Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +01001version 2.73
2 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
3 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
4 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +00005
6 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
7 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
8 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.

Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +000010 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
11 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
12 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling.
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +000013
14 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
15 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
16 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +000017
18 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
19 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
20 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
21 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +000022
23 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
24 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +000025
26 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
27 queries which include the specified address. No error is
28 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
29 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
30 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
31 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
32 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +000033
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +000034 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
35 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
36 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
37 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
38 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
39 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
40 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
41 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +010042
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +000043 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
44 to search automatically.
45
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +000046 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
47 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
48 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
49 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
50 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
51 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +000052
53 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
54 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
55 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +000056
57 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
58 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
59 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
60 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +000061
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +000062
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +010063version 2.72
Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +010064 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
65
66 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
67 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +010068
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +010069 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
70 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
71 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +010072
73 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
74 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +010075
76 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
77 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +010078
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +010079 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
80 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
81 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
82 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
83 patch.
84
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +010085 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
86 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
87 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
88 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
89 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
90 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
91
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +010092 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
93 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
94 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +010095
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +010096 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
97 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +010098
99 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
100 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
101 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100102
103 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
104 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.
105
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100106
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100107version 2.71
108 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
109 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
110 non-existent DS records.
111
112 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
113 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
114 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
115 report.
116
117 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
118 for spotting that too.
119
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100120 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
121 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
122 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
123
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100124
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100125version 2.70
126 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
127 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
128 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
129
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100130 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
131 Wang Jian for the bug report.
132
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100133
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000134version 2.69
135 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
136 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
137 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
138 valuable research on how to implement this.
139
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000140 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000141 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000142
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000143 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
144 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
145 for spotting the problem.
146
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000147 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
148 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
149 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
150 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
151 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
152
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000153 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
154 compiled with this enabled, with
155
156 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
157
158 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
159 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
160 statically with
161
162 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
163
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100164 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
165 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
166
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000167 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
168 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
169 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
170 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
171 distribution. You should of course check that these are
172 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
173
174 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
175 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000176
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000177 to your config is all thats needed to get things
178 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
179 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
180 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
181 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
182 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
183 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
184 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
185 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
186 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
187 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
188 records, which significantly improve the performance of
189 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
190 DNSSEC in action.
191
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100192 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
193 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
194 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
195 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
196 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
197 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
198 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
199 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
200 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
201 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
202 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
203 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
204 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
205 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
206 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
207 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
208
209 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
210 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
211 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
212 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
213 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
214 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
215 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
216 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
217 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
218 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
219 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
220 henceforward will be complete.
221
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000222 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
223 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
224 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
225 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
226 a workable state.
227
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000228 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000229
230 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
231 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000232
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000233 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
234 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
235 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000236 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000237 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
238 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
239 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
240 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
241
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000242 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
243 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
244 find this and helping to chase it down.
245
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100246 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
247 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
248 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
249
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100250 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
251 well as logging them.
252
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000253
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000254version 2.68
255 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
256 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
257 addresses.
258
259 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
260 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
261 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
262 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
263 restarted, this bug disappeared.
264
265 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
266 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
267
268 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
269
270 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
271 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
272 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
273 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
274 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
275 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
276 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
277 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
278 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
279 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
280 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
281 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
282 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000283
284 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
285 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
286 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
287 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000288
289 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
290 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
291
292 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
293 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000294
295 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
296 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
297 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
298 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
299 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000300
301 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
302 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
303 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
304 corresponding address on the local interface.
305
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000306
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100307version 2.67
308 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
309 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
310 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100311
312 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
313 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
314 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
315 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
316 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
317 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
318 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
319 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100320
321 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
322 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
323 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100324
325 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
326 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100327
328 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
329 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100330
331 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
332 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
333 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
334 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
335 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
336 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
337 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
338 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100339
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100340 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
341 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
342 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
343 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
344 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100345
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100346 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
347 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
348
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100349 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
350 spurious error when all seven possible items were
351 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100352
353 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
354 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
355
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100356 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
357 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
358
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100359 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
360 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
361 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
362 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
363 report.
364
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100365 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
366 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
367 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.

Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100372 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
373 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
374
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100375 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
376 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
377 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
378 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
379
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100380 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
381 via DBus too.
382
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100383 When the address which triggered the construction of an
384 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
385 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
386 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
387 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
388 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
389 arguing for this.
390
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100391 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
392 for the bug report.

Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100394 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
395 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
396 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
397 for suggesting this.
398
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100399 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
400 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
401
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100402 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
403 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
404 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
405 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
406 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
407
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100408 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net

Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100418 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
419 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
420
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100421 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
422 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
423 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
424 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
425 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100426
427 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
428 address must be either the first or last address in the
429 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
430 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100431
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100432 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100442 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100443 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
444 for sponsoring this feature.

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100446 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
447 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
448
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100449 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
450 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
451 suggestion.
452
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100453 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
454 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
455 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
456 spotting the problem.
457
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100458 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000462version 2.66
463 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
464 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
465 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
466 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
467 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
468 servers to be configured.
469
470 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
471 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
472 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
473 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
474 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
475 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
476 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
477 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000478
479 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000480 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
481 patch.
482
483 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
484 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
485 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
486 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
487 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
488 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
489 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000490
491 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
492 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
493 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000494
495 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
496 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000497 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000498 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
499 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
500 bounty for this addition.
501
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000502 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
503 information-requests with some common configurations.
504 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
505 chasing the problem.
506
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000507 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
508 patch.
509
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000510 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000511 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000512
513 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
514 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000515
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100516 Handle the situation where libc headers define
517 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
518 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
519 Felker for the bug report.
520
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100521 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100522
523 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
524 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
525 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100526
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100527 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.

Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000530version 2.65
531 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
532 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
533 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
534
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000535 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
536 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000537
538 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000539
540
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100541version 2.64
542 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
543 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
544 spotting the problem.
545
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100546 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
547 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
548 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
549 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
550 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
551 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
552
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100553 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
554 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
555
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100556 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100571 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
572 for the patch.
573
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100574 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
575 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
576 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
577
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100578 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
579 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
580 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
581 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
582
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100583 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
584 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
585 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
586
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100587 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
588 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
589 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
590
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000591 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
592 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
593 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000594
595 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
596 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000597
598 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
599 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
600 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000601
602 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
603 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
604 without setting source address and interface, since this
605 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
606 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100615 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
616 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
617
618 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
619 stuff is pointless without that.
620
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100621 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
622 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
623 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100624

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100628 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
629 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
630 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
631 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
632 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
633 superceded by other mechanisms.
634
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100635 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100643 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
644 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
645 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
646 the suggestion.
647
648 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
649 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
650 spotted the ommission.

668
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100669 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
670 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to

672
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100673 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
674 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
675 for spotting this.
676
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100677 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when

Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100681 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
682
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100683 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
684 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
685 his help nailing this.
686
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000687version 2.61
688 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
689 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
690 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
691 addresses.
692
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100693 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
694 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
695 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
696 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
697 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
698 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000702 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
703 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
704 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100705 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking

712 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
713
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000714 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
715 suggestion.
716
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000717 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
718 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
719 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
720 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
721 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
722 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
723 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
724 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
725 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
726 Gadgil.
727
728 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
729 the above.
730
731 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
732 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000733 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
734 Forkel.
735
736 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
737 work even if there is no interface carrying the
738 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
739 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
740 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
741 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
742 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000743
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000744 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
745 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
746 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
747
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100748 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
749 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
750 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
751 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
752 for existing connections, but new connections will use
753 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
754 renumbering at least possible.
755
756 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100757 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100766 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it

Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100797
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000798 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
799 which is not the primary address of an interface.
800
801 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
802
803 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
804 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
805 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
806 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
807 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
808 implementation.
809
810 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
811 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
812 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
813 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
814 set them from the make command line.
815
816 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
817 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
818
819 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
820 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000825 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
826 containing many distinct addresses.
827
828 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
829 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
830 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
831 this.
832
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000833 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
834 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
835
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000836 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
837 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
838 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
839 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
840
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000841 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
842 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
843 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
844 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000845 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000846 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
847
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000848 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
849 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
850 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
851 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
852 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
853 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
854 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
855 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
856 These will be added as the standards mature.
857 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
858 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
859 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000860
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000861 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
862 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
863 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
864 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
865 enabling with --enable-ra.
866
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000867 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
868 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
869 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
870 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000871

875
876
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000877version 2.59
878 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
879 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
880 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
881 report.
882
883 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
884 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
885 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
886 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
887 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
888 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
889 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
890 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
891 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100892
893
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100894version 2.58
895 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
896 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
897
898 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
899 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
900 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
901
902 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
903 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
904 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
905 server-deployment applications need this.
906
907 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
908 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
909 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
910 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
911 in chasing this one down.
912
913 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
914 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
915 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
916 the problem.
917
918 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
919 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
920 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
921 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
922 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
923 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
924
925 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
926 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
927 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
928 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
929 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
930 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
931 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
932 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
933
934 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
935 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
936
937 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
938 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
939 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
940 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
941
942 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
943 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
944
945 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
946 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
947 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
948 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
949 Agrawal for the patch.
950
951 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
952 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
953 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
954 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
955 per-network values. So
956 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
957 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
958 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
959 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
960 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
961 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
962
963 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
964 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
965 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
966 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
967 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
968 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
969 a comprehensive test-case.
970
971 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
972 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100973 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100974
975 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
976 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
977 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
978 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
979 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
980

985
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000986version 2.57
987 Add patches to allow build under Android.
988
989 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
990 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
991 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
992 effectively empty on Android.
993
994 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
995 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
996 wildcard.
997
998 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
999 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1000 spotting this.
1001
1002 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1003 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1004 when i18n is included.
1005 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1006
1007 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1008 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1009 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1010
1011
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001012version 2.56
1013 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1014 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1015
1016 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1017 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1018 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1019 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1020
1021 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1022 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1023
1024 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1025 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1026 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1027
1028 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1029 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1030 syslogd.
1031
1032 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1033 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1034 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1035
1036 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1037 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1038 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1039
1040 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1041 option, on the command line.
1042
1043 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1044 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1045
1046 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1047 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1048 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1049 to John Hallam for the patch.
1050
1051 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1052 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1053 character chunks instead.
1054
1055 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1056 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1057 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1058 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1059
1060 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1061 transfer has completed succesfully.
1062
1063 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1064 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1065 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1066 which automatically creates
1067 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1068 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1069
1070 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1071 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1072
1073 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1074 thanks for that.
1075
1076 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1077 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1078 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1079 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1080 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1081 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1082 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1083 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1084 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1085
1086 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1087 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1088 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1089 set.
1090
1091 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1092 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1093
1094 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1095 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1096 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1097
1098 Edit
1099 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1100 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1101 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1102
1103 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1104 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1105 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1106 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1107 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1108 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1109 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1110 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1111 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1112 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1113 So:
1114 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1115 --server=/google.com/#
1116 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1117 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1118 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1119 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1120 William for pointing out the need for this.
1121
1122 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1123 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1124 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1125
1126 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1127 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1128 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1129 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1130
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001131 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001140 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
1141 finding this one.

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001152version 2.53
1153 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1154 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1155
1156 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1157 generated by gcc 4.4.
1158
1159 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1160 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1161
1162 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1163 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1164 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1165
1166 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1167 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1168 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1169 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1170 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1171 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1172 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1173 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1174 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1175 much less confusing.
1176
1177 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1178 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1179 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1180
1181 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1182
1183 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1184
1185 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1186 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1187 finding this.
1188
1189 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1190 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1191 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1192 from the client.
1193
1194 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1195 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1196 finding this.
1197
1198 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1199 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1200 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1201 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1202 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1203 server-override option.
1204
1205 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1206 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1207 allows a single line of the form
1208 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1209 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1210 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1211 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1212 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1213 interface=<interface>
1214 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1215 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1216 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1217 configuration.
1218
1219 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1220
1221 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1222 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1223
1224 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1225 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1226 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1227 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1228
1229 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1230 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1231 file, not the process/descriptor.
1232
1233 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1234 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1235
1236 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1237 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1238 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1239 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1240 this and testing the fix.
1241
1242 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1243 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1244 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1245
1246 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1247 upstream servers: this allows something like
1248 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1249 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1250 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1251 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1252
1253 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1254 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1255 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1256 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1257 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1258 work on this.
1259
1260 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1261 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1262 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1263 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1264 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1265 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1266 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1267
1268 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1269
1270 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1271 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1272 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1273 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1274 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1275 here.
1276
1277 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1278
1279 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1280 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1281
1282 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1283 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1284 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1285 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1286 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1287
1288 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1289 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1290
1291 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1292 is set.
1293
1294 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1295 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1296
1297 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1298
1299 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1300
1301 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1302
1303 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1304
1305 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1306 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1307 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1308
1309 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1310
1311
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001312version 2.52
1313 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1314 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1315 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1316 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1317 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1318 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1319 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1320 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1321
1322 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1323 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1324 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1325 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1326
1327 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1328 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1329 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1330 when dnsmasq is first started.
1331
1332 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1333 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1334 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1335 with certain clients.
1336
1337 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1338 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1339 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1340
1341 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1342 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1343 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1344 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1345 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1346 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1347 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1348 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1349 numbers delimited by dots.
1350
1351 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1352 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1353
1354 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1355 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1356
1357 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1358 contrib/Solaris10.
1359
1360 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1361 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1362 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1363 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1364 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1365 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1366 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1367
1368 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1369 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1370 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1371 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1372
1373 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1374 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1375 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1376
1377 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1378 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1379 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1380
1381 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1382 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1383 looks like this:
1384 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1385
1386 Add some application specific code to assist in
1387 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1388 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1389
1390 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1391 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1392 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1393 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1394
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001395 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001396 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1397
1398 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1399 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1400 this.
1401
1402 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1403 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1404 providing this.
1405
1406 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1407 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1408
1409 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1410
1411 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1412
1413 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1414
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001415 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1416 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1417 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1418 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001419
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001420
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001421version 2.51
1422 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1423 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1424 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1425 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1426 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1427 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1428 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1429 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1430 suggestion.
1431
1432 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1433 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1434 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1435 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1436 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1437 a DHCP relay, if used.
1438 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1439
1440 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1441 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1442
1443 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1444 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1445 dhcp-option-force.
1446
1447 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1448 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1449 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1450
1451 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1452 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1453 the patch.
1454
1455 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1456
1457 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1458 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1459
1460 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1461 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1462 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1463 suggestion.
1464
1465 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1466 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1467 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1468 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1469 dhcp-optsfile.
1470
1471 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1472 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1473 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1474 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1475 suggestion.
1476
1477 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1478 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1479 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1480 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1481 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1482
1483 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1484 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1485 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1486 fragmented packets.
1487
1488 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1489 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1490
1491 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001495 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001496 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1497 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1498 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1499 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1500 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1501 and CVE: 2009-2957
1502
1503 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1504 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1505 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1506 CVE: 2009-2958

1508
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001509version 2.49
1510 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1511 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1512
1513 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1514 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1515 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1516 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1517
1518 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001521version 2.48
1522 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1523 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1524 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001525
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001526 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1527 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1528 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001529
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001530 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1531 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1532 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001533
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001534 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1535 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1536 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1537 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001538
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001539 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1540 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001541
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001542 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1543 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1544 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1545 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001546
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001547 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1548 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1549 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001550
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001551 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1552 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1553 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001554
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001555 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001556
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001557 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1558 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1559 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1560 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1561 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1562 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1563 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1564 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1565 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001566
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001567 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1568 useful suggestions.
1569
1570 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1571 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1572 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1573
1574 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1575 configuration files only.

1580version 2.47
1581 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1582
1583 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1584 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1585
1586 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1587 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1588 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1589
1590 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1591 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1592 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1593 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1594 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1595 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1596 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1597 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1598 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1599 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1600 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1601 Krafft for the bug report.
1602
1603 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1604
1605 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1606 Fix for this bug:
1607 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1608
1609 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1610 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1611 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1612 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1613
1614 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1615 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1616
1617 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1618
1619 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1620 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1621 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1622 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1623 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1624
1625 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1626 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1627
1628 No longer complain about blank lines in
1629 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1630
1631 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1632 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1633 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1634 for the bug report.
1635
1636 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1637 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1638 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1639 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1640
1641 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1642 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1643 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1644 as before.
1645 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1646 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1647 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1648
1649 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1650 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1651 Windows even when using supernetting.
1652 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1653 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1654 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1655 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1656
1657 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1658
1659 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1660 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1661 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1662 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1663 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1664 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1665 dnsmasq.

1667
1668version 2.46
1669 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1670 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1671 suggestion.
1672
1673 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1674 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1675 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1676 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1677 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1678
1679 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1680 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1681 based in their IP address.
1682
1683 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1684 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1685 a domain associated with each client, and only
1686 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1687 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1688 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1689 long as they are in different domains.
1690
1691 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1692 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1693 have now that it's variable.
1694
1695 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1696 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1697 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1698 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1699 potential.
1700
1701 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1702 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1703 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1704
1705 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1706 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1707
1708 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1709 which the DHCP request was received.
1710
1711 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1712 Laine for the patch.
1713
1714 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1715 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1716
1717 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1718 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1719 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1720 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1721 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1722 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1723 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1724 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1725 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1726 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1727 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1728
1729 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1730 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1731 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1732 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1733 improvement.
1734
1735 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1736 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1737 suggestions on this.
1738
1739 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1740 Fisher.
1741
1742 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1743
1744 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1745 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1746
1747 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1748
1749 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1750 up" event occurs.
1751
1752
1753version 2.45
1754 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1755 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1756 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1757 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1758
1759
1760version 2.44
1761 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1762 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1763 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1764
1765 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1766 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1767 never been reported in the wild.
1768
1769 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1770 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1771
1772 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1773 is large.
1774
1775 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1776 David Gilman.
1777
1778 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1779
1780
1781version 2.43
1782 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1783
1784 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1785 illegally.
1786
1787 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1788
1789 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1790 format.
1791
1792 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1793 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1794 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1795 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1796 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1797
1798 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1799 Rack for the bug report.
1800
1801 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1802 Bergquist.
1803
1804 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1805 option.
1806
1807 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1808 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1809
1810 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1811 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1812
1813 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1814 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1815 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1816 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1817 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1818 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1819 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1820 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1821 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1822 suggestions.
1823
1824 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1825 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1826 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1827
1828 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1829 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1830 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1831 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1832 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1833 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1834 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1835 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1836 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1837 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1838
1839 Replace the random number generator, for better
1840 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1841 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1842 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1843 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1844 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1845 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1846
1847 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1848 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1849 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1850 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1851 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1852
1853 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
