1344 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1345 Windows even when using supernetting.
1346 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1347 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1348 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1349 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1350
1351 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1352
1353 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1354 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1355 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1356 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1357 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1358 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1359 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001360
1361
1362version 2.46
1363 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1364 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1365 suggestion.
1366
1367 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1368 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1369 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1370 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1371 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1372
1373 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1374 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1375 based in their IP address.
1376
1377 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1378 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1379 a domain associated with each client, and only
1380 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1381 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1382 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1383 long as they are in different domains.
1384
1385 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1386 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1387 have now that it's variable.
1388
1389 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1390 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1391 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1392 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1393 potential.
1394
1395 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1396 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1397 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1398
1399 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1400 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1401
1402 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1403 which the DHCP request was received.
1404
1405 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1406 Laine for the patch.
1407
1408 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1409 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1410
1411 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1412 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1413 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1414 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1415 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1416 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1417 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1418 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1419 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1420 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1421 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1422
1423 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1424 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1425 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1426 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1427 improvement.
1428
1429 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1430 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1431 suggestions on this.
1432
1433 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1434 Fisher.
1435
1436 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1437
1438 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1439 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1440
1441 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1442
1443 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1444 up" event occurs.
1445
1446
1447version 2.45
1448 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1449 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1450 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1451 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1452
1453
1454version 2.44
1455 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1456 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1457 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1458
1459 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1460 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1461 never been reported in the wild.
1462
1463 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1464 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1465
1466 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1467 is large.
1468
1469 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1470 David Gilman.
1471
1472 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1473
1474
1475version 2.43
1476 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1477
1478 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1479 illegally.
1480
1481 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1482
1483 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1484 format.
1485
1486 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1487 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1488 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1489 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1490 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1491
1492 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1493 Rack for the bug report.
1494
1495 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1496 Bergquist.
1497
1498 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1499 option.
1500
1501 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1502 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1503
1504 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1505 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1506
1507 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1508 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1509 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1510 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1511 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1512 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1513 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1514 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1515 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1516 suggestions.
1517
1518 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1519 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1520 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1521
1522 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1523 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1524 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1525 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1526 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1527 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1528 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1529 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1530 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1531 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1532
1533 Replace the random number generator, for better
1534 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1535 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1536 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1537 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1538 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1539 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1540
1541 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1542 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1543 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1544 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1545 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1546
1547 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
