Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +01001version 2.63
2 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
3
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +01004 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
5 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
6
7 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
8 stuff is pointless without that.
9
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +010010 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
11 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
12 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +010013
14 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
15 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +010016
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +010017 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
18 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
19 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
20 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
21 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
22 superceded by other mechanisms.
23
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +010024 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
25 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
26
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +010027 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
28 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
29
30 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be anothe --cname.
31
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +010032
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +010033version 2.62
34 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
35
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +010036 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
37 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
38
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +010039 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
40 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
41 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
42
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +010043 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
44 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
45 for spotting this.
46
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +010047 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
48 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
49 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
50
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +010051 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
52
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +010053 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
54 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
55 his help nailing this.
56
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +010057
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +000058version 2.61
59 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
60 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
61 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
62 addresses.
63
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +010064 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
65 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
66 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
67 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
68 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
69 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +000070
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +000071 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
72
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000073 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
74 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
75 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +010076 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000077 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +000078
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000079 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
80 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
81 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
82
83 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
84
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +000085 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
86 suggestion.
87
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +000088 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
89 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
90 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
91 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
92 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
93 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
94 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
95 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
96 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
97 Gadgil.
98
99 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
100 the above.
101
102 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
103 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000104 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
105 Forkel.
106
107 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
108 work even if there is no interface carrying the
109 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
110 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
111 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
112 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
113 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000114
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000115 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
116 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
117 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
118
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100119 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
120 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
121 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
122 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
123 for existing connections, but new connections will use
124 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
125 renumbering at least possible.
126
127 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100128 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100129
130 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
131 using the settings provided for DHCP options
132 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +0100133
134 Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
135 SamLT for work on this.
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100136
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100137 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
138 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
139 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100140
141 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100142 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100143 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
144 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
145 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100146 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
147
148 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +0100149
150 Give correct from-cache answers to explict CNAME queries.
151 Thanks to Rob Zwissler for spotting this.
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100152
Simon Kelleyfc92ead2012-04-22 21:28:24 +0100153 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100154 patch.
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100155
156 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
157 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100158 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100159 Ene for the patch.
Simon Kelley19d69be2012-04-27 10:14:34 +0100160
161 Fix failure of TFTP over IPv4 on OpenBSD platform. Thanks
162 to Brad Smith for spotting this.
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100163
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100164
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000165version 2.60
166 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
167 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100168
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000169 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
170 which is not the primary address of an interface.
171
172 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
173
174 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
175 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
176 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
177 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
178 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
179 implementation.
180
181 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
182 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
183 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
184 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
185 set them from the make command line.
186
187 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
188 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
189
190 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
191 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
192
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000193 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
194 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000195
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000196 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
197 containing many distinct addresses.
198
199 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
200 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
201 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
202 this.
203
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000204 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
205 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
206
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000207 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
208 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
209 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
210 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
211
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000212 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
213 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
214 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
215 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000216 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000217 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
218
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000219 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
220 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
221 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
222 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
223 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
224 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
225 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
226 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
227 These will be added as the standards mature.
228 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
229 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
230 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000231
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000232 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
233 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
234 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
235 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
236 enabling with --enable-ra.
237
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000238 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
239 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
240 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
241 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000242
243 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000244
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000245 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
246
247
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000248version 2.59
249 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
250 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
251 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
252 report.
253
254 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
255 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
256 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
257 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
258 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
259 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
260 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
261 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
262 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100263
264
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100265version 2.58
266 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
267 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
268
269 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
270 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
271 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
272
273 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
274 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
275 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
276 server-deployment applications need this.
277
278 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
279 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
280 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
281 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
282 in chasing this one down.
283
284 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
285 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
286 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
287 the problem.
288
289 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
290 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
291 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
292 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
293 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
294 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
295
296 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
297 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
298 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
299 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
300 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
301 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
302 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
303 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
304
305 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
306 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
307
308 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
309 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
310 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
311 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
312
313 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
314 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
315
316 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
317 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
318 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
319 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
320 Agrawal for the patch.
321
322 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
323 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
324 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
325 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
326 per-network values. So
327 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
328 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
329 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
330 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
331 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
332 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
333
334 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
335 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
336 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
337 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
338 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
339 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
340 a comprehensive test-case.
341
342 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
343 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
344 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
345
346 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
347 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
348 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
349 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
350 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
351
352 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
353
354 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
355
356
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000357version 2.57
358 Add patches to allow build under Android.
359
360 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
361 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
362 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
363 effectively empty on Android.
364
365 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
366 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
367 wildcard.
368
369 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
370 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
371 spotting this.
372
373 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
374 IDN support continues to be included automatically
375 when i18n is included.
376 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
377
378 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
379 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
380 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
381
382
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000383version 2.56
384 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
385 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
386
387 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
388 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
389 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
390 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
391
392 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
393 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
394
395 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
396 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
397 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
398
399 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
400 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
401 syslogd.
402
403 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
404 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
405 Petrin for the orignal patch.

407 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
408 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
409 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
410
411 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
412 option, on the command line.
413
414 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
415 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
416
417 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
418 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
419 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
420 to John Hallam for the patch.
421
422 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
423 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
424 character chunks instead.
425
426 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
427 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
428 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
429 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
430
431 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
432 transfer has completed succesfully.
433
434 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
435 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
436 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
437 which automatically creates
438 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
439 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
440
441 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
442 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
443
444 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
445 thanks for that.
446
447 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
448 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
449 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
450 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
451 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
452 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
453 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
454 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
455 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
456
457 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
458 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
459 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
460 set.
461
462 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
463 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
464
465 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
466 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
467 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
468
469 Edit
470 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
471 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
472 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
473
474 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
475 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
476 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
477 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
478 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
479 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
480 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
481 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
482 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
483 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
484 So:
485 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
486 --server=/google.com/#
487 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
488 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
489 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
490 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
491 William for pointing out the need for this.
492
493 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
494 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
495 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
496
497 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
498 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
499 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
500 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

524 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
525 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
526
527 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
528 generated by gcc 4.4.
529
530 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
531 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
532
533 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
534 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
535 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
536
537 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
538 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
539 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
540 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
541 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
542 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
543 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
544 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
545 the documentation and new-style config files should be
546 much less confusing.
547
548 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
549 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
550 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
551
552 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
553
554 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
555
556 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
557 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
558 finding this.
559
560 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
561 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
562 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
563 from the client.
564
565 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
566 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
567 finding this.
568
569 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
570 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
571 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
572 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
573 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
574 server-override option.
575
576 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
577 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
578 allows a single line of the form
579 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
580 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
581 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
582 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
583 irrespective of the existance or lack of
584 interface=<interface>
585 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
586 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
587 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
588 configuration.
589
590 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
591
592 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
593 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
594
595 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
596 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
597 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
598 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
599
600 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
601 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
602 file, not the process/descriptor.
603
604 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
605 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
606
607 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
608 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
609 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
610 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
611 this and testing the fix.
612
613 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
614 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
615 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
616
617 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
618 upstream servers: this allows something like
619 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
620 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
621 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
622 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
623
624 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
625 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
626 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
627 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
628 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
629 work on this.
630
631 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
632 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
633 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
634 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
635 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
636 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
637 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
638
639 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
640
641 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
642 than one server available for a domain, eg.
643 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
644 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
645 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
646 here.
647
648 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
649
650 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
651 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
652
653 Fix regression which caused configuration like
654 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
655 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
656 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
657 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
658
659 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
660 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
661
662 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
663 is set.
664
665 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
666 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
667

677 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
678 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
679
680 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
681
682
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000683version 2.52
684 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
685 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
686 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
687 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
688 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
689 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
690 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
691 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
692
693 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
694 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
695 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
696 necessary for some *WRT distros.
697
698 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
699 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
700 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
701 when dnsmasq is first started.
702
703 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
704 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
705 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
706 with certain clients.
707
708 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
709 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
710 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
711
712 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
713 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
714 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
715 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
716 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
717 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
718 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
719 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
720 numbers delimited by dots.
721
722 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
723 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
724
725 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
726 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
727
728 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
729 contrib/Solaris10.
730
731 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
732 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
733 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
734 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
735 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
736 addresses available in such an installation removes a
737 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
738
739 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
740 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
741 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
742 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
743
744 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
745 the lease-change script in the environment variable
746 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
747
748 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
749 Options". The syntax looks like this:
750 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
751
752 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
753 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
754 looks like this:
755 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
756
757 Add some application specific code to assist in
758 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
759 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
760
761 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
762 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
763 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
764 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
765
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100766 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000767 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
768
769 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
770 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
771 this.
772
773 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
774 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
775 providing this.
776

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100786 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
787 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
788 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
789 finding and analysing the problem.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100792version 2.51
793 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
794 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
795 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
796 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
797 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
798 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
799 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
800 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
801 suggestion.
802
803 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
804 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
805 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
806 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
807 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
808 a DHCP relay, if used.
809 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
810
811 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
812 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
813
814 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
815 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
816 dhcp-option-force.
817
818 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
819 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
820 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
821
822 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
823 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
824 the patch.
825
826 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
827
828 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
829 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
830
831 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
832 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
833 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
834 suggestion.
835
836 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
837 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
838 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
839 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
840 dhcp-optsfile.
841
842 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
843 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
844 is retried. This should improve performance when there
845 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
846 suggestion.
847
848 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
849 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
850 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
851 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
852 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
853
854 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
855 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
856 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
857 fragmented packets.
858
859 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
860 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
861

882 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
883
884 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
885 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
886 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100905 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
906 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
907 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
908 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000909
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100910 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
911 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000912
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100913 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
914 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
915 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
916 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000917
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100918 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
919 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
920 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000921
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100922 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
923 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
924 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000925
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100926 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000927
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100928 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
929 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
930 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
931 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
932 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
933 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
934 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
935 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
936 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000937
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100938 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
939 useful suggestions.
940
941 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
942 this, edit src/config.h or build with
943 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
944
945 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
946 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +0100947
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100948 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

951version 2.47
952 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
953
954 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
955 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
956
957 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
958 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
959 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
960
961 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
962 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
963 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
964 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
965 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
966 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
967 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
968 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
969 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
970 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
971 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
972 Krafft for the bug report.
973
974 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
975
976 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
977 Fix for this bug:
978 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
979
980 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
981 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
982 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
983 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
984
985 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
986 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
987
988 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
989
990 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
991 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
992 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
993 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
994 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
995
996 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
997 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
998
999 No longer complain about blank lines in
1000 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1001
1002 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1003 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1004 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1005 for the bug report.
1006
1007 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1008 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1009 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1010 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1011
1012 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1013 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1014 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1015 as before.
1016 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1017 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1018 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1019
1020 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1021 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1022 Windows even when using supernetting.
1023 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1024 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1025 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1026 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1027
1028 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1029
1030 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1031 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1032 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1033 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1034 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1035 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1036 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001037
1038
1039version 2.46
1040 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1041 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1042 suggestion.
1043
1044 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1045 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1046 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1047 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1048 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1049
1050 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1051 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1052 based in their IP address.
1053
1054 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1055 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1056 a domain associated with each client, and only
1057 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1058 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1059 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1060 long as they are in different domains.
1061
1062 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1063 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1064 have now that it's variable.
1065
1066 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1067 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1068 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1069 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1070 potential.
1071
1072 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1073 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1074 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1075
1076 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1077 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1078
1079 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1080 which the DHCP request was received.
1081
1082 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1083 Laine for the patch.
1084
1085 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1086 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1087
1088 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1089 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1090 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1091 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1092 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1093 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1094 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1095 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1096 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1097 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1098 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1099
1100 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1101 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1102 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1103 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1104 improvement.
1105
1106 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1107 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1108 suggestions on this.
1109
1110 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1111 Fisher.
1112
1113 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1114
1115 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1116 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1117
1118 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1119
1120 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1121 up" event occurs.
1122
1123
1124version 2.45
1125 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1126 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1127 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1128 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1129
1130
1131version 2.44
1132 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1133 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1134 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1135
1136 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1137 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1138 never been reported in the wild.
1139
1140 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1141 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1142
1143 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1144 is large.
1145
1146 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1147 David Gilman.
1148
1149 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1150
1151
1152version 2.43
1153 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1154
1155 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1156 illegally.
1157
1158 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1159
1160 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1161 format.
1162
1163 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1164 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1165 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1166 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1167 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1168
1169 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1170 Rack for the bug report.
1171
1172 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1173 Bergquist.
1174
1175 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1176 option.
1177
1178 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1179 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1180
1181 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1182 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1183
1184 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1185 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1186 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1187 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1188 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1189 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1190 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1191 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1192 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1193 suggestions.
1194
1195 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1196 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1197 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1198
1199 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1200 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1201 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1202 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1203 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1204 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1205 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1206 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1207 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1208 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1209
1210 Replace the random number generator, for better
1211 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1212 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1213 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1214 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1215 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1216 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1217
1218 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1219 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1220 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1221 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1222 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1223
1224 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
