Simon Kelley903df072017-01-19 17:22:00 +00002 Generate an error when configured with a CNAME loop,
Simon Kelley0740e432017-01-26 18:02:54 +00003 rather than a crash. Thanks to George Metz for
Simon Kelley903df072017-01-19 17:22:00 +00004 spotting this problem.

Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +01006 Calculate the length of TFTP error reply packet
7 correctly. This fixes a problem when the error
8 message in a TFTP packet exceeds the arbitrary
9 limit of 500 characters. The message was correctly
10 truncated, but not the packet length, so
11 extra data was appended. This is a possible
12 security risk, since the extra data comes from
13 a buffer which is also used for DNS, so that
14 previous DNS queries or replies may be leaked.
15 Thanks to Mozilla for funding the security audit
16 which spotted this bug.
17
Ivan Kokshaysky1d076672016-07-11 18:36:05 +010018 Fix logic error in Linux netlink code. This could
19 cause dnsmasq to enter a tight loop on systems
20 with a very large number of network interfaces.
21 Thanks to Ivan Kokshaysky for the diagnosis and
22 patch.
23
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant06093a92016-07-11 21:03:27 +010024 Fix problem with --dnssec-timestamp whereby receipt
25 of SIGHUP would erroneously engage timestamp checking.
26 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for this work.
Simon Kelleyc8328ec2016-08-05 16:54:58 +010027
28 Bump zone serial on reloading /etc/hosts and friends
29 when providing authoritative DNS. Thanks to Harrald
30 Dunkel for spotting this.
Simon Kelley6d950992016-08-11 23:38:54 +010031
32 Handle v4-mapped IPv6 addresses sanely in --synth-domain.
33 These have standard representation like ::ffff:1.2.3.4
34 and are now converted to names like
35 <prefix>--ffff-1-2-3-4.<domain>
36
Beniamino Galvani2675f202016-08-28 20:44:05 +010037 Handle binding upstream servers to an interface
38 (--server=1.2.3.4@eth0) when the named interface
39 is destroyed and recreated in the kernel. Thanks to
40 Beniamino Galvani for the patch.
41
Simon Kelleyb637d782016-12-13 16:44:11 +000042 Allow wildcard CNAME records in authoritative zones.
43 For example --cname=*.example.com,default.example.com
44 Thanks to Pro Backup for sponsoring this development.
45
Simon Kelley09b768e2016-12-22 22:16:58 +000046 Bump the allowed backlog of TCP connections from 5 to 32,
47 and make this a compile-time configurable option. Thanks
48 to Donatas Abraitis for diagnosing this as a potential
49 problem.
50
ZHAO Yuf89cae32016-12-22 22:32:31 +000051 Add DNSMASQ_REQUESTED_OPTIONS environment variable to the
52 lease-change script. Thanks to ZHAO Yu for the patch.
Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +010053
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +000054 Fix foobar in rrfilter code, that could cause malformed
Simon Kelley0740e432017-01-26 18:02:54 +000055 replies, especially when DNSSEC validation on, and
56 the upstream server returns answer with the RRs in a
57 particular order. The only DNS server known to tickle
58 this is Nominum's. Thanks to Dave Täht for spotting the
59 bug and assisting in the fix.
60
Simon Kelleyd42d4702017-02-02 16:52:06 +000061 Fix the manpage which lied that only the primary address
62 of an interface is used by --interface-name.
63
64 Make --localise-queries apply to names from --interface-name.
65 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant and Eric Luehrsen
66 for pushing this.
67
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +000068 Improve connection handling when talking to TCP upstream
Simon Kelley361dfe52017-02-10 21:12:30 +000069 servers. Specifically, be prepared to open a new TCP
70 connection when we want to make multiple queries
71 but the upstream server accepts fewer queries per connection.
Hannu Nyman3e2496f2017-02-11 13:44:08 +000072
73 Improve logging of upstream servers when there are a lot
74 of "local addresses only" entries. Thanks to Hannu Nyman for
75 the patch.
Simon Kelley361dfe52017-02-10 21:12:30 +000076
Simon Kelley88a77a72017-02-11 17:02:02 +000077 Implement RFC 6842. Thanks to Reddeiah Raju Konduru for
78 pointing out that this was missing.
79
Simon Kelleyfca008d2017-02-19 18:50:41 +000080 Make --bogus-priv apply to IPv6, for the prefixes specified
81 in RFC6303. Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for work on this.
Floris Bos60704f52017-04-09 22:22:49 +010082
83 Allow use of MAC addresses with --tftp-unique-root. Thanks
84 to Floris Bos for the patch.
Floris Bos503c6092017-04-09 23:07:13 +010085
86 Add --dhcp-reply-delay option. Thanks to Floris Bos
87 for the patch.
David Flamand005c46d2017-04-11 11:49:54 +010088
89 Add mtu setting facility to --ra-param. Thanks to David
90 Flamand for the patch.
Petr Menšíkc77fb9d2017-04-16 20:20:08 +010091
92 Capture STDOUT and STDERR output from dhcp-script and log
93 it as part of the dnsmasq log stream. Makes life easier
94 for diagnosing unexpected problems in scripts.
95 Thanks to Petr Mensik for the patch.
96
Petr Menšík3a8b0f62017-04-23 14:12:37 +010097 Generate fatal errors when failing to parse the output
98 of the dhcp-script in "init" mode. Avoids strange errors
99 when the script accidentally emits error messages.
100 Thanks to Petr Mensik for the patch.
101
Vladislav Grishenko5a7212c2017-04-24 22:19:57 +0100102 Make --rev-server for an RFC1918 subnet work even in the
103 presence of the --bogus-priv flag. Thanks to
104 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Simon Kelley88a77a72017-02-11 17:02:02 +0000105
Vladislav Grishenko6ec5f5c2017-04-24 22:34:45 +0100106 Extend --ra-param mtu: field to allow an interface name.
107 This allows the MTU of a WAN interface to be advertised on
108 the internal interfaces of a router. Thanks to
109 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
110
111
Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +0100112version 2.76
113 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
114 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
115 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
116 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
117 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Floris Bos503c6092017-04-09 23:07:13 +0100118
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +0100119 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
120 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +0100121
122 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
123 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
124 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
125 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
126
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +0000127 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
128 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
129 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
130 the patch.
131
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +0000132 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
133 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
134 for the patch.
135
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +0000136 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
137 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
138 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
139 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
140 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
141
142 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
143 not SERVFAIL.
144
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +0000145 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
146 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000147
148 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
149 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000150 removal of entries in the ARP or neighbour tables.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000151
152 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000153 as base64, by configuring --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000154
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000155 Add --add-cpe-id option.
156
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000157 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
158 is declared as a whole /64.
159 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
160 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
161
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +0000162 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
163 --cname.
164
165 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000166
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000167 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
168 initial patch.
169
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +0100170 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
171 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
172 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
173 for spotting this.
174
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +0100175 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
176 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
177 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
178
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +0100179 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
180 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
181
182 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
183 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
184
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100185 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
186 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
187 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +0100188 in src/config.h.
189
190 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
191 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
192 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
193 will need to update your config.
194
195 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
196 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100197
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100198 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
199 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
200 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000201 work with these architectures.
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100202
203 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
204 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
205 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
206 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
207 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
208 single-item boot menu.
209
210 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
211 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
212
Simon Kelleyda2cad42016-05-18 15:14:08 +0100213 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
214 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
215 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
216 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
217 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
218 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
219 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
220 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
221 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
222 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
223 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
224 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
225 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
226 have a config with a basename which already has a
227 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
228 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
229 name.suffix
230
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000231
Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +0100232version 2.75
233 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
234 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
235 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
236
237
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +0100238version 2.74
239 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
240 read the default file, rather than no file.
241
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100242 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
243 not SEGV in some circumstances.
244
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100245 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
246 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
247 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
248
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100249
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100250version 2.73
251 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
252 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
253 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000254
255 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
256 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
257 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
258
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000259 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
260 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000261 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
262 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
263 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000264
265 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
266 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
267 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000268
269 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
270 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
271 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
272 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000273
274 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
275 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000276
277 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
278 queries which include the specified address. No error is
279 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
280 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
281 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
282 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
283 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000284
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000285 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
286 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
287 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
288 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
289 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
290 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
291 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
292 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100293
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000294 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
295 to search automatically.
296
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000297 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
298 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
299 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
300 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
301 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000302 floor of one hour. Thanks to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000303
304 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
305 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
306 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000307
308 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
309 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
310 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
311 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000312
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000313 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
314 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
315 for the patch.
316
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000317 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000318
319 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100320 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
321 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
322 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
323 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100324
325 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
326 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100327
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100328 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
329 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
330 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
331 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
332 sterling work chasing this down.
333
334 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
335 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100336 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
337 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
338 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100339
340 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
341 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
342 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
343 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
344 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
345 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
346 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
347 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100348
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100349 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
350 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
351 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
352 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
353 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
354 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100355 pointing out the problem.
356

Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100410 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
411 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
412 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
413 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
414 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.

470 for spotting the problem.
471
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000472 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
473 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
474 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
475 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
476 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
477
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000478 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
479 compiled with this enabled, with
480
481 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
482
483 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
484 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
485 statically with
486
487 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
488
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100489 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
490 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
491
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000492 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
493 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
494 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
495 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
496 distribution. You should of course check that these are
497 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
498
499 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
500 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000501
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +0000502 to your config is all that's needed to get things
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000503 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
504 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
505 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
506 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
507 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
508 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
509 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
510 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
511 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
512 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
513 records, which significantly improve the performance of
514 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
515 DNSSEC in action.
516
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100517 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
518 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
519 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
520 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
521 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
522 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
523 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
524 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
525 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
526 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
527 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
528 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
529 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
530 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
531 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
532 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
533
534 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
535 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
536 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
537 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
538 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
539 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
540 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
541 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
542 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
543 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
544 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
545 henceforward will be complete.
546
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000547 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
548 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
549 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
550 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
551 a workable state.
552
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000553 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.

Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000558 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
559 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
560 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000561 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000562 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
563 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
564 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
565 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
566
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000567 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs

582 addresses.
583
584 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
585 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
586 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
587 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
588 restarted, this bug disappeared.

590 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
591 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
592
593 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
594
595 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
596 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
597 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
598 are dynamic and works much better than the previous

Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000600 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
601 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
602 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000603 constructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000604 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
605 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
606 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
607 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000608

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

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

637 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
638 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
639 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
640 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
641 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
642 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
643 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
644 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

656 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
657 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
658 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
659 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
660 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
661 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
662 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
663 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100716 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
717 for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100718
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100719 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
720 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
721 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
722 for suggesting this.
723
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100724 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
725 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
726
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100727 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
728 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
729 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
730 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
731 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
732
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100733 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
734 for sponsoring this development.

Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100736 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
737 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
738
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100739 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
740 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
741 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
742
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100743 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
744 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
745
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100746 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
747 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
748 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
749 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
750 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100751
752 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
753 address must be either the first or last address in the
754 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
755 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100771 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
772 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
773
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100774 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
775 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
776 suggestion.
777
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100778 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000779 as eligible for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100780 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
781 spotting the problem.
782
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100783 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000787version 2.66
788 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
789 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
790 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
791 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
792 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
793 servers to be configured.
794
795 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
796 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
797 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
798 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
799 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
800 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
801 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
802 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000803
804 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000805 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
806 patch.
807
808 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
809 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
810 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
811 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
812 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
813 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
814 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000815
816 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
817 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
818 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000819
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000820 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBSCRIBER_ID,
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000821 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000822 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000823 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
824 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
825 bounty for this addition.
826
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000827 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
828 information-requests with some common configurations.
829 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
830 chasing the problem.
831
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000832 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
833 patch.
834
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000835 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000836 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000837
838 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
839 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000840
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100841 Handle the situation where libc headers define
842 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
843 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
844 Felker for the bug report.
845
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100846 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100847
848 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
849 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
850 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100851
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100852 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
853
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000854
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000855version 2.65
856 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
857 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
858 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
859
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000860 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
861 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000862
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000863 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke caching.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000864
865
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100866version 2.64
867 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
868 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
869 spotting the problem.
870
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100871 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
872 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
873 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000874 generate a warning. Now that only happens if there is not
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100875 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
876 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
877
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100878 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
879 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
880
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100881 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
882 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
883
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000884 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in startup logging. Thanks to

886
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000887 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan

889
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000890 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
891 Roy Marples for the patch.
892
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000893 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thanks to Cristian
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100894 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100895
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100896 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
897 for the patch.
898
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100899 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000900 infinite loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100901 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
902
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100903 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
904 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
905 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
906 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
907
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100908 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
909 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
910 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
911
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100912 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
913 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
914 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
915
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000916 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
917 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
918 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000919
920 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
921 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000922
923 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
924 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
925 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000926
927 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
928 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
929 without setting source address and interface, since this
930 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
931 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
932
933 Get RA timers right when there is more than one

939
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100940 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
941 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
942
943 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
944 stuff is pointless without that.
945
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100946 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
947 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
948 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100949

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100953 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
954 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
955 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
956 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
957 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +0000958 superseded by other mechanisms.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100968 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
969 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
970 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
971 the suggestion.
972
973 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
974 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000975 spotted the omission.

982 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
983
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100984 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router

993
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100994 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
995 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to

997
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100998 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
999 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
1000 for spotting this.

1005
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +01001006 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
1007
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +01001008 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
1009 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
1010 his help nailing this.
1011
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +00001012version 2.61
1013 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
1014 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
1015 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
1016 addresses.
1017
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +01001018 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
1019 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
1020 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
1021 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
1022 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
1023 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001028 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
1029 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets

Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001033 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
1034 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
1035 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
1036
1037 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
1038
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +00001039 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
1040 suggestion.
1041
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001042 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
1043 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
1044 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001045 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilities
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001046 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
1047 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
1048 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
1049 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
1050 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
1051 Gadgil.
1052
1053 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
1054 the above.
1055
1056 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
1057 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +00001058 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
1059 Forkel.
1060
1061 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
1062 work even if there is no interface carrying the
1063 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
1064 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
1065 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
1066 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
1067 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001068
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +00001069 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
1070 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
1071 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
1072
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001073 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
1074 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001075 preferred lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001076 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
1077 for existing connections, but new connections will use
1078 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
1079 renumbering at least possible.
1080
1081 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001082 acquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +01001091 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001092 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-existent
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +01001093 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +01001094
1095 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001096 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +01001097 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
1098 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
1099 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +01001100 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

1110 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
1111 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the

1120 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
1121 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001122
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001123 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
1124 which is not the primary address of an interface.
1125
1126 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
1127
1128 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1129 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1130 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1131 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1132 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1133 implementation.
1134
1135 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1136 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1137 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1138 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1139 set them from the make command line.
1140
1141 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1142 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
1143
1144 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1145 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
1146
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +00001147 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
1148 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001149
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001150 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1151 containing many distinct addresses.
1152
1153 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1154 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1155 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1156 this.
1157
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001158 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1159 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
1160
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001161 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1162 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1163 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1164 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1165
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001166 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1167 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1168 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1169 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001170 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001171 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1172
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001173 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1174 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1175 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1176 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1177 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1178 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1179 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1180 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1181 These will be added as the standards mature.
1182 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1183 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1184 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001185
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001186 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1187 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1188 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1189 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1190 enabling with --enable-ra.
1191
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001192 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1193 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1194 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1195 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +00001196

1201
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001202version 2.59
1203 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1204 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1205 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1206 report.
1207
1208 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1209 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1210 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1211 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1212 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1213 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1214 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1215 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1216 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001217
1218
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001219version 2.58
1220 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1221 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1222
1223 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1224 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1225 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1226
1227 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1228 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1229 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1230 server-deployment applications need this.
1231
1232 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1233 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1234 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1235 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1236 in chasing this one down.
1237
1238 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1239 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1240 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1241 the problem.
1242
1243 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1244 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +00001245 desirable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001246 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1247 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1248 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1249
1250 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1251 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1252 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1253 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1254 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1255 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1256 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1257 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1258
1259 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1260 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1261
1262 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1263 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1264 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1265 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1266
1267 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1268 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1269
1270 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1271 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1272 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1273 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1274 Agrawal for the patch.
1275
1276 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1277 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1278 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1279 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1280 per-network values. So
1281 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1282 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1283 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1284 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1285 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1286 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1287
1288 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1289 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1290 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1291 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1292 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1293 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1294 a comprehensive test-case.
1295
1296 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1297 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001298 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001299
1300 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1301 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1302 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1303 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1304 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001311version 2.57
1312 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1313
1314 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1315 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1316 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1317 effectively empty on Android.
1318
1319 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1320 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1321 wildcard.
1322
1323 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1324 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1325 spotting this.
1326
1327 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1328 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1329 when i18n is included.
1330 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1331
1332 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1333 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1334 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1335
1336
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001337version 2.56
1338 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1339 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1340
1341 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1342 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1343 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1344 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1345
1346 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1347 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1348
1349 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1350 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1351 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1352
1353 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1354 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1355 syslogd.
1356
1357 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1358 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +00001359 Petrin for the original patch.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001360
1361 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1362 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1363 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1364
1365 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1366 option, on the command line.
1367
1368 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1369 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1370
1371 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001372 b) --keep-in-foreground is set. The logging facility on the
1373 other end of stderr can be assumed to supply them. Thanks
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001374 to John Hallam for the patch.
1375
1376 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1377 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1378 character chunks instead.
1379
1380 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1381 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1382 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1383 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1384
1385 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001386 transfer has completed successfully.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001387
1388 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1389 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1390 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1391 which automatically creates
1392 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1393 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1394
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001395 Tighten up syntax checking of hex constants in the config
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001396 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1397
1398 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1399 thanks for that.
1400
1401 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1402 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1403 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1404 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1405 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1406 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1407 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1408 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1409 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1410
1411 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1412 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1413 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1414 set.
1415
1416 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1417 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1418
1419 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1420 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1421 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1422
1423 Edit
1424 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1425 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1426 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1427
1428 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1429 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1430 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1431 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1432 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001433 override this behaviour by defining the semantics if the
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001434 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1435 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1436 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001437 of the address family which doesn't appear in --address
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001438 So:
1439 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1440 --server=/google.com/#
1441 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1442 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1443 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1444 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1445 William for pointing out the need for this.
1446
1447 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1448 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1449 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1450
1451 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1452 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1453 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1454 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1455
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001456 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001477version 2.53
1478 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1479 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1480
1481 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1482 generated by gcc 4.4.
1483
1484 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1485 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1486
1487 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1488 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1489 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1490
1491 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1492 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1493 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1494 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1495 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1496 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1497 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1498 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1499 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1500 much less confusing.
1501
1502 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1503 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1504 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1505
1506 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1507
1508 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1509
1510 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1511 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1512 finding this.
1513
1514 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1515 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1516 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1517 from the client.
1518
1519 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1520 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1521 finding this.
1522
1523 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1524 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1525 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1526 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1527 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1528 server-override option.
1529
1530 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1531 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1532 allows a single line of the form
1533 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1534 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1535 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1536 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001537 irrespective of the existence or lack of
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001538 interface=<interface>
1539 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1540 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1541 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1542 configuration.
1543
1544 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1545
1546 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1547 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1548
1549 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1550 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1551 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1552 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1553
1554 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1555 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1556 file, not the process/descriptor.
1557
1558 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1559 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1560
1561 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1562 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1563 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1564 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1565 this and testing the fix.
1566
1567 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1568 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1569 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1570
1571 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1572 upstream servers: this allows something like
1573 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1574 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1575 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1576 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1577
1578 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1579 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1580 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1581 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1582 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1583 work on this.
1584
1585 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1586 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1587 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1588 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1589 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1590 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1591 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1592
1593 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1594
1595 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1596 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1597 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1598 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1599 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1600 here.
1601
1602 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1603
1604 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1605 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1606
1607 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1608 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1609 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1610 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1611 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1612
1613 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1614 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1615
1616 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1617 is set.
1618
1619 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1620 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1621
1622 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1623
1624 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1625
1626 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1627
1628 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1629
1630 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1631 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1632 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1633
1634 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1635
1636
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001637version 2.52
1638 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1639 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1640 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1641 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1642 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1643 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1644 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1645 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1646
1647 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1648 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1649 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1650 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1651
1652 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1653 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1654 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1655 when dnsmasq is first started.
1656
1657 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1658 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1659 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1660 with certain clients.
1661
1662 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1663 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1664 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1665
1666 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1667 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1668 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1669 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1670 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1671 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1672 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1673 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1674 numbers delimited by dots.
1675
1676 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1677 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1678
1679 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1680 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1681
1682 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1683 contrib/Solaris10.
1684
1685 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1686 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1687 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1688 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1689 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1690 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1691 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1692
1693 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1694 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1695 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1696 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1697
1698 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1699 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1700 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1701
1702 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1703 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1704 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1705
1706 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1707 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1708 looks like this:
1709 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1710
1711 Add some application specific code to assist in
1712 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1713 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1714
1715 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1716 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1717 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1718 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1719
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001720 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001721 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1722
1723 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1724 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1725 this.
1726
1727 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1728 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1729 providing this.
1730
1731 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1732 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1733
1734 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1735
1736 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

1738 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1739
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001740 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1741 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1742 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1743 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001744
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001745
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001746version 2.51
1747 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1748 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1749 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1750 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1751 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1752 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1753 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1754 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1755 suggestion.
1756
1757 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1758 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1759 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1760 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1761 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1762 a DHCP relay, if used.
1763 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1764
1765 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1766 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1767
1768 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1769 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1770 dhcp-option-force.
1771
1772 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1773 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1774 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1775
1776 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1777 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1778 the patch.
1779
1780 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1781
1782 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1783 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1784
1785 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1786 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1787 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1788 suggestion.
1789
1790 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1791 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1792 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1793 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1794 dhcp-optsfile.
1795
1796 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1797 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1798 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1799 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1800 suggestion.
1801
1802 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1803 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1804 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1805 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1806 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1807
1808 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1809 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1810 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1811 fragmented packets.
1812
1813 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1814 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1815

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001821 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1822 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security

1827
1828 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to

1835 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1836 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1837
1838 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1839 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1840 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1841 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1842
1843 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001859 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1860 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1861 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1862 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001863
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001864 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1865 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001866
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001867 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1868 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1869 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1870 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001871
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001872 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1873 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1874 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001875
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001876 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1877 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1878 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001879
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001880 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001881
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001882 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1883 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1884 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1885 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1886 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1887 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1888 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1889 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1890 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001891
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001892 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1893 useful suggestions.
1894
1895 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1896 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1897 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1898
1899 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1900 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001901
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001902 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001903
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001904
1905version 2.47
1906 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1907
1908 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1909 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1910
1911 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1912 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001913 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overridden in CFLAGS.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001914
1915 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1916 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1917 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1918 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1919 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1920 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1921 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1922 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1923 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1924 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1925 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1926 Krafft for the bug report.
1927
1928 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1929
1930 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1931 Fix for this bug:
1932 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1933
1934 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1935 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1936 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1937 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1938
1939 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1940 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1941
1942 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1943
1944 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1945 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1946 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1947 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1948 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1949
1950 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1951 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1952
1953 No longer complain about blank lines in
1954 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1955
1956 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1957 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1958 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1959 for the bug report.
1960
1961 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1962 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1963 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1964 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1965
1966 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1967 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1968 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1969 as before.
1970 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1971 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1972 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1973
1974 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1975 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1976 Windows even when using supernetting.
1977 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1978 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1979 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1980 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1981
1982 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1983
1984 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1985 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1986 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1987 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1988 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1989 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1990 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001991
1992
1993version 2.46
1994 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1995 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1996 suggestion.
1997
1998 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1999 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
2000 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
2001 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
2002 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
2003
2004 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
2005 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
2006 based in their IP address.
2007
2008 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
2009 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
2010 a domain associated with each client, and only
2011 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
2012 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
2013 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
2014 long as they are in different domains.
2015
2016 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
2017 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
2018 have now that it's variable.
2019
2020 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
2021 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
2022 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
2023 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
2024 potential.
2025
2026 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
2027 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
2028 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
2029
2030 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
2031 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
2032
2033 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
2034 which the DHCP request was received.
2035
2036 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
2037 Laine for the patch.
2038
2039 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
2040 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
2041
2042 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
2043 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
2044 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
2045 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
2046 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
2047 address to a host which has two network interfaces
2048 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
2049 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
2050 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
2051 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
2052 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
2053
2054 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
2055 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
2056 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
2057 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
2058 improvement.
2059
2060 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
2061 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
2062 suggestions on this.
2063
2064 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
2065 Fisher.
2066
2067 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2068
2069 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
2070 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
2071
2072 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
2073
2074 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
2075 up" event occurs.
2076
2077
2078version 2.45
2079 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
2080 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
2081 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
2082 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
2083
2084
2085version 2.44
2086 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
2087 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
2088 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
2089
2090 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
2091 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
2092 never been reported in the wild.
2093
2094 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
2095 Jean Wolter for finding this.
2096
2097 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
2098 is large.
2099
2100 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
2101 David Gilman.
2102
2103 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
2104
2105
2106version 2.43
2107 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2108
2109 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
2110 illegally.
2111
2112 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
2113
2114 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
2115 format.
2116
2117 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2118 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2119 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2120 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2121 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
2122
2123 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
2124 Rack for the bug report.
2125
2126 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
2127 Bergquist.
2128
2129 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
2130 option.
2131
2132 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2133 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
2134
2135 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2136 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
2137
2138 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2139 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2140 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2141 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2142 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2143 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2144 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2145 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2146 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2147 suggestions.
2148
2149 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2150 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2151 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2152
2153 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2154 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2155 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2156 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2157 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2158 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2159 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2160 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2161 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2162 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2163
2164 Replace the random number generator, for better
2165 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2166 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2167 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2168 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2169 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2170 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2171
2172 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2173 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2174 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2175 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2176 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2177
2178 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
