2 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
3 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
4 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
5 valuable research on how to implement this.

Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +00007 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +00008 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.

Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +000010 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
11 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
12 for spotting the problem.
13
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +000014 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
15 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
16 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
17 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
18 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
19
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000020 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
21 compiled with this enabled, with
22
23 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
24
25 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
26 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
27 statically with
28
29 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
30
31 which bloats the dnsmasq binary to over a megabyte, but
32 saves the size of the shared libraries which are five
33 times that size.
34 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
35 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
36 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
37 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
38 distribution. You should of course check that these are
39 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
40
41 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
42 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +000043
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000044 to your config is all thats needed to get things
45 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
46 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
47 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
48 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
49 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
50 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
51 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
52 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
53 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
54 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
55 records, which significantly improve the performance of
56 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
57 DNSSEC in action.
58
59 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
60 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
61 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
62 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
63 a workable state.
64
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +000065 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +000066
67 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
68 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +000069
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +000070 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
71 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
72 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +000073 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +000074 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
75 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
76 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
77 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
78
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +000079 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
80 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
81 find this and helping to chase it down.
82
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +000083
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +000084version 2.68
85 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
86 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
87 addresses.
88
89 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
90 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
91 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
92 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
93 restarted, this bug disappeared.
94
95 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
96 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
97
98 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
99
100 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
101 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
102 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
103 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
104 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
105 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
106 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
107 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
108 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
109 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
110 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
111 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
112 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000113
114 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
115 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
116 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
117 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000118
119 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
120 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
121
122 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
123 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000124
125 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
126 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
127 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
128 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
129 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000130
131 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
132 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
133 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
134 corresponding address on the local interface.
135

Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100137version 2.67
138 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
139 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
140 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100141
142 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
143 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
144 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
145 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
146 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
147 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
148 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
149 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100150
151 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
152 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
153 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100154
155 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
156 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100157
158 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
159 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100160
161 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
162 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
163 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
164 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
165 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
166 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
167 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
168 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100169
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100170 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
171 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
172 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
173 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
174 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100175
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100176 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
177 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
178
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100179 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
180 spurious error when all seven possible items were
181 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100182
183 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
184 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
185
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100186 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
187 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
188
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100189 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
190 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
191 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
192 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
193 report.
194
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100195 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
196 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
197 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
198
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100199 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero

Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100202 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
203 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
204
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100205 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
206 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
207 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
208 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
209
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100210 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
211 via DBus too.
212
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100213 When the address which triggered the construction of an
214 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
215 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
216 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
217 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
218 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
219 arguing for this.
220
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100221 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
222 for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100223
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100224 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
225 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
226 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
227 for suggesting this.
228
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100229 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
230 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
231
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100232 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
233 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
234 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
235 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
236 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
237
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100238 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
239 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100240
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100241 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
242 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
243
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100244 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
245 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
246 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
247
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100248 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
249 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
250
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100251 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
252 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
253 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
254 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
255 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100256
257 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
258 address must be either the first or last address in the
259 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
260 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100261
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100262 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100269 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
270 inspiration on this.
271
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100272 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100276 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
277 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
278
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100279 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
280 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
281 suggestion.
282
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100283 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
284 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
285 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
286 spotting the problem.
287
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100288 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000292version 2.66
293 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
294 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
295 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
296 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
297 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
298 servers to be configured.
299
300 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
301 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
302 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
303 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
304 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
305 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
306 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
307 this idea.

311 patch.
312
313 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
314 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
315 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
316 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
317 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
318 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
319 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000320
321 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as

325 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
326 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000327 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000328 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
329 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
330 bounty for this addition.
331
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000332 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6

335 chasing the problem.
336
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000337 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the

374 spotting the problem.
375
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100376 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
377 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
378 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
379 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
380 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
381 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
382
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100383 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100404 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
405 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
406 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
407
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100408 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
409 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
410 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to

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

447
448 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
449 stuff is pointless without that.
450
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100451 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100458 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
459 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
460 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
461 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
462 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
463 superceded by other mechanisms.
464
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100465 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host

475 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
476 the suggestion.

521 addresses.
522
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100523 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
524 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
525 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
526 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
527 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
528 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

539 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
540 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
541
542 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
543
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000544 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the

Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000547 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
548 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
549 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
550 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
551 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
552 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
553 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
554 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
555 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
556 Gadgil.
557
558 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
559 the above.

564 Forkel.
565
566 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
567 work even if there is no interface carrying the
568 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
569 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
570 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
571 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
572 the idea and initial patch.

576 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
577
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100578 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
579 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
580 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
581 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
582 for existing connections, but new connections will use
583 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
584 renumbering at least possible.
585
586 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease

629 which is not the primary address of an interface.
630
631 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
632
633 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
634 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
635 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
636 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
637 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
638 implementation.
639
640 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
641 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
642 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
643 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
644 set them from the make command line.
645
646 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
647 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000666 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
667 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
668 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
669 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
670
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000671 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds

677
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000678 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
679 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
680 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
681 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
682 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
683 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
684 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
685 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
686 These will be added as the standards mature.
687 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
688 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
689 testers who have got it this far.

Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000691 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
692 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
693 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
694 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
695 enabling with --enable-ra.
696

710 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
711 report.
712
713 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
714 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
715 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
716 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
717 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
718 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
719 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
720 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
721 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

725 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
726 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
727
728 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
729 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
730 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
731
732 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
733 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
734 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
735 server-deployment applications need this.
736
737 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
738 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
739 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
740 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
741 in chasing this one down.
742
743 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
744 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
745 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
746 the problem.
747
748 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
749 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
750 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
751 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
752 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
753 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
754
755 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
756 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
757 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
758 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
759 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
760 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
761 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
762 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
763
764 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
765 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
766
767 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
768 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
769 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
770 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
771
772 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
773 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
774
775 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
776 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
777 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
778 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
779 Agrawal for the patch.
780
781 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
782 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
783 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
784 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
785 per-network values. So
786 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
787 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
788 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
789 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
790 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
791 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
792
793 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
794 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
795 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
796 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
797 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
798 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
799 a comprehensive test-case.
800
801 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
802 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100803 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100804
805 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
806 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
807 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
808 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
809 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
810
811 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
812
813 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

815
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000816version 2.57
817 Add patches to allow build under Android.
818
819 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
820 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
821 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
822 effectively empty on Android.
823
824 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
825 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
826 wildcard.
827
828 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
829 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
830 spotting this.
831
832 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
833 IDN support continues to be included automatically
834 when i18n is included.
835 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
836
837 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
838 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
839 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
840
841
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000842version 2.56
843 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
844 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
845
846 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
847 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
848 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
849 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
850
851 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
852 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
853
854 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
855 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
856 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
857
858 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
859 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
860 syslogd.
861
862 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
863 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
864 Petrin for the orignal patch.
865
866 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
867 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
868 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
869
870 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
871 option, on the command line.
872
873 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
874 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
875
876 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
877 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
878 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
879 to John Hallam for the patch.
880
881 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
882 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
883 character chunks instead.
884
885 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
886 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
887 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
888 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
889
890 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
891 transfer has completed succesfully.
892
893 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
894 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
895 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
896 which automatically creates
897 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
898 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
899
900 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
901 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
902
903 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
904 thanks for that.
905
906 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
907 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
908 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
909 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
910 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
911 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
912 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
913 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
914 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
915
916 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
917 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
918 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
919 set.
920
921 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
922 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
923
924 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
925 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
926 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
927
928 Edit
929 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
930 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
931 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
932
933 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
934 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
935 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
936 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
937 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
938 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
939 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
940 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
941 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
942 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
943 So:
944 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
945 --server=/google.com/#
946 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
947 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
948 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
949 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
950 William for pointing out the need for this.
951
952 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
953 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
954 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
955
956 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
957 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
958 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
959 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
960
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000961 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

983 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
984 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
985
986 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
987 generated by gcc 4.4.
988
989 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
990 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
991
992 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
993 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
994 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
995
996 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
997 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
998 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
999 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1000 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1001 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1002 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1003 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1004 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1005 much less confusing.
1006
1007 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1008 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1009 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1010
1011 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1012
1013 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1014
1015 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1016 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1017 finding this.
1018
1019 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1020 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1021 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1022 from the client.
1023
1024 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1025 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1026 finding this.
1027
1028 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1029 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1030 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1031 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1032 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1033 server-override option.
1034
1035 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1036 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1037 allows a single line of the form
1038 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1039 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1040 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1041 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1042 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1043 interface=<interface>
1044 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1045 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1046 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1047 configuration.
1048
1049 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1050
1051 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1052 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1053
1054 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1055 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1056 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1057 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1058
1059 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1060 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1061 file, not the process/descriptor.
1062
1063 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1064 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1065
1066 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1067 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1068 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1069 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1070 this and testing the fix.
1071
1072 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1073 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1074 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1075
1076 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1077 upstream servers: this allows something like
1078 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1079 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1080 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1081 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1082
1083 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1084 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1085 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1086 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1087 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1088 work on this.
1089
1090 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1091 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1092 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1093 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1094 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1095 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1096 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1097
1098 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1099
1100 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1101 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1102 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1103 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1104 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1105 here.
1106
1107 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1108
1109 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1110 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1111
1112 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1113 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1114 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1115 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1116 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1117
1118 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1119 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1120
1121 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1122 is set.
1123
1124 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1125 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1126

1133 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1134
1135 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1136 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1137 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1138
1139 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1141
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001142version 2.52
1143 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1144 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1145 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1146 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1147 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1148 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1149 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1150 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1151
1152 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1153 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1154 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1155 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1156
1157 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1158 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1159 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1160 when dnsmasq is first started.
1161
1162 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1163 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1164 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1165 with certain clients.
1166
1167 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1168 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1169 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1170
1171 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1172 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1173 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1174 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1175 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1176 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1177 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1178 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1179 numbers delimited by dots.
1180
1181 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1182 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1183
1184 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1185 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1186
1187 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1188 contrib/Solaris10.
1189
1190 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1191 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1192 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1193 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1194 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1195 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1196 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1197
1198 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1199 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1200 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1201 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1202
1203 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1204 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1205 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1206
1207 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1208 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1209 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1210
1211 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1212 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1213 looks like this:
1214 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1215
1216 Add some application specific code to assist in
1217 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1218 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1219
1220 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1221 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1222 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1223 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1224
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001225 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001226 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1227
1228 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1229 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1230 this.
1231
1232 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1233 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1234 providing this.
1235
1236 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1237 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1238
1239 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1240
1241 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1242
1243 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1244
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001245 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1246 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1247 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1248 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001249
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001250
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001251version 2.51
1252 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1253 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1254 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1255 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1256 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1257 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1258 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1259 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1260 suggestion.
1261
1262 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1263 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1264 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1265 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1266 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1267 a DHCP relay, if used.
1268 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1269
1270 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1271 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1272
1273 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1274 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1275 dhcp-option-force.
1276
1277 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1278 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1279 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1280
1281 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1282 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1283 the patch.
1284
1285 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1286
1287 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1288 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1289
1290 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1291 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1292 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1293 suggestion.
1294
1295 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1296 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1297 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1298 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1299 dhcp-optsfile.
1300
1301 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1302 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1303 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1304 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1305 suggestion.
1306
1307 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1308 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1309 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1310 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1311 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1312
1313 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1314 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1315 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1316 fragmented packets.
1317
1318 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1319 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1320
1321 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001325 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001326 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1327 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1328 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1329 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1330 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1331 and CVE: 2009-2957
1332
1333 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1334 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1335 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1336 CVE: 2009-2958

1338
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001339version 2.49
1340 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1341 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1342
1343 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1344 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1345 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1346 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1347
1348 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001351version 2.48
1352 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1353 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1354 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001355
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001356 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1357 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1358 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001359
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001360 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1361 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1362 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001363
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001364 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1365 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1366 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1367 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001368
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001369 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1370 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001371
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001372 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1373 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1374 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1375 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001376
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001377 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1378 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1379 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001380
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001381 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1382 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1383 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001384
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001385 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001386
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001387 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1388 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1389 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1390 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1391 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1392 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1393 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1394 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1395 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001396
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001397 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1398 useful suggestions.
1399
1400 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1401 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1402 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1403
1404 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1405 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001406
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001407 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1410version 2.47
1411 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1412
1413 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1414 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1415
1416 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1417 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1418 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1419
1420 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1421 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1422 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1423 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1424 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1425 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1426 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1427 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1428 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1429 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1430 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1431 Krafft for the bug report.
1432
1433 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1434
1435 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1436 Fix for this bug:
1437 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1438
1439 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1440 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1441 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1442 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1443
1444 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1445 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1446
1447 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1448
1449 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1450 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1451 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1452 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1453 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1454
1455 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1456 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1457
1458 No longer complain about blank lines in
1459 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1460
1461 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1462 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1463 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1464 for the bug report.
1465
1466 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1467 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1468 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1469 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1470
1471 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1472 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1473 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1474 as before.
1475 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1476 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1477 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1478
1479 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1480 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1481 Windows even when using supernetting.
1482 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1483 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1484 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1485 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1486
1487 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1488
1489 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1490 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1491 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1492 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1493 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1494 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1495 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001496
1497
1498version 2.46
1499 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1500 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1501 suggestion.
1502
1503 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1504 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1505 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1506 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1507 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1508
1509 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1510 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1511 based in their IP address.
1512
1513 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1514 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1515 a domain associated with each client, and only
1516 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1517 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1518 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1519 long as they are in different domains.
1520
1521 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1522 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1523 have now that it's variable.
1524
1525 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1526 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1527 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1528 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1529 potential.
1530
1531 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1532 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1533 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1534
1535 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1536 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1537
1538 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1539 which the DHCP request was received.
1540
1541 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1542 Laine for the patch.
1543
1544 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1545 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1546
1547 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1548 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1549 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1550 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1551 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1552 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1553 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1554 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1555 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1556 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1557 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1558
1559 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1560 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1561 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1562 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1563 improvement.
1564
1565 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1566 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1567 suggestions on this.
1568
1569 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1570 Fisher.
1571
1572 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1573
1574 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1575 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1576
1577 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1578
1579 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1580 up" event occurs.
1581
1582
1583version 2.45
1584 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1585 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1586 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1587 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1588
1589
1590version 2.44
1591 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1592 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1593 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1594
1595 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1596 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1597 never been reported in the wild.
1598
1599 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1600 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1601
1602 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1603 is large.
1604
1605 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1606 David Gilman.
1607
1608 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.

1611version 2.43
1612 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1613
1614 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1615 illegally.
1616
1617 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1618
1619 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1620 format.
1621
1622 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1623 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1624 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1625 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1626 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1627
1628 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1629 Rack for the bug report.
1630
1631 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1632 Bergquist.
1633
1634 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1635 option.
1636
1637 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1638 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1639
1640 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1641 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1642
1643 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1644 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1645 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1646 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1647 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1648 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1649 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1650 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1651 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1652 suggestions.
1653
1654 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1655 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1656 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1657
1658 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1659 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1660 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1661 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1662 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1663 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1664 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1665 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1666 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1667 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.

1669 Replace the random number generator, for better
1670 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1671 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1672 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1673 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1674 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1675 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1676
1677 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1678 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1679 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1680 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1681 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.

1683 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
