Simon Kelley903df072017-01-19 17:22:00 +00002 Generate an error when configured with a CNAME loop,
Simon Kelley0740e432017-01-26 18:02:54 +00003 rather than a crash. Thanks to George Metz for
Simon Kelley903df072017-01-19 17:22:00 +00004 spotting this problem.

Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +01006 Calculate the length of TFTP error reply packet
7 correctly. This fixes a problem when the error
8 message in a TFTP packet exceeds the arbitrary
9 limit of 500 characters. The message was correctly
10 truncated, but not the packet length, so
11 extra data was appended. This is a possible
12 security risk, since the extra data comes from
13 a buffer which is also used for DNS, so that
14 previous DNS queries or replies may be leaked.
15 Thanks to Mozilla for funding the security audit
16 which spotted this bug.

Ivan Kokshaysky1d076672016-07-11 18:36:05 +010018 Fix logic error in Linux netlink code. This could
19 cause dnsmasq to enter a tight loop on systems
20 with a very large number of network interfaces.
21 Thanks to Ivan Kokshaysky for the diagnosis and
22 patch.
23
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant06093a92016-07-11 21:03:27 +010024 Fix problem with --dnssec-timestamp whereby receipt
25 of SIGHUP would erroneously engage timestamp checking.
26 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for this work.
Simon Kelleyc8328ec2016-08-05 16:54:58 +010027
28 Bump zone serial on reloading /etc/hosts and friends
29 when providing authoritative DNS. Thanks to Harrald
30 Dunkel for spotting this.
Simon Kelley6d950992016-08-11 23:38:54 +010031
32 Handle v4-mapped IPv6 addresses sanely in --synth-domain.
33 These have standard representation like ::ffff:1.2.3.4
34 and are now converted to names like
35 <prefix>--ffff-1-2-3-4.<domain>
36
Beniamino Galvani2675f202016-08-28 20:44:05 +010037 Handle binding upstream servers to an interface
38 (--server=1.2.3.4@eth0) when the named interface
39 is destroyed and recreated in the kernel. Thanks to
40 Beniamino Galvani for the patch.
41
Simon Kelleyb637d782016-12-13 16:44:11 +000042 Allow wildcard CNAME records in authoritative zones.
43 For example --cname=*.example.com,default.example.com
44 Thanks to Pro Backup for sponsoring this development.
45
Simon Kelley09b768e2016-12-22 22:16:58 +000046 Bump the allowed backlog of TCP connections from 5 to 32,
47 and make this a compile-time configurable option. Thanks
48 to Donatas Abraitis for diagnosing this as a potential
49 problem.
50
ZHAO Yuf89cae32016-12-22 22:32:31 +000051 Add DNSMASQ_REQUESTED_OPTIONS environment variable to the
52 lease-change script. Thanks to ZHAO Yu for the patch.
Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +010053
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +000054 Fix foobar in rrfilter code, that could cause malformed
Simon Kelley0740e432017-01-26 18:02:54 +000055 replies, especially when DNSSEC validation on, and
56 the upstream server returns answer with the RRs in a
57 particular order. The only DNS server known to tickle
58 this is Nominum's. Thanks to Dave Täht for spotting the
59 bug and assisting in the fix.
60
Simon Kelleyd42d4702017-02-02 16:52:06 +000061 Fix the manpage which lied that only the primary address
62 of an interface is used by --interface-name.
63
64 Make --localise-queries apply to names from --interface-name.
65 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant and Eric Luehrsen
66 for pushing this.
67
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +000068 Improve connection handling when talking to TCP upstream
Simon Kelley361dfe52017-02-10 21:12:30 +000069 servers. Specifically, be prepared to open a new TCP
70 connection when we want to make multiple queries
71 but the upstream server accepts fewer queries per connection.
Hannu Nyman3e2496f2017-02-11 13:44:08 +000072
73 Improve logging of upstream servers when there are a lot
74 of "local addresses only" entries. Thanks to Hannu Nyman for
75 the patch.
Simon Kelley361dfe52017-02-10 21:12:30 +000076
Simon Kelley88a77a72017-02-11 17:02:02 +000077 Implement RFC 6842. Thanks to Reddeiah Raju Konduru for
78 pointing out that this was missing.
79
Simon Kelleyfca008d2017-02-19 18:50:41 +000080 Make --bogus-priv apply to IPv6, for the prefixes specified
81 in RFC6303. Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for work on this.
82
Simon Kelley88a77a72017-02-11 17:02:02 +000083
Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +010084version 2.76
85 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
86 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
87 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
88 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
89 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +010090
91 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
92 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +010093
94 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
95 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
96 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
97 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
98
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +000099 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
100 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
101 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
102 the patch.
103
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +0000104 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
105 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
106 for the patch.
107
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +0000108 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
109 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
110 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
111 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
112 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
113
114 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
115 not SERVFAIL.
116
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +0000117 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
118 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000119
120 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
121 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000122 removal of entries in the ARP or neighbour tables.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000123
124 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000125 as base64, by configuring --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000126
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000127 Add --add-cpe-id option.
128
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000129 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
130 is declared as a whole /64.
131 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
132 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
133
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +0000134 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
135 --cname.
136
137 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000138
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000139 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
140 initial patch.
141
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +0100142 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
143 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
144 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
145 for spotting this.
146
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +0100147 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
148 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
149 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
150
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +0100151 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
152 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
153
154 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
155 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
156
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100157 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
158 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
159 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +0100160 in src/config.h.
161
162 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
163 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
164 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
165 will need to update your config.
166
167 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
168 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100169
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100170 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
171 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
172 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000173 work with these architectures.
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100174
175 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
176 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
177 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
178 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
179 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
180 single-item boot menu.
181
182 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
183 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
184
Simon Kelleyda2cad42016-05-18 15:14:08 +0100185 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
186 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
187 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
188 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
189 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
190 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
191 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
192 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
193 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
194 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
195 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
196 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
197 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
198 have a config with a basename which already has a
199 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
200 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
201 name.suffix

Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +0100204version 2.75
205 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
206 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
207 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
208
209
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +0100210version 2.74
211 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
212 read the default file, rather than no file.
213
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100214 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
215 not SEGV in some circumstances.
216
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100217 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
218 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
219 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
220
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100221
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100222version 2.73
223 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
224 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
225 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000226
227 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
228 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
229 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
230
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000231 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
232 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000233 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
234 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
235 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000236
237 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
238 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
239 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000240
241 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
242 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
243 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
244 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000245
246 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
247 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000248
249 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
250 queries which include the specified address. No error is
251 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
252 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
253 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
254 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
255 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000256
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000257 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
258 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
259 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
260 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
261 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
262 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
263 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
264 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100265
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000266 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
267 to search automatically.
268
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000269 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
270 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
271 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
272 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
273 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000274 floor of one hour. Thanks to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000275
276 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
277 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
278 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000279
280 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
281 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
282 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
283 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000284
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000285 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
286 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
287 for the patch.
288
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000289 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000290
291 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100292 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
293 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
294 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
295 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100296
297 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
298 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100299
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100300 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
301 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
302 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
303 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
304 sterling work chasing this down.
305
306 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
307 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100308 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
309 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
310 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100311
312 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
313 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
314 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
315 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
316 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
317 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
318 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
319 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100320
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100321 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
322 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
323 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
324 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
325 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
326 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100327 pointing out the problem.
328
329 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
330 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
331 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100332
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100333 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
334 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
335 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
336 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
337 change permanent.
338
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100339 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
340 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
341
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100342 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
343 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
344
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100345 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
346 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
347 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
348 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100349
350 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks

Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100352
353 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the
354 "on-link" bit set. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
355
356 Extend --bridge-interface to DHCPv6 and router

Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100377 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
378 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the

380 patch.
381
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100382 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
383 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
384 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
385 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
386 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
387 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.

442 for spotting the problem.
443
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000444 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
445 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
446 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
447 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
448 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
449
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000450 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
451 compiled with this enabled, with
452
453 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
454
455 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
456 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
457 statically with
458
459 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
460
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100461 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
462 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
463
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000464 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
465 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
466 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
467 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
468 distribution. You should of course check that these are
469 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
470
471 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
472 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000473
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +0000474 to your config is all that's needed to get things
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000475 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
476 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
477 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
478 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
479 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
480 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
481 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
482 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
483 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
484 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
485 records, which significantly improve the performance of
486 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
487 DNSSEC in action.
488
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100489 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
490 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
491 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
492 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
493 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
494 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
495 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
496 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
497 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
498 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
499 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
500 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
501 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
502 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
503 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
504 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
505
506 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
507 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
508 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
509 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
510 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
511 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
512 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
513 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
514 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
515 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
516 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
517 henceforward will be complete.
518
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000519 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
520 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
521 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
522 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
523 a workable state.
524
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000525 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.

Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000530 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
531 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
532 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000533 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000534 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
535 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
536 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
537 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
538
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000539 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs

552 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
553 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
554 addresses.
555
556 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
557 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
558 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
559 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
560 restarted, this bug disappeared.
561
562 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
563 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
564
565 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
566
567 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
568 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
569 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
570 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000571 work-around which exempted constructed DHCP ranges from the
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000572 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
573 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
574 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000575 constructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000576 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
577 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
578 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
579 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000580

592 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
593 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
594 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
595 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
596 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000597
598 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for

609 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
610 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
611 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
612 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
613 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
614 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
615 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
616 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

628 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
629 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
630 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
631 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
632 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
633 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
634 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
635 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100656 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
657 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP

681 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
682 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime

Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100711 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
712 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
713 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
714
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100715 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
716 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
717
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100718 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
719 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
720 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
721 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
722 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100723
724 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
725 address must be either the first or last address in the
726 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
727 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100728
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100729 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

741 for sponsoring this feature.

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100743 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
744 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
745
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100746 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
747 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
748 suggestion.
749
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100750 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000751 as eligible for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100752 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
753 spotting the problem.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000759version 2.66
760 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
761 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
762 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
763 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
764 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
765 servers to be configured.
766
767 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
768 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
769 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
770 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
771 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
772 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
773 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
774 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000775
776 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000777 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
778 patch.
779
780 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
781 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
782 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
783 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
784 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
785 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
786 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000787
788 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
789 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
790 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000791
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000792 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBSCRIBER_ID,
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000793 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000794 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000795 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
796 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
797 bounty for this addition.
798
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000799 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
800 information-requests with some common configurations.
801 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
802 chasing the problem.
803
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000804 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
805 patch.
806
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000807 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000808 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000809
810 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
811 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000812
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100813 Handle the situation where libc headers define
814 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
815 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
816 Felker for the bug report.
817
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100818 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100819
820 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
821 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
822 the bug report.

Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000826
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000827version 2.65
828 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
829 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
830 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
831
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000832 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
833 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.

Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000835 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke caching.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000836
837
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100838version 2.64
839 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
840 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
841 spotting the problem.
842
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100843 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
844 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
845 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000846 generate a warning. Now that only happens if there is not
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100847 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
848 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
849
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100850 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
851 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
852
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100853 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in

861
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000862 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
863 Roy Marples for the patch.
864
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000865 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thanks to Cristian
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100866 Rodriguez for the patch.

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100868 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
869 for the patch.
870
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100871 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000872 infinite loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100873 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
874
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100875 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
876 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
877 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
878 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
879
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100880 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
881 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
882 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
883
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100884 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
885 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
886 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
887
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000888 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
889 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
890 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.

895 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router

897 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000898
899 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
900 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
901 without setting source address and interface, since this
902 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
903 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

914
915 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
916 stuff is pointless without that.
917
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100918 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100925 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
926 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
927 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
928 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
929 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +0000930 superseded by other mechanisms.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100940 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time

942 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
943 the suggestion.

988 addresses.
989
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100990 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
991 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
992 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
993 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
994 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
995 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000999 Explicitly send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001000 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
1001 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001002 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001003 this down.

1006 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
1007 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
1008
1009 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
1010
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +00001011 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the

Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001014 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
1015 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
1016 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001017 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilities
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001018 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
1019 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
1020 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
1021 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
1022 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
1023 Gadgil.
1024
1025 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
1026 the above.
1027

1032
1033 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
1034 work even if there is no interface carrying the
1035 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
1036 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
1037 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
1038 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
1039 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +00001041 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
1042 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
1043 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
1044
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001045 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
1046 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001047 preferred lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001048 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
1049 for existing connections, but new connections will use
1050 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
1051 renumbering at least possible.
1052
1053 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001054 acquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +01001063 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001064 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-existent

Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001068 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +01001069 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual

1071 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +01001072 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

1092 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
1093 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001094
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001095 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
1096 which is not the primary address of an interface.
1097
1098 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
1099
1100 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1101 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1102 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1103 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1104 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1105 implementation.
1106
1107 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1108 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1109 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1110 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1111 set them from the make command line.
1112
1113 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1114 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
1115
1116 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1117 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
1118
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +00001119 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
1120 release tags or hash values.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001122 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1123 containing many distinct addresses.
1124
1125 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1126 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1127 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1128 this.
1129
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001130 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1131 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
1132
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001133 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1134 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1135 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1136 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1137
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001138 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1139 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1140 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1141 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001142 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001143 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1144
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001145 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1146 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1147 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1148 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1149 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1150 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1151 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1152 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1153 These will be added as the standards mature.
1154 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1155 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1156 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001157
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001158 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1159 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1160 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1161 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1162 enabling with --enable-ra.
1163
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001164 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1165 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1166 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1167 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001174version 2.59
1175 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1176 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1177 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1178 report.
1179
1180 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1181 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1182 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1183 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1184 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1185 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1186 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1187 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1188 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001189
1190
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001191version 2.58
1192 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1193 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1194
1195 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1196 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1197 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1198
1199 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1200 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1201 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1202 server-deployment applications need this.
1203
1204 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1205 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1206 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1207 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1208 in chasing this one down.
1209
1210 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1211 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1212 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1213 the problem.
1214
1215 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1216 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +00001217 desirable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001218 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1219 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1220 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1221
1222 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1223 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1224 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1225 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1226 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1227 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1228 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1229 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1230
1231 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1232 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1233
1234 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1235 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1236 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1237 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1238
1239 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1240 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1241
1242 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1243 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1244 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1245 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1246 Agrawal for the patch.
1247
1248 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1249 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1250 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1251 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1252 per-network values. So
1253 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1254 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1255 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1256 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1257 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1258 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1259
1260 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1261 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1262 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1263 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1264 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1265 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1266 a comprehensive test-case.
1267
1268 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1269 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001270 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001271
1272 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1273 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1274 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1275 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1276 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001283version 2.57
1284 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1285
1286 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1287 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1288 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1289 effectively empty on Android.
1290
1291 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1292 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1293 wildcard.
1294
1295 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1296 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1297 spotting this.
1298
1299 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1300 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1301 when i18n is included.
1302 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1303
1304 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1305 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1306 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1307
1308
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001309version 2.56
1310 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1311 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1312
1313 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1314 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1315 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1316 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1317
1318 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1319 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1320
1321 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1322 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1323 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1324
1325 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1326 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1327 syslogd.
1328
1329 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1330 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +00001331 Petrin for the original patch.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001332
1333 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1334 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1335 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1336
1337 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1338 option, on the command line.
1339
1340 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1341 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1342
1343 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001344 b) --keep-in-foreground is set. The logging facility on the
1345 other end of stderr can be assumed to supply them. Thanks
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001346 to John Hallam for the patch.
1347
1348 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1349 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1350 character chunks instead.
1351
1352 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1353 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1354 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1355 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1356
1357 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001358 transfer has completed successfully.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001359
1360 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1361 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1362 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1363 which automatically creates
1364 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1365 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1366
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001367 Tighten up syntax checking of hex constants in the config
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001368 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1369
1370 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1371 thanks for that.
1372
1373 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1374 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1375 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1376 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1377 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1378 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1379 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1380 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1381 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1382
1383 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1384 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1385 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1386 set.
1387
1388 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1389 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1390
1391 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1392 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1393 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1394
1395 Edit
1396 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1397 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1398 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1399
1400 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1401 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1402 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1403 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1404 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001405 override this behaviour by defining the semantics if the
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001406 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1407 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1408 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001409 of the address family which doesn't appear in --address
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001410 So:
1411 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1412 --server=/google.com/#
1413 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1414 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1415 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1416 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1417 William for pointing out the need for this.
1418
1419 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1420 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1421 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1422
1423 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1424 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1425 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1426 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1427
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001428 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1438 finding this one.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001439

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001449version 2.53
1450 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1451 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1452
1453 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1454 generated by gcc 4.4.
1455
1456 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1457 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1458
1459 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1460 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1461 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1462
1463 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1464 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1465 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1466 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1467 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1468 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1469 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1470 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1471 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1472 much less confusing.
1473
1474 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1475 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1476 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1477
1478 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1479
1480 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1481
1482 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1483 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1484 finding this.
1485
1486 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1487 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1488 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1489 from the client.
1490
1491 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1492 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1493 finding this.
1494
1495 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1496 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1497 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1498 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1499 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1500 server-override option.
1501
1502 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1503 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1504 allows a single line of the form
1505 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1506 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1507 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1508 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001509 irrespective of the existence or lack of
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001510 interface=<interface>
1511 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1512 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1513 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1514 configuration.
1515
1516 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1517
1518 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1519 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1520
1521 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1522 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1523 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1524 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1525
1526 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1527 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1528 file, not the process/descriptor.
1529
1530 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1531 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1532
1533 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1534 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1535 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1536 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1537 this and testing the fix.
1538
1539 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1540 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1541 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1542
1543 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1544 upstream servers: this allows something like
1545 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1546 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1547 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1548 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1549
1550 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1551 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1552 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1553 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1554 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1555 work on this.
1556
1557 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1558 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1559 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1560 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1561 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1562 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1563 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1564
1565 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1566
1567 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1568 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1569 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1570 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1571 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1572 here.
1573
1574 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1575
1576 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1577 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1578
1579 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1580 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1581 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1582 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1583 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1584
1585 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1586 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1587
1588 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1589 is set.
1590
1591 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1592 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1593
1594 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1595
1596 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1597
1598 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1599
1600 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1601
1602 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1603 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1604 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1605
1606 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1607
1608
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001609version 2.52
1610 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1611 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1612 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1613 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1614 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1615 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1616 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1617 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1618
1619 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1620 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1621 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1622 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1623
1624 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1625 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1626 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1627 when dnsmasq is first started.
1628
1629 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1630 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1631 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1632 with certain clients.
1633
1634 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1635 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1636 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1637
1638 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1639 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1640 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1641 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1642 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1643 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1644 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1645 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1646 numbers delimited by dots.
1647
1648 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1649 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1650
1651 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1652 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1653
1654 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1655 contrib/Solaris10.
1656
1657 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1658 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1659 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1660 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1661 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1662 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1663 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1664
1665 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1666 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1667 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1668 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1669
1670 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1671 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1672 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1673
1674 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1675 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1676 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1677
1678 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1679 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1680 looks like this:
1681 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1682
1683 Add some application specific code to assist in
1684 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1685 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1686
1687 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1688 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1689 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1690 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1691
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001692 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001693 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1694
1695 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1696 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1697 this.
1698
1699 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1700 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1701 providing this.
1702
1703 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1704 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1705
1706 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1707
1708 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1709
1710 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1711
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001712 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1713 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1714 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1715 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001716
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001717
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001718version 2.51
1719 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1720 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1721 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1722 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1723 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1724 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1725 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1726 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1727 suggestion.
1728
1729 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1730 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1731 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1732 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1733 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1734 a DHCP relay, if used.
1735 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1736
1737 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1738 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1739
1740 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1741 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1742 dhcp-option-force.
1743
1744 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1745 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1746 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1747
1748 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1749 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1750 the patch.
1751
1752 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1753
1754 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1755 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1756
1757 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1758 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1759 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1760 suggestion.
1761
1762 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1763 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1764 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1765 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1766 dhcp-optsfile.
1767
1768 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1769 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1770 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1771 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1772 suggestion.
1773
1774 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1775 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1776 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1777 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1778 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1779
1780 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1781 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1782 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1783 fragmented packets.
1784
1785 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1786 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1787
1788 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001792 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001793 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1794 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1795 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1796 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1797 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121

1799
1800 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1801 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1802 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1803 CVE: 2009-2958

1807 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1808 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1809
1810 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1811 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1812 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1813 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1814
1815 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001823 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1824 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1825 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.

1829 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001830
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001831 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1832 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1833 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1834 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001835
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001836 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1837 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001838
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001839 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1840 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1841 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1842 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001843
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001844 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1845 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1846 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001847
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001848 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1849 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1850 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001851
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001852 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001853
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001854 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1855 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1856 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1857 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1858 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1859 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1860 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1861 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1862 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001863
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001864 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1865 useful suggestions.
1866
1867 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1868 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1869 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1870
1871 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1872 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001873
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001874 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1877version 2.47
1878 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1879
1880 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1881 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1882
1883 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1884 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001885 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overridden in CFLAGS.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001886
1887 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1888 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1889 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1890 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1891 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1892 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1893 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1894 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1895 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1896 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1897 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1898 Krafft for the bug report.
1899
1900 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1901
1902 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1903 Fix for this bug:
1904 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1905
1906 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1907 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1908 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1909 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1910
1911 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1912 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1913
1914 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1915
1916 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1917 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1918 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1919 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1920 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1921
1922 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1923 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1924
1925 No longer complain about blank lines in
1926 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1927
1928 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1929 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1930 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1931 for the bug report.
1932
1933 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1934 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1935 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1936 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1937
1938 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1939 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1940 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1941 as before.
1942 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1943 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1944 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1945
1946 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1947 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1948 Windows even when using supernetting.
1949 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1950 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1951 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1952 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1953
1954 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1955
1956 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1957 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1958 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1959 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1960 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1961 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1962 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001963
1964
1965version 2.46
1966 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1967 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1968 suggestion.
1969
1970 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1971 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1972 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1973 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1974 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1975
1976 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1977 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1978 based in their IP address.
1979
1980 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1981 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1982 a domain associated with each client, and only
1983 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1984 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1985 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1986 long as they are in different domains.
1987
1988 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1989 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1990 have now that it's variable.
1991
1992 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1993 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1994 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1995 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1996 potential.
1997
1998 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1999 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
2000 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
2001
2002 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
2003 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
2004
2005 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
2006 which the DHCP request was received.
2007
2008 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
2009 Laine for the patch.
2010
2011 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
2012 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
2013
2014 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
2015 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
2016 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
2017 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
2018 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
2019 address to a host which has two network interfaces
2020 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
2021 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
2022 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
2023 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
2024 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
2025
2026 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
2027 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
2028 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
2029 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
2030 improvement.
2031
2032 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
2033 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
2034 suggestions on this.
2035
2036 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
2037 Fisher.
2038
2039 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2040
2041 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
2042 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
2043
2044 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
2045
2046 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
2047 up" event occurs.
2048
2049
2050version 2.45
2051 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
2052 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
2053 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
2054 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
2055
2056
2057version 2.44
2058 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
2059 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
2060 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
2061
2062 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
2063 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
2064 never been reported in the wild.
2065
2066 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
2067 Jean Wolter for finding this.
2068
2069 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
2070 is large.
2071
2072 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
2073 David Gilman.
2074
2075 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
2076
2077
2078version 2.43
2079 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2080
2081 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
2082 illegally.
2083
2084 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
2085
2086 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
2087 format.
2088
2089 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2090 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2091 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2092 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2093 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
2094
2095 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
2096 Rack for the bug report.
2097
2098 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
2099 Bergquist.
2100
2101 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
2102 option.
2103
2104 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2105 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
2106
2107 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2108 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
2109
2110 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2111 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2112 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2113 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2114 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2115 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2116 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2117 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2118 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2119 suggestions.
2120
2121 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2122 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2123 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2124
2125 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2126 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2127 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2128 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2129 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2130 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2131 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2132 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2133 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2134 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2135
2136 Replace the random number generator, for better
2137 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2138 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2139 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2140 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2141 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2142 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2143
2144 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2145 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2146 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2147 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2148 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2149
2150 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
