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
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +010077 in src/config.h.
78
79 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
80 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
81 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
82 will need to update your config.
83
84 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
85 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +010086

Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +010088version 2.75
89 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
90 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
91 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
92
93
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +010094version 2.74
95 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
96 read the default file, rather than no file.
97
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +010098 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
99 not SEGV in some circumstances.
100
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100101 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
102 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
103 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
104
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100105
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100106version 2.73
107 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
108 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
109 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000110
111 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
112 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
113 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
114
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000115 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
116 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000117 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
118 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
119 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000120
121 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
122 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
123 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000124
125 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
126 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
127 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
128 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000129
130 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
131 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000132
133 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
134 queries which include the specified address. No error is
135 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
136 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
137 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
138 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
139 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000140
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000141 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
142 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
143 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
144 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
145 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
146 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
147 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
148 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100149
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000150 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
151 to search automatically.
152
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000153 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
154 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
155 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
156 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
157 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
158 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000159
160 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
161 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
162 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000163
164 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
165 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
166 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
167 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000168
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000169 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
170 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
171 for the patch.
172
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000173 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000174
175 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100176 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
177 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
178 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
179 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100180
181 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
182 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100183
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100184 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
185 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
186 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
187 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
188 sterling work chasing this down.
189
190 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
191 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100192 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
193 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
194 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100195
196 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
197 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
198 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
199 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
200 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
201 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
202 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
203 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100204
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100205 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
206 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
207 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
208 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
209 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
210 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100211 pointing out the problem.
212
213 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
214 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
215 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100216
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100217 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
218 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
219 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
220 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
221 change permanent.
222
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100223 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
224 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
225
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100226 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
227 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
228
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100229 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
230 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
231 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
232 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100233
234 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
235 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100236
237 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the
238 "on-link" bit set. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
239
240 Extend --bridge-interface to DHCPv6 and router
241 advertisements. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100242
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000243
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100244version 2.72
Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +0100245 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
246
247 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
248 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100249
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100250 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
251 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
252 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100253
254 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
255 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100256
257 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
258 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100259
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100260 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
261 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
262 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
263 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
264 patch.
265
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100266 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
267 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
268 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
269 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
270 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
271 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
272
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100273 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
274 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
275 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +0100276
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100277 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
278 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100279
280 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
281 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
282 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100283
284 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
285 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.
286
Simon Kelleyad4a8ff2015-04-09 21:48:00 +0100287
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100288version 2.71
289 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
290 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
291 non-existent DS records.
292
293 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
294 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
295 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
296 report.
297
298 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
299 for spotting that too.
300
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100301 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
302 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
303 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
304
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100305
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100306version 2.70
307 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
308 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
309 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
310
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100311 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
312 Wang Jian for the bug report.

Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000315version 2.69
316 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
317 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
318 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
319 valuable research on how to implement this.
320
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000321 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000322 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000323
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000324 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
325 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
326 for spotting the problem.
327
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000328 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
329 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
330 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
331 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
332 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
333
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000334 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
335 compiled with this enabled, with
336
337 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
338
339 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
340 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
341 statically with
342
343 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
344
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100345 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
346 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
347
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000348 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
349 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
350 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
351 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
352 distribution. You should of course check that these are
353 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
354
355 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf

Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000358 to your config is all thats needed to get things
359 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
360 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
361 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
362 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
363 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
364 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
365 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
366 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
367 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
368 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
369 records, which significantly improve the performance of
370 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
371 DNSSEC in action.
372
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100373 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
374 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
375 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
376 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
377 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
378 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
379 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
380 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
381 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
382 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
383 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
384 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
385 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
386 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
387 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
388 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
389
390 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
391 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
392 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
393 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
394 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
395 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
396 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
397 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
398 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
399 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
400 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
401 henceforward will be complete.
402
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000403 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
404 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
405 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
406 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
407 a workable state.

Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000414 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
415 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
416 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000417 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000418 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
419 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
420 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
421 being used for DNS amplification attacks.

436 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
437 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
438 addresses.
439
440 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
441 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
442 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
443 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
444 restarted, this bug disappeared.
445
446 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
447 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
448
449 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
450
451 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
452 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
453 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
454 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
455 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
456 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
457 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
458 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
459 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
460 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
461 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
462 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
463 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000464

476 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
477 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
478 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
479 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
480 exists) then we should do it always.

482 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for

493 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
494 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
495 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
496 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
497 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
498 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
499 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
500 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

512 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
513 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
514 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
515 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
516 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
517 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
518 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
519 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

644 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
645 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
646 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
647 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
648 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
649 servers to be configured.
650
651 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
652 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
653 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
654 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
655 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
656 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to

Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100722version 2.64
723 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
724 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
725 spotting the problem.
726
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100727 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
728 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
729 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
730 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
731 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
732 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
733
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100734 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
735 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
736
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100737 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
738 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
739
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100740 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
741 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
742
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000743 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100744 Williams for the patch.
745
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000746 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
747 Roy Marples for the patch.
748
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100749 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
750 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100751
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100752 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
753 for the patch.
754
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100755 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
756 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
757 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
758
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100759 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
760 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
761 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
762 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
763
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100764 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
765 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
766 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
767
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100768 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
769 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
770 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
771
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000772 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
773 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
774 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000775
776 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
777 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000778
779 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
780 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
781 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000782
783 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
784 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
785 without setting source address and interface, since this
786 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
787 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
788
789 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
790 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100791
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000792
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100793version 2.63
794 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
795
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100796 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
797 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
798
799 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
800 stuff is pointless without that.
801
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100802 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
803 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
804 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100805
806 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
807 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100808
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100809 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
810 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
811 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
812 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
813 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
814 superceded by other mechanisms.
815
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100816 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
817 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
818
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100819 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
820 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
821
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100822 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100823
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100824 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
825 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
826 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
827 the suggestion.
828
829 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
830 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
831 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100832
833 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100834
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100835 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
836 which overrides the default,
837 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
838 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
839
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100840 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
841 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
842
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100843
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100844version 2.62
845 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
846
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100847 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
848 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
849
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100850 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
851 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
852 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
853
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100854 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
855 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
856 for spotting this.
857
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100858 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
859 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
860 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
861
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100862 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
863
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100864 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
865 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
866 his help nailing this.
867
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000868version 2.61
869 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
870 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
871 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
872 addresses.
873
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100874 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
875 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
876 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
877 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
878 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
879 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000880
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000881 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
882
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000883 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
884 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
885 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100886 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000887 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000888
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000889 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
890 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
891 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
892
893 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
894
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000895 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
896 suggestion.
897
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000898 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
899 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
900 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
901 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
902 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
903 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
904 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
905 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
906 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
907 Gadgil.
908
909 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
910 the above.
911
912 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
913 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000914 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
915 Forkel.
916
917 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
918 work even if there is no interface carrying the
919 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
920 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
921 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
922 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
923 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000924
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000925 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
926 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
927 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
928
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100929 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
930 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
931 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
932 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
933 for existing connections, but new connections will use
934 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
935 renumbering at least possible.
936
937 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100938 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100939
940 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
941 using the settings provided for DHCP options
942 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +0100943

Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100946
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100947 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
948 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
949 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100950
951 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP

Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100953 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
954 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
955 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100956 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
957
958 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +0100959

966 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
967 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the

976 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
977 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100978
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000979 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
980 which is not the primary address of an interface.
981
982 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
983
984 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
985 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
986 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
987 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
988 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
989 implementation.
990
991 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
992 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
993 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
994 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
995 set them from the make command line.
996
997 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
998 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
999
1000 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1001 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
1002
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +00001003 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
1004 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001005
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001006 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1007 containing many distinct addresses.
1008
1009 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1010 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1011 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1012 this.
1013
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001014 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1015 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
1016
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001017 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1018 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1019 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1020 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1021
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001022 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1023 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1024 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1025 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001026 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001027 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1028
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001029 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1030 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1031 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1032 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1033 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1034 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1035 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1036 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1037 These will be added as the standards mature.
1038 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1039 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1040 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001041
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001042 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1043 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1044 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1045 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1046 enabling with --enable-ra.
1047
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001048 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1049 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1050 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1051 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +00001052
1053 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +00001055 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1056
1057
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001058version 2.59
1059 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1060 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1061 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1062 report.
1063
1064 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1065 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1066 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1067 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1068 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1069 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1070 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1071 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1072 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001075version 2.58
1076 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1077 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1078
1079 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1080 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1081 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1082
1083 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1084 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1085 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1086 server-deployment applications need this.
1087
1088 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1089 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1090 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1091 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1092 in chasing this one down.
1093
1094 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1095 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1096 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1097 the problem.
1098
1099 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1100 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1101 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1102 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1103 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1104 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1105
1106 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1107 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1108 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1109 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1110 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1111 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1112 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1113 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1114
1115 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1116 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1117
1118 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1119 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1120 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1121 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1122
1123 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1124 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1125
1126 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1127 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1128 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1129 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1130 Agrawal for the patch.
1131
1132 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1133 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1134 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1135 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1136 per-network values. So
1137 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1138 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1139 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1140 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1141 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1142 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1143
1144 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1145 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1146 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1147 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1148 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1149 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1150 a comprehensive test-case.
1151
1152 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1153 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001154 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001155
1156 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1157 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1158 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1159 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1160 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
1161
1162 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
1163
1164 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1165
1166
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001167version 2.57
1168 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1169
1170 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1171 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1172 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1173 effectively empty on Android.
1174
1175 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1176 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1177 wildcard.
1178
1179 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1180 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1181 spotting this.
1182
1183 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1184 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1185 when i18n is included.
1186 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1187
1188 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1189 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1190 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1191
1192
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001193version 2.56
1194 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1195 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1196
1197 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1198 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1199 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1200 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1201
1202 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1203 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1204
1205 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1206 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1207 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1208
1209 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1210 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1211 syslogd.
1212
1213 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1214 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1215 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1216
1217 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1218 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1219 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1220
1221 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1222 option, on the command line.
1223
1224 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1225 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1226
1227 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1228 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1229 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1230 to John Hallam for the patch.
1231
1232 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1233 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1234 character chunks instead.
1235
1236 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1237 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1238 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1239 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1240
1241 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1242 transfer has completed succesfully.
1243
1244 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1245 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1246 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1247 which automatically creates
1248 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1249 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1250
1251 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1252 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1253
1254 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1255 thanks for that.
1256
1257 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1258 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1259 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1260 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1261 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1262 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1263 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1264 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1265 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1266
1267 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1268 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1269 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1270 set.
1271
1272 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1273 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1274
1275 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1276 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1277 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1278
1279 Edit
1280 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1281 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1282 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1283
1284 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1285 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1286 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1287 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1288 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1289 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1290 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1291 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1292 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1293 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1294 So:
1295 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1296 --server=/google.com/#
1297 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1298 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1299 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1300 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1301 William for pointing out the need for this.
1302
1303 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1304 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1305 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1306
1307 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1308 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1309 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1310 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1311
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001312 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1334 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1335 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1336
1337 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1338 generated by gcc 4.4.
1339
1340 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1341 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1342
1343 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1344 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1345 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1346
1347 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1348 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1349 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1350 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1351 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1352 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1353 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1354 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1355 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1356 much less confusing.
1357
1358 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1359 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1360 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1361
1362 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1363
1364 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1365
1366 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1367 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1368 finding this.
1369
1370 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1371 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1372 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1373 from the client.
1374
1375 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1376 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1377 finding this.
1378
1379 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1380 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1381 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1382 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1383 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1384 server-override option.
1385
1386 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1387 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1388 allows a single line of the form
1389 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1390 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1391 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1392 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1393 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1394 interface=<interface>
1395 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1396 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1397 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1398 configuration.
1399
1400 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1401
1402 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1403 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1404
1405 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1406 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1407 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1408 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1409
1410 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1411 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1412 file, not the process/descriptor.
1413
1414 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1415 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1416
1417 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1418 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1419 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1420 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1421 this and testing the fix.
1422
1423 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1424 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1425 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1426
1427 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1428 upstream servers: this allows something like
1429 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1430 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1431 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1432 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1433
1434 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1435 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1436 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1437 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1438 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1439 work on this.
1440
1441 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1442 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1443 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1444 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1445 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1446 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1447 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1448
1449 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1450
1451 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1452 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1453 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1454 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1455 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1456 here.
1457
1458 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1459
1460 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1461 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1462
1463 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1464 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1465 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1466 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1467 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1468
1469 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1470 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1471
1472 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1473 is set.
1474
1475 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1476 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1477
1478 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1479

1481
1482 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1483
1484 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1485
1486 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1487 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1488 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1489
1490 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1492
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001493version 2.52
1494 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1495 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1496 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1497 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1498 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1499 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1500 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1501 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1502
1503 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1504 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1505 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1506 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1507
1508 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1509 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1510 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1511 when dnsmasq is first started.
1512
1513 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1514 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1515 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1516 with certain clients.
1517
1518 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1519 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1520 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1521
1522 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1523 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1524 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1525 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1526 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1527 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1528 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1529 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1530 numbers delimited by dots.
1531
1532 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1533 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1534
1535 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1536 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1537
1538 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1539 contrib/Solaris10.
1540
1541 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1542 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1543 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1544 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1545 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1546 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1547 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1548
1549 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1550 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1551 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1552 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1553
1554 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1555 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1556 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1557
1558 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1559 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1560 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1561
1562 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1563 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1564 looks like this:
1565 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1566
1567 Add some application specific code to assist in
1568 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1569 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1570
1571 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1572 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1573 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1574 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1575
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001576 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001577 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1578
1579 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1580 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1581 this.
1582
1583 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1584 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1585 providing this.
1586
1587 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1588 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1589
1590 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1591
1592 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1593
1594 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1595
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001596 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1597 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1598 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1599 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001600
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001601
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001602version 2.51
1603 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1604 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1605 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1606 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1607 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1608 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1609 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1610 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1611 suggestion.
1612
1613 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1614 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1615 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1616 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1617 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1618 a DHCP relay, if used.
1619 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1620
1621 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1622 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1623
1624 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1625 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1626 dhcp-option-force.
1627
1628 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1629 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1630 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1631
1632 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1633 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1634 the patch.
1635
1636 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1637
1638 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1639 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1640
1641 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1642 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1643 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1644 suggestion.
1645
1646 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1647 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1648 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1649 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1650 dhcp-optsfile.
1651
1652 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1653 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1654 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1655 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1656 suggestion.
1657
1658 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1659 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1660 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1661 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1662 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1663
1664 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1665 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1666 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1667 fragmented packets.
1668
1669 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1670 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1671
1672 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001675version 2.50
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001676 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001677 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1678 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1679 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1680 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1681 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1682 and CVE: 2009-2957
1683
1684 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1685 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1686 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1687 CVE: 2009-2958
1688
1689
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001690version 2.49
1691 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1692 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1693
1694 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1695 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1696 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1697 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1698
1699 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001702version 2.48
1703 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1704 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1705 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001706
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001707 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1708 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1709 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001710
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001711 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1712 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1713 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001714
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001715 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1716 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1717 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1718 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001719
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001720 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1721 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001722
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001723 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1724 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1725 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1726 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001727
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001728 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1729 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1730 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001731
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001732 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1733 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1734 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001735
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001736 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001737
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001738 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1739 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1740 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1741 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1742 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1743 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1744 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1745 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1746 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001747
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001748 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1749 useful suggestions.
1750
1751 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1752 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1753 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1754
1755 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1756 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001757
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001758 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001760
1761version 2.47
1762 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1763
1764 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1765 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1766
1767 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1768 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1769 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1770
1771 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1772 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1773 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1774 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1775 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1776 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1777 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1778 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1779 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1780 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1781 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1782 Krafft for the bug report.
1783
1784 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1785
1786 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1787 Fix for this bug:
1788 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1789
1790 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1791 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1792 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1793 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1794
1795 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1796 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1797
1798 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1799
1800 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1801 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1802 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1803 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1804 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1805
1806 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1807 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1808
1809 No longer complain about blank lines in
1810 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1811
1812 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1813 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1814 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1815 for the bug report.
1816
1817 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1818 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1819 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1820 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1821
1822 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1823 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1824 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1825 as before.
1826 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1827 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1828 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1829
1830 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1831 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1832 Windows even when using supernetting.
1833 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1834 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1835 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1836 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1837
1838 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1839
1840 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1841 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1842 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1843 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1844 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1845 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1846 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001847
1848
1849version 2.46
1850 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1851 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1852 suggestion.
1853
1854 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1855 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1856 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1857 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1858 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1859
1860 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1861 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1862 based in their IP address.
1863
1864 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1865 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1866 a domain associated with each client, and only
1867 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1868 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1869 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1870 long as they are in different domains.
1871
1872 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1873 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1874 have now that it's variable.
1875
1876 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1877 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1878 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1879 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1880 potential.
1881
1882 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1883 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1884 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1885
1886 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1887 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1888
1889 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1890 which the DHCP request was received.
1891
1892 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1893 Laine for the patch.
1894
1895 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1896 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1897
1898 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1899 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1900 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1901 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1902 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1903 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1904 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1905 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1906 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1907 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1908 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1909
1910 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1911 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1912 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1913 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1914 improvement.
1915
1916 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1917 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1918 suggestions on this.
1919
1920 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1921 Fisher.
1922
1923 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1924
1925 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1926 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1927
1928 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1929
1930 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1931 up" event occurs.
1932
1933
1934version 2.45
1935 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1936 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1937 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1938 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1939
1940
1941version 2.44
1942 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1943 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1944 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1945
1946 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1947 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1948 never been reported in the wild.
1949
1950 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1951 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1952
1953 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1954 is large.
1955
1956 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1957 David Gilman.
1958
1959 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1960

1962version 2.43
1963 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1964
1965 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1966 illegally.
1967
1968 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1969
1970 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1971 format.
1972
1973 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1974 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1975 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1976 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1977 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1978
1979 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1980 Rack for the bug report.
1981
1982 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1983 Bergquist.
1984
1985 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1986 option.
1987
1988 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1989 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1990
1991 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1992 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1993
1994 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1995 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1996 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1997 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1998 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1999 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2000 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2001 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2002 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2003 suggestions.
2004
2005 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2006 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2007 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2008
2009 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2010 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2011 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2012 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2013 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2014 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2015 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2016 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2017 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2018 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2019
2020 Replace the random number generator, for better
2021 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2022 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2023 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2024 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2025 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2026 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2027
2028 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2029 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2030 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2031 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2032 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2033
2034 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
