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

Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +000010 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
11 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
12 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling.
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +000013
14 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
15 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
16 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +000017
18 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
19 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
20 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
21 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +000022
23 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
24 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +000025
26 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
27 queries which include the specified address. No error is
28 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
29 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
30 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
31 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
32 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +000033
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +000034 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
35 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
36 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
37 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
38 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
39 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
40 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
41 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +010042
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +000043 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
44 to search automatically.
45
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +000046 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
47 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
48 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
49 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
50 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
51 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +000052
53 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
54 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
55 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +000056
57 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
58 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
59 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
60 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +000061
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +000062 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
63 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
64 for the patch.

Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +000066
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +010067version 2.72
Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +010068 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
69
70 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
71 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +010072
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +010073 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
74 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
75 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +010076
77 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
78 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +010079
80 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
81 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +010082
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +010083 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
84 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
85 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
86 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
87 patch.
88
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +010089 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
90 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
91 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
92 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
93 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
94 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
95
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +010096 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
97 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
98 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +010099
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100100 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
101 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100102
103 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
104 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
105 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100106
107 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
108 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.
109
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100110
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100111version 2.71
112 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
113 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
114 non-existent DS records.
115
116 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
117 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
118 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
119 report.
120
121 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
122 for spotting that too.
123
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100124 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
125 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
126 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
127
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100128
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100129version 2.70
130 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
131 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
132 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
133
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100134 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
135 Wang Jian for the bug report.
136
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100137
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000138version 2.69
139 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
140 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
141 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
142 valuable research on how to implement this.
143
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000144 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000145 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000146
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000147 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
148 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
149 for spotting the problem.
150
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000151 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
152 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
153 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
154 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
155 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
156
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000157 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
158 compiled with this enabled, with
159
160 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
161
162 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
163 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
164 statically with
165
166 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
167
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100168 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
169 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
170
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000171 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
172 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
173 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
174 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
175 distribution. You should of course check that these are
176 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
177
178 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
179 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000180
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000181 to your config is all thats needed to get things
182 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
183 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
184 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
185 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
186 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
187 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
188 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
189 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
190 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
191 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
192 records, which significantly improve the performance of
193 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
194 DNSSEC in action.
195
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100196 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
197 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
198 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
199 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
200 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
201 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
202 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
203 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
204 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
205 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
206 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
207 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
208 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
209 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
210 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
211 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
212
213 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
214 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
215 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
216 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
217 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
218 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
219 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
220 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
221 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
222 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
223 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
224 henceforward will be complete.
225
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000226 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
227 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
228 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
229 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
230 a workable state.
231
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000232 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000233
234 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
235 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000236
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000237 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
238 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
239 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000240 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000241 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
242 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
243 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
244 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
245
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000246 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
247 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
248 find this and helping to chase it down.
249
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100250 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
251 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
252 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
253
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100254 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
255 well as logging them.
256
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000257
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000258version 2.68
259 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
260 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
261 addresses.
262
263 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
264 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
265 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
266 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
267 restarted, this bug disappeared.
268
269 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
270 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
271
272 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
273
274 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
275 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
276 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
277 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
278 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
279 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
280 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
281 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
282 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
283 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
284 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
285 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
286 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000287
288 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
289 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
290 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
291 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000292
293 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
294 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
295
296 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
297 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000298
299 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
300 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
301 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
302 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
303 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000304
305 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
306 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
307 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
308 corresponding address on the local interface.
309
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000310
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100311version 2.67
312 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
313 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
314 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100315
316 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
317 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
318 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
319 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
320 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
321 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
322 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
323 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100324
325 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
326 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
327 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100328
329 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
330 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100331
332 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
333 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100334
335 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
336 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
337 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
338 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
339 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
340 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
341 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
342 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100343
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100344 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
345 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
346 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
347 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
348 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100349
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100350 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
351 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
352
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100353 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
354 spurious error when all seven possible items were
355 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100356
357 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
358 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
359
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100360 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
361 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
362
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100363 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
364 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
365 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
366 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
367 report.
368
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100369 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
370 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
371 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.

Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100376 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
377 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
378
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100379 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
380 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
381 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
382 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
383
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100384 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
385 via DBus too.
386
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100387 When the address which triggered the construction of an
388 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
389 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
390 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
391 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
392 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
393 arguing for this.
394
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100395 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
396 for the bug report.

Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100398 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
399 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
400 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
401 for suggesting this.
402
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100403 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
404 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
405
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100406 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
407 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
408 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
409 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
410 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
411
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100412 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net

Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100422 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
423 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
424
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100425 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
426 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
427 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
428 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
429 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100430
431 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
432 address must be either the first or last address in the
433 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
434 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100435

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100450 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
451 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
452
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100453 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
454 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
455 suggestion.
456
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100457 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
458 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
459 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
460 spotting the problem.
461
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100462 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
463 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000466version 2.66
467 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
468 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
469 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
470 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
471 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
472 servers to be configured.
473
474 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
475 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
476 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
477 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
478 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
479 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
480 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
481 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000482
483 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000484 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
485 patch.
486
487 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
488 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
489 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
490 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
491 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
492 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
493 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000494
495 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
496 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
497 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000498
499 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
500 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000501 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000502 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
503 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
504 bounty for this addition.
505
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000506 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
507 information-requests with some common configurations.
508 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
509 chasing the problem.
510
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000511 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
512 patch.
513
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000514 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000515 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000516
517 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
518 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000519
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100520 Handle the situation where libc headers define
521 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
522 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
523 Felker for the bug report.
524
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100525 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100526
527 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
528 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
529 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100530
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100531 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.

Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000534version 2.65
535 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
536 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
537 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
538
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000539 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
540 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000541
542 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000543
544
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100545version 2.64
546 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
547 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
548 spotting the problem.
549
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100550 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
551 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
552 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
553 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
554 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
555 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
556
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100557 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
558 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
559
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100560 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100575 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
576 for the patch.
577
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100578 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
579 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
580 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
581
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100582 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
583 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
584 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
585 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
586
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100587 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
588 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
589 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
590
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100591 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
592 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
593 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
594
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000595 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
596 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
597 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000598
599 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
600 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000601
602 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
603 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
604 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000605
606 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
607 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
608 without setting source address and interface, since this
609 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
610 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

620 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
621
622 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
623 stuff is pointless without that.
624
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100625 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
626 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
627 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100628

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100632 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
633 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
634 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
635 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
636 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
637 superceded by other mechanisms.
638
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100639 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100647 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
648 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
649 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
650 the suggestion.
651
652 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
653 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
654 spotted the ommission.

672
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100673 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
674 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to

676
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100677 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
678 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
679 for spotting this.
680
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100681 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when

686
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100687 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
688 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
689 his help nailing this.
690
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000691version 2.61
692 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
693 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
694 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
695 addresses.
696
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100697 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
698 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
699 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
700 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
701 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
702 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000706 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
707 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct

Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000712 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
713 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
714 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
715
716 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
717
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000718 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
719 suggestion.
720
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000721 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
722 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
723 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
724 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
725 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
726 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
727 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
728 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
729 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
730 Gadgil.
731
732 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
733 the above.
734
735 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
736 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000737 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
738 Forkel.
739
740 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
741 work even if there is no interface carrying the
742 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
743 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
744 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
745 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
746 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000747
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000748 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
749 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
750 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
751
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100752 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
753 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
754 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
755 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
756 for existing connections, but new connections will use
757 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
758 renumbering at least possible.
759
760 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100761 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100770 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
771 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
772 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.

Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100776 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
777 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
778 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100779 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

799 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
800 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100801
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000802 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
803 which is not the primary address of an interface.
804
805 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
806
807 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
808 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
809 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
810 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
811 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
812 implementation.
813
814 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
815 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
816 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
817 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
818 set them from the make command line.
819
820 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
821 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
822
823 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
824 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
825
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000826 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
827 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000828
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000829 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
830 containing many distinct addresses.
831
832 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
833 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
834 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
835 this.
836
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000837 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
838 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
839
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000840 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
841 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
842 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
843 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
844
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000845 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
846 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
847 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
848 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000849 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000850 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
851
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000852 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
853 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
854 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
855 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
856 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
857 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
858 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
859 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
860 These will be added as the standards mature.
861 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
862 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
863 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000864
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000865 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
866 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
867 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
868 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
869 enabling with --enable-ra.
870
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000871 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
872 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
873 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
874 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000875

879
880
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000881version 2.59
882 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
883 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
884 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
885 report.
886
887 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
888 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
889 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
890 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
891 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
892 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
893 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
894 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
895 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100896
897
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100898version 2.58
899 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
900 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
901
902 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
903 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
904 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
905
906 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
907 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
908 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
909 server-deployment applications need this.
910
911 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
912 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
913 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
914 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
915 in chasing this one down.
916
917 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
918 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
919 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
920 the problem.
921
922 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
923 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
924 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
925 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
926 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
927 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
928
929 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
930 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
931 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
932 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
933 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
934 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
935 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
936 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
937
938 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
939 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
940
941 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
942 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
943 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
944 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
945
946 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
947 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
948
949 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
950 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
951 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
952 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
953 Agrawal for the patch.
954
955 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
956 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
957 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
958 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
959 per-network values. So
960 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
961 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
962 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
963 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
964 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
965 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
966
967 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
968 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
969 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
970 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
971 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
972 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
973 a comprehensive test-case.
974
975 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
976 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100977 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100978
979 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
980 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
981 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
982 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
983 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

989
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000990version 2.57
991 Add patches to allow build under Android.
992
993 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
994 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
995 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
996 effectively empty on Android.
997
998 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
999 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1000 wildcard.
1001
1002 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1003 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1004 spotting this.
1005
1006 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1007 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1008 when i18n is included.
1009 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1010
1011 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1012 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1013 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1014
1015
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001016version 2.56
1017 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1018 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1019
1020 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1021 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1022 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1023 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1024
1025 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1026 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1027
1028 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1029 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1030 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1031
1032 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1033 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1034 syslogd.
1035
1036 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1037 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1038 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1039
1040 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1041 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1042 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1043
1044 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1045 option, on the command line.
1046
1047 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1048 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1049
1050 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1051 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1052 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1053 to John Hallam for the patch.
1054
1055 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1056 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1057 character chunks instead.
1058
1059 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1060 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1061 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1062 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1063
1064 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1065 transfer has completed succesfully.
1066
1067 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1068 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1069 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1070 which automatically creates
1071 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1072 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1073
1074 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1075 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1076
1077 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1078 thanks for that.
1079
1080 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1081 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1082 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1083 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1084 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1085 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1086 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1087 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1088 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1089
1090 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1091 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1092 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1093 set.
1094
1095 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1096 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1097
1098 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1099 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1100 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1101
1102 Edit
1103 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1104 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1105 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1106
1107 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1108 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1109 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1110 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1111 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1112 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1113 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1114 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1115 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1116 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1117 So:
1118 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1119 --server=/google.com/#
1120 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1121 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1122 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1123 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1124 William for pointing out the need for this.
1125
1126 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1127 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1128 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1129
1130 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1131 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1132 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1133 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1134
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001135 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001156version 2.53
1157 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1158 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1159
1160 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1161 generated by gcc 4.4.
1162
1163 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1164 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1165
1166 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1167 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1168 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1169
1170 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1171 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1172 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1173 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1174 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1175 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1176 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1177 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1178 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1179 much less confusing.
1180
1181 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1182 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1183 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1184
1185 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1186
1187 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1188
1189 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1190 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1191 finding this.
1192
1193 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1194 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1195 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1196 from the client.
1197
1198 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1199 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1200 finding this.
1201
1202 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1203 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1204 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1205 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1206 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1207 server-override option.
1208
1209 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1210 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1211 allows a single line of the form
1212 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1213 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1214 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1215 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1216 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1217 interface=<interface>
1218 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1219 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1220 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1221 configuration.
1222
1223 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1224
1225 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1226 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1227
1228 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1229 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1230 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1231 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1232
1233 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1234 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1235 file, not the process/descriptor.
1236
1237 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1238 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1239
1240 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1241 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1242 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1243 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1244 this and testing the fix.
1245
1246 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1247 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1248 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1249
1250 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1251 upstream servers: this allows something like
1252 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1253 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1254 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1255 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1256
1257 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1258 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1259 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1260 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1261 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1262 work on this.
1263
1264 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1265 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1266 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1267 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1268 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1269 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1270 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1271
1272 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1273
1274 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1275 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1276 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1277 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1278 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1279 here.
1280
1281 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1282
1283 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1284 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1285
1286 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1287 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1288 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1289 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1290 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1291
1292 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1293 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1294
1295 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1296 is set.
1297
1298 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1299 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1300
1301 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1302
1303 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1304
1305 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1306
1307 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1308
1309 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1310 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1311 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1312
1313 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1314
1315
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001316version 2.52
1317 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1318 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1319 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1320 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1321 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1322 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1323 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1324 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1325
1326 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1327 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1328 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1329 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1330
1331 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1332 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1333 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1334 when dnsmasq is first started.
1335
1336 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1337 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1338 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1339 with certain clients.
1340
1341 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1342 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1343 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1344
1345 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1346 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1347 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1348 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1349 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1350 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1351 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1352 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1353 numbers delimited by dots.
1354
1355 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1356 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1357
1358 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1359 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1360
1361 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1362 contrib/Solaris10.
1363
1364 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1365 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1366 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1367 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1368 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1369 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1370 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1371
1372 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1373 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1374 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1375 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1376
1377 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1378 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1379 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1380
1381 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1382 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1383 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1384
1385 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1386 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1387 looks like this:
1388 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1389
1390 Add some application specific code to assist in
1391 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1392 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1393
1394 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1395 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1396 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1397 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1398
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001399 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001400 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1401
1402 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1403 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1404 this.
1405
1406 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1407 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1408 providing this.
1409
1410 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1411 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1412
1413 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1414
1415 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1416
1417 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1418
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001419 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1420 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1421 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1422 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001423
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001424
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001425version 2.51
1426 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1427 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1428 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1429 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1430 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1431 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1432 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1433 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1434 suggestion.
1435
1436 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1437 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1438 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1439 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1440 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1441 a DHCP relay, if used.
1442 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1443
1444 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1445 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1446
1447 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1448 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1449 dhcp-option-force.
1450
1451 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1452 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1453 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1454
1455 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1456 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1457 the patch.
1458
1459 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1460
1461 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1462 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1463
1464 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1465 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1466 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1467 suggestion.
1468
1469 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1470 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1471 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1472 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1473 dhcp-optsfile.
1474
1475 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1476 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1477 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1478 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1479 suggestion.
1480
1481 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1482 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1483 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1484 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1485 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1486
1487 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1488 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1489 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1490 fragmented packets.
1491
1492 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1493 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1494
1495 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001499 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001500 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1501 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1502 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1503 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1504 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1505 and CVE: 2009-2957
1506
1507 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1508 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1509 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1510 CVE: 2009-2958

1512
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001513version 2.49
1514 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1515 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1516
1517 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1518 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1519 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1520 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1521
1522 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001525version 2.48
1526 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1527 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1528 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001529
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001530 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1531 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1532 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001533
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001534 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1535 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1536 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001537
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001538 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1539 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1540 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1541 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001542
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001543 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1544 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001545
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001546 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1547 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1548 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1549 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001550
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001551 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1552 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1553 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001554
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001555 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1556 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1557 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001558
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001559 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001560
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001561 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1562 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1563 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1564 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1565 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1566 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1567 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1568 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1569 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001570
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001571 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1572 useful suggestions.
1573
1574 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1575 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1576 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1577
1578 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1579 configuration files only.

1584version 2.47
1585 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1586
1587 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1588 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1589
1590 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1591 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1592 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1593
1594 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1595 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1596 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1597 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1598 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1599 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1600 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1601 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1602 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1603 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1604 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1605 Krafft for the bug report.
1606
1607 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1608
1609 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1610 Fix for this bug:
1611 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1612
1613 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1614 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1615 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1616 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1617
1618 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1619 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1620
1621 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1622
1623 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1624 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1625 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1626 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1627 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1628
1629 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1630 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1631
1632 No longer complain about blank lines in
1633 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1634
1635 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1636 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1637 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1638 for the bug report.
1639
1640 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1641 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1642 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1643 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1644
1645 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1646 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1647 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1648 as before.
1649 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1650 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1651 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1652
1653 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1654 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1655 Windows even when using supernetting.
1656 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1657 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1658 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1659 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1660
1661 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1662
1663 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1664 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1665 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1666 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1667 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1668 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1669 dnsmasq.

1671
1672version 2.46
1673 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1674 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1675 suggestion.
1676
1677 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1678 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1679 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1680 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1681 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1682
1683 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1684 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1685 based in their IP address.
1686
1687 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1688 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1689 a domain associated with each client, and only
1690 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1691 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1692 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1693 long as they are in different domains.
1694
1695 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1696 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1697 have now that it's variable.
1698
1699 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1700 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1701 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1702 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1703 potential.
1704
1705 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1706 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1707 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1708
1709 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1710 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1711
1712 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1713 which the DHCP request was received.
1714
1715 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1716 Laine for the patch.
1717
1718 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1719 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1720
1721 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1722 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1723 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1724 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1725 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1726 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1727 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1728 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1729 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1730 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1731 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1732
1733 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1734 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1735 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1736 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1737 improvement.
1738
1739 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1740 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1741 suggestions on this.
1742
1743 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1744 Fisher.
1745
1746 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1747
1748 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1749 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1750
1751 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1752
1753 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1754 up" event occurs.
1755
1756
1757version 2.45
1758 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1759 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1760 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1761 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1762
1763
1764version 2.44
1765 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1766 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1767 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1768
1769 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1770 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1771 never been reported in the wild.
1772
1773 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1774 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1775
1776 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1777 is large.
1778
1779 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1780 David Gilman.
1781
1782 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1783
1784
1785version 2.43
1786 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1787
1788 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1789 illegally.
1790
1791 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1792
1793 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1794 format.
1795
1796 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1797 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1798 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1799 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1800 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1801
1802 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1803 Rack for the bug report.
1804
1805 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1806 Bergquist.
1807
1808 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1809 option.
1810
1811 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1812 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1813
1814 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1815 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1816
1817 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1818 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1819 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1820 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1821 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1822 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1823 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1824 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1825 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1826 suggestions.
1827
1828 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1829 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1830 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1831
1832 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1833 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1834 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1835 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1836 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1837 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1838 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1839 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1840 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1841 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1842
1843 Replace the random number generator, for better
1844 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1845 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1846 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1847 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1848 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1849 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1850
1851 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1852 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1853 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1854 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1855 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1856
1857 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
