2 Calculate the length of TFTP error reply packet
3 correctly. This fixes a problem when the error
4 message in a TFTP packet exceeds the arbitrary
5 limit of 500 characters. The message was correctly
6 truncated, but not the packet length, so
7 extra data was appended. This is a possible
8 security risk, since the extra data comes from
9 a buffer which is also used for DNS, so that
10 previous DNS queries or replies may be leaked.
11 Thanks to Mozilla for funding the security audit
12 which spotted this bug.
13
Ivan Kokshaysky1d076672016-07-11 18:36:05 +010014 Fix logic error in Linux netlink code. This could
15 cause dnsmasq to enter a tight loop on systems
16 with a very large number of network interfaces.
17 Thanks to Ivan Kokshaysky for the diagnosis and
18 patch.
19
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant06093a92016-07-11 21:03:27 +010020 Fix problem with --dnssec-timestamp whereby receipt
21 of SIGHUP would erroneously engage timestamp checking.
22 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for this work.

26 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
27 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
28 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
29 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
30 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +010031
32 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
33 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +010034
35 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
36 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
37 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
38 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
39
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +000040 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
41 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
42 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
43 the patch.
44
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +000045 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
46 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
47 for the patch.
48
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +000049 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
50 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
51 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
52 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
53 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
54
55 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
56 not SERVFAIL.
57
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +000058 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
59 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000060
61 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
62 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
63 removal of entries in the ARP or nieghbour tables.
64
65 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
66 as base64, by configurting --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000067
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000068 Add --add-cpe-id option.
69
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000070 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
71 is declared as a whole /64.
72 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
73 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
74
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +000075 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
76 --cname.
77
78 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000079
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +000080 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
81 initial patch.
82
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +010083 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
84 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
85 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
86 for spotting this.
87
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +010088 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
89 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
90 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
91
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +010092 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
93 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
94
95 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
96 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
97
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +010098 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
99 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
100 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +0100101 in src/config.h.
102
103 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
104 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
105 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
106 will need to update your config.
107
108 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
109 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100110
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100111 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
112 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
113 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
114 work with these archictectures.
115
116 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
117 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
118 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
119 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
120 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
121 single-item boot menu.
122
123 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
124 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
125
Simon Kelleyda2cad42016-05-18 15:14:08 +0100126 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
127 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
128 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
129 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
130 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
131 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
132 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
133 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
134 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
135 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
136 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
137 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
138 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
139 have a config with a basename which already has a
140 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
141 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
142 name.suffix
143

Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +0100145version 2.75
146 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
147 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
148 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
149
150
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +0100151version 2.74
152 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
153 read the default file, rather than no file.
154
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100155 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
156 not SEGV in some circumstances.
157
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100158 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
159 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
160 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
161
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100162
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100163version 2.73
164 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
165 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
166 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000167
168 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
169 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
170 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
171
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000172 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
173 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000174 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
175 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
176 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000177
178 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
179 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
180 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000181
182 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
183 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
184 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
185 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000186
187 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
188 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000189
190 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
191 queries which include the specified address. No error is
192 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
193 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
194 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
195 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
196 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000197
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000198 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
199 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
200 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
201 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
202 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
203 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
204 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
205 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100206
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000207 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
208 to search automatically.
209
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000210 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
211 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
212 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
213 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
214 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
215 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000216
217 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
218 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
219 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000220
221 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
222 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
223 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
224 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000225
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000226 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
227 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
228 for the patch.
229
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000230 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000231
232 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100233 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
234 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
235 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
236 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100237
238 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
239 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100240
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100241 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
242 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
243 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
244 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
245 sterling work chasing this down.
246
247 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
248 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100249 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
250 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
251 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100252
253 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
254 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
255 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
256 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
257 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
258 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
259 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
260 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100261
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100262 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
263 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
264 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
265 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
266 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
267 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100268 pointing out the problem.
269
270 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
271 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
272 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100273
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100274 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
275 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
276 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
277 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
278 change permanent.
279
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100280 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
281 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
282
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100283 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
284 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
285
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100286 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
287 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
288 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
289 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100290
291 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
292 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100293
294 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the
295 "on-link" bit set. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
296
297 Extend --bridge-interface to DHCPv6 and router
298 advertisements. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.

Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +0100302 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
303
304 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
305 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100306
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100307 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
308 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
309 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100310
311 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
312 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100313
314 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
315 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100316
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100317 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
318 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
319 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
320 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
321 patch.
322
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100323 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
324 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
325 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
326 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
327 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
328 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
329
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100330 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
331 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
332 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +0100333
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100334 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
335 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100336
337 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
338 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
339 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100340
341 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
342 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.

Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100345version 2.71
346 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
347 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
348 non-existent DS records.
349
350 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
351 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
352 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
353 report.
354
355 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
356 for spotting that too.
357
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100358 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
359 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and

365 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
366 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
367
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100368 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to

373 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
374 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
375 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
376 valuable research on how to implement this.

Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000378 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000379 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000380
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000381 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
382 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
383 for spotting the problem.
384
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000385 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
386 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
387 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
388 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
389 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
390
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000391 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
392 compiled with this enabled, with
393
394 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
395
396 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
397 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
398 statically with
399
400 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
401
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100402 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
403 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
404
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000405 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
406 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
407 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
408 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
409 distribution. You should of course check that these are
410 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
411
412 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
413 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000414
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000415 to your config is all thats needed to get things
416 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
417 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
418 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
419 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
420 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
421 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
422 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
423 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
424 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
425 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
426 records, which significantly improve the performance of
427 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
428 DNSSEC in action.
429
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100430 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
431 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
432 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
433 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
434 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
435 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
436 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
437 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
438 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
439 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
440 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
441 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
442 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
443 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
444 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
445 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
446
447 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
448 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
449 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
450 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
451 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
452 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
453 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
454 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
455 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
456 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
457 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
458 henceforward will be complete.
459
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000460 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
461 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
462 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
463 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
464 a workable state.
465
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000466 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000467
468 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
469 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000470
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000471 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
472 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
473 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000474 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000475 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
476 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
477 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
478 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
479
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000480 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
481 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
482 find this and helping to chase it down.
483
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100484 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
485 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
486 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
487
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100488 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
489 well as logging them.

493 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
494 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
495 addresses.
496
497 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
498 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
499 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
500 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
501 restarted, this bug disappeared.
502
503 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
504 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
505
506 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
507
508 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
509 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
510 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
511 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
512 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
513 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
514 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
515 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
516 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
517 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
518 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
519 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
520 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000521
522 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
523 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
524 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
525 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000526
527 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
528 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
529
530 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
531 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000532
533 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
534 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
535 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
536 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
537 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000538
539 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
540 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
541 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
542 corresponding address on the local interface.

548 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100549
550 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
551 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
552 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
553 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
554 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
555 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
556 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
557 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100558
559 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
560 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
561 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100562

Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100568
569 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
570 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
571 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
572 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
573 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
574 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
575 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
576 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100578 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket

596
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100597 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
598 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
599 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
600 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
601 report.

Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100613 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN

Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100621 When the address which triggered the construction of an
622 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
623 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
624 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
625 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
626 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
627 arguing for this.

639
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100640 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
641 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
642 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
643 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
644 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100659 Support identification of clients by MAC address in

665 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000700version 2.66
701 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
702 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
703 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
704 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
705 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
706 servers to be configured.
707
708 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
709 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
710 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
711 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
712 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
713 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
714 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
715 this idea.

721 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
722 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
723 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
724 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)

Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000736 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
737 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
738 bounty for this addition.
739
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000740 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
741 information-requests with some common configurations.
742 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
743 chasing the problem.
744
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000745 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the

Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000748 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000749 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.

Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100754 Handle the situation where libc headers define
755 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
756 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
757 Felker for the bug report.

Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100779version 2.64
780 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
781 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
782 spotting the problem.
783
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100784 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
785 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
786 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
787 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
788 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
789 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
790
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100791 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100812 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
813 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
814 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
815
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100816 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
817 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
818 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
819 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
820
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100821 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
822 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
823 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
824
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100825 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
826 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
827 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
828
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000829 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
830 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
831 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000832
833 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.

837 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
838 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.

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

854 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
855
856 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
857 stuff is pointless without that.
858
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100859 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
860 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
861 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100862
863 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
864 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100865
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100866 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
867 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
868 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
869 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
870 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
871 superceded by other mechanisms.
872
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100873 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
874 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100881 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
882 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
883 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
884 the suggestion.
885
886 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
887 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
888 spotted the ommission.

910
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100911 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
912 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
913 for spotting this.
914
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100915 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when

Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100919 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
920
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100921 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
922 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
923 his help nailing this.
924
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000925version 2.61
926 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
927 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
928 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
929 addresses.
930
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100931 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
932 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
933 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
934 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
935 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
936 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000945
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000946 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
947 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
948 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
949
950 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
951
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000952 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the

954
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000955 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
956 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
957 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
958 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
959 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
960 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
961 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
962 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
963 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
964 Gadgil.
965
966 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
967 the above.
968
969 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
970 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can

972 Forkel.
973
974 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
975 work even if there is no interface carrying the
976 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
977 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
978 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
979 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
980 the idea and initial patch.

983 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
984 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
985
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100986 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
987 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
988 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
989 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
990 for existing connections, but new connections will use
991 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
992 renumbering at least possible.
993
994 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease

1037 which is not the primary address of an interface.
1038
1039 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
1040
1041 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1042 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1043 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1044 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1045 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1046 implementation.
1047
1048 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1049 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1050 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1051 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1052 set them from the make command line.
1053
1054 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1055 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001079 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1080 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1081 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1082 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001083 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001084 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1085
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001086 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1087 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1088 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1089 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1090 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1091 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1092 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1093 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1094 These will be added as the standards mature.
1095 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1096 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1097 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001098
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001099 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1100 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1101 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1102 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1103 enabling with --enable-ra.
1104
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001105 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1106 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1107 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1108 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +00001109

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001115version 2.59
1116 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1117 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1118 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1119 report.
1120
1121 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1122 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1123 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1124 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1125 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1126 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1127 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1128 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1129 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001130
1131
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001132version 2.58
1133 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1134 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1135
1136 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1137 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1138 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1139
1140 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1141 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1142 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1143 server-deployment applications need this.
1144
1145 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1146 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1147 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1148 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1149 in chasing this one down.
1150
1151 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1152 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1153 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1154 the problem.
1155
1156 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1157 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1158 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1159 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1160 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1161 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1162
1163 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1164 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1165 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1166 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1167 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1168 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1169 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1170 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1171
1172 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1173 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1174
1175 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1176 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1177 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1178 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1179
1180 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1181 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1182
1183 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1184 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1185 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1186 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1187 Agrawal for the patch.
1188
1189 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1190 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1191 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1192 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1193 per-network values. So
1194 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1195 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1196 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1197 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1198 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1199 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1200
1201 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1202 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1203 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1204 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1205 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1206 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1207 a comprehensive test-case.
1208
1209 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1210 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001211 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001212
1213 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1214 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1215 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1216 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1217 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

1223
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001224version 2.57
1225 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1226
1227 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1228 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1229 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1230 effectively empty on Android.
1231
1232 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1233 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1234 wildcard.
1235
1236 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1237 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1238 spotting this.
1239
1240 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1241 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1242 when i18n is included.
1243 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1244
1245 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1246 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1247 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1248
1249
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001250version 2.56
1251 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1252 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1253
1254 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1255 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1256 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1257 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1258
1259 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1260 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1261
1262 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1263 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1264 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1265
1266 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1267 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1268 syslogd.
1269
1270 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1271 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1272 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1273
1274 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1275 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1276 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1277
1278 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1279 option, on the command line.
1280
1281 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1282 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1283
1284 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1285 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1286 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1287 to John Hallam for the patch.
1288
1289 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1290 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1291 character chunks instead.
1292
1293 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1294 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1295 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1296 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1297
1298 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1299 transfer has completed succesfully.
1300
1301 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1302 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1303 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1304 which automatically creates
1305 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1306 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1307
1308 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1309 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1310
1311 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1312 thanks for that.
1313
1314 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1315 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1316 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1317 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1318 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1319 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1320 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1321 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1322 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1323
1324 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1325 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1326 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1327 set.
1328
1329 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1330 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1331
1332 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1333 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1334 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1335
1336 Edit
1337 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1338 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1339 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1340
1341 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1342 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1343 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1344 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1345 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1346 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1347 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1348 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1349 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1350 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1351 So:
1352 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1353 --server=/google.com/#
1354 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1355 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1356 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1357 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1358 William for pointing out the need for this.
1359
1360 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1361 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1362 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1363
1364 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1365 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1366 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1367 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1368
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001369 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001390version 2.53
1391 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1392 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1393
1394 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1395 generated by gcc 4.4.
1396
1397 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1398 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1399
1400 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1401 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1402 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1403
1404 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1405 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1406 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1407 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1408 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1409 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1410 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1411 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1412 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1413 much less confusing.
1414
1415 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1416 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1417 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1418
1419 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1420
1421 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1422
1423 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1424 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1425 finding this.
1426
1427 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1428 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1429 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1430 from the client.
1431
1432 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1433 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1434 finding this.
1435
1436 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1437 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1438 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1439 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1440 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1441 server-override option.
1442
1443 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1444 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1445 allows a single line of the form
1446 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1447 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1448 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1449 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1450 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1451 interface=<interface>
1452 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1453 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1454 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1455 configuration.
1456
1457 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1458
1459 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1460 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1461
1462 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1463 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1464 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1465 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1466
1467 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1468 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1469 file, not the process/descriptor.
1470
1471 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1472 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1473
1474 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1475 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1476 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1477 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1478 this and testing the fix.
1479
1480 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1481 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1482 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1483
1484 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1485 upstream servers: this allows something like
1486 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1487 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1488 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1489 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1490
1491 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1492 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1493 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1494 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1495 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1496 work on this.
1497
1498 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1499 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1500 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1501 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1502 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1503 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1504 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1505
1506 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1507
1508 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1509 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1510 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1511 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1512 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1513 here.
1514
1515 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1516
1517 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1518 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1519
1520 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1521 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1522 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1523 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1524 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1525
1526 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1527 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1528
1529 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1530 is set.
1531
1532 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1533 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1534
1535 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1538
1539 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1540
1541 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1542
1543 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1544 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1545 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.

Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001550version 2.52
1551 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1552 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1553 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1554 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1555 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1556 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1557 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1558 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1559
1560 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1561 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1562 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1563 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1564
1565 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1566 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1567 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1568 when dnsmasq is first started.
1569
1570 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1571 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1572 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1573 with certain clients.
1574
1575 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1576 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1577 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1578
1579 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1580 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1581 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1582 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1583 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1584 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1585 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1586 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1587 numbers delimited by dots.
1588
1589 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1590 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1591
1592 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1593 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1594
1595 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1596 contrib/Solaris10.
1597
1598 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1599 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1600 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1601 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1602 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1603 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1604 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1605
1606 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1607 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1608 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1609 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1610
1611 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1612 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1613 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1614
1615 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1616 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1617 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1618
1619 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1620 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1621 looks like this:
1622 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1623
1624 Add some application specific code to assist in
1625 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1626 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1627
1628 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1629 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1630 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1631 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1632
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001633 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001634 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1635
1636 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1637 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1638 this.
1639
1640 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1641 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1642 providing this.
1643
1644 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1645 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1646
1647 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1648
1649 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1650
1651 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1652
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001653 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1654 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1655 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1656 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001657
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001658
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001659version 2.51
1660 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1661 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1662 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1663 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1664 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1665 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1666 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1667 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1668 suggestion.
1669
1670 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1671 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1672 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1673 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1674 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1675 a DHCP relay, if used.
1676 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1677
1678 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1679 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1680
1681 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1682 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1683 dhcp-option-force.
1684
1685 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1686 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1687 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1688
1689 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1690 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1691 the patch.
1692
1693 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1694
1695 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1696 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1697
1698 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1699 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1700 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1701 suggestion.
1702
1703 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1704 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1705 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1706 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1707 dhcp-optsfile.
1708
1709 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1710 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1711 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1712 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1713 suggestion.
1714
1715 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1716 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1717 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1718 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1719 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1720
1721 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1722 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1723 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1724 fragmented packets.
1725
1726 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1727 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1728
1729 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001733 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001734 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1735 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1736 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1737 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1738 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1739 and CVE: 2009-2957
1740
1741 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1742 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1743 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1744 CVE: 2009-2958

1746
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001747version 2.49
1748 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1749 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1750
1751 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1752 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1753 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1754 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1755
1756 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1758
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001759version 2.48
1760 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1761 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1762 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001763
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001764 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1765 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1766 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001767
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001768 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1769 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1770 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001771
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001772 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1773 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1774 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1775 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001776
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001777 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1778 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001779
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001780 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1781 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1782 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1783 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001784
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001785 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1786 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1787 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001788
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001789 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1790 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1791 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001792
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001793 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001794
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001795 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1796 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1797 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1798 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1799 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1800 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1801 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1802 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1803 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001804
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001805 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1806 useful suggestions.
1807
1808 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1809 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1810 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1811
1812 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1813 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001814
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001815 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1818version 2.47
1819 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1820
1821 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1822 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1823
1824 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1825 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1826 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1827
1828 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1829 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1830 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1831 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1832 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1833 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1834 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1835 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1836 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1837 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1838 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1839 Krafft for the bug report.
1840
1841 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1842
1843 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1844 Fix for this bug:
1845 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1846
1847 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1848 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1849 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1850 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1851
1852 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1853 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1854
1855 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1856
1857 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1858 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1859 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1860 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1861 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1862
1863 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1864 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1865
1866 No longer complain about blank lines in
1867 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1868
1869 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1870 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1871 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1872 for the bug report.
1873
1874 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1875 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1876 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1877 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1878
1879 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1880 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1881 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1882 as before.
1883 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1884 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1885 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1886
1887 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1888 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1889 Windows even when using supernetting.
1890 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1891 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1892 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1893 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1894
1895 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1896
1897 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1898 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1899 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1900 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1901 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1902 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1903 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001904
1905
1906version 2.46
1907 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1908 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1909 suggestion.
1910
1911 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1912 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1913 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1914 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1915 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1916
1917 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1918 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1919 based in their IP address.
1920
1921 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1922 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1923 a domain associated with each client, and only
1924 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1925 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1926 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1927 long as they are in different domains.
1928
1929 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1930 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1931 have now that it's variable.
1932
1933 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1934 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1935 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1936 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1937 potential.
1938
1939 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1940 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1941 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1942
1943 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1944 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1945
1946 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1947 which the DHCP request was received.
1948
1949 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1950 Laine for the patch.
1951
1952 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1953 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1954
1955 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1956 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1957 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1958 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1959 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1960 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1961 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1962 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1963 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1964 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1965 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1966
1967 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1968 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1969 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1970 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1971 improvement.
1972
1973 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1974 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1975 suggestions on this.
1976
1977 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1978 Fisher.
1979
1980 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1981
1982 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1983 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1984
1985 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1986
1987 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1988 up" event occurs.
1989
1990
1991version 2.45
1992 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1993 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1994 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1995 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1996
1997
1998version 2.44
1999 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
2000 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
2001 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
2002
2003 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
2004 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
2005 never been reported in the wild.
2006
2007 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
2008 Jean Wolter for finding this.
2009
2010 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
2011 is large.
2012
2013 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
2014 David Gilman.
2015
2016 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
2017
2018
2019version 2.43
2020 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2021
2022 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
2023 illegally.
2024
2025 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
2026
2027 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
2028 format.
2029
2030 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2031 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2032 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2033 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2034 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
2035
2036 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
2037 Rack for the bug report.
2038
2039 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
2040 Bergquist.
2041
2042 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
2043 option.
2044
2045 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2046 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
2047
2048 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2049 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
2050
2051 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2052 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2053 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2054 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2055 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2056 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2057 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2058 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2059 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2060 suggestions.
2061
2062 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2063 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2064 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2065
2066 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2067 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2068 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2069 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2070 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2071 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2072 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2073 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2074 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2075 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2076
2077 Replace the random number generator, for better
2078 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2079 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2080 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2081 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2082 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2083 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2084
2085 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2086 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2087 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2088 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2089 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2090
2091 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
