Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +01001version 2.67
2 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
3 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
4 this and supplying the patch.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +00007version 2.66
8 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
9 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
10 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
11 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
12 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
13 servers to be configured.
14
15 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
16 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
17 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
18 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
19 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
20 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
21 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
22 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +000023
24 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +000025 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
26 patch.
27
28 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
29 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
30 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
31 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
32 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
33 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
34 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +000035
36 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
37 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
38 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +000039
40 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
41 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +000042 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +000043 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
44 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
45 bounty for this addition.
46
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +000047 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
48 information-requests with some common configurations.
49 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
50 chasing the problem.
51
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +000052 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
53 patch.
54
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +000055 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +000056 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +000057
58 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
59 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +000060
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +010061 Handle the situation where libc headers define
62 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
63 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
64 Felker for the bug report.
65
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +010066 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +010067
68 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
69 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
70 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +010071
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +010072 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.

Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +000074
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +000075version 2.65
76 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
77 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
78 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
79
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +000080 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
81 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +000082
83 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +000084
85
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +010086version 2.64
87 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
88 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
89 spotting the problem.
90
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +010091 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
92 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
93 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
94 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
95 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
96 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
97
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +010098 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
99 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
100
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100101 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
102 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
103
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100104 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
105 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
106
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000107 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100108 Williams for the patch.
109
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000110 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
111 Roy Marples for the patch.
112
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100113 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
114 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100115
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100116 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
117 for the patch.
118
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100119 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
120 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
121 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
122
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100123 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
124 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
125 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
126 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
127
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100128 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
129 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
130 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
131
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100132 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
133 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
134 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
135
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000136 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
137 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
138 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000139
140 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
141 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000142
143 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
144 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
145 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000146
147 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
148 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
149 without setting source address and interface, since this
150 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
151 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
152
153 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
154 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100155
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000156
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100157version 2.63
158 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
159
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100160 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
161 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
162
163 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
164 stuff is pointless without that.
165
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100166 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
167 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
168 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100169
170 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
171 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100172
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100173 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
174 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
175 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
176 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
177 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
178 superceded by other mechanisms.
179
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100180 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
181 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
182
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100183 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
184 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
185
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100186 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100187
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100188 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
189 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
190 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
191 the suggestion.
192
193 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
194 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
195 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100196
197 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100198
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100199 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
200 which overrides the default,
201 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
202 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
203
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100204 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
205 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
206
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100207
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100208version 2.62
209 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
210
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100211 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
212 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
213
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100214 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
215 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
216 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
217
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100218 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
219 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
220 for spotting this.
221
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100222 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
223 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
224 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
225
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100226 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
227
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100228 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
229 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
230 his help nailing this.
231
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000232version 2.61
233 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
234 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
235 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
236 addresses.
237
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100238 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
239 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
240 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
241 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
242 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
243 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000244
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000245 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
246
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000247 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
248 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
249 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100250 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000251 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000252
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000253 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
254 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
255 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
256
257 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
258
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000259 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
260 suggestion.
261
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000262 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
263 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
264 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
265 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
266 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
267 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
268 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
269 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
270 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
271 Gadgil.
272
273 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
274 the above.
275
276 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
277 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000278 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
279 Forkel.
280
281 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
282 work even if there is no interface carrying the
283 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
284 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
285 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
286 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
287 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000288
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000289 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
290 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
291 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
292
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100293 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
294 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
295 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
296 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
297 for existing connections, but new connections will use
298 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
299 renumbering at least possible.
300
301 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100302 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100303
304 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100311 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it

Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100317 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
318 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
319 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100320 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000343 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
344 which is not the primary address of an interface.
345
346 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
347
348 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
349 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
350 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
351 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
352 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
353 implementation.
354
355 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
356 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
357 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
358 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
359 set them from the make command line.
360
361 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
362 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
363
364 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
365 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
366
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000367 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
368 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000369
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000370 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
371 containing many distinct addresses.
372
373 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
374 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
375 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
376 this.
377
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000378 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
379 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
380
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000381 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
382 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
383 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
384 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
385
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000386 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
387 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
388 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
389 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000390 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000391 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
392
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000393 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
394 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
395 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
396 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
397 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
398 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
399 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
400 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
401 These will be added as the standards mature.
402 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
403 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
404 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000405
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000406 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
407 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
408 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
409 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
410 enabling with --enable-ra.
411
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000412 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
413 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
414 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
415 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000416
417 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000418
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000419 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
420
421
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000422version 2.59
423 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
424 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
425 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
426 report.
427
428 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
429 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
430 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
431 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
432 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
433 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
434 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
435 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
436 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100437
438
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100439version 2.58
440 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
441 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
442
443 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
444 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
445 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
446
447 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
448 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
449 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
450 server-deployment applications need this.
451
452 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
453 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
454 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
455 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
456 in chasing this one down.
457
458 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
459 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
460 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
461 the problem.
462
463 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
464 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
465 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
466 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
467 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
468 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
469
470 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
471 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
472 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
473 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
474 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
475 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
476 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
477 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
478
479 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
480 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
481
482 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
483 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
484 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
485 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
486
487 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
488 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
489
490 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
491 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
492 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
493 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
494 Agrawal for the patch.
495
496 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
497 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
498 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
499 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
500 per-network values. So
501 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
502 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
503 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
504 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
505 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
506 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
507
508 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
509 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
510 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
511 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
512 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
513 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
514 a comprehensive test-case.
515
516 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
517 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100518 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100519
520 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
521 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
522 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
523 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
524 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
525
526 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
527
528 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
529
530
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000531version 2.57
532 Add patches to allow build under Android.
533
534 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
535 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
536 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
537 effectively empty on Android.
538
539 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
540 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
541 wildcard.
542
543 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
544 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
545 spotting this.
546
547 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
548 IDN support continues to be included automatically
549 when i18n is included.
550 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
551
552 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
553 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
554 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
555
556
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000557version 2.56
558 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
559 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
560
561 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
562 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
563 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
564 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
565
566 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
567 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
568
569 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
570 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
571 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
572
573 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
574 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
575 syslogd.
576
577 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
578 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
579 Petrin for the orignal patch.
580
581 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
582 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
583 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
584
585 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
586 option, on the command line.
587
588 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
589 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
590
591 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
592 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
593 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
594 to John Hallam for the patch.
595
596 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
597 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
598 character chunks instead.
599
600 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
601 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
602 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
603 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
604
605 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
606 transfer has completed succesfully.
607
608 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
609 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
610 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
611 which automatically creates
612 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
613 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
614
615 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
616 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
617
618 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
619 thanks for that.
620
621 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
622 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
623 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
624 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
625 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
626 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
627 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
628 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
629 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
630
631 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
632 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
633 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
634 set.
635
636 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
637 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
638
639 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
640 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
641 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
642
643 Edit
644 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
645 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
646 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
647
648 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
649 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
650 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
651 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
652 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
653 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
654 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
655 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
656 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
657 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
658 So:
659 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
660 --server=/google.com/#
661 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
662 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
663 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
664 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
665 William for pointing out the need for this.
666
667 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
668 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
669 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
670
671 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
672 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
673 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
674 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
675
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000676 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

698 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
699 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
700
701 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
702 generated by gcc 4.4.
703
704 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
705 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
706
707 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
708 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
709 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
710
711 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
712 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
713 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
714 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
715 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
716 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
717 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
718 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
719 the documentation and new-style config files should be
720 much less confusing.
721
722 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
723 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
724 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
725
726 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
727
728 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
729
730 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
731 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
732 finding this.
733
734 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
735 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
736 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
737 from the client.
738
739 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
740 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
741 finding this.
742
743 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
744 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
745 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
746 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
747 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
748 server-override option.
749
750 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
751 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
752 allows a single line of the form
753 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
754 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
755 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
756 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
757 irrespective of the existance or lack of
758 interface=<interface>
759 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
760 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
761 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
762 configuration.
763
764 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
765
766 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
767 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
768
769 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
770 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
771 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
772 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
773
774 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
775 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
776 file, not the process/descriptor.
777
778 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
779 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
780
781 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
782 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
783 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
784 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
785 this and testing the fix.
786
787 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
788 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
789 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
790
791 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
792 upstream servers: this allows something like
793 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
794 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
795 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
796 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
797
798 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
799 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
800 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
801 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
802 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
803 work on this.
804
805 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
806 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
807 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
808 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
809 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
810 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
811 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
812
813 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
814
815 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
816 than one server available for a domain, eg.
817 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
818 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
819 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
820 here.
821
822 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
823
824 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
825 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
826
827 Fix regression which caused configuration like
828 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
829 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
830 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
831 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
832
833 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
834 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
835
836 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
837 is set.
838
839 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
840 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
841
842 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
843
844 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
845
846 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
847
848 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
849
850 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
851 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
852 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
853
854 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000857version 2.52
858 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
859 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
860 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
861 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
862 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
863 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
864 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
865 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
866
867 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
868 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
869 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
870 necessary for some *WRT distros.
871
872 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
873 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
874 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
875 when dnsmasq is first started.
876
877 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
878 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
879 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
880 with certain clients.
881
882 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
883 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
884 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
885
886 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
887 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
888 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
889 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
890 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
891 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
892 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
893 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
894 numbers delimited by dots.
895
896 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
897 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
898
899 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
900 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
901
902 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
903 contrib/Solaris10.
904
905 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
906 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
907 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
908 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
909 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
910 addresses available in such an installation removes a
911 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
912
913 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
914 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
915 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
916 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
917
918 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
919 the lease-change script in the environment variable
920 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
921
922 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
923 Options". The syntax looks like this:
924 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
925
926 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
927 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
928 looks like this:
929 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
930
931 Add some application specific code to assist in
932 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
933 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
934
935 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
936 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
937 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
938 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
939
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100940 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000941 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
942
943 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
944 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
945 this.
946
947 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
948 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
949 providing this.
950
951 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
952 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
953
954 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
955
956 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
957
958 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
959
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100960 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
961 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
962 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
963 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000964
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100965
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100966version 2.51
967 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
968 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
969 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
970 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
971 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
972 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
973 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
974 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
975 suggestion.
976
977 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
978 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
979 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
980 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
981 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
982 a DHCP relay, if used.
983 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
984
985 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
986 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
987
988 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
989 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
990 dhcp-option-force.
991
992 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
993 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
994 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
995
996 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
997 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
998 the patch.
999
1000 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1001
1002 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1003 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1004
1005 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1006 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1007 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1008 suggestion.
1009
1010 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1011 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1012 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1013 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1014 dhcp-optsfile.
1015
1016 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1017 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1018 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1019 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1020 suggestion.
1021
1022 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1023 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1024 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1025 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1026 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1027
1028 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1029 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1030 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1031 fragmented packets.
1032
1033 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1034 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1035
1036 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001040 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001041 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1042 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1043 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1044 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1045 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1046 and CVE: 2009-2957
1047
1048 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1049 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1050 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1051 CVE: 2009-2958

1055 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1056 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1057
1058 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1059 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1060 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1061 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1062
1063 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001066version 2.48
1067 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1068 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1069 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001070
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001071 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1072 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1073 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001074
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001075 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1076 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1077 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001078
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001079 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1080 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1081 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1082 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001083
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001084 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1085 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001086
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001087 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1088 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1089 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1090 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001091
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001092 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1093 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1094 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001095
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001096 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1097 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1098 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001099
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001100 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001101
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001102 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1103 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1104 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1105 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1106 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1107 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1108 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1109 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1110 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001111
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001112 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1113 useful suggestions.
1114
1115 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1116 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1117 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1118
1119 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1120 configuration files only.

1125version 2.47
1126 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1127
1128 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1129 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1130
1131 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1132 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1133 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1134
1135 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1136 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1137 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1138 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1139 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1140 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1141 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1142 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1143 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1144 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1145 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1146 Krafft for the bug report.
1147
1148 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1149
1150 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1151 Fix for this bug:
1152 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1153
1154 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1155 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1156 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1157 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1158
1159 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1160 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1161
1162 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1163
1164 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1165 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1166 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1167 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1168 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1169
1170 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1171 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1172
1173 No longer complain about blank lines in
1174 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1175
1176 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1177 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1178 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1179 for the bug report.
1180
1181 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1182 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1183 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1184 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1185
1186 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1187 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1188 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1189 as before.
1190 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1191 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1192 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1193
1194 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1195 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1196 Windows even when using supernetting.
1197 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1198 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1199 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1200 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1201
1202 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1203
1204 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1205 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1206 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1207 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1208 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1209 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1210 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001211
1212
1213version 2.46
1214 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1215 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1216 suggestion.
1217
1218 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1219 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1220 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1221 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1222 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1223
1224 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1225 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1226 based in their IP address.
1227
1228 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1229 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1230 a domain associated with each client, and only
1231 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1232 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1233 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1234 long as they are in different domains.
1235
1236 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1237 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1238 have now that it's variable.
1239
1240 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1241 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1242 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1243 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1244 potential.
1245
1246 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1247 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1248 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1249
1250 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1251 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1252
1253 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1254 which the DHCP request was received.
1255
1256 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1257 Laine for the patch.
1258
1259 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1260 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1261
1262 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1263 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1264 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1265 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1266 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1267 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1268 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1269 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1270 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1271 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1272 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1273
1274 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1275 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1276 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1277 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1278 improvement.
1279
1280 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1281 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1282 suggestions on this.
1283
1284 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1285 Fisher.
1286
1287 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1288
1289 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1290 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1291
1292 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1293
1294 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1295 up" event occurs.
1296
1297
1298version 2.45
1299 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1300 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1301 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1302 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1303
1304
1305version 2.44
1306 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1307 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1308 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1309
1310 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1311 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1312 never been reported in the wild.
1313
1314 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1315 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1316
1317 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1318 is large.
1319
1320 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1321 David Gilman.
1322
1323 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1324
1325
1326version 2.43
1327 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1328
1329 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1330 illegally.
1331
1332 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1333
1334 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1335 format.
1336
1337 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1338 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1339 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1340 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1341 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1342
1343 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1344 Rack for the bug report.
1345
1346 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1347 Bergquist.
1348
1349 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1350 option.
1351
1352 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1353 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1354
1355 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1356 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1357
1358 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1359 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1360 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1361 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1362 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1363 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1364 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1365 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1366 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1367 suggestions.
1368
1369 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1370 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1371 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1372
1373 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1374 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1375 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1376 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1377 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1378 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1379 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1380 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1381 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1382 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1383
1384 Replace the random number generator, for better
1385 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1386 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1387 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1388 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1389 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1390 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1391
1392 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1393 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1394 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1395 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1396 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1397
1398 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
