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 Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +000074
Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +010075version 2.75
76 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
77 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
78 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
79
80
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +010081version 2.74
82 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
83 read the default file, rather than no file.
84
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +010085 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
86 not SEGV in some circumstances.
87
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +010088 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
89 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
90 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
91
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +010092
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +010093version 2.73
94 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
95 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
96 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +000097
98 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
99 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
100 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
101
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000102 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
103 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000104 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
105 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
106 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000107
108 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
109 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
110 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000111
112 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
113 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
114 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
115 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000116
117 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
118 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000119
120 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
121 queries which include the specified address. No error is
122 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
123 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
124 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
125 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
126 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000127
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000128 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
129 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
130 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
131 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
132 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
133 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
134 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
135 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100136
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000137 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
138 to search automatically.
139
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000140 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
141 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
142 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
143 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
144 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
145 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000146
147 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
148 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
149 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000150
151 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
152 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
153 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
154 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000155
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000156 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
157 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
158 for the patch.
159
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000160 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000161
162 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100163 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
164 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
165 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
166 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100167
168 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
169 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100170
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100171 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
172 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
173 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
174 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
175 sterling work chasing this down.
176
177 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
178 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100179 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
180 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
181 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100182
183 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
184 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
185 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
186 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
187 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
188 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
189 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
190 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100191
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100192 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
193 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
194 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
195 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
196 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
197 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100198 pointing out the problem.
199
200 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
201 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
202 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100203
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100204 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
205 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
206 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
207 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
208 change permanent.
209
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100210 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
211 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
212
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100213 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
214 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
215
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100216 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
217 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
218 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
219 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100220
221 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
222 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100223
224 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the
225 "on-link" bit set. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
226
227 Extend --bridge-interface to DHCPv6 and router
228 advertisements. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100229
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000230
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100231version 2.72
Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +0100232 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
233
234 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
235 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100236
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100237 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
238 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
239 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100240
241 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
242 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100243
244 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
245 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100246
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100247 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
248 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
249 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
250 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
251 patch.
252
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100253 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
254 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
255 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
256 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
257 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
258 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
259
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100260 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
261 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
262 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +0100263
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100264 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
265 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100266
267 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
268 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
269 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100270
271 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
272 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.
273
Simon Kelleyad4a8ff2015-04-09 21:48:00 +0100274
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100275version 2.71
276 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
277 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
278 non-existent DS records.
279
280 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
281 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
282 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
283 report.
284
285 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
286 for spotting that too.
287
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100288 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
289 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
290 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
291
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100292
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100293version 2.70
294 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
295 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
296 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
297
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100298 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
299 Wang Jian for the bug report.

Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000302version 2.69
303 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
304 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
305 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
306 valuable research on how to implement this.
307
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000308 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000309 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000310
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000311 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
312 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
313 for spotting the problem.
314
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000315 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
316 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
317 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
318 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
319 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
320
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000321 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
322 compiled with this enabled, with
323
324 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
325
326 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
327 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
328 statically with
329
330 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
331
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100332 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
333 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
334
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000335 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
336 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
337 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
338 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
339 distribution. You should of course check that these are
340 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
341
342 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
343 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000344
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000345 to your config is all thats needed to get things
346 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
347 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
348 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
349 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
350 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
351 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
352 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
353 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
354 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
355 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
356 records, which significantly improve the performance of
357 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
358 DNSSEC in action.
359
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100360 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
361 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
362 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
363 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
364 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
365 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
366 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
367 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
368 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
369 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
370 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
371 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
372 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
373 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
374 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
375 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
376
377 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
378 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
379 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
380 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
381 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
382 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
383 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
384 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
385 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
386 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
387 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
388 henceforward will be complete.

Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000390 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
391 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
392 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
393 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
394 a workable state.

398 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
399 full access to configuration.

Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000401 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
402 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
403 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000404 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000405 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
406 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
407 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
408 being used for DNS amplification attacks.

Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000410 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs

423 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
424 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
425 addresses.
426
427 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
428 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
429 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
430 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
431 restarted, this bug disappeared.
432
433 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
434 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
435
436 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
437
438 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
439 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
440 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
441 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
442 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
443 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
444 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
445 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
446 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
447 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
448 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
449 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
450 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000451

463 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
464 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
465 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
466 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
467 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000468
469 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for

Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100479
480 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
481 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
482 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
483 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
484 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
485 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
486 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
487 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

499 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
500 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
501 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
502 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
503 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
504 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
505 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
506 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000630version 2.66
631 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
632 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
633 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
634 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
635 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
636 servers to be configured.
637
638 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
639 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
640 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
641 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
642 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
643 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
644 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
645 this idea.

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100739 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
740 for the patch.
741
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100742 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
743 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
744 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
745
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100746 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
747 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
748 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
749 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
750
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100751 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
752 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
753 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
754
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100755 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
756 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
757 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
758
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000759 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
760 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
761 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000762
763 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.

766 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
767 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
768 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.

770 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
771 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
772 without setting source address and interface, since this
773 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
774 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100783 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
784 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
785
786 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
787 stuff is pointless without that.
788
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100789 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
790 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
791 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100792
793 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
794 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100795
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100796 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
797 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
798 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
799 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
800 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
801 superceded by other mechanisms.
802
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100803 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
804 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
805
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100806 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100811 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
812 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
813 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
814 the suggestion.
815
816 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
817 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
818 spotted the ommission.

836
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100837 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
838 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to

840
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100841 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
842 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
843 for spotting this.
844
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100845 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
846 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
847 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
848
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100849 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
850
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100851 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
852 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
853 his help nailing this.
854
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000855version 2.61
856 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
857 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
858 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
859 addresses.
860
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100861 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
862 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
863 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
864 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
865 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
866 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000867
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000868 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
869
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000870 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
871 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
872 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100873 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking

Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000876 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
877 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
878 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
879
880 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
881
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000882 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
883 suggestion.
884
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000885 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
886 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
887 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
888 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
889 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
890 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
891 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
892 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
893 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
894 Gadgil.
895
896 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
897 the above.
898
899 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
900 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can

902 Forkel.
903
904 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
905 work even if there is no interface carrying the
906 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
907 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
908 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
909 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
910 the idea and initial patch.

913 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
914 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
915
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100916 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
917 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
918 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
919 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
920 for existing connections, but new connections will use
921 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
922 renumbering at least possible.
923
924 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100925 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000966 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
967 which is not the primary address of an interface.
968
969 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
970
971 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
972 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
973 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
974 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
975 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
976 implementation.
977
978 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
979 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
980 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
981 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
982 set them from the make command line.
983
984 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
985 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

987 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
988 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

994 containing many distinct addresses.
995
996 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
997 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
998 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
999 this.

1003
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001004 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1005 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1006 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1007 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1008
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001009 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1010 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1011 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1012 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)

1015
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001016 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1017 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1018 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1019 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1020 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1021 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1022 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1023 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1024 These will be added as the standards mature.
1025 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1026 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1027 testers who have got it this far.

Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001029 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1030 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1031 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1032 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1033 enabling with --enable-ra.
1034
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001035 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that

1037 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1038 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

1046 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1047 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1048 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1049 report.
1050
1051 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1052 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1053 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1054 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1055 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1056 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1057 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1058 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1059 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

1065
1066 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1067 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1068 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1069
1070 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1071 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1072 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1073 server-deployment applications need this.
1074
1075 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1076 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1077 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1078 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1079 in chasing this one down.
1080
1081 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1082 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1083 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1084 the problem.
1085
1086 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1087 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1088 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1089 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1090 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1091 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1092
1093 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1094 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1095 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1096 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1097 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1098 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1099 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1100 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1101
1102 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1103 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1104
1105 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1106 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1107 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1108 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1109
1110 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1111 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1112
1113 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1114 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1115 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1116 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1117 Agrawal for the patch.
1118
1119 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1120 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1121 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1122 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1123 per-network values. So
1124 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1125 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1126 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1127 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1128 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1129 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1130
1131 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1132 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1133 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1134 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1135 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1136 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1137 a comprehensive test-case.
1138
1139 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1140 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001141 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001142
1143 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1144 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1145 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1146 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1147 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001154version 2.57
1155 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1156
1157 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1158 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1159 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1160 effectively empty on Android.
1161
1162 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1163 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1164 wildcard.
1165
1166 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1167 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1168 spotting this.
1169
1170 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1171 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1172 when i18n is included.
1173 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1174
1175 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1176 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1177 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1178
1179
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001180version 2.56
1181 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1182 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1183
1184 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1185 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1186 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1187 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1188
1189 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1190 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1191
1192 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1193 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1194 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1195
1196 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1197 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1198 syslogd.
1199
1200 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1201 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1202 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1203
1204 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1205 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1206 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1207
1208 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1209 option, on the command line.
1210
1211 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1212 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1213
1214 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1215 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1216 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1217 to John Hallam for the patch.
1218
1219 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1220 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1221 character chunks instead.
1222
1223 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1224 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1225 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1226 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1227
1228 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1229 transfer has completed succesfully.
1230
1231 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1232 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1233 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1234 which automatically creates
1235 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1236 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1237
1238 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1239 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1240
1241 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1242 thanks for that.
1243
1244 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1245 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1246 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1247 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1248 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1249 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1250 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1251 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1252 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1253
1254 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1255 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1256 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1257 set.
1258
1259 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1260 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1261
1262 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1263 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1264 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1265
1266 Edit
1267 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1268 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1269 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1270
1271 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1272 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1273 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1274 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1275 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1276 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1277 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1278 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1279 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1280 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1281 So:
1282 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1283 --server=/google.com/#
1284 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1285 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1286 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1287 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1288 William for pointing out the need for this.
1289
1290 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1291 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1292 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1293
1294 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1295 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1296 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1297 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1298
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001299 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1321 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1322 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1323
1324 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1325 generated by gcc 4.4.
1326
1327 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1328 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1329
1330 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1331 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1332 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1333
1334 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1335 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1336 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1337 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1338 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1339 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1340 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1341 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1342 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1343 much less confusing.
1344
1345 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1346 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1347 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1348
1349 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1350
1351 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1352
1353 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1354 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1355 finding this.
1356
1357 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1358 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1359 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1360 from the client.
1361
1362 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1363 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1364 finding this.
1365
1366 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1367 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1368 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1369 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1370 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1371 server-override option.
1372
1373 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1374 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1375 allows a single line of the form
1376 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1377 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1378 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1379 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1380 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1381 interface=<interface>
1382 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1383 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1384 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1385 configuration.
1386
1387 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1388
1389 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1390 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1391
1392 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1393 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1394 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1395 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1396
1397 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1398 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1399 file, not the process/descriptor.
1400
1401 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1402 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1403
1404 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1405 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1406 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1407 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1408 this and testing the fix.
1409
1410 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1411 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1412 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1413
1414 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1415 upstream servers: this allows something like
1416 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1417 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1418 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1419 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1420
1421 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1422 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1423 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1424 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1425 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1426 work on this.
1427
1428 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1429 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1430 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1431 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1432 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1433 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1434 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1435
1436 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1437
1438 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1439 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1440 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1441 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1442 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1443 here.
1444
1445 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1446
1447 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1448 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1449
1450 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1451 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1452 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1453 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1454 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1455
1456 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1457 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1458
1459 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1460 is set.
1461
1462 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1463 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.

1471 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1472
1473 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1474 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1475 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1476

1479
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001480version 2.52
1481 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1482 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1483 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1484 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1485 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1486 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1487 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1488 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1489
1490 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1491 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1492 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1493 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1494
1495 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1496 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1497 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1498 when dnsmasq is first started.
1499
1500 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1501 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1502 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1503 with certain clients.
1504
1505 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1506 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1507 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1508
1509 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1510 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1511 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1512 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1513 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1514 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1515 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1516 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1517 numbers delimited by dots.
1518
1519 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1520 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1521
1522 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1523 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1524
1525 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1526 contrib/Solaris10.
1527
1528 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1529 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1530 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1531 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1532 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1533 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1534 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1535
1536 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1537 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1538 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1539 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1540
1541 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1542 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1543 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1544
1545 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1546 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1547 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1548
1549 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1550 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1551 looks like this:
1552 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1553
1554 Add some application specific code to assist in
1555 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1556 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1557
1558 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1559 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1560 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1561 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1562
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001563 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001564 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1565
1566 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1567 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1568 this.
1569
1570 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1571 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1572 providing this.
1573
1574 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1575 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1576
1577 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1578
1579 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1580
1581 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1582
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001583 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1584 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1585 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1586 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001587
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001588
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001589version 2.51
1590 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1591 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1592 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1593 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1594 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1595 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1596 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1597 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1598 suggestion.
1599
1600 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1601 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1602 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1603 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1604 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1605 a DHCP relay, if used.
1606 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1607
1608 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1609 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1610
1611 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1612 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1613 dhcp-option-force.
1614
1615 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1616 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1617 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1618
1619 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1620 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1621 the patch.
1622
1623 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1624
1625 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1626 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1627
1628 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1629 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1630 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1631 suggestion.
1632
1633 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1634 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1635 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1636 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1637 dhcp-optsfile.
1638
1639 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1640 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1641 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1642 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1643 suggestion.
1644
1645 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1646 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1647 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1648 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1649 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1650
1651 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1652 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1653 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1654 fragmented packets.
1655
1656 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1657 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1658
1659 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001662version 2.50
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001663 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001664 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1665 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1666 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1667 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1668 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1669 and CVE: 2009-2957
1670
1671 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1672 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1673 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1674 CVE: 2009-2958
1675
1676
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001677version 2.49
1678 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1679 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1680
1681 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1682 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1683 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1684 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1685
1686 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1688
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001689version 2.48
1690 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1691 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1692 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001693
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001694 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1695 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1696 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001697
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001698 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1699 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1700 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001701
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001702 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1703 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1704 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1705 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001706
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001707 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1708 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001709
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001710 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1711 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1712 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1713 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001714
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001715 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1716 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1717 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001718
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001719 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1720 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1721 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001722
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001723 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001724
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001725 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1726 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1727 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1728 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1729 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1730 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1731 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1732 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1733 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001734
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001735 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1736 useful suggestions.
1737
1738 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1739 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1740 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1741
1742 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1743 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001744
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001745 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001747
1748version 2.47
1749 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1750
1751 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1752 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1753
1754 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1755 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1756 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1757
1758 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1759 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1760 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1761 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1762 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1763 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1764 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1765 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1766 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1767 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1768 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1769 Krafft for the bug report.
1770
1771 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1772
1773 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1774 Fix for this bug:
1775 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1776
1777 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1778 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1779 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1780 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1781
1782 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1783 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1784
1785 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1786
1787 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1788 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1789 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1790 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1791 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1792
1793 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1794 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1795
1796 No longer complain about blank lines in
1797 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1798
1799 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1800 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1801 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1802 for the bug report.
1803
1804 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1805 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1806 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1807 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1808
1809 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1810 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1811 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1812 as before.
1813 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1814 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1815 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1816
1817 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1818 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1819 Windows even when using supernetting.
1820 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1821 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1822 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1823 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1824
1825 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1826
1827 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1828 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1829 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1830 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1831 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1832 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1833 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001834
1835
1836version 2.46
1837 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1838 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1839 suggestion.
1840
1841 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1842 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1843 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1844 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1845 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1846
1847 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1848 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1849 based in their IP address.
1850
1851 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1852 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1853 a domain associated with each client, and only
1854 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1855 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1856 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1857 long as they are in different domains.
1858
1859 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1860 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1861 have now that it's variable.
1862
1863 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1864 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1865 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1866 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1867 potential.
1868
1869 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1870 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1871 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1872
1873 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1874 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1875
1876 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1877 which the DHCP request was received.
1878
1879 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1880 Laine for the patch.
1881
1882 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1883 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1884
1885 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1886 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1887 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1888 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1889 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1890 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1891 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1892 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1893 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1894 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1895 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1896
1897 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1898 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1899 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1900 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1901 improvement.
1902
1903 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1904 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1905 suggestions on this.
1906
1907 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1908 Fisher.
1909
1910 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1911
1912 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1913 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1914
1915 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1916
1917 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1918 up" event occurs.
1919
1920
1921version 2.45
1922 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1923 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1924 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1925 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1926
1927
1928version 2.44
1929 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1930 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1931 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1932
1933 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1934 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1935 never been reported in the wild.
1936
1937 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1938 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1939
1940 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1941 is large.
1942
1943 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1944 David Gilman.
1945
1946 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1947
1948
1949version 2.43
1950 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1951
1952 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1953 illegally.
1954
1955 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1956
1957 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1958 format.
1959
1960 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1961 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1962 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1963 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1964 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1965
1966 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1967 Rack for the bug report.
1968
1969 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1970 Bergquist.
1971
1972 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1973 option.
1974
1975 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1976 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1977
1978 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1979 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1980
1981 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1982 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1983 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1984 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1985 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1986 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1987 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1988 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1989 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1990 suggestions.
1991
1992 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1993 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1994 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1995
1996 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1997 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1998 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1999 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2000 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2001 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2002 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2003 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2004 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2005 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2006
2007 Replace the random number generator, for better
2008 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2009 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2010 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2011 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2012 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2013 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2014
2015 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2016 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2017 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2018 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2019 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2020
2021 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
