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.
17
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.
Floris Bos60704f52017-04-09 22:22:49 +010082
83 Allow use of MAC addresses with --tftp-unique-root. Thanks
84 to Floris Bos for the patch.
Simon Kelleyfca008d2017-02-19 18:50:41 +000085
Simon Kelley88a77a72017-02-11 17:02:02 +000086
Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +010087version 2.76
88 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
89 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
90 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
91 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
92 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +010093
94 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
95 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +010096
97 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
98 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
99 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
100 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
101
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +0000102 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
103 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
104 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
105 the patch.
106
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +0000107 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
108 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
109 for the patch.
110
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +0000111 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
112 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
113 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
114 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
115 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
116
117 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
118 not SERVFAIL.
119
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +0000120 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
121 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000122
123 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
124 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000125 removal of entries in the ARP or neighbour tables.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000126
127 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000128 as base64, by configuring --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000129
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000130 Add --add-cpe-id option.
131
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000132 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
133 is declared as a whole /64.
134 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
135 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
136
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +0000137 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
138 --cname.
139
140 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000141
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000142 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
143 initial patch.
144
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +0100145 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
146 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
147 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
148 for spotting this.
149
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +0100150 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
151 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
152 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
153
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +0100154 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
155 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
156
157 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
158 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
159
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100160 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
161 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
162 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +0100163 in src/config.h.
164
165 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
166 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
167 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
168 will need to update your config.
169
170 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
171 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100172
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100173 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
174 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
175 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000176 work with these architectures.
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100177
178 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
179 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
180 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
181 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
182 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
183 single-item boot menu.
184
185 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
186 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
187
Simon Kelleyda2cad42016-05-18 15:14:08 +0100188 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
189 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
190 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
191 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
192 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
193 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
194 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
195 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
196 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
197 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
198 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
199 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
200 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
201 have a config with a basename which already has a
202 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
203 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
204 name.suffix
205
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000206
Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +0100207version 2.75
208 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
209 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
210 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
211
212
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +0100213version 2.74
214 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
215 read the default file, rather than no file.
216
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100217 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
218 not SEGV in some circumstances.
219
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100220 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
221 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
222 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
223
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100224
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100225version 2.73
226 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
227 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
228 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000229
230 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
231 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
232 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
233
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000234 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
235 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000236 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
237 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
238 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000239
240 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
241 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
242 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000243
244 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
245 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
246 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
247 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000248
249 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
250 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000251
252 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
253 queries which include the specified address. No error is
254 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
255 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
256 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
257 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
258 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000259
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000260 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
261 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
262 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
263 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
264 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
265 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
266 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
267 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100268
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000269 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
270 to search automatically.
271
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000272 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
273 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
274 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
275 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
276 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000277 floor of one hour. Thanks to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000278
279 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
280 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
281 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000282
283 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
284 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
285 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
286 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000287
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000288 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
289 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
290 for the patch.
291
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000292 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000293
294 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100295 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
296 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
297 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
298 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100299
300 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
301 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100302
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100303 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
304 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
305 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
306 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
307 sterling work chasing this down.
308
309 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
310 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100311 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
312 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
313 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100314
315 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
316 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
317 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
318 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
319 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
320 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
321 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
322 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100323
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100324 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
325 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
326 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
327 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
328 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
329 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100330 pointing out the problem.
331
332 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
333 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
334 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100335
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100336 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
337 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
338 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
339 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
340 change permanent.
341
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100342 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
343 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
344
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100345 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
346 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
347
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100348 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
349 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
350 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
351 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100352
353 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
354 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100355
356 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the

Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000379 When assigning existing DHCP leases to interfaces by comparing
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100380 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
381 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
382 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
383 patch.
384
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100385 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
386 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
387 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
388 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
389 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
390 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
391
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100392 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So

408 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
409 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
410 non-existent DS records.
411

Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000443 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
444 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
445 for spotting the problem.
446
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000447 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
448 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
449 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
450 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
451 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
452
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000453 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
454 compiled with this enabled, with
455
456 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
457
458 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
459 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
460 statically with
461
462 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
463
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100464 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
465 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
466
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000467 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
468 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
469 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
470 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
471 distribution. You should of course check that these are
472 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
473
474 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
475 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000476
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +0000477 to your config is all that's needed to get things
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000478 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
479 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
480 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
481 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
482 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
483 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
484 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
485 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
486 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
487 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
488 records, which significantly improve the performance of
489 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
490 DNSSEC in action.
491
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100492 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
493 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
494 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
495 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
496 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
497 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
498 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
499 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
500 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
501 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
502 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
503 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
504 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
505 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
506 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
507 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
508
509 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
510 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
511 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
512 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
513 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
514 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
515 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
516 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
517 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
518 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
519 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
520 henceforward will be complete.
521
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000522 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
523 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
524 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
525 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
526 a workable state.
527
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000528 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.

Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000533 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
534 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
535 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000536 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000537 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
538 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
539 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
540 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
541
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000542 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs

544 find this and helping to chase it down.
545
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100546 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The

555 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
556 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
557 addresses.
558
559 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
560 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
561 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
562 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
563 restarted, this bug disappeared.
564
565 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
566 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
567
568 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
569
570 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
571 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
572 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
573 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000574 work-around which exempted constructed DHCP ranges from the
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000575 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
576 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
577 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000578 constructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000579 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
580 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
581 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
582 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000583
584 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
585 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
586 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
587 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000588

593 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000594
595 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
596 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
597 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
598 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
599 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000600
601 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for

610 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100611
612 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
613 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
614 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
615 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
616 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
617 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
618 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
619 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100630
631 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
632 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
633 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
634 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
635 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
636 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
637 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
638 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100659 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
660 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
661 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
662 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug

Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100675 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN

682
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100683 When the address which triggered the construction of an
684 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
685 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
686 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
687 things work better if a prefix disappears without being

713
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100714 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
715 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
716 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
717
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100718 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
719 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
720
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100721 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
722 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
723 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
724 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
725 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100726
727 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
728 address must be either the first or last address in the
729 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
730 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100731
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100732 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100742 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100743 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
744 for sponsoring this feature.

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100746 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
747 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
748
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100749 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
750 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
751 suggestion.
752
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100753 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000754 as eligible for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100755 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
756 spotting the problem.
757

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000762version 2.66
763 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
764 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
765 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
766 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
767 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
768 servers to be configured.
769
770 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
771 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
772 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
773 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
774 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
775 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
776 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
777 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000778
779 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000780 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
781 patch.
782
783 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
784 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
785 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
786 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
787 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
788 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
789 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000790
791 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
792 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
793 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000794
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000795 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBSCRIBER_ID,
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000796 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000797 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000798 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
799 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
800 bounty for this addition.
801
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000802 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
803 information-requests with some common configurations.
804 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
805 chasing the problem.
806
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000807 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
808 patch.
809
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000810 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000811 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000812
813 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
814 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000815
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100816 Handle the situation where libc headers define
817 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
818 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
819 Felker for the bug report.
820

824 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
825 the bug report.

Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000830version 2.65
831 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
832 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
833 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
834
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000835 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
836 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.

840
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100841version 2.64
842 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
843 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
844 spotting the problem.
845
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100846 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
847 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
848 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000849 generate a warning. Now that only happens if there is not
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100850 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
851 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
852
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100853 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

855
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100856 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in

873
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100874 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000875 infinite loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100876 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
877
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100878 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
879 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
880 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
881 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
882
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100883 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
884 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
885 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
886
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100887 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
888 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
889 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
890
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000891 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM

Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000901
902 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
903 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
904 without setting source address and interface, since this
905 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
906 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

917
918 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
919 stuff is pointless without that.
920
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100921 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100928 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
929 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
930 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
931 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
932 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +0000933 superseded by other mechanisms.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100943 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time

945 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
946 the suggestion.

949 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000950 spotted the omission.

Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000987version 2.61
988 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use

990 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
991 addresses.
992
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100993 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
994 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
995 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
996 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
997 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
998 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001002 Explicitly send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001003 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
1004 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001005 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001006 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +00001007

1009 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
1010 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
1011
1012 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
1013
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +00001014 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the

Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001017 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
1018 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
1019 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001020 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilities
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001021 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
1022 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
1023 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
1024 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
1025 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
1026 Gadgil.
1027
1028 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
1029 the above.

1036 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
1037 work even if there is no interface carrying the
1038 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
1039 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
1040 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
1041 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
1042 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +00001044 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
1045 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
1046 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
1047
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001048 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
1049 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001050 preferred lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001051 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
1052 for existing connections, but new connections will use
1053 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
1054 renumbering at least possible.
1055
1056 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001057 acquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +01001066 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001067 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-existent

Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001071 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +01001072 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual

1074 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +01001075 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001098 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
1099 which is not the primary address of an interface.
1100
1101 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
1102
1103 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1104 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1105 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1106 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1107 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1108 implementation.
1109
1110 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1111 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1112 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1113 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1114 set them from the make command line.
1115
1116 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1117 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
1118
1119 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1120 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
1121

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001125 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1126 containing many distinct addresses.
1127
1128 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1129 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1130 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1131 this.
1132
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001133 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1134 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
1135
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001136 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1137 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1138 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1139 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1140
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001141 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1142 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1143 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1144 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001145 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001146 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1147
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001148 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1149 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1150 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1151 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1152 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1153 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1154 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1155 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1156 These will be added as the standards mature.
1157 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1158 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1159 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001160
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001161 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1162 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1163 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1164 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1165 enabling with --enable-ra.
1166
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001167 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1168 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1169 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1170 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

1176
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001177version 2.59
1178 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1179 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1180 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1181 report.
1182
1183 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1184 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1185 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1186 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1187 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1188 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1189 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1190 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1191 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001192
1193
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001194version 2.58
1195 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1196 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1197
1198 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1199 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1200 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1201
1202 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1203 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1204 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1205 server-deployment applications need this.
1206
1207 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1208 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1209 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1210 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1211 in chasing this one down.
1212
1213 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1214 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1215 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1216 the problem.
1217
1218 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1219 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +00001220 desirable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001221 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1222 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1223 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1224
1225 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1226 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1227 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1228 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1229 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1230 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1231 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1232 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1233
1234 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1235 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1236
1237 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1238 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1239 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1240 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1241
1242 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1243 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1244
1245 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1246 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1247 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1248 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1249 Agrawal for the patch.
1250
1251 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1252 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1253 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1254 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1255 per-network values. So
1256 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1257 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1258 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1259 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1260 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1261 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1262
1263 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1264 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1265 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1266 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1267 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1268 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1269 a comprehensive test-case.
1270
1271 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1272 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001273 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001274
1275 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1276 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1277 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1278 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1279 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001286version 2.57
1287 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1288
1289 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1290 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1291 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1292 effectively empty on Android.
1293
1294 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1295 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1296 wildcard.
1297
1298 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1299 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1300 spotting this.
1301
1302 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1303 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1304 when i18n is included.
1305 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1306
1307 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1308 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1309 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.

1311
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001312version 2.56
1313 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1314 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1315
1316 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1317 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1318 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1319 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1320
1321 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1322 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1323
1324 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1325 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1326 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1327
1328 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1329 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1330 syslogd.
1331
1332 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1333 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +00001334 Petrin for the original patch.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001335
1336 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1337 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1338 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1339
1340 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1341 option, on the command line.
1342
1343 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1344 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1345
1346 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001347 b) --keep-in-foreground is set. The logging facility on the
1348 other end of stderr can be assumed to supply them. Thanks
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001349 to John Hallam for the patch.
1350
1351 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1352 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1353 character chunks instead.
1354
1355 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1356 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1357 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1358 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1359
1360 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001361 transfer has completed successfully.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001362
1363 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1364 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1365 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1366 which automatically creates
1367 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1368 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1369
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001370 Tighten up syntax checking of hex constants in the config
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001371 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1372
1373 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1374 thanks for that.
1375
1376 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1377 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1378 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1379 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1380 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1381 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1382 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1383 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1384 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1385
1386 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1387 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1388 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1389 set.
1390
1391 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1392 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1393
1394 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1395 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1396 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1397
1398 Edit
1399 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1400 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1401 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1402
1403 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1404 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1405 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1406 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1407 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001408 override this behaviour by defining the semantics if the
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001409 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1410 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1411 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001412 of the address family which doesn't appear in --address
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001413 So:
1414 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1415 --server=/google.com/#
1416 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1417 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1418 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1419 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1420 William for pointing out the need for this.
1421
1422 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1423 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1424 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1425
1426 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1427 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1428 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1429 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1430
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001431 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1441 finding this one.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001442

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001452version 2.53
1453 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1454 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1455
1456 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1457 generated by gcc 4.4.
1458
1459 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1460 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1461
1462 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1463 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1464 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1465
1466 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1467 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1468 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1469 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1470 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1471 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1472 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1473 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1474 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1475 much less confusing.
1476
1477 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1478 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1479 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1480
1481 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1482
1483 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1484
1485 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1486 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1487 finding this.
1488
1489 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1490 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1491 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1492 from the client.
1493
1494 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1495 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1496 finding this.
1497
1498 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1499 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1500 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1501 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1502 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1503 server-override option.
1504
1505 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1506 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1507 allows a single line of the form
1508 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1509 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1510 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1511 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001512 irrespective of the existence or lack of
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001513 interface=<interface>
1514 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1515 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1516 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1517 configuration.
1518
1519 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1520
1521 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1522 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1523
1524 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1525 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1526 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1527 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1528
1529 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1530 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1531 file, not the process/descriptor.
1532
1533 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1534 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1535
1536 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1537 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1538 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1539 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1540 this and testing the fix.
1541
1542 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1543 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1544 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1545
1546 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1547 upstream servers: this allows something like
1548 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1549 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1550 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1551 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1552
1553 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1554 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1555 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1556 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1557 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1558 work on this.
1559
1560 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1561 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1562 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1563 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1564 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1565 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1566 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1567
1568 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1569
1570 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1571 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1572 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1573 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1574 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1575 here.
1576
1577 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1578
1579 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1580 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1581
1582 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1583 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1584 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1585 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1586 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1587
1588 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1589 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1590
1591 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1592 is set.
1593
1594 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1595 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1596
1597 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1598
1599 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1600
1601 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1602
1603 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1604
1605 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1606 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1607 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1608
1609 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1610
1611
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001612version 2.52
1613 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1614 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1615 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1616 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1617 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1618 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1619 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1620 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1621
1622 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1623 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1624 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1625 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1626
1627 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1628 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1629 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1630 when dnsmasq is first started.
1631
1632 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1633 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1634 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1635 with certain clients.
1636
1637 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1638 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1639 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1640
1641 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1642 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1643 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1644 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1645 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1646 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1647 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1648 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1649 numbers delimited by dots.
1650
1651 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1652 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1653
1654 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1655 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1656
1657 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1658 contrib/Solaris10.
1659
1660 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1661 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1662 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1663 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1664 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1665 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1666 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1667
1668 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1669 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1670 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1671 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1672
1673 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1674 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1675 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1676
1677 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1678 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1679 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1680
1681 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1682 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1683 looks like this:
1684 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1685
1686 Add some application specific code to assist in
1687 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1688 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1689
1690 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1691 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1692 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1693 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1694
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001695 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001696 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1697
1698 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1699 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1700 this.
1701
1702 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1703 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1704 providing this.
1705
1706 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1707 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1708
1709 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1710
1711 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1712
1713 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1714
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001715 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1716 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1717 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1718 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001719
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001720
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001721version 2.51
1722 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1723 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1724 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1725 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1726 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1727 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1728 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1729 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1730 suggestion.
1731
1732 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1733 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1734 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1735 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1736 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1737 a DHCP relay, if used.
1738 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1739
1740 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1741 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1742
1743 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1744 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1745 dhcp-option-force.
1746
1747 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1748 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1749 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1750
1751 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1752 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1753 the patch.
1754
1755 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1756
1757 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1758 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1759
1760 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1761 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1762 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1763 suggestion.
1764
1765 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1766 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1767 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1768 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1769 dhcp-optsfile.
1770
1771 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1772 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1773 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1774 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1775 suggestion.
1776
1777 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1778 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1779 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1780 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1781 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1782
1783 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1784 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1785 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1786 fragmented packets.
1787
1788 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1789 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1790
1791 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001795 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001796 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1797 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1798 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1799 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1800 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121

1802
1803 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1804 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1805 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1806 CVE: 2009-2958

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001809version 2.49
1810 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1811 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1812
1813 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1814 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1815 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1816 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1817
1818 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001826 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1827 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1828 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001830 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1831 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1832 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001833
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001834 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1835 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1836 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1837 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001838
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001839 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1840 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001841
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001842 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1843 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1844 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1845 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001846
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001847 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1848 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1849 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001850
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001851 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1852 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1853 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001854
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001855 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001856
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001857 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1858 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1859 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1860 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1861 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1862 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1863 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1864 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1865 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001866
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001867 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1868 useful suggestions.
1869
1870 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1871 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1872 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1873
1874 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1875 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001876
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001877 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1880version 2.47
1881 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1882
1883 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1884 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1885
1886 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1887 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001888 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overridden in CFLAGS.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001889
1890 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1891 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1892 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1893 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1894 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1895 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1896 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1897 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1898 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1899 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1900 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1901 Krafft for the bug report.
1902
1903 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1904
1905 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1906 Fix for this bug:
1907 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1908
1909 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1910 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1911 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1912 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1913
1914 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1915 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1916
1917 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1918
1919 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1920 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1921 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1922 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1923 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1924
1925 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1926 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1927
1928 No longer complain about blank lines in
1929 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1930
1931 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1932 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1933 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1934 for the bug report.
1935
1936 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1937 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1938 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1939 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1940
1941 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1942 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1943 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1944 as before.
1945 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1946 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1947 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1948
1949 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1950 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1951 Windows even when using supernetting.
1952 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1953 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1954 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1955 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1956
1957 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1958
1959 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1960 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1961 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1962 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1963 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1964 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1965 dnsmasq.

1967
1968version 2.46
1969 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1970 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1971 suggestion.
1972
1973 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1974 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1975 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1976 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1977 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1978
1979 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1980 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1981 based in their IP address.
1982
1983 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1984 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1985 a domain associated with each client, and only
1986 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1987 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1988 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1989 long as they are in different domains.
1990
1991 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1992 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1993 have now that it's variable.
1994
1995 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1996 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1997 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1998 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1999 potential.
2000
2001 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
2002 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
2003 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
2004
2005 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
2006 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
2007
2008 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
2009 which the DHCP request was received.
2010
2011 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
2012 Laine for the patch.
2013
2014 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
2015 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
2016
2017 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
2018 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
2019 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
2020 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
2021 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
2022 address to a host which has two network interfaces
2023 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
2024 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
2025 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
2026 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
2027 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
2028
2029 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
2030 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
2031 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
2032 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
2033 improvement.
2034
2035 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
2036 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
2037 suggestions on this.
2038
2039 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
2040 Fisher.
2041
2042 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2043
2044 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
2045 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
2046
2047 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
2048
2049 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
2050 up" event occurs.
2051
2052
2053version 2.45
2054 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
2055 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
2056 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
2057 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
2058
2059
2060version 2.44
2061 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
2062 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
2063 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
2064
2065 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
2066 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
2067 never been reported in the wild.
2068
2069 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
2070 Jean Wolter for finding this.
2071
2072 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
2073 is large.
2074
2075 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
2076 David Gilman.
2077
2078 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
2079
2080
2081version 2.43
2082 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2083
2084 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
2085 illegally.
2086
2087 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
2088
2089 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
2090 format.
2091
2092 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2093 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2094 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2095 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2096 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
2097
2098 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
2099 Rack for the bug report.
2100
2101 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
2102 Bergquist.
2103
2104 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
2105 option.
2106
2107 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2108 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
2109
2110 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2111 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
2112
2113 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2114 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2115 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2116 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2117 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2118 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2119 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2120 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2121 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2122 suggestions.
2123
2124 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2125 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2126 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2127
2128 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2129 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2130 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2131 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2132 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2133 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2134 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2135 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2136 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2137 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2138
2139 Replace the random number generator, for better
2140 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2141 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2142 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2143 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2144 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2145 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2146
2147 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2148 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2149 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2150 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2151 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2152
2153 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
