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

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

Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +000010 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
11 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
12 for spotting the problem.
13
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +000014 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
15 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
16 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
17 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
18 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
19
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000020 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
21 compiled with this enabled, with
22
23 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
24
25 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
26 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
27 statically with
28
29 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
30
31 which bloats the dnsmasq binary to over a megabyte, but
32 saves the size of the shared libraries which are five
33 times that size.
34 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
35 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
36 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
37 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
38 distribution. You should of course check that these are
39 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
40
41 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
42 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +000043
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000044 to your config is all thats needed to get things
45 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
46 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
47 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
48 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
49 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
50 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
51 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
52 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
53 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
54 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
55 records, which significantly improve the performance of
56 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
57 DNSSEC in action.
58
59 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
60 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
61 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
62 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
63 a workable state.
64
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +000065 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.

Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +000068version 2.68
69 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
70 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
71 addresses.
72
73 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
74 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
75 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
76 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
77 restarted, this bug disappeared.
78
79 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
80 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
81
82 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
83
84 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
85 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
86 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
87 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
88 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
89 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
90 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
91 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
92 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
93 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
94 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
95 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
96 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +000097
98 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
99 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
100 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
101 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000102
103 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
104 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
105
106 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
107 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000108
109 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
110 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
111 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
112 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
113 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000114
115 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
116 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
117 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
118 corresponding address on the local interface.

122 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
123 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
124 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100125
126 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
127 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
128 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
129 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
130 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
131 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
132 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
133 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100134
135 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
136 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
137 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100138
139 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
140 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100141
142 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
143 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100144
145 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
146 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
147 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
148 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
149 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
150 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
151 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
152 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100153
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100154 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
155 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
156 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
157 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
158 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100159
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100160 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
161 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
162
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100163 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
164 spurious error when all seven possible items were
165 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100166
167 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
168 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
169
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100170 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
171 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
172
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100173 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
174 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
175 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
176 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
177 report.

Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100186 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
187 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
188
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100189 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
190 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
191 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
192 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
193
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100194 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
195 via DBus too.
196
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100197 When the address which triggered the construction of an
198 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
199 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
200 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
201 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
202 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
203 arguing for this.
204
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100205 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
206 for the bug report.

Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100208 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
209 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
210 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
211 for suggesting this.
212
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100213 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
214 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
215
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100216 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
217 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
218 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
219 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
220 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
221
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100222 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
223 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100224
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100225 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
226 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
227
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100228 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
229 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
230 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.

Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100232 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
233 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
234
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100235 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
236 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
237 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
238 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
239 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100240
241 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
242 address must be either the first or last address in the
243 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
244 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100245
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100246 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100253 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
254 inspiration on this.
255
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100256 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100260 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
261 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
262
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100263 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
264 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
265 suggestion.
266
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100267 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
268 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
269 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
270 spotting the problem.
271
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100272 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000276version 2.66
277 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
278 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
279 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
280 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
281 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
282 servers to be configured.
283
284 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
285 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
286 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
287 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
288 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
289 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
290 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
291 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000292
293 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000294 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
295 patch.
296
297 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
298 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
299 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
300 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
301 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
302 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
303 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000304
305 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
306 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
307 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000308
309 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
310 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000311 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000312 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
313 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
314 bounty for this addition.
315
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000316 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6

319 chasing the problem.
320
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000321 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the

Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100330 Handle the situation where libc headers define

356 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
357 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
358 spotting the problem.
359
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100360 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
361 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
362 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
363 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
364 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
365 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
366
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100367 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

378
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000379 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100385 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
386 for the patch.
387
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100388 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
389 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
390 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
391
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100392 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
393 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
394 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
395 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
396
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100397 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
398 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
399 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
400
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100401 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
402 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
403 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
404
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000405 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
406 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
407 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000408
409 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
410 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000411
412 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
413 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
414 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000415
416 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
417 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
418 without setting source address and interface, since this
419 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
420 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100429 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
430 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
431
432 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
433 stuff is pointless without that.
434
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100435 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
436 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
437 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100438
439 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
440 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100441
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100442 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
443 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
444 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
445 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
446 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
447 superceded by other mechanisms.
448
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100449 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
450 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
451
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100452 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
453 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100457 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
458 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
459 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
460 the suggestion.
461
462 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
463 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
464 spotted the ommission.

Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100480 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid

482
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100483 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
484 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
485 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
486
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100487 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
488 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
489 for spotting this.
490
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100491 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
492 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
493 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
494
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100495 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
496
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100497 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
498 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
499 his help nailing this.
500
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000501version 2.61
502 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
503 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
504 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
505 addresses.
506
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100507 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
508 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
509 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
510 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
511 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
512 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000513
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000514 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
515
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000516 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
517 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
518 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100519 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000520 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000521
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000522 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
523 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
524 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
525
526 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
527
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000528 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
529 suggestion.
530
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000531 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
532 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
533 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
534 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
535 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
536 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
537 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
538 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
539 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
540 Gadgil.
541
542 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
543 the above.
544
545 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
546 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can

548 Forkel.
549
550 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
551 work even if there is no interface carrying the
552 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
553 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
554 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
555 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
556 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000558 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
559 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
560 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
561
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100562 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
563 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
564 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
565 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
566 for existing connections, but new connections will use
567 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
568 renumbering at least possible.
569
570 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100571 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100580 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000612 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
613 which is not the primary address of an interface.
614
615 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
616
617 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
618 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
619 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
620 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
621 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
622 implementation.
623
624 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
625 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
626 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
627 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
628 set them from the make command line.
629
630 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
631 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
632
633 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
634 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000639 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
640 containing many distinct addresses.
641
642 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
643 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
644 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
645 this.
646
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000647 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
648 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
649
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000650 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
651 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
652 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
653 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
654
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000655 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
656 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
657 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
658 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000659 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000660 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
661
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000662 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
663 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
664 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
665 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
666 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
667 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
668 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
669 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
670 These will be added as the standards mature.
671 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
672 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
673 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000674
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000675 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
676 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
677 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
678 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
679 enabling with --enable-ra.
680
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000681 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
682 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
683 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
684 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000691version 2.59
692 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
693 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
694 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
695 report.
696
697 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
698 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
699 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
700 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
701 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
702 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
703 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
704 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
705 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

709 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
710 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
711
712 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
713 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
714 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
715
716 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
717 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
718 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
719 server-deployment applications need this.
720
721 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
722 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
723 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
724 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
725 in chasing this one down.

727 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
728 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
729 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
730 the problem.
731
732 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
733 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
734 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
735 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
736 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
737 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
738
739 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
740 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
741 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
742 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
743 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
744 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
745 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
746 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
747
748 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
749 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
750
751 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
752 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
753 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
754 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
755
756 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
757 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
758
759 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
760 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
761 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
762 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
763 Agrawal for the patch.
764
765 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
766 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
767 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
768 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
769 per-network values. So
770 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
771 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
772 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
773 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
774 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
775 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
776
777 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
778 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
779 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
780 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
781 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
782 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
783 a comprehensive test-case.
784
785 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
786 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100787 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100788
789 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
790 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
791 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
792 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
793 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000800version 2.57
801 Add patches to allow build under Android.
802
803 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
804 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
805 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
806 effectively empty on Android.
807
808 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
809 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
810 wildcard.
811
812 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
813 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
814 spotting this.
815
816 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
817 IDN support continues to be included automatically
818 when i18n is included.
819 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
820
821 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
822 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
823 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
824
825
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000826version 2.56
827 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
828 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
829
830 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
831 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
832 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
833 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
834
835 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
836 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
837
838 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
839 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
840 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
841
842 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
843 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
844 syslogd.
845
846 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
847 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
848 Petrin for the orignal patch.
849
850 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
851 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
852 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
853
854 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
855 option, on the command line.
856
857 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
858 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
859
860 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
861 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
862 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
863 to John Hallam for the patch.
864
865 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
866 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
867 character chunks instead.
868
869 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
870 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
871 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
872 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
873
874 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
875 transfer has completed succesfully.
876
877 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
878 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
879 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
880 which automatically creates
881 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
882 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
883
884 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
885 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
886
887 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
888 thanks for that.
889
890 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
891 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
892 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
893 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
894 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
895 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
896 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
897 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
898 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
899
900 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
901 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
902 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
903 set.
904
905 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
906 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
907
908 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
909 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
910 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
911
912 Edit
913 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
914 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
915 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
916
917 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
918 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
919 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
920 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
921 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
922 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
923 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
924 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
925 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
926 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
927 So:
928 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
929 --server=/google.com/#
930 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
931 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
932 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
933 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
934 William for pointing out the need for this.
935
936 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
937 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
938 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
939
940 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
941 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
942 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
943 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
944
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000945 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100966version 2.53
967 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
968 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
969
970 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
971 generated by gcc 4.4.
972
973 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
974 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
975
976 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
977 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
978 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
979
980 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
981 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
982 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
983 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
984 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
985 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
986 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
987 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
988 the documentation and new-style config files should be
989 much less confusing.
990
991 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
992 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
993 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
994
995 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
996
997 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
998
999 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1000 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1001 finding this.
1002
1003 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1004 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1005 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1006 from the client.
1007
1008 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1009 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1010 finding this.
1011
1012 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1013 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1014 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1015 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1016 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1017 server-override option.
1018
1019 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1020 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1021 allows a single line of the form
1022 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1023 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1024 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1025 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1026 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1027 interface=<interface>
1028 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1029 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1030 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1031 configuration.
1032
1033 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1034
1035 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1036 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1037
1038 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1039 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1040 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1041 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1042
1043 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1044 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1045 file, not the process/descriptor.
1046
1047 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1048 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1049
1050 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1051 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1052 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1053 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1054 this and testing the fix.
1055
1056 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1057 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1058 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1059
1060 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1061 upstream servers: this allows something like
1062 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1063 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1064 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1065 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1066
1067 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1068 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1069 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1070 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1071 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1072 work on this.
1073
1074 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1075 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1076 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1077 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1078 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1079 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1080 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1081
1082 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1083
1084 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1085 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1086 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1087 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1088 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1089 here.
1090
1091 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1092
1093 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1094 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1095
1096 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1097 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1098 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1099 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1100 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1101
1102 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1103 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1104
1105 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1106 is set.
1107
1108 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1109 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.

1120 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1121 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1122

1125
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001126version 2.52
1127 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1128 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1129 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1130 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1131 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1132 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1133 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1134 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1135
1136 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1137 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1138 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1139 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1140
1141 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1142 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1143 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1144 when dnsmasq is first started.
1145
1146 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1147 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1148 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1149 with certain clients.
1150
1151 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1152 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1153 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1154
1155 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1156 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1157 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1158 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1159 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1160 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1161 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1162 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1163 numbers delimited by dots.
1164
1165 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1166 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1167
1168 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1169 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1170
1171 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1172 contrib/Solaris10.
1173
1174 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1175 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1176 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1177 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1178 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1179 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1180 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1181
1182 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1183 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1184 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1185 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1186
1187 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1188 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1189 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1190
1191 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1192 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1193 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1194
1195 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1196 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1197 looks like this:
1198 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1199
1200 Add some application specific code to assist in
1201 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1202 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1203
1204 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1205 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1206 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1207 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1208
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001209 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001210 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1211
1212 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1213 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1214 this.
1215
1216 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1217 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1218 providing this.
1219
1220 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1221 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001229 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1230 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1231 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1232 finding and analysing the problem.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001235version 2.51
1236 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1237 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1238 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1239 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1240 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1241 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1242 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1243 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1244 suggestion.
1245
1246 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1247 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1248 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1249 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1250 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1251 a DHCP relay, if used.
1252 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1253
1254 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1255 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1256
1257 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1258 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1259 dhcp-option-force.
1260
1261 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1262 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1263 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1264
1265 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1266 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1267 the patch.
1268
1269 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1270
1271 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1272 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1273
1274 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1275 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1276 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1277 suggestion.
1278
1279 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1280 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1281 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1282 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1283 dhcp-optsfile.
1284
1285 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1286 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1287 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1288 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1289 suggestion.
1290
1291 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1292 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1293 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1294 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1295 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1296
1297 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1298 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1299 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1300 fragmented packets.
1301
1302 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1303 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1304
1305 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001309 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001310 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1311 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1312 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1313 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1314 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1315 and CVE: 2009-2957
1316
1317 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1318 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1319 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1320 CVE: 2009-2958

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001323version 2.49
1324 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1325 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1326
1327 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1328 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1329 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1330 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1331
1332 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001335version 2.48
1336 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1337 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1338 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001339
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001340 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1341 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1342 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001343
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001344 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1345 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1346 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001347
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001348 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1349 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1350 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1351 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001352
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001353 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1354 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001355
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001356 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1357 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1358 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1359 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001360
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001361 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1362 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1363 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001364
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001365 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1366 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1367 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001368
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001369 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001370
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001371 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1372 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1373 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1374 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1375 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1376 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1377 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1378 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1379 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001380
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001381 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1382 useful suggestions.
1383
1384 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1385 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1386 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1387
1388 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1389 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001390
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001391 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001393
1394version 2.47
1395 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1396
1397 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1398 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1399
1400 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1401 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1402 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1403
1404 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1405 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1406 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1407 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1408 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1409 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1410 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1411 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1412 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1413 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1414 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1415 Krafft for the bug report.
1416
1417 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1418
1419 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1420 Fix for this bug:
1421 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1422
1423 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1424 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1425 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1426 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1427
1428 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1429 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1430
1431 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1432
1433 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1434 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1435 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1436 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1437 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1438
1439 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1440 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1441
1442 No longer complain about blank lines in
1443 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1444
1445 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1446 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1447 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1448 for the bug report.
1449
1450 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1451 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1452 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1453 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1454
1455 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1456 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1457 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1458 as before.
1459 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1460 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1461 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1462
1463 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1464 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1465 Windows even when using supernetting.
1466 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1467 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1468 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1469 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1470
1471 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1472
1473 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1474 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1475 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1476 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1477 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1478 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1479 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001480
1481
1482version 2.46
1483 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1484 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1485 suggestion.
1486
1487 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1488 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1489 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1490 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1491 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1492
1493 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1494 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1495 based in their IP address.
1496
1497 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1498 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1499 a domain associated with each client, and only
1500 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1501 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1502 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1503 long as they are in different domains.
1504
1505 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1506 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1507 have now that it's variable.
1508
1509 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1510 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1511 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1512 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1513 potential.
1514
1515 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1516 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1517 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1518
1519 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1520 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1521
1522 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1523 which the DHCP request was received.
1524
1525 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1526 Laine for the patch.
1527
1528 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1529 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1530
1531 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1532 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1533 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1534 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1535 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1536 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1537 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1538 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1539 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1540 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1541 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1542
1543 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1544 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1545 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1546 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1547 improvement.
1548
1549 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1550 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1551 suggestions on this.
1552
1553 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1554 Fisher.
1555
1556 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1557
1558 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1559 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1560
1561 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1562
1563 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1564 up" event occurs.
1565
1566
1567version 2.45
1568 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1569 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1570 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1571 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1572
1573
1574version 2.44
1575 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1576 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1577 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1578
1579 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1580 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1581 never been reported in the wild.
1582
1583 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1584 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1585
1586 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1587 is large.
1588
1589 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1590 David Gilman.
1591
1592 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1593
1594
1595version 2.43
1596 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1597
1598 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1599 illegally.
1600
1601 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1602
1603 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1604 format.
1605
1606 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1607 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1608 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1609 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1610 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1611
1612 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1613 Rack for the bug report.
1614
1615 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1616 Bergquist.
1617
1618 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1619 option.
1620
1621 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1622 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1623
1624 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1625 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1626
1627 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1628 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1629 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1630 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1631 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1632 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1633 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1634 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1635 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1636 suggestions.
1637
1638 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1639 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1640 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1641
1642 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1643 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1644 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1645 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1646 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1647 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1648 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1649 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1650 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1651 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1652
1653 Replace the random number generator, for better
1654 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1655 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1656 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1657 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1658 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1659 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1660
1661 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1662 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1663 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1664 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1665 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1666
1667 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
