Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +01001version 2.76
2 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
3 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
4 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
5 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
6 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +01007
8 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
9 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +010010
11 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
12 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
13 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
14 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
15
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +000016 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
17 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
18 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
19 the patch.
20
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +000021 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
22 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
23 for the patch.
24
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +000025 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
26 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
27 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
28 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
29 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
30
31 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
32 not SERVFAIL.
33
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +000034 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
35 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000036
37 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
38 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
39 removal of entries in the ARP or nieghbour tables.
40
41 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
42 as base64, by configurting --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000043
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000044 Add --add-cpe-id option.
45
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000046 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
47 is declared as a whole /64.
48 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
49 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
50
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +000051 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
52 --cname.
53
54 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000055
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +000056 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
57 initial patch.
58
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +010059 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
60 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
61 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
62 for spotting this.
63
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +010064 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
65 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
66 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
67
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +010068 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
69 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
70
71 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
72 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
73
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +010074 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
75 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
76 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
77 in src/config.h.
78
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +000079
Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +010080version 2.75
81 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
82 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
83 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
84
85
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +010086version 2.74
87 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
88 read the default file, rather than no file.
89
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +010090 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
91 not SEGV in some circumstances.
92
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +010093 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
94 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
95 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
96
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +010097
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +010098version 2.73
99 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
100 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
101 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000102
103 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
104 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
105 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
106
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000107 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
108 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000109 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
110 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
111 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000112
113 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
114 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
115 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000116
117 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
118 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
119 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
120 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000121
122 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
123 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000124
125 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
126 queries which include the specified address. No error is
127 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
128 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
129 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
130 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
131 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000132
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000133 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
134 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
135 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
136 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
137 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
138 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
139 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
140 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100141
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000142 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
143 to search automatically.
144
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000145 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
146 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
147 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
148 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
149 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
150 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000151
152 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
153 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
154 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000155
156 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
157 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
158 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
159 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000160
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000161 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
162 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
163 for the patch.
164
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000165 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000166
167 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100168 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
169 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
170 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
171 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100172
173 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
174 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100175
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100176 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
177 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
178 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
179 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
180 sterling work chasing this down.
181
182 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
183 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100184 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
185 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
186 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100187
188 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
189 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
190 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
191 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
192 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
193 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
194 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
195 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100196
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100197 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
198 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
199 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
200 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
201 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
202 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100203 pointing out the problem.
204
205 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
206 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
207 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100208
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100209 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
210 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
211 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
212 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
213 change permanent.
214
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100215 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
216 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
217
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100218 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
219 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
220
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100221 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
222 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
223 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
224 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100225
226 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
227 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100228
229 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the
230 "on-link" bit set. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
231
232 Extend --bridge-interface to DHCPv6 and router
233 advertisements. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100234
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000235
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100236version 2.72
Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +0100237 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
238
239 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
240 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100241
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100242 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
243 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
244 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100245
246 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
247 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100248
249 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
250 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100251
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100252 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
253 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
254 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
255 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
256 patch.
257
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100258 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
259 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
260 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
261 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
262 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
263 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
264
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100265 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
266 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
267 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +0100268
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100269 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
270 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100271
272 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
273 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
274 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100275
276 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
277 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.
278
Simon Kelleyad4a8ff2015-04-09 21:48:00 +0100279
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100280version 2.71
281 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
282 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
283 non-existent DS records.
284
285 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
286 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
287 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
288 report.
289
290 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
291 for spotting that too.
292
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100293 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
294 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
295 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
296
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100297
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100298version 2.70
299 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
300 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
301 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
302
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100303 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
304 Wang Jian for the bug report.

Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100306
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000307version 2.69
308 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
309 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
310 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
311 valuable research on how to implement this.
312
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000313 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000314 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000315
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000316 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
317 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
318 for spotting the problem.
319
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000320 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
321 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
322 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
323 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
324 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
325
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000326 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
327 compiled with this enabled, with
328
329 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
330
331 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
332 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
333 statically with
334
335 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
336
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100337 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
338 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
339
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000340 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
341 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
342 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
343 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
344 distribution. You should of course check that these are
345 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
346
347 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
348 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000349
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000350 to your config is all thats needed to get things
351 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
352 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
353 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
354 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
355 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
356 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
357 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
358 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
359 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
360 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
361 records, which significantly improve the performance of
362 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
363 DNSSEC in action.
364
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100365 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
366 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
367 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
368 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
369 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
370 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
371 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
372 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
373 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
374 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
375 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
376 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
377 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
378 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
379 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
380 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
381
382 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
383 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
384 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
385 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
386 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
387 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
388 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
389 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
390 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
391 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
392 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
393 henceforward will be complete.
394
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000395 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
396 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
397 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
398 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
399 a workable state.
400
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000401 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000402
403 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
404 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000405
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000406 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
407 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
408 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000409 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000410 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
411 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
412 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
413 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
414
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000415 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
416 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
417 find this and helping to chase it down.
418
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100419 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
420 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
421 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
422
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100423 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
424 well as logging them.

Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000427version 2.68
428 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
429 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
430 addresses.
431
432 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
433 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
434 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
435 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
436 restarted, this bug disappeared.
437
438 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
439 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
440
441 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
442
443 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
444 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
445 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
446 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
447 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
448 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
449 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
450 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
451 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
452 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
453 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
454 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
455 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000456
457 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
458 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
459 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
460 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000461
462 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
463 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
464
465 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
466 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000467
468 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
469 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
470 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
471 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
472 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000473
474 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
475 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
476 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
477 corresponding address on the local interface.

482 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
483 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100484
485 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
486 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
487 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
488 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
489 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
490 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
491 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
492 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100493
494 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass

501 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
502 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100503
504 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
505 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
506 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
507 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
508 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
509 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
510 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
511 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100512
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100513 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket

515 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
516 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
517 bug report.

531
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100532 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
533 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
534 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
535 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
536 report.

Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100548 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
549 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
550 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
551 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
552
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100553 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
554 via DBus too.
555
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100556 When the address which triggered the construction of an
557 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
558 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
559 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
560 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
561 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
562 arguing for this.
563

Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100572 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface

574
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100575 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
576 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
577 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
578 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)

593
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100594 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
595 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
596 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
597 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
598 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100599
600 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
601 address must be either the first or last address in the
602 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
603 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000635version 2.66
636 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
637 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
638 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
639 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
640 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
641 servers to be configured.
642
643 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
644 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
645 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
646 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
647 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
648 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
649 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
650 this idea.

656 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
657 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
658 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
659 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
660 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
661 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
662 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.

Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000670 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000671 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
672 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a

718
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100719 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
720 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
721 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would

723 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
724 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.

746
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100747 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
748 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
749 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
750
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100751 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
752 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
753 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
754 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
755
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100756 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
757 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
758 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
759
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100760 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
761 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
762 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
763
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000764 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM

771 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
772 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
773 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000774
775 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
776 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
777 without setting source address and interface, since this
778 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
779 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

789 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
790
791 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
792 stuff is pointless without that.
793
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100794 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
795 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
796 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100797

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100801 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
802 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
803 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
804 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
805 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
806 superceded by other mechanisms.
807
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100808 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
809 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100816 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
817 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
818 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
819 the suggestion.
820
821 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
822 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
823 spotted the ommission.

841
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100842 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router

845
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100846 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
847 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
848 for spotting this.
849
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100850 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
851 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
852 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
853
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100854 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
855
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100856 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
857 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
858 his help nailing this.
859
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000860version 2.61
861 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
862 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
863 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
864 addresses.
865
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100866 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
867 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
868 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
869 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
870 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
871 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000872
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000873 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
874
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000875 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
876 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
877 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100878 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000879 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000880
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000881 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
882 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
883 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
884
885 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
886
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000887 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
888 suggestion.
889
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000890 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
891 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
892 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
893 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
894 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
895 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
896 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
897 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
898 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
899 Gadgil.
900
901 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
902 the above.
903
904 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
905 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can

907 Forkel.
908
909 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
910 work even if there is no interface carrying the
911 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
912 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
913 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
914 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
915 the idea and initial patch.

918 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
919 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
920
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100921 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
922 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
923 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
924 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
925 for existing connections, but new connections will use
926 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
927 renumbering at least possible.
928
929 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100930 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000971 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
972 which is not the primary address of an interface.
973
974 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
975
976 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
977 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
978 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
979 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
980 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
981 implementation.
982
983 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
984 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
985 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
986 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
987 set them from the make command line.
988
989 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
990 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
991
992 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
993 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

999 containing many distinct addresses.
1000
1001 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1002 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1003 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1004 this.
1005
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001006 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1007 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
1008
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001009 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1010 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1011 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1012 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1013
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001014 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1015 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1016 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1017 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001018 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001019 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1020
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001021 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1022 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1023 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1024 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1025 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1026 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1027 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1028 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1029 These will be added as the standards mature.
1030 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1031 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1032 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001033
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001034 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1035 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1036 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1037 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1038 enabling with --enable-ra.
1039
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001040 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1041 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1042 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1043 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

1051 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1052 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1053 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1054 report.
1055
1056 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1057 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1058 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1059 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1060 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1061 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1062 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1063 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1064 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

1072 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1073 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1074
1075 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1076 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1077 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1078 server-deployment applications need this.
1079
1080 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1081 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1082 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1083 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1084 in chasing this one down.
1085
1086 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1087 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1088 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1089 the problem.
1090
1091 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1092 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1093 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1094 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1095 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1096 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1097
1098 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1099 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1100 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1101 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1102 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1103 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1104 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1105 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1106
1107 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1108 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1109
1110 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1111 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1112 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1113 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1114
1115 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1116 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1117
1118 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1119 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1120 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1121 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1122 Agrawal for the patch.
1123
1124 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1125 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1126 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1127 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1128 per-network values. So
1129 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1130 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1131 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1132 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1133 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1134 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1135
1136 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1137 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1138 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1139 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1140 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1141 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1142 a comprehensive test-case.
1143
1144 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1145 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001146 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001147
1148 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1149 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1150 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1151 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1152 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
1153
1154 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001159version 2.57
1160 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1161
1162 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1163 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1164 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1165 effectively empty on Android.
1166
1167 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1168 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1169 wildcard.
1170
1171 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1172 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1173 spotting this.
1174
1175 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1176 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1177 when i18n is included.
1178 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1179
1180 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1181 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1182 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1183
1184
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001185version 2.56
1186 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1187 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1188
1189 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1190 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1191 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1192 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1193
1194 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1195 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1196
1197 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1198 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1199 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1200
1201 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1202 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1203 syslogd.
1204
1205 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1206 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1207 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1208
1209 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1210 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1211 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1212
1213 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1214 option, on the command line.
1215
1216 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1217 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1218
1219 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1220 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1221 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1222 to John Hallam for the patch.
1223
1224 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1225 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1226 character chunks instead.
1227
1228 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1229 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1230 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1231 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1232
1233 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1234 transfer has completed succesfully.
1235
1236 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1237 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1238 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1239 which automatically creates
1240 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1241 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1242
1243 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1244 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1245
1246 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1247 thanks for that.
1248
1249 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1250 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1251 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1252 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1253 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1254 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1255 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1256 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1257 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1258
1259 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1260 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1261 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1262 set.
1263
1264 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1265 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1266
1267 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1268 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1269 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1270
1271 Edit
1272 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1273 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1274 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1275
1276 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1277 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1278 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1279 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1280 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1281 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1282 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1283 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1284 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1285 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1286 So:
1287 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1288 --server=/google.com/#
1289 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1290 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1291 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1292 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1293 William for pointing out the need for this.
1294
1295 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1296 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1297 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1298
1299 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1300 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1301 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1302 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1303
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001304 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1326 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1327 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1328
1329 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1330 generated by gcc 4.4.
1331
1332 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1333 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1334
1335 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1336 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1337 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1338
1339 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1340 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1341 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1342 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1343 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1344 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1345 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1346 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1347 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1348 much less confusing.
1349
1350 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1351 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1352 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1353
1354 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1355
1356 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1357
1358 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1359 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1360 finding this.
1361
1362 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1363 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1364 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1365 from the client.
1366
1367 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1368 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1369 finding this.
1370
1371 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1372 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1373 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1374 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1375 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1376 server-override option.
1377
1378 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1379 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1380 allows a single line of the form
1381 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1382 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1383 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1384 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1385 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1386 interface=<interface>
1387 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1388 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1389 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1390 configuration.
1391
1392 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1393
1394 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1395 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1396
1397 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1398 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1399 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1400 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1401
1402 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1403 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1404 file, not the process/descriptor.
1405
1406 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1407 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1408
1409 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1410 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1411 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1412 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1413 this and testing the fix.
1414
1415 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1416 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1417 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1418
1419 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1420 upstream servers: this allows something like
1421 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1422 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1423 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1424 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1425
1426 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1427 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1428 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1429 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1430 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1431 work on this.
1432
1433 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1434 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1435 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1436 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1437 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1438 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1439 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1440
1441 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1442
1443 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1444 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1445 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1446 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1447 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1448 here.
1449
1450 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1451
1452 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1453 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1454
1455 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1456 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1457 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1458 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1459 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1460
1461 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1462 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1463
1464 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1465 is set.
1466
1467 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1468 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.

1476 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1477
1478 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1479 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1480 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1481
1482 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1484
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001485version 2.52
1486 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1487 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1488 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1489 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1490 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1491 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1492 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1493 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1494
1495 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1496 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1497 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1498 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1499
1500 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1501 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1502 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1503 when dnsmasq is first started.
1504
1505 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1506 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1507 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1508 with certain clients.
1509
1510 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1511 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1512 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1513
1514 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1515 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1516 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1517 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1518 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1519 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1520 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1521 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1522 numbers delimited by dots.
1523
1524 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1525 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1526
1527 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1528 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1529
1530 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1531 contrib/Solaris10.
1532
1533 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1534 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1535 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1536 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1537 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1538 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1539 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1540
1541 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1542 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1543 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1544 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1545
1546 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1547 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1548 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1549
1550 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1551 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1552 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1553
1554 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1555 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1556 looks like this:

1559 Add some application specific code to assist in
1560 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1561 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1562
1563 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1564 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1565 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1566 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1567
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001568 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001569 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1570
1571 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1572 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1573 this.
1574
1575 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1576 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1577 providing this.
1578
1579 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1580 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1581
1582 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1583
1584 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1585
1586 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1587
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001588 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1589 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1590 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1591 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001592
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001593
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001594version 2.51
1595 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1596 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1597 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1598 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1599 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1600 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1601 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1602 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1603 suggestion.
1604
1605 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1606 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1607 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1608 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1609 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1610 a DHCP relay, if used.
1611 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1612
1613 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1614 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1615
1616 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1617 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1618 dhcp-option-force.
1619
1620 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1621 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1622 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1623
1624 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1625 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1626 the patch.
1627
1628 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1629
1630 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1631 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1632
1633 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1634 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1635 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1636 suggestion.
1637
1638 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1639 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1640 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1641 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1642 dhcp-optsfile.
1643
1644 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1645 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1646 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1647 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1648 suggestion.
1649
1650 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1651 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1652 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1653 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1654 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1655
1656 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1657 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1658 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1659 fragmented packets.
1660
1661 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1662 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1663
1664 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001668 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001669 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1670 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1671 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1672 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1673 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1674 and CVE: 2009-2957
1675
1676 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1677 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1678 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1679 CVE: 2009-2958

1681
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001682version 2.49
1683 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1684 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1685
1686 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1687 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1688 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1689 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1690
1691 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1693
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001694version 2.48
1695 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1696 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1697 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001698
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001699 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1700 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1701 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001702
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001703 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1704 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1705 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001706
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001707 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1708 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1709 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1710 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001711
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001712 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1713 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001714
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001715 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1716 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1717 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1718 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001719
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001720 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1721 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1722 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001723
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001724 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1725 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1726 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001727
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001728 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001729
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001730 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1731 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1732 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1733 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1734 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1735 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1736 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1737 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1738 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001739
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001740 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1741 useful suggestions.
1742
1743 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1744 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1745 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1746
1747 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1748 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001749
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001750 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001751
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001752
1753version 2.47
1754 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1755
1756 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1757 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1758
1759 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1760 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1761 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1762
1763 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1764 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1765 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1766 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1767 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1768 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1769 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1770 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1771 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1772 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1773 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1774 Krafft for the bug report.
1775
1776 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1777
1778 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1779 Fix for this bug:
1780 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1781
1782 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1783 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1784 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1785 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1786
1787 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1788 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1789
1790 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1791
1792 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1793 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1794 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1795 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1796 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1797
1798 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1799 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1800
1801 No longer complain about blank lines in
1802 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1803
1804 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1805 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1806 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1807 for the bug report.
1808
1809 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1810 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1811 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1812 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1813
1814 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1815 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1816 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1817 as before.
1818 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1819 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1820 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1821
1822 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1823 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1824 Windows even when using supernetting.
1825 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1826 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1827 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1828 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1829
1830 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1831
1832 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1833 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1834 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1835 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1836 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1837 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1838 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001839
1840
1841version 2.46
1842 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1843 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1844 suggestion.
1845
1846 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1847 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1848 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1849 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1850 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1851
1852 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1853 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1854 based in their IP address.
1855
1856 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1857 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1858 a domain associated with each client, and only
1859 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1860 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1861 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1862 long as they are in different domains.
1863
1864 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1865 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1866 have now that it's variable.
1867
1868 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1869 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1870 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1871 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1872 potential.
1873
1874 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1875 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1876 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1877
1878 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1879 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1880
1881 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1882 which the DHCP request was received.
1883
1884 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1885 Laine for the patch.
1886
1887 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1888 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1889
1890 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1891 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1892 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1893 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1894 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1895 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1896 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1897 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1898 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1899 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1900 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1901
1902 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1903 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1904 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1905 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1906 improvement.
1907
1908 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1909 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1910 suggestions on this.
1911
1912 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1913 Fisher.
1914
1915 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1916
1917 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1918 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1919
1920 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1921
1922 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1923 up" event occurs.
1924
1925
1926version 2.45
1927 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1928 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1929 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1930 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1931
1932
1933version 2.44
1934 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1935 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1936 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1937
1938 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1939 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1940 never been reported in the wild.
1941
1942 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1943 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1944
1945 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1946 is large.
1947
1948 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1949 David Gilman.
1950
1951 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1952
1953
1954version 2.43
1955 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1956
1957 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1958 illegally.
1959
1960 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1961
1962 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1963 format.
1964
1965 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1966 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1967 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1968 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1969 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1970
1971 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1972 Rack for the bug report.
1973
1974 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1975 Bergquist.
1976
1977 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1978 option.
1979
1980 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1981 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1982
1983 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1984 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1985
1986 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1987 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1988 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1989 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1990 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1991 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1992 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1993 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1994 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1995 suggestions.
1996
1997 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1998 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1999 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2000
2001 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2002 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2003 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2004 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2005 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2006 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2007 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2008 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2009 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2010 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2011
2012 Replace the random number generator, for better
2013 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2014 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2015 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2016 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2017 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2018 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2019
2020 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2021 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2022 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2023 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2024 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
