Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +00001version 2.69
2 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
3 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
4 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
5 valuable research on how to implement this.

Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +00007 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +00008 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.

Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +000011version 2.68
12 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
13 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
14 addresses.
15
16 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
17 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
18 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
19 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
20 restarted, this bug disappeared.
21
22 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
23 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
24
25 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
26
27 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
28 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
29 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
30 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
31 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
32 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
33 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
34 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
35 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
36 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
37 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
38 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
39 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +000040
41 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
42 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
43 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
44 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +000045
46 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
47 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
48
49 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
50 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +000051
52 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
53 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
54 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
55 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
56 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +000057
58 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
59 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
60 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
61 corresponding address on the local interface.

Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010064version 2.67
65 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
66 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
67 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +010068
69 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
70 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
71 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
72 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
73 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
74 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
75 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
76 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +010077
78 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
79 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
80 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +010081
82 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
83 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +010084
85 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
86 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +010087
88 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
89 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
90 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
91 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
92 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
93 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
94 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
95 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010096
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +010097 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
98 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
99 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
100 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
101 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100102
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100103 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
104 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
105
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100106 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
107 spurious error when all seven possible items were
108 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100109
110 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
111 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
112
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100113 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
114 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
115
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100116 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
117 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
118 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
119 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
120 report.
121
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100122 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
123 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
124 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
125
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100126 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero
Simon Kelley3953dcc2013-07-03 20:40:45 +0100127 terminator. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the bug report.
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100128
Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100129 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
130 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
131
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100132 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
133 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
134 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
135 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
136
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100137 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
138 via DBus too.
139
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100140 When the address which triggered the construction of an
141 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
142 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
143 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
144 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
145 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
146 arguing for this.
147
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100148 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
149 for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100150
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100151 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
152 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
153 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
154 for suggesting this.
155
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100156 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
157 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
158
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100159 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
160 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
161 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
162 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
163 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
164
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100165 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
166 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100167
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100168 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
169 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
170
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100171 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
172 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
173 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
174
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100175 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
176 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
177
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100178 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
179 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
180 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
181 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
182 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100183
184 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
185 address must be either the first or last address in the
186 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
187 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100188
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100189 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
190
Tanguy Bouzelocef1d7422013-10-03 11:06:31 +0100191 Fix problem in DHCPv6 vendorclass/userclass matching
192 code. Thanks to Tanguy Bouzeloc for the patch.
193
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100194 Update Spanish transalation. Thanks to Vicente Soriano.
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100195
Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100196 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
197 inspiration on this.
198
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100199 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100200 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
201 for sponsoring this feature.
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100202
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100203 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
204 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
205
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100206 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
207 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
208 suggestion.
209
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100210 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
211 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
212 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
213 spotting the problem.
214
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100215 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
216 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.
217
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100218
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000219version 2.66
220 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
221 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
222 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
223 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
224 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
225 servers to be configured.
226
227 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
228 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
229 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
230 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
231 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
232 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
233 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
234 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000235
236 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000237 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
238 patch.
239
240 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
241 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
242 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
243 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
244 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
245 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
246 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000247
248 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
249 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
250 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000251
252 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
253 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000254 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000255 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
256 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
257 bounty for this addition.
258
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000259 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
260 information-requests with some common configurations.
261 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
262 chasing the problem.
263
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000264 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
265 patch.
266
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000267 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000268 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000269
270 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
271 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000272
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100273 Handle the situation where libc headers define
274 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
275 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
276 Felker for the bug report.
277
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100278 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100279
280 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
281 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
282 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100283
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100284 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.

Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000287version 2.65
288 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
289 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
290 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
291
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000292 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
293 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000294
295 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000296
297
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100298version 2.64
299 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
300 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
301 spotting the problem.
302
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100303 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
304 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
305 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
306 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
307 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
308 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
309
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100310 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
311 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
312
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100313 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100328 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
329 for the patch.
330
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100331 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
332 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
333 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
334
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100335 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
336 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
337 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
338 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
339
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100340 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
341 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
342 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
343
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100344 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
345 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
346 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
347
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000348 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
349 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
350 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000351
352 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
353 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.

355 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
356 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
357 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000358
359 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
360 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
361 without setting source address and interface, since this
362 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
363 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
364
365 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
366 dhcp-range on a subnet.

Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100372 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
373 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
374
375 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
376 stuff is pointless without that.
377
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100378 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
379 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
380 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100381
382 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
383 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100384
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100385 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
386 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
387 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
388 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
389 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
390 superceded by other mechanisms.
391
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100392 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
393 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
394
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100395 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100400 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
401 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
402 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
403 the suggestion.
404
405 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
406 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
407 spotted the ommission.

425
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100426 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router

429
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100430 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
431 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
432 for spotting this.
433
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100434 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
435 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
436 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
437
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100438 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
439
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100440 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
441 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
442 his help nailing this.
443
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000444version 2.61
445 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
446 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
447 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
448 addresses.
449
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100450 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
451 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
452 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
453 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
454 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
455 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000459 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
460 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
461 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100462 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking

466 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
467 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
468
469 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
470
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000471 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
472 suggestion.
473
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000474 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
475 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
476 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
477 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
478 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
479 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
480 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
481 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
482 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
483 Gadgil.
484
485 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
486 the above.
487
488 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
489 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000490 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
491 Forkel.
492
493 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
494 work even if there is no interface carrying the
495 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
496 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
497 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
498 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
499 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000501 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
502 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
503 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
504
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100505 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
506 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
507 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
508 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
509 for existing connections, but new connections will use
510 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
511 renumbering at least possible.
512
513 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100514 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000555 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
556 which is not the primary address of an interface.
557
558 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
559
560 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
561 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
562 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
563 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
564 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
565 implementation.
566
567 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
568 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
569 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
570 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
571 set them from the make command line.
572
573 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
574 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
575
576 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
577 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

583 containing many distinct addresses.
584
585 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
586 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
587 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
588 this.
589
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000590 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
591 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
592
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000593 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
594 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
595 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
596 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
597
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000598 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
599 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
600 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
601 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000602 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000603 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
604
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000605 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
606 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
607 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
608 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
609 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
610 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
611 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
612 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
613 These will be added as the standards mature.
614 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
615 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
616 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000617
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000618 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
619 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
620 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
621 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
622 enabling with --enable-ra.
623
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000624 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
625 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
626 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
627 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

633
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000634version 2.59
635 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
636 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
637 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
638 report.
639
640 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
641 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
642 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
643 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
644 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
645 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
646 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
647 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
648 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100649
650
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100651version 2.58
652 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
653 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
654
655 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
656 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
657 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
658
659 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
660 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
661 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
662 server-deployment applications need this.
663
664 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
665 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
666 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
667 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
668 in chasing this one down.
669
670 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
671 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
672 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
673 the problem.
674
675 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
676 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
677 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
678 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
679 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
680 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
681
682 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
683 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
684 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
685 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
686 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
687 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
688 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
689 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
690
691 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
692 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
693
694 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
695 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
696 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
697 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
698
699 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
700 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
701
702 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
703 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
704 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
705 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
706 Agrawal for the patch.
707
708 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
709 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
710 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
711 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
712 per-network values. So
713 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
714 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
715 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
716 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
717 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
718 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
719
720 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
721 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
722 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
723 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
724 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
725 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
726 a comprehensive test-case.
727
728 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
729 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr

732 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
733 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
734 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
735 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
736 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
737
738 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
739
740 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
741
742
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000743version 2.57
744 Add patches to allow build under Android.
745
746 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
747 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
748 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
749 effectively empty on Android.
750
751 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
752 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
753 wildcard.
754
755 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
756 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
757 spotting this.
758
759 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
760 IDN support continues to be included automatically
761 when i18n is included.
762 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
763
764 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
765 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
766 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
767
768
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000769version 2.56
770 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
771 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
772
773 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
774 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
775 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
776 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
777
778 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
779 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
780
781 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
782 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
783 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
784
785 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
786 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
787 syslogd.
788
789 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
790 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
791 Petrin for the orignal patch.
792
793 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
794 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
795 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
796
797 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
798 option, on the command line.
799
800 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
801 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
802
803 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
804 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
805 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
806 to John Hallam for the patch.
807
808 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
809 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
810 character chunks instead.
811
812 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
813 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
814 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
815 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
816
817 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
818 transfer has completed succesfully.
819
820 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
821 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
822 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
823 which automatically creates
824 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
825 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
826
827 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
828 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
829
830 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
831 thanks for that.
832
833 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
834 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
835 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
836 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
837 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
838 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
839 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
840 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
841 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
842
843 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
844 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
845 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
846 set.
847
848 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
849 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
850
851 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
852 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
853 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
854
855 Edit
856 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
857 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
858 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
859
860 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
861 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
862 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
863 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
864 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
865 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
866 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
867 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
868 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
869 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
870 So:
871 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
872 --server=/google.com/#
873 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
874 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
875 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
876 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
877 William for pointing out the need for this.
878
879 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
880 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
881 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
882
883 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
884 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
885 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
886 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
887
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000888 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
889 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks
890 to Fedor Kozhevnikov for spotting this.

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000894 Fix crash when /etc/ethers is in use. Thanks to
895 Gianluigi Tiesi for finding this.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100896
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000897 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
898 finding this one.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100899
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000900 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)
901 options.

904version 2.54
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000905 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
906 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.

908
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100909version 2.53
910 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
911 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
912
913 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
914 generated by gcc 4.4.
915
916 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
917 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
918
919 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
920 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
921 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
922
923 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
924 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
925 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
926 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
927 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
928 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
929 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
930 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
931 the documentation and new-style config files should be
932 much less confusing.
933
934 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
935 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
936 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
937
938 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
939
940 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
941
942 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
943 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
944 finding this.
945
946 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
947 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
948 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
949 from the client.
950
951 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
952 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
953 finding this.
954
955 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
956 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
957 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
958 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
959 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
960 server-override option.
961
962 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
963 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
964 allows a single line of the form
965 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
966 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
967 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
968 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
969 irrespective of the existance or lack of
970 interface=<interface>
971 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
972 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
973 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
974 configuration.
975
976 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
977
978 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
979 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
980
981 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
982 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
983 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
984 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
985
986 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
987 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
988 file, not the process/descriptor.
989
990 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
991 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
992
993 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
994 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
995 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
996 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
997 this and testing the fix.
998
999 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1000 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1001 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1002
1003 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1004 upstream servers: this allows something like
1005 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1006 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1007 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1008 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1009
1010 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1011 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1012 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1013 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1014 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1015 work on this.
1016
1017 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1018 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1019 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1020 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1021 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1022 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1023 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1024
1025 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1026
1027 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1028 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1029 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1030 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1031 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1032 here.
1033
1034 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1035
1036 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1037 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1038
1039 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1040 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1041 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1042 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1043 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1044
1045 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1046 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1047
1048 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1049 is set.
1050
1051 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1052 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1053
1054 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1055
1056 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1057
1058 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1059
1060 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1061
1062 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1063 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1064 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1065
1066 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1067
1068
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001069version 2.52
1070 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1071 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1072 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1073 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1074 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1075 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1076 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1077 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1078
1079 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1080 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1081 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1082 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1083
1084 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1085 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1086 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1087 when dnsmasq is first started.
1088
1089 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1090 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1091 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1092 with certain clients.
1093
1094 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1095 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1096 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1097
1098 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1099 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1100 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1101 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1102 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1103 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1104 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1105 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1106 numbers delimited by dots.
1107
1108 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1109 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1110
1111 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1112 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1113
1114 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1115 contrib/Solaris10.
1116
1117 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1118 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1119 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1120 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1121 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1122 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1123 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1124
1125 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1126 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1127 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1128 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1129
1130 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1131 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1132 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1133
1134 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1135 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1136 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1137
1138 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1139 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1140 looks like this:
1141 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1142
1143 Add some application specific code to assist in
1144 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1145 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1146
1147 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1148 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1149 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1150 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1151
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001152 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001153 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1154
1155 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1156 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1157 this.
1158
1159 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1160 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1161 providing this.
1162
1163 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1164 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1165
1166 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1167
1168 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1169
1170 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1171
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001172 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1173 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1174 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1175 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001176
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001177
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001178version 2.51
1179 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1180 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1181 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1182 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1183 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1184 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1185 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1186 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1187 suggestion.
1188
1189 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1190 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1191 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1192 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1193 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1194 a DHCP relay, if used.
1195 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1196
1197 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1198 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1199
1200 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1201 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1202 dhcp-option-force.
1203
1204 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1205 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1206 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1207
1208 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1209 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1210 the patch.
1211
1212 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1213
1214 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1215 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1216
1217 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1218 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1219 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1220 suggestion.
1221
1222 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1223 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1224 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1225 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1226 dhcp-optsfile.
1227
1228 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1229 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1230 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1231 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1232 suggestion.
1233
1234 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1235 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1236 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1237 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1238 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1239
1240 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1241 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1242 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1243 fragmented packets.
1244
1245 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1246 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1247
1248 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001252 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001253 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1254 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1255 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1256 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1257 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1258 and CVE: 2009-2957
1259
1260 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1261 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1262 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1263 CVE: 2009-2958
1264
1265
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001266version 2.49
1267 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1268 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1269
1270 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1271 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1272 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1273 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1274
1275 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001278version 2.48
1279 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1280 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1281 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001282
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001283 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1284 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1285 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001286
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001287 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1288 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1289 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001290
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001291 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1292 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1293 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1294 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001295
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001296 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1297 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001298
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001299 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1300 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1301 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1302 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001303
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001304 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1305 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1306 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001307
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001308 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1309 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1310 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001311
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001312 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001313
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001314 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1315 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1316 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1317 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1318 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1319 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1320 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1321 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1322 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001323
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001324 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1325 useful suggestions.
1326
1327 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1328 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1329 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1330
1331 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1332 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001333
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001334 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001335
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001336
1337version 2.47
1338 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1339
1340 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1341 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1342
1343 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1344 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1345 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1346
1347 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1348 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1349 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1350 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1351 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1352 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1353 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1354 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1355 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1356 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1357 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1358 Krafft for the bug report.
1359
1360 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1361
1362 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1363 Fix for this bug:
1364 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1365
1366 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1367 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1368 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1369 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1370
1371 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1372 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1373
1374 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1375
1376 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1377 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1378 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1379 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1380 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1381
1382 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1383 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1384
1385 No longer complain about blank lines in
1386 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1387
1388 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1389 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1390 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1391 for the bug report.
1392
1393 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1394 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1395 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1396 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1397
1398 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1399 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1400 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1401 as before.
1402 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1403 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1404 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1405
1406 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1407 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1408 Windows even when using supernetting.
1409 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1410 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1411 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1412 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1413
1414 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1415
1416 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1417 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1418 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1419 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1420 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1421 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1422 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001423
1424
1425version 2.46
1426 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1427 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1428 suggestion.
1429
1430 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1431 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1432 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1433 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1434 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1435
1436 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1437 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1438 based in their IP address.
1439
1440 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1441 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1442 a domain associated with each client, and only
1443 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1444 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1445 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1446 long as they are in different domains.
1447
1448 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1449 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1450 have now that it's variable.
1451
1452 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1453 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1454 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1455 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1456 potential.
1457
1458 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1459 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1460 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1461
1462 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1463 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1464
1465 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1466 which the DHCP request was received.
1467
1468 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1469 Laine for the patch.
1470
1471 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1472 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1473
1474 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1475 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1476 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1477 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1478 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1479 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1480 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1481 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1482 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1483 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1484 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1485
1486 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1487 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1488 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1489 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1490 improvement.
1491
1492 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1493 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1494 suggestions on this.
1495
1496 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1497 Fisher.
1498
1499 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1500
1501 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1502 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1503
1504 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1505
1506 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1507 up" event occurs.
1508
1509
1510version 2.45
1511 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1512 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1513 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1514 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1515
1516
1517version 2.44
1518 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1519 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1520 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1521
1522 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1523 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1524 never been reported in the wild.
1525
1526 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1527 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1528
1529 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1530 is large.
1531
1532 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1533 David Gilman.
1534
1535 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1536
1537
1538version 2.43
1539 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1540
1541 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1542 illegally.
1543
1544 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1545
1546 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1547 format.
1548
1549 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1550 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1551 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1552 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1553 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1554
1555 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1556 Rack for the bug report.
1557
1558 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1559 Bergquist.
1560
1561 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1562 option.
1563
1564 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1565 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1566
1567 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1568 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1569
1570 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1571 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1572 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1573 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1574 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1575 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1576 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1577 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1578 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1579 suggestions.
1580
1581 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1582 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1583 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1584
1585 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1586 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1587 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1588 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1589 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1590 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1591 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1592 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1593 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1594 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1595
1596 Replace the random number generator, for better
1597 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1598 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1599 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1600 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1601 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1602 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1603
1604 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1605 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1606 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1607 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1608 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1609
1610 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
