Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001version 2.60
2 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
3 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01004
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00005 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
6 which is not the primary address of an interface.
7
8 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
9
10 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
11 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
12 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
13 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
14 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
15 implementation.
16
17 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
18 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
19 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
20 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
21 set them from the make command line.
22
23 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
24 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
25
26 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
27 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
28
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +000029 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
30 release tags or hash values.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +000033version 2.59
34 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
35 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
36 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
37 report.
38
39 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
40 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
41 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
42 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
43 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
44 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
45 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
46 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
47 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

49
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +010050version 2.58
51 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
52 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
53
54 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
55 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
56 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
57
58 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
59 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
60 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
61 server-deployment applications need this.
62
63 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
64 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
65 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
66 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
67 in chasing this one down.
68
69 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
70 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
71 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
72 the problem.
73
74 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
75 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
76 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
77 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
78 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
79 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
80
81 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
82 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
83 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
84 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
85 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
86 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
87 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
88 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
89
90 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
91 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
92
93 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
94 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
95 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
96 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
97
98 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
99 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
100
101 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
102 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
103 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
104 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
105 Agrawal for the patch.
106
107 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
108 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
109 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
110 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
111 per-network values. So
112 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
113 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
114 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
115 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
116 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
117 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
118
119 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
120 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
121 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
122 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
123 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
124 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
125 a comprehensive test-case.
126
127 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
128 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
129 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
130
131 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
132 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
133 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
134 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
135 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
136
137 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
138
139 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
140
141
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000142version 2.57
143 Add patches to allow build under Android.
144
145 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
146 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
147 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
148 effectively empty on Android.
149
150 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
151 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
152 wildcard.
153
154 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
155 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
156 spotting this.
157
158 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
159 IDN support continues to be included automatically
160 when i18n is included.
161 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
162
163 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
164 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
165 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
166
167
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000168version 2.56
169 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
170 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
171
172 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
173 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
174 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
175 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
176
177 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
178 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
179
180 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
181 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
182 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
183
184 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
185 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
186 syslogd.
187
188 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
189 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
190 Petrin for the orignal patch.
191
192 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
193 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
194 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
195
196 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
197 option, on the command line.
198
199 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
200 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
201
202 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
203 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
204 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
205 to John Hallam for the patch.
206
207 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
208 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
209 character chunks instead.
210
211 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
212 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
213 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
214 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
215
216 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
217 transfer has completed succesfully.
218
219 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
220 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
221 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
222 which automatically creates
223 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
224 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
225
226 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
227 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
228
229 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
230 thanks for that.
231
232 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
233 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
234 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
235 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
236 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
237 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
238 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
239 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
240 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
241
242 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
243 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
244 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
245 set.
246
247 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
248 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
249
250 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
251 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
252 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
253
254 Edit
255 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
256 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
257 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
258
259 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
260 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
261 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
262 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
263 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
264 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
265 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
266 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
267 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
268 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
269 So:
270 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
271 --server=/google.com/#
272 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
273 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
274 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
275 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
276 William for pointing out the need for this.
277
278 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
279 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
280 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
281
282 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
283 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
284 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
285 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
286
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000287 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
288 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks
289 to Fedor Kozhevnikov for spotting this.

Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100292version 2.55
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000293 Fix crash when /etc/ethers is in use. Thanks to
294 Gianluigi Tiesi for finding this.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100295
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000296 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
297 finding this one.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100298
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000299 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)
300 options.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100301
302
303version 2.54
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000304 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
305 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100306
307
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100308version 2.53
309 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
310 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
311
312 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
313 generated by gcc 4.4.
314
315 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
316 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
317
318 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
319 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
320 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
321
322 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
323 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
324 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
325 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
326 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
327 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
328 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
329 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
330 the documentation and new-style config files should be
331 much less confusing.
332
333 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
334 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
335 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
336
337 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
338
339 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
340
341 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
342 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
343 finding this.
344
345 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
346 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
347 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
348 from the client.
349
350 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
351 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
352 finding this.
353
354 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
355 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
356 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
357 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
358 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
359 server-override option.
360
361 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
362 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
363 allows a single line of the form
364 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
365 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
366 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
367 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
368 irrespective of the existance or lack of
369 interface=<interface>
370 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
371 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
372 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
373 configuration.
374
375 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
376
377 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
378 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
379
380 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
381 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
382 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
383 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
384
385 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
386 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
387 file, not the process/descriptor.
388
389 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
390 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
391
392 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
393 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
394 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
395 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
396 this and testing the fix.
397
398 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
399 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
400 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
401
402 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
403 upstream servers: this allows something like
404 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
405 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
406 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
407 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
408
409 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
410 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
411 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
412 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
413 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
414 work on this.
415
416 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
417 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
418 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
419 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
420 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
421 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
422 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
423
424 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
425
426 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
427 than one server available for a domain, eg.
428 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
429 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
430 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
431 here.
432
433 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
434
435 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
436 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
437
438 Fix regression which caused configuration like
439 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
440 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
441 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
442 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
443
444 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
445 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
446
447 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
448 is set.
449
450 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
451 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
452
453 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
454
455 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
456
457 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
458
459 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
460
461 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
462 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
463 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
464
465 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
466
467
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000468version 2.52
469 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
470 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
471 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
472 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
473 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
474 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
475 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
476 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
477
478 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
479 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
480 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
481 necessary for some *WRT distros.
482
483 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
484 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
485 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
486 when dnsmasq is first started.
487
488 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
489 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
490 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
491 with certain clients.
492
493 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
494 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
495 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
496
497 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
498 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
499 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
500 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
501 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
502 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
503 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
504 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
505 numbers delimited by dots.
506
507 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
508 to Joel Macklow for help with this.

510 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
511 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
512
513 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
514 contrib/Solaris10.
515
516 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
517 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
518 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
519 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
520 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
521 addresses available in such an installation removes a
522 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
523
524 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
525 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
526 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
527 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
528
529 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
530 the lease-change script in the environment variable
531 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
532
533 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
534 Options". The syntax looks like this:
535 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
536
537 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
538 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
539 looks like this:
540 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
541
542 Add some application specific code to assist in
543 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
544 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
545
546 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
547 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
548 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
549 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
550
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100551 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000552 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
553
554 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
555 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
556 this.
557
558 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
559 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
560 providing this.
561
562 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
563 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
564
565 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
566
567 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
568
569 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
570
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100571 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
572 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
573 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
574 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000575
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100576
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100577version 2.51
578 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
579 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
580 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
581 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
582 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
583 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
584 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
585 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
586 suggestion.
587
588 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
589 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
590 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
591 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
592 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
593 a DHCP relay, if used.
594 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
595
596 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
597 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
598
599 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
600 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
601 dhcp-option-force.
602
603 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
604 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
605 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
606
607 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
608 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
609 the patch.
610
611 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
612
613 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
614 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
615
616 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
617 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
618 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
619 suggestion.
620
621 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
622 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
623 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
624 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
625 dhcp-optsfile.
626
627 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
628 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
629 is retried. This should improve performance when there
630 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
631 suggestion.
632
633 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
634 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
635 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
636 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
637 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
638
639 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
640 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
641 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
642 fragmented packets.
643
644 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
645 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
646
647 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100651 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +0100652 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
653 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
654 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
655 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
656 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
657 and CVE: 2009-2957
658
659 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
660 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
661 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
662 CVE: 2009-2958
663
664
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +0100665version 2.49
666 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
667 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
668
669 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
670 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
671 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
672 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
673
674 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100677version 2.48
678 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
679 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
680 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000681
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100682 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
683 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
684 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000685
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100686 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
687 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
688 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000689
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100690 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
691 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
692 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
693 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000694
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100695 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
696 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000697
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100698 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
699 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
700 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
701 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000702
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100703 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
704 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
705 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000706
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100707 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
708 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
709 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000710
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100711 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000712
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100713 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
714 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
715 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
716 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
717 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
718 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
719 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
720 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
721 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000722
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100723 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
724 useful suggestions.
725
726 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
727 this, edit src/config.h or build with
728 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
729
730 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
731 configuration files only.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +0000735
736version 2.47
737 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
738
739 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
740 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
741
742 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
743 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
744 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
745
746 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
747 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
748 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
749 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
750 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
751 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
752 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
753 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
754 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
755 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
756 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
757 Krafft for the bug report.
758
759 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
760
761 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
762 Fix for this bug:
763 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
764
765 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
766 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
767 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
768 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
769
770 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
771 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
772
773 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
774
775 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
776 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
777 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
778 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
779 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
780
781 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
782 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
783
784 No longer complain about blank lines in
785 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
786
787 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
788 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
789 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
790 for the bug report.
791
792 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
793 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
794 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
795 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
796
797 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
798 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
799 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
800 as before.
801 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
802 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
803 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
804
805 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
806 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
807 Windows even when using supernetting.
808 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
809 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
810 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
811 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
812
813 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
814
815 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
816 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
817 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
818 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
819 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
820 directory owned and write-able by the user running
821 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100822
823
824version 2.46
825 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
826 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
827 suggestion.
828
829 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
830 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
831 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
832 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
833 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
834
835 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
836 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
837 based in their IP address.
838
839 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
840 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
841 a domain associated with each client, and only
842 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
843 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
844 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
845 long as they are in different domains.
846
847 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
848 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
849 have now that it's variable.
850
851 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
852 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
853 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
854 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
855 potential.
856
857 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
858 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
859 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
860
861 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
862 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
863
864 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
865 which the DHCP request was received.
866
867 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
868 Laine for the patch.
869
870 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
871 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
872
873 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
874 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
875 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
876 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
877 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
878 address to a host which has two network interfaces
879 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
880 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
881 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
882 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
883 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
884
885 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
886 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
887 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
888 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
889 improvement.
890
891 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
892 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
893 suggestions on this.
894
895 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
896 Fisher.
897
898 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
899
900 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
901 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
902
903 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
904
905 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
906 up" event occurs.
907
908
909version 2.45
910 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
911 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
912 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
913 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
914
915
916version 2.44
917 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
918 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
919 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
920
921 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
922 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
923 never been reported in the wild.
924
925 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
926 Jean Wolter for finding this.
927
928 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
929 is large.
930
931 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
932 David Gilman.
933
934 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.

937version 2.43
938 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
939
940 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
941 illegally.
942
943 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
944
945 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
946 format.
947
948 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
949 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
950 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
951 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
952 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
953
954 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
955 Rack for the bug report.
956
957 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
958 Bergquist.
959
960 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
961 option.
962
963 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
964 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
965
966 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
967 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
968
969 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
970 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
971 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
972 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
973 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
974 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
975 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
976 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
977 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
978 suggestions.
979
980 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
981 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
982 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
983
984 Implement random source ports for interactions with
985 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
986 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
987 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
988 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
989 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
990 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
991 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
992 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
993 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.

995 Replace the random number generator, for better
996 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
997 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
998 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
999 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1000 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1001 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1002
1003 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1004 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1005 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1006 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1007 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.

1009 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
