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 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 Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +000066
67 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
68 full access to configuration.

Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +000071version 2.68
72 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
73 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
74 addresses.
75
76 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
77 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
78 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
79 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
80 restarted, this bug disappeared.
81
82 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
83 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
84
85 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
86
87 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
88 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
89 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
90 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
91 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
92 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
93 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
94 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
95 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
96 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
97 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
98 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
99 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000100
101 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
102 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
103 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
104 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000105
106 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
107 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
108
109 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
110 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000111
112 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
113 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
114 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
115 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
116 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000117
118 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
119 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
120 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
121 corresponding address on the local interface.

125 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
126 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
127 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100128
129 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
130 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
131 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
132 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
133 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
134 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
135 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
136 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100137
138 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
139 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
140 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100141
142 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
143 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100144
145 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
146 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100147
148 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
149 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
150 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
151 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
152 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
153 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
154 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
155 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100156
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100157 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
158 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
159 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
160 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
161 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100162
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100163 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
164 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
165
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100166 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
167 spurious error when all seven possible items were
168 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100169
170 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
171 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.

Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100173 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
174 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
175
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100176 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
177 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
178 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
179 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
180 report.

Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100182 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
183 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
184 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.

Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100189 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
190 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
191
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100192 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
193 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
194 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
195 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
196
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100197 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
198 via DBus too.
199
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100200 When the address which triggered the construction of an
201 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
202 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
203 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
204 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
205 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
206 arguing for this.
207
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100208 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
209 for the bug report.

Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100211 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
212 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
213 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
214 for suggesting this.
215
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100216 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
217 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
218
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100219 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
220 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
221 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
222 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
223 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
224
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100225 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
226 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100227
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100228 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
229 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
230
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100231 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
232 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
233 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.

Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100235 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
236 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
237
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100238 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
239 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
240 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
241 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
242 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100243
244 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
245 address must be either the first or last address in the
246 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
247 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100248
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100249 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100256 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
257 inspiration on this.

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100263 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
264 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
265
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100266 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
267 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
268 suggestion.
269
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100270 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
271 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
272 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
273 spotting the problem.
274
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100275 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
276 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000279version 2.66
280 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
281 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
282 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
283 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
284 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
285 servers to be configured.
286
287 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
288 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
289 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
290 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
291 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
292 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
293 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
294 this idea.

298 patch.
299
300 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
301 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
302 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
303 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
304 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
305 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
306 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000307
308 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
309 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
310 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000311
312 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
313 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000314 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000315 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
316 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
317 bounty for this addition.
318
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000319 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6

322 chasing the problem.
323
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000324 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the

361 spotting the problem.
362
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100363 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
364 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
365 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
366 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
367 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
368 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.

390
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100391 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
392 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
393 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
394
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100395 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
396 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
397 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
398 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
399
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100400 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
401 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
402 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
403
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100404 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6

406 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
407
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000408 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM

419 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
420 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
421 without setting source address and interface, since this
422 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
423 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

433 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
434
435 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
436 stuff is pointless without that.
437
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100438 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
439 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
440 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100441
442 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
443 to Metin Kaya for the patches.

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100445 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
446 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
447 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
448 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
449 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
450 superceded by other mechanisms.
451
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100452 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
453 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100460 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
461 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
462 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
463 the suggestion.
464
465 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
466 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
467 spotted the ommission.

489
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100490 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
491 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
492 for spotting this.
493
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100494 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
495 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
496 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
497
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100498 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.

Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100500 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
501 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
502 his help nailing this.
503
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000504version 2.61
505 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
506 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
507 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
508 addresses.
509
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100510 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
511 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
512 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
513 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
514 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
515 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000516
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000517 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
518
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000519 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
520 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
521 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100522 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000523 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000524
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000525 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
526 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
527 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
528
529 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
530
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000531 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
532 suggestion.
533
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000534 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
535 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
536 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
537 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
538 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
539 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
540 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
541 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
542 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
543 Gadgil.
544
545 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
546 the above.
547
548 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
549 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can

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

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000561 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
562 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
563 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
564
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100565 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
566 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
567 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
568 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
569 for existing connections, but new connections will use
570 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
571 renumbering at least possible.
572
573 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100574 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000615 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
616 which is not the primary address of an interface.
617
618 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
619
620 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
621 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
622 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
623 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
624 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
625 implementation.
626
627 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
628 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
629 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
630 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
631 set them from the make command line.
632
633 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
634 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
635
636 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
637 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

643 containing many distinct addresses.
644
645 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
646 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
647 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
648 this.
649
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000650 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
651 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
652
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000653 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
654 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
655 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
656 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
657
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000658 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
659 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
660 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
661 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000662 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000663 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
664
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000665 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
666 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
667 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
668 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
669 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
670 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
671 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
672 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
673 These will be added as the standards mature.
674 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
675 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
676 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000677
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000678 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
679 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
680 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
681 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
682 enabling with --enable-ra.
683
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000684 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
685 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
686 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
687 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

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

713 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
714
715 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
716 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
717 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
718
719 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
720 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
721 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
722 server-deployment applications need this.

724 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
725 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
726 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
727 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
728 in chasing this one down.
729
730 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
731 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
732 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
733 the problem.
734
735 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
736 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
737 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
738 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
739 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
740 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
741
742 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
743 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
744 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
745 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
746 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
747 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
748 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
749 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
750
751 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
752 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
753
754 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
755 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
756 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
757 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
758
759 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
760 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
761
762 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
763 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
764 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
765 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
766 Agrawal for the patch.
767
768 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
769 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
770 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
771 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
772 per-network values. So
773 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
774 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
775 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
776 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
777 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
778 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
779
780 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
781 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
782 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
783 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
784 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
785 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
786 a comprehensive test-case.
787
788 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
789 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100790 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100791
792 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
793 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
794 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
795 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
796 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
797
798 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
799
800 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

802
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000803version 2.57
804 Add patches to allow build under Android.
805
806 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
807 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
808 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
809 effectively empty on Android.
810
811 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
812 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
813 wildcard.
814
815 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
816 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
817 spotting this.
818
819 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
820 IDN support continues to be included automatically
821 when i18n is included.
822 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
823
824 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
825 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
826 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
827
828
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000829version 2.56
830 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
831 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
832
833 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
834 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
835 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
836 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
837
838 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
839 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
840
841 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
842 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
843 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
844
845 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
846 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
847 syslogd.
848
849 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
850 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
851 Petrin for the orignal patch.
852
853 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
854 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
855 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
856
857 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
858 option, on the command line.
859
860 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
861 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
862
863 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
864 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
865 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
866 to John Hallam for the patch.
867
868 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
869 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
870 character chunks instead.
871
872 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
873 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
874 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
875 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
876
877 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
878 transfer has completed succesfully.
879
880 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
881 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
882 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
883 which automatically creates
884 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
885 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
886
887 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
888 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
889
890 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
891 thanks for that.
892
893 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
894 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
895 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
896 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
897 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
898 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
899 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
900 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
901 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
902
903 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
904 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
905 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
906 set.
907
908 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
909 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
910
911 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
912 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
913 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
914
915 Edit
916 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
917 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
918 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
919
920 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
921 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
922 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
923 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
924 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
925 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
926 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
927 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
928 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
929 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
930 So:
931 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
932 --server=/google.com/#
933 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
934 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
935 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
936 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
937 William for pointing out the need for this.
938
939 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
940 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
941 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
942
943 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
944 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
945 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
946 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
947
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000948 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100969version 2.53
970 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
971 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
972
973 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
974 generated by gcc 4.4.
975
976 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
977 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
978
979 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
980 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
981 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
982
983 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
984 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
985 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
986 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
987 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
988 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
989 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
990 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
991 the documentation and new-style config files should be
992 much less confusing.
993
994 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
995 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
996 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
997
998 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
999
1000 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1001
1002 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1003 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1004 finding this.
1005
1006 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1007 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1008 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1009 from the client.
1010
1011 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1012 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1013 finding this.
1014
1015 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1016 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1017 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1018 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1019 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1020 server-override option.
1021
1022 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1023 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1024 allows a single line of the form
1025 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1026 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1027 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1028 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1029 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1030 interface=<interface>
1031 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1032 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1033 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1034 configuration.
1035
1036 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1037
1038 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1039 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1040
1041 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1042 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1043 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1044 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1045
1046 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1047 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1048 file, not the process/descriptor.
1049
1050 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1051 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1052
1053 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1054 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1055 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1056 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1057 this and testing the fix.
1058
1059 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1060 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1061 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1062
1063 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1064 upstream servers: this allows something like
1065 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1066 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1067 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1068 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1069
1070 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1071 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1072 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1073 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1074 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1075 work on this.
1076
1077 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1078 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1079 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1080 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1081 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1082 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1083 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1084
1085 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1086
1087 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1088 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1089 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1090 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1091 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1092 here.
1093
1094 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1095
1096 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1097 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1098
1099 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1100 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1101 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1102 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1103 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1104
1105 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1106 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1107
1108 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1109 is set.
1110
1111 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1112 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1113
1114 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1115

1117
1118 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1119
1120 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1121
1122 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1123 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1124 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1125
1126 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1127
1128
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001129version 2.52
1130 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1131 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1132 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1133 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1134 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1135 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1136 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1137 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1138
1139 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1140 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1141 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1142 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1143
1144 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1145 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1146 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1147 when dnsmasq is first started.
1148
1149 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1150 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1151 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1152 with certain clients.
1153
1154 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1155 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1156 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1157
1158 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1159 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1160 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1161 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1162 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1163 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1164 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1165 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1166 numbers delimited by dots.
1167
1168 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1169 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1170
1171 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1172 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1173
1174 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1175 contrib/Solaris10.
1176
1177 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1178 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1179 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1180 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1181 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1182 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1183 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1184
1185 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1186 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1187 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1188 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1189
1190 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1191 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1192 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1193
1194 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1195 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1196 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1197
1198 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1199 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1200 looks like this:
1201 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1202
1203 Add some application specific code to assist in
1204 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1205 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1206
1207 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1208 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1209 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1210 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1211
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001212 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001213 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1214
1215 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1216 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1217 this.

1219 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1220 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1221 providing this.
1222
1223 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1224 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1225
1226 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001232 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1233 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1234 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1235 finding and analysing the problem.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001238version 2.51
1239 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1240 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1241 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1242 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1243 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1244 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1245 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1246 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1247 suggestion.
1248
1249 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1250 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1251 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1252 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1253 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1254 a DHCP relay, if used.
1255 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1256
1257 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1258 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1259
1260 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1261 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1262 dhcp-option-force.
1263
1264 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1265 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1266 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1267
1268 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1269 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1270 the patch.
1271
1272 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1273
1274 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1275 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1276
1277 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1278 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1279 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1280 suggestion.
1281
1282 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1283 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1284 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1285 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1286 dhcp-optsfile.
1287
1288 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1289 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1290 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1291 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1292 suggestion.
1293
1294 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1295 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1296 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1297 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1298 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1299
1300 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1301 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1302 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1303 fragmented packets.
1304
1305 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1306 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1307
1308 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001312 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001313 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1314 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1315 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1316 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1317 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1318 and CVE: 2009-2957
1319
1320 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1321 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1322 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1323 CVE: 2009-2958
1324
1325
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001326version 2.49
1327 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1328 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1329
1330 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1331 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1332 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1333 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1334
1335 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001338version 2.48
1339 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1340 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1341 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001342
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001343 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1344 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1345 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001346
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001347 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1348 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1349 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001350
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001351 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1352 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1353 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1354 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001355
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001356 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1357 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001358
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001359 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1360 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1361 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1362 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001363
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001364 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1365 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1366 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001367
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001368 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1369 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1370 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001371
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001372 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001373
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001374 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1375 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1376 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1377 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1378 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1379 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1380 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1381 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1382 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001383
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001384 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1385 useful suggestions.
1386
1387 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1388 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1389 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1390
1391 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1392 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001393
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001394 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001396
1397version 2.47
1398 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1399
1400 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1401 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1402
1403 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1404 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1405 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1406
1407 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1408 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1409 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1410 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1411 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1412 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1413 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1414 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1415 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1416 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1417 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1418 Krafft for the bug report.
1419
1420 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1421
1422 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1423 Fix for this bug:
1424 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1425
1426 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1427 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1428 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1429 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1430
1431 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1432 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1433
1434 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1435
1436 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1437 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1438 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1439 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1440 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1441
1442 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1443 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1444
1445 No longer complain about blank lines in
1446 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1447
1448 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1449 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1450 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1451 for the bug report.
1452
1453 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1454 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1455 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1456 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1457
1458 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1459 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1460 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1461 as before.
1462 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1463 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1464 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1465
1466 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1467 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1468 Windows even when using supernetting.
1469 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1470 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1471 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1472 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1473
1474 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1475
1476 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1477 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1478 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1479 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1480 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1481 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1482 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001483
1484
1485version 2.46
1486 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1487 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1488 suggestion.
1489
1490 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1491 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1492 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1493 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1494 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1495
1496 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1497 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1498 based in their IP address.
1499
1500 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1501 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1502 a domain associated with each client, and only
1503 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1504 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1505 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1506 long as they are in different domains.
1507
1508 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1509 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1510 have now that it's variable.
1511
1512 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1513 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1514 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1515 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1516 potential.
1517
1518 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1519 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1520 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1521
1522 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1523 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1524
1525 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1526 which the DHCP request was received.
1527
1528 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1529 Laine for the patch.
1530
1531 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1532 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1533
1534 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1535 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1536 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1537 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1538 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1539 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1540 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1541 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1542 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1543 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1544 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1545
1546 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1547 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1548 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1549 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1550 improvement.
1551
1552 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1553 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1554 suggestions on this.
1555
1556 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1557 Fisher.
1558
1559 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1560
1561 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1562 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1563
1564 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1565
1566 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1567 up" event occurs.
1568
1569
1570version 2.45
1571 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1572 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1573 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1574 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1575
1576
1577version 2.44
1578 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1579 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1580 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1581
1582 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1583 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1584 never been reported in the wild.
1585
1586 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1587 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1588
1589 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1590 is large.
1591
1592 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1593 David Gilman.
1594
1595 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.

1598version 2.43
1599 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1600
1601 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1602 illegally.
1603
1604 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1605
1606 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1607 format.
1608
1609 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1610 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1611 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1612 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1613 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1614
1615 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1616 Rack for the bug report.
1617
1618 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1619 Bergquist.
1620
1621 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1622 option.
1623
1624 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1625 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1626
1627 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1628 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1629
1630 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1631 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1632 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1633 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1634 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1635 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1636 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1637 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1638 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1639 suggestions.
1640
1641 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1642 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1643 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1644
1645 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1646 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1647 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1648 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1649 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1650 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1651 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1652 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1653 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1654 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1655
1656 Replace the random number generator, for better
1657 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1658 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1659 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1660 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1661 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1662 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1663
1664 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1665 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1666 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1667 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
