Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +00001version 2.61
2 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
3 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
4 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
5 addresses.
6
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +00007 Add ra-names DHCPv6 keyword which adds AAAA records
8 for dual-stack hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC.
9
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +000010 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
11
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000012 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
13 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
14 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
15 this wrong. Thanks to Conrda Kostecki for help tracking
16 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +000017
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000018 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
19 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
20 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
21
22 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
23
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +000024 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
25 suggestion.
26
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +000027 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
28 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
29 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
30 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
31 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
32 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
33 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
34 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
35 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
36 Gadgil.
37
38 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
39 the above.
40
41 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
42 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +000043 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
44 Forkel.
45
46 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
47 work even if there is no interface carrying the
48 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
49 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
50 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
51 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
52 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +000053
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +000054 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
55 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
56 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
57
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000058
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +000059version 2.60
60 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
61 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +010062
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +000063 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
64 which is not the primary address of an interface.
65
66 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
67
68 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
69 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
70 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
71 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
72 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
73 implementation.
74
75 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
76 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
77 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
78 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
79 set them from the make command line.
80
81 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
82 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
83
84 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
85 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
86
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +000087 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
88 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +000089
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +000090 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
91 containing many distinct addresses.
92
93 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
94 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
95 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
96 this.
97
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +000098 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
99 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
100
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000101 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
102 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
103 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
104 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
105
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000106 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
107 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
108 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
109 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000110 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000111 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
112
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000113 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
114 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
115 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
116 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
117 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
118 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
119 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
120 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
121 These will be added as the standards mature.
122 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
123 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
124 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000125
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000126 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
127 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
128 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
129 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
130 enabling with --enable-ra.
131
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000132 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
133 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
134 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
135 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000136
137 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000138
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000139 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
140
141
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000142version 2.59
143 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
144 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
145 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
146 report.
147
148 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
149 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
150 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
151 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
152 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
153 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
154 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
155 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
156 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100157
158
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100159version 2.58
160 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
161 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
162
163 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
164 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
165 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
166
167 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
168 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
169 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
170 server-deployment applications need this.
171
172 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
173 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
174 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
175 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
176 in chasing this one down.
177
178 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
179 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
180 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
181 the problem.
182
183 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
184 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
185 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
186 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
187 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
188 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
189
190 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
191 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
192 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
193 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
194 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
195 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
196 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
197 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
198
199 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
200 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
201
202 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
203 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
204 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
205 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
206
207 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
208 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
209
210 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
211 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
212 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
213 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
214 Agrawal for the patch.
215
216 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
217 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
218 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
219 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
220 per-network values. So
221 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
222 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
223 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
224 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
225 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
226 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
227
228 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
229 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
230 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
231 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
232 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
233 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
234 a comprehensive test-case.
235
236 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
237 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
238 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
239
240 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
241 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
242 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
243 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
244 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
245
246 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
247
248 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
249
250
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000251version 2.57
252 Add patches to allow build under Android.
253
254 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
255 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
256 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
257 effectively empty on Android.
258
259 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
260 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
261 wildcard.
262
263 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
264 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
265 spotting this.
266
267 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
268 IDN support continues to be included automatically
269 when i18n is included.
270 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
271
272 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
273 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
274 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
275
276
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000277version 2.56
278 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
279 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
280
281 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
282 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
283 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
284 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
285
286 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
287 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
288
289 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
290 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
291 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
292
293 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
294 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
295 syslogd.
296
297 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
298 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
299 Petrin for the orignal patch.
300
301 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
302 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
303 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
304
305 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
306 option, on the command line.
307
308 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
309 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
310
311 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
312 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
313 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
314 to John Hallam for the patch.
315
316 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
317 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
318 character chunks instead.
319
320 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
321 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
322 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
323 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
324
325 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
326 transfer has completed succesfully.
327
328 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
329 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
330 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
331 which automatically creates
332 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
333 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
334
335 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
336 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
337
338 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
339 thanks for that.
340
341 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
342 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
343 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
344 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
345 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
346 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
347 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
348 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
349 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
350
351 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
352 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
353 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
354 set.
355
356 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
357 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
358
359 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
360 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
361 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
362
363 Edit
364 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
365 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
366 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
367
368 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
369 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
370 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
371 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
372 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
373 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
374 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
375 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
376 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
377 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
378 So:
379 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
380 --server=/google.com/#
381 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
382 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
383 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
384 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
385 William for pointing out the need for this.
386
387 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
388 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
389 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
390
391 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
392 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
393 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
394 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
395
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000396 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100417version 2.53
418 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
419 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
420
421 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
422 generated by gcc 4.4.
423
424 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
425 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
426
427 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
428 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
429 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
430
431 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
432 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
433 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
434 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
435 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
436 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
437 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
438 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
439 the documentation and new-style config files should be
440 much less confusing.
441
442 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
443 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
444 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
445
446 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
447
448 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
449
450 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
451 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
452 finding this.
453
454 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
455 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
456 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
457 from the client.
458
459 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
460 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
461 finding this.
462
463 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
464 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
465 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
466 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
467 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
468 server-override option.
469
470 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
471 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
472 allows a single line of the form
473 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
474 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
475 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
476 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
477 irrespective of the existance or lack of
478 interface=<interface>
479 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
480 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
481 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
482 configuration.
483
484 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
485
486 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
487 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
488
489 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
490 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
491 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
492 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
493
494 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
495 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
496 file, not the process/descriptor.
497
498 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
499 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
500
501 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
502 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
503 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
504 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
505 this and testing the fix.
506
507 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
508 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
509 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
510
511 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
512 upstream servers: this allows something like
513 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
514 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
515 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
516 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
517
518 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
519 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
520 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
521 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
522 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
523 work on this.
524
525 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
526 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
527 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
528 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
529 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
530 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
531 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
532
533 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
534
535 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
536 than one server available for a domain, eg.
537 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
538 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
539 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
540 here.
541
542 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
543
544 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
545 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
546
547 Fix regression which caused configuration like
548 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
549 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
550 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
551 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
552
553 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
554 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
555
556 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
557 is set.
558
559 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
560 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
561
562 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
563
564 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
565
566 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
567
568 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
569
570 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
571 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
572 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
573
574 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
575
576
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000577version 2.52
578 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
579 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
580 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
581 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
582 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
583 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
584 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
585 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
586
587 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
588 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
589 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
590 necessary for some *WRT distros.
591
592 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
593 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
594 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
595 when dnsmasq is first started.
596
597 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
598 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
599 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
600 with certain clients.
601
602 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
603 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
604 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
605
606 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
607 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
608 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
609 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
610 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
611 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
612 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
613 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
614 numbers delimited by dots.
615
616 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
617 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
618
619 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
620 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
621
622 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
623 contrib/Solaris10.
624
625 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
626 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
627 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
628 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
629 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
630 addresses available in such an installation removes a
631 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
632
633 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
634 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
635 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
636 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
637
638 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
639 the lease-change script in the environment variable
640 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
641
642 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
643 Options". The syntax looks like this:
644 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
645
646 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
647 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
648 looks like this:
649 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
650
651 Add some application specific code to assist in
652 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
653 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
654
655 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
656 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
657 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
658 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
659
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100660 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000661 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
662
663 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
664 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
665 this.
666
667 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
668 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
669 providing this.
670
671 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
672 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
673
674 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
675
676 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
677
678 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
679
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100680 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
681 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
682 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
683 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000684
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100685
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100686version 2.51
687 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
688 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
689 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
690 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
691 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
692 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
693 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
694 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
695 suggestion.
696
697 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
698 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
699 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
700 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
701 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
702 a DHCP relay, if used.
703 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
704
705 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
706 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
707
708 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
709 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
710 dhcp-option-force.
711
712 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
713 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
714 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
715
716 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
717 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
718 the patch.
719
720 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
721
722 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
723 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
724
725 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
726 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
727 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
728 suggestion.
729
730 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
731 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
732 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
733 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
734 dhcp-optsfile.
735
736 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
737 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
738 is retried. This should improve performance when there
739 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
740 suggestion.
741
742 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
743 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
744 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
745 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
746 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
747
748 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
749 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
750 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
751 fragmented packets.
752
753 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
754 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
755
756 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100760 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +0100761 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
762 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
763 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
764 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
765 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
766 and CVE: 2009-2957
767
768 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
769 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
770 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
771 CVE: 2009-2958

773
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +0100774version 2.49
775 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
776 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
777
778 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
779 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
780 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
781 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
782
783 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
784
785
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100786version 2.48
787 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
788 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
789 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000790
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100791 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
792 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
793 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000794
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100795 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
796 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
797 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000798
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100799 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
800 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
801 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
802 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000803
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100804 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
805 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000806
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100807 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
808 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
809 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
810 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000811
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100812 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
813 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
814 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000815
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100816 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
817 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
818 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000819
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100820 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000821
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100822 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
823 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
824 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
825 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
826 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
827 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
828 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
829 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
830 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000831
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100832 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
833 useful suggestions.
834
835 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
836 this, edit src/config.h or build with
837 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
838
839 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
840 configuration files only.

845version 2.47
846 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
847
848 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
849 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
850
851 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
852 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
853 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
854
855 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
856 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
857 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
858 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
859 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
860 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
861 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
862 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
863 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
864 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
865 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
866 Krafft for the bug report.
867
868 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
869
870 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
871 Fix for this bug:
872 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
873
874 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
875 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
876 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
877 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
878
879 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
880 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
881
882 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
883
884 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
885 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
886 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
887 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
888 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
889
890 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
891 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
892
893 No longer complain about blank lines in
894 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
895
896 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
897 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
898 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
899 for the bug report.
900
901 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
902 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
903 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
904 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
905
906 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
907 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
908 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
909 as before.
910 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
911 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
912 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
913
914 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
915 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
916 Windows even when using supernetting.
917 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
918 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
919 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
920 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
921
922 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
923
924 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
925 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
926 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
927 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
928 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
929 directory owned and write-able by the user running
930 dnsmasq.

933version 2.46
934 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
935 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
936 suggestion.
937
938 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
939 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
940 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
941 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
942 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
943
944 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
945 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
946 based in their IP address.
947
948 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
949 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
950 a domain associated with each client, and only
951 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
952 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
953 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
954 long as they are in different domains.
955
956 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
957 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
958 have now that it's variable.
959
960 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
961 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
962 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
963 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
964 potential.
965
966 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
967 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
968 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
969
970 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
971 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
972
973 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
974 which the DHCP request was received.
975
976 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
977 Laine for the patch.
978
979 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
980 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
981
982 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
983 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
984 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
985 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
986 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
987 address to a host which has two network interfaces
988 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
989 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
990 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
991 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
992 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
993
994 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
995 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
996 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
997 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
998 improvement.
999
1000 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1001 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1002 suggestions on this.
1003
1004 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1005 Fisher.
1006
1007 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1008
1009 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1010 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1011
1012 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1013
1014 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1015 up" event occurs.
1016
1017
1018version 2.45
1019 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1020 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1021 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1022 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1023
1024
1025version 2.44
1026 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1027 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1028 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1029
1030 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1031 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1032 never been reported in the wild.
1033
1034 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1035 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1036
1037 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1038 is large.
1039
1040 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1041 David Gilman.
1042
1043 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1044
1045
1046version 2.43
1047 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1048
1049 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1050 illegally.
1051
1052 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1053
1054 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1055 format.
1056
1057 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1058 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1059 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1060 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1061 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1062
1063 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1064 Rack for the bug report.
1065
1066 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1067 Bergquist.
1068
1069 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1070 option.
1071
1072 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1073 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1074
1075 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1076 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1077
1078 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1079 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1080 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1081 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1082 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1083 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1084 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1085 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1086 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1087 suggestions.
1088
1089 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1090 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1091 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1092
1093 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1094 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1095 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1096 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1097 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1098 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1099 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1100 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1101 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1102 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1103
1104 Replace the random number generator, for better
1105 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1106 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1107 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1108 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1109 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1110 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1111
1112 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1113 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1114 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1115 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1116 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1117
1118 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
