Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +01001version 2.63
2 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
3
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +01004 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
5 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
6
7 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
8 stuff is pointless without that.
9
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +010010 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
11 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
12 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +010013
14 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
15 to Metin Kaya for the patches.

Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +010018version 2.62
19 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
20
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +010021 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
22 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
23
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +010024 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
25 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
26 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
27
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +010028 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
29 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
30 for spotting this.
31
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +010032 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
33 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
34 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
35
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +010036 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
37
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +010038 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
39 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
40 his help nailing this.
41
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +010042
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +000043version 2.61
44 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
45 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
46 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
47 addresses.
48
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +010049 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
50 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
51 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
52 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
53 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
54 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +000055
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +000056 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
57
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000058 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
59 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
60 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +010061 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000062 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +000063
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000064 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
65 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
66 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
67
68 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
69
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +000070 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
71 suggestion.
72
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +000073 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
74 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
75 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
76 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
77 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
78 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
79 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
80 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
81 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
82 Gadgil.
83
84 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
85 the above.
86
87 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
88 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +000089 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
90 Forkel.
91
92 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
93 work even if there is no interface carrying the
94 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
95 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
96 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
97 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
98 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +000099
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000100 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
101 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
102 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
103
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100104 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
105 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
106 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
107 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
108 for existing connections, but new connections will use
109 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
110 renumbering at least possible.
111
112 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100113 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100114
115 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
116 using the settings provided for DHCP options
117 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +0100118
119 Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
120 SamLT for work on this.
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100121
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100122 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
123 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
124 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100125
126 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100127 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100128 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
129 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
130 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100131 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
132
133 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +0100134
135 Give correct from-cache answers to explict CNAME queries.
136 Thanks to Rob Zwissler for spotting this.
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100137
Simon Kelleyfc92ead2012-04-22 21:28:24 +0100138 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100139 patch.
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100140
141 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
142 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100143 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100144 Ene for the patch.
Simon Kelley19d69be2012-04-27 10:14:34 +0100145
146 Fix failure of TFTP over IPv4 on OpenBSD platform. Thanks
147 to Brad Smith for spotting this.
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100148
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100149
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000150version 2.60
151 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
152 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100153
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000154 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
155 which is not the primary address of an interface.
156
157 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
158
159 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
160 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
161 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
162 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
163 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
164 implementation.
165
166 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
167 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
168 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
169 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
170 set them from the make command line.
171
172 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
173 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
174
175 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
176 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
177
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000178 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
179 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000180
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000181 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
182 containing many distinct addresses.
183
184 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
185 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
186 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
187 this.
188
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000189 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
190 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
191
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000192 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
193 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
194 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
195 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
196
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000197 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
198 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
199 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
200 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000201 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000202 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
203
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000204 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
205 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
206 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
207 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
208 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
209 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
210 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
211 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
212 These will be added as the standards mature.
213 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
214 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
215 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000216
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000217 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
218 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
219 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
220 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
221 enabling with --enable-ra.
222
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000223 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
224 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
225 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
226 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000227
228 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000229
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000230 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
231
232
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000233version 2.59
234 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
235 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
236 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
237 report.
238
239 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
240 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
241 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
242 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
243 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
244 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
245 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
246 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
247 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100248
249
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100250version 2.58
251 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
252 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
253
254 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
255 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
256 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
257
258 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
259 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
260 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
261 server-deployment applications need this.
262
263 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
264 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
265 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
266 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
267 in chasing this one down.
268
269 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
270 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
271 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
272 the problem.
273
274 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
275 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
276 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
277 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
278 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
279 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
280
281 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
282 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
283 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
284 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
285 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
286 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
287 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
288 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
289
290 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
291 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
292
293 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
294 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
295 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
296 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
297
298 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
299 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
300
301 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
302 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
303 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
304 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
305 Agrawal for the patch.
306
307 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
308 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
309 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
310 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
311 per-network values. So
312 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
313 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
314 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
315 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
316 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
317 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
318
319 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
320 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
321 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
322 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
323 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
324 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
325 a comprehensive test-case.
326
327 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
328 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
329 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
330
331 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
332 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
333 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
334 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
335 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
336
337 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
338
339 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
340
341
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000342version 2.57
343 Add patches to allow build under Android.
344
345 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
346 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
347 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
348 effectively empty on Android.
349
350 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
351 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
352 wildcard.
353
354 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
355 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
356 spotting this.
357
358 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
359 IDN support continues to be included automatically
360 when i18n is included.
361 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
362
363 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
364 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
365 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
366
367
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000368version 2.56
369 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
370 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
371
372 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
373 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
374 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
375 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
376
377 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
378 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
379
380 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
381 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
382 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
383
384 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
385 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
386 syslogd.
387
388 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
389 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
390 Petrin for the orignal patch.
391
392 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
393 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
394 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
395
396 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
397 option, on the command line.
398
399 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
400 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
401
402 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
403 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
404 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
405 to John Hallam for the patch.
406
407 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
408 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
409 character chunks instead.
410
411 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
412 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
413 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
414 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
415
416 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
417 transfer has completed succesfully.
418
419 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
420 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
421 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
422 which automatically creates
423 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
424 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
425
426 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
427 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
428
429 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
430 thanks for that.
431
432 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
433 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
434 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
435 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
436 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
437 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
438 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
439 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
440 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
441
442 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
443 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
444 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
445 set.
446
447 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
448 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
449
450 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
451 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
452 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
453
454 Edit
455 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
456 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
457 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
458
459 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
460 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
461 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
462 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
463 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
464 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
465 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
466 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
467 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
468 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
469 So:
470 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
471 --server=/google.com/#
472 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
473 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
474 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
475 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
476 William for pointing out the need for this.
477
478 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
479 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
480 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
481
482 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
483 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
484 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
485 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

509 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
510 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
511
512 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
513 generated by gcc 4.4.
514
515 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
516 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
517
518 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
519 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
520 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
521
522 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
523 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
524 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
525 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
526 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
527 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
528 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
529 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
530 the documentation and new-style config files should be
531 much less confusing.
532
533 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
534 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
535 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
536
537 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
538
539 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
540
541 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
542 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
543 finding this.
544
545 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
546 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
547 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
548 from the client.
549
550 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
551 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
552 finding this.
553
554 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
555 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
556 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
557 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
558 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
559 server-override option.
560
561 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
562 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
563 allows a single line of the form
564 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
565 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
566 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
567 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
568 irrespective of the existance or lack of
569 interface=<interface>
570 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
571 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
572 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
573 configuration.
574
575 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
576
577 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
578 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
579
580 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
581 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
582 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
583 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
584
585 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
586 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
587 file, not the process/descriptor.
588
589 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
590 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
591
592 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
593 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
594 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
595 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
596 this and testing the fix.
597
598 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
599 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
600 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
601
602 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
603 upstream servers: this allows something like
604 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
605 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
606 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
607 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
608
609 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
610 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
611 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
612 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
613 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
614 work on this.
615
616 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
617 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
618 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
619 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
620 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
621 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
622 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
623
624 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
625
626 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
627 than one server available for a domain, eg.
628 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
629 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
630 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
631 here.
632
633 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
634
635 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
636 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
637
638 Fix regression which caused configuration like
639 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
640 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
641 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
642 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
643
644 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
645 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
646
647 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
648 is set.
649
650 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
651 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
652
653 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
654
655 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

658
659 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
660
661 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
662 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
663 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
664
665 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
666
667
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000668version 2.52
669 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
670 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
671 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
672 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
673 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
674 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
675 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
676 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
677
678 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
679 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
680 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
681 necessary for some *WRT distros.
682
683 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
684 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
685 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
686 when dnsmasq is first started.
687
688 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
689 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
690 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
691 with certain clients.
692
693 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
694 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
695 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
696
697 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
698 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
699 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
700 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
701 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
702 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
703 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
704 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
705 numbers delimited by dots.
706
707 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
708 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
709
710 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
711 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
712
713 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
714 contrib/Solaris10.
715
716 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
717 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
718 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
719 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
720 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
721 addresses available in such an installation removes a
722 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
723
724 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
725 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
726 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
727 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
728
729 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
730 the lease-change script in the environment variable
731 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
732
733 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
734 Options". The syntax looks like this:
735 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
736
737 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
738 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
739 looks like this:
740 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
741
742 Add some application specific code to assist in
743 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
744 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
745
746 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
747 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
748 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
749 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
750
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100751 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000752 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
753
754 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
755 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
756 this.
757
758 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
759 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
760 providing this.
761
762 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
763 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.

770
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100771 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
772 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
773 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
774 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000775

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100777version 2.51
778 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
779 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
780 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
781 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
782 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
783 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
784 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
785 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
786 suggestion.
787
788 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
789 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
790 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
791 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
792 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
793 a DHCP relay, if used.
794 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
795
796 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
797 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
798
799 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
800 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
801 dhcp-option-force.
802
803 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
804 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
805 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
806
807 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
808 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
809 the patch.
810
811 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
812
813 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
814 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
815
816 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
817 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
818 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
819 suggestion.
820
821 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
822 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
823 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
824 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
825 dhcp-optsfile.
826
827 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
828 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
829 is retried. This should improve performance when there
830 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
831 suggestion.
832
833 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
834 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
835 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
836 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
837 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
838
839 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
840 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
841 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
842 fragmented packets.
843
844 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
845 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
846
847 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

867 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
868
869 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
870 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
871 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than

899 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
900 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
901 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000902
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100903 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
904 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
905 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000906
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100907 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
908 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
909 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000910
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100911 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000912
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100913 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
914 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
915 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
916 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
917 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
918 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
919 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
920 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
921 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000922
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100923 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
924 useful suggestions.
925
926 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
927 this, edit src/config.h or build with
928 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
929
930 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
931 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +0100932
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100933 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

936version 2.47
937 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
938
939 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
940 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
941
942 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
943 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
944 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
945
946 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
947 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
948 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
949 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
950 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
951 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
952 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
953 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
954 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
955 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
956 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
957 Krafft for the bug report.
958
959 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
960
961 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
962 Fix for this bug:
963 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
964
965 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
966 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
967 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
968 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
969
970 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
971 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
972
973 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
974
975 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
976 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
977 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
978 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
979 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
980
981 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
982 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
983
984 No longer complain about blank lines in
985 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
986
987 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
988 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
989 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
990 for the bug report.
991
992 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
993 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
994 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
995 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
996
997 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
998 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
999 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1000 as before.
1001 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1002 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1003 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1004
1005 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1006 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1007 Windows even when using supernetting.
1008 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1009 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1010 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1011 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1012
1013 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1014
1015 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1016 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1017 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1018 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1019 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1020 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1021 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001022
1023
1024version 2.46
1025 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1026 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1027 suggestion.
1028
1029 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1030 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1031 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1032 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1033 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1034
1035 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1036 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1037 based in their IP address.
1038
1039 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1040 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1041 a domain associated with each client, and only
1042 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1043 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1044 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1045 long as they are in different domains.
1046
1047 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1048 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1049 have now that it's variable.
1050
1051 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1052 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1053 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1054 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1055 potential.
1056
1057 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1058 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1059 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1060
1061 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1062 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1063
1064 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1065 which the DHCP request was received.
1066
1067 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1068 Laine for the patch.
1069
1070 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1071 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1072
1073 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1074 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1075 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1076 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1077 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1078 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1079 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1080 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1081 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1082 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1083 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1084
1085 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1086 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1087 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1088 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1089 improvement.
1090
1091 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1092 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1093 suggestions on this.
1094
1095 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1096 Fisher.
1097
1098 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1099
1100 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1101 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1102
1103 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1104
1105 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1106 up" event occurs.
1107
1108
1109version 2.45
1110 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1111 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1112 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1113 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1114
1115
1116version 2.44
1117 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1118 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1119 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1120
1121 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1122 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1123 never been reported in the wild.
1124
1125 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1126 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1127
1128 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1129 is large.
1130
1131 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1132 David Gilman.
1133
1134 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1135
1136
1137version 2.43
1138 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1139
1140 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1141 illegally.
1142
1143 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1144
1145 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1146 format.
1147
1148 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1149 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1150 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1151 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1152 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1153
1154 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1155 Rack for the bug report.
1156
1157 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1158 Bergquist.
1159
1160 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1161 option.
1162
1163 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1164 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1165
1166 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1167 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1168
1169 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1170 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1171 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1172 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1173 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1174 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1175 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1176 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1177 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1178 suggestions.
1179
1180 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1181 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1182 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1183
1184 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1185 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1186 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1187 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1188 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1189 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1190 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1191 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1192 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1193 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1194
1195 Replace the random number generator, for better
1196 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1197 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1198 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1199 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1200 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1201 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1202
1203 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1204 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1205 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1206 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1207 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1208
1209 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
