Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +01001version 2.67
2 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
3 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
4 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +01005
6 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
7 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
8 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
9 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
10 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
11 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
12 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
13 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +010014
15 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
16 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
17 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +010018
19 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
20 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +010021
22 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
23 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +010024
25 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
26 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
27 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
28 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
29 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
30 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
31 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
32 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010033
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +010034 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
35 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
36 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
37 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
38 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010039
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +010040 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
41 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
42
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +010043 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
44 spurious error when all seven possible items were
45 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +010046
47 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
48 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
49
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +010050 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
51 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
52
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +010053 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
54 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
55 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
56 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
57 report.
58
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +010059 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
60 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
61 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
62
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +010063 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero
Simon Kelley3953dcc2013-07-03 20:40:45 +010064 terminator. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the bug report.
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +010065
Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +010066 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
67 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
68
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +010069 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
70 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
71 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
72 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
73
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +010074 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
75 via DBus too.
76
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +010077 When the address which triggered the construction of an
78 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
79 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
80 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
81 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
82 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
83 arguing for this.
84
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +010085 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
86 for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +010087
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +000088version 2.66
89 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
90 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
91 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
92 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
93 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
94 servers to be configured.
95
96 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
97 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
98 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
99 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
100 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
101 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
102 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
103 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000104
105 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000106 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
107 patch.
108
109 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
110 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
111 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
112 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
113 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
114 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
115 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000116
117 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
118 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
119 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000120
121 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
122 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000123 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000124 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
125 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
126 bounty for this addition.
127
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000128 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
129 information-requests with some common configurations.
130 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
131 chasing the problem.
132
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000133 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
134 patch.
135
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000136 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000137 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000138
139 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
140 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000141
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100142 Handle the situation where libc headers define
143 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
144 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
145 Felker for the bug report.
146
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100147 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100148
149 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
150 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
151 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100152
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100153 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
154
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000155
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000156version 2.65
157 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
158 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
159 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
160
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000161 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
162 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000163
164 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000165
166
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100167version 2.64
168 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
169 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
170 spotting the problem.
171
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100172 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
173 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
174 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
175 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
176 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
177 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
178
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100179 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
180 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
181
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100182 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
183 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
184
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100185 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
186 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
187
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000188 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100189 Williams for the patch.
190
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000191 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
192 Roy Marples for the patch.
193
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100194 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
195 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100196
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100197 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
198 for the patch.
199
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100200 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
201 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
202 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
203
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100204 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
205 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
206 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
207 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
208
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100209 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
210 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
211 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
212
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100213 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
214 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
215 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
216
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000217 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
218 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
219 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000220
221 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
222 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000223
224 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
225 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
226 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000227
228 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
229 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
230 without setting source address and interface, since this
231 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
232 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
233
234 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
235 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100236
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000237
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100238version 2.63
239 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
240
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100241 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
242 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
243
244 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
245 stuff is pointless without that.
246
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100247 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
248 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
249 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100250
251 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
252 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100253
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100254 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
255 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
256 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
257 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
258 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
259 superceded by other mechanisms.
260
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100261 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
262 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
263
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100264 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
265 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
266
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100267 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100268
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100269 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
270 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
271 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
272 the suggestion.
273
274 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
275 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
276 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100277
278 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100279
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100280 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
281 which overrides the default,
282 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
283 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
284
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100285 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
286 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
287
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100288
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100289version 2.62
290 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
291
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100292 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
293 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
294
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100295 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
296 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
297 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
298
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100299 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
300 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
301 for spotting this.
302
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100303 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
304 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
305 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
306
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100307 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
308
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100309 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
310 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
311 his help nailing this.
312
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000313version 2.61
314 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
315 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
316 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
317 addresses.
318
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100319 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
320 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
321 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
322 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
323 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
324 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000325
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000326 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
327
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000328 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
329 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
330 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100331 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000332 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000333
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000334 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
335 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
336 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
337
338 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
339
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000340 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
341 suggestion.
342
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000343 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
344 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
345 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
346 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
347 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
348 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if

361
362 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
363 work even if there is no interface carrying the
364 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
365 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
366 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
367 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
368 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000370 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
371 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
372 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
373
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100374 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
375 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
376 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
377 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
378 for existing connections, but new connections will use
379 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
380 renumbering at least possible.
381
382 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000424 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
425 which is not the primary address of an interface.
426
427 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
428
429 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
430 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
431 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
432 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
433 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
434 implementation.
435
436 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
437 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
438 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
439 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
440 set them from the make command line.
441
442 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
443 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

452 containing many distinct addresses.
453
454 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
455 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
456 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
457 this.
458
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000459 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
460 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
461
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000462 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
463 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
464 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
465 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
466
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000467 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
468 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
469 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
470 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000471 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000472 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
473
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000474 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
475 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
476 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
477 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
478 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
479 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
480 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
481 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
482 These will be added as the standards mature.
483 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
484 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
485 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000486
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000487 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
488 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
489 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
490 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
491 enabling with --enable-ra.
492
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000493 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
494 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
495 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
496 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000503version 2.59
504 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
505 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
506 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
507 report.
508
509 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
510 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
511 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
512 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
513 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
514 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
515 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
516 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
517 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100518

Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100520version 2.58
521 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
522 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
523
524 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
525 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
526 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
527
528 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
529 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
530 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
531 server-deployment applications need this.
532
533 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
534 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
535 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
536 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
537 in chasing this one down.
538
539 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
540 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
541 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
542 the problem.
543
544 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
545 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
546 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
547 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
548 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
549 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
550
551 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
552 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
553 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
554 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
555 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
556 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
557 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
558 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
559
560 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
561 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
562
563 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
564 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
565 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
566 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
567
568 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
569 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
570
571 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
572 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
573 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
574 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
575 Agrawal for the patch.
576
577 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
578 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
579 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
580 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
581 per-network values. So
582 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
583 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
584 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
585 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
586 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
587 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
588
589 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
590 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
591 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
592 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
593 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
594 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
595 a comprehensive test-case.
596
597 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
598 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr

Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100600
601 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
602 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
603 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
604 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000612version 2.57
613 Add patches to allow build under Android.
614
615 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
616 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
617 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
618 effectively empty on Android.
619
620 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
621 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
622 wildcard.
623
624 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
625 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
626 spotting this.
627
628 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
629 IDN support continues to be included automatically
630 when i18n is included.
631 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
632
633 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
634 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
635 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.

637
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000638version 2.56
639 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
640 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
641
642 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
643 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
644 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
645 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
646
647 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
648 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
649
650 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
651 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
652 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
653
654 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
655 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
656 syslogd.
657
658 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
659 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
660 Petrin for the orignal patch.
661
662 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
663 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
664 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
665
666 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
667 option, on the command line.
668
669 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
670 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
671
672 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
673 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
674 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
675 to John Hallam for the patch.
676
677 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
678 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
679 character chunks instead.
680
681 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
682 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
683 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
684 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
685
686 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
687 transfer has completed succesfully.
688
689 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
690 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
691 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
692 which automatically creates
693 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
694 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
695
696 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
697 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
698
699 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
700 thanks for that.
701
702 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
703 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
704 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
705 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
706 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
707 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
708 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
709 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
710 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
711
712 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
713 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
714 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
715 set.
716
717 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
718 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
719
720 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
721 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
722 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
723
724 Edit
725 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
726 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
727 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
728
729 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
730 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
731 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
732 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
733 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
734 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
735 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
736 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
737 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
738 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
739 So:
740 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
741 --server=/google.com/#
742 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
743 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
744 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
745 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
746 William for pointing out the need for this.
747
748 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
749 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
750 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
751
752 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
753 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
754 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
755 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100778version 2.53
779 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
780 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
781
782 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
783 generated by gcc 4.4.
784
785 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
786 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
787
788 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
789 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
790 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
791
792 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
793 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
794 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
795 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
796 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
797 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
798 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
799 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
800 the documentation and new-style config files should be
801 much less confusing.
802
803 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
804 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
805 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
806
807 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
808
809 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
810
811 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
812 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
813 finding this.
814
815 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
816 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
817 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
818 from the client.
819
820 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
821 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
822 finding this.
823
824 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
825 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
826 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
827 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
828 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
829 server-override option.
830
831 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
832 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
833 allows a single line of the form
834 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
835 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
836 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
837 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
838 irrespective of the existance or lack of
839 interface=<interface>
840 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
841 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
842 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
843 configuration.
844
845 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
846
847 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
848 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
849
850 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
851 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
852 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
853 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
854
855 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
856 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
857 file, not the process/descriptor.
858
859 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
860 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
861
862 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
863 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
864 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
865 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
866 this and testing the fix.
867
868 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
869 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
870 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
871
872 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
873 upstream servers: this allows something like
874 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
875 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
876 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
877 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
878
879 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
880 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
881 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
882 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
883 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
884 work on this.
885
886 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
887 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
888 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
889 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
890 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
891 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
892 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
893
894 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
895
896 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
897 than one server available for a domain, eg.
898 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
899 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
900 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
901 here.
902
903 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
904
905 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
906 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
907
908 Fix regression which caused configuration like
909 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
910 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
911 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
912 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
913
914 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
915 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
916
917 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
918 is set.
919
920 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
921 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
922
923 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
924
925 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
926
927 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
928
929 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
930
931 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
932 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
933 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
934
935 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
936
937
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000938version 2.52
939 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
940 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
941 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
942 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
943 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
944 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
945 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
946 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
947
948 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
949 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
950 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
951 necessary for some *WRT distros.
952
953 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
954 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
955 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
956 when dnsmasq is first started.
957
958 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
959 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
960 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
961 with certain clients.
962
963 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
964 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
965 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
966
967 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
968 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
969 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
970 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
971 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
972 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
973 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
974 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
975 numbers delimited by dots.
976
977 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
978 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
979
980 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
981 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
982
983 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
984 contrib/Solaris10.
985
986 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
987 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
988 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
989 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
990 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
991 addresses available in such an installation removes a
992 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
993
994 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
995 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
996 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
997 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
998
999 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1000 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1001 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1002
1003 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1004 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1005 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1006
1007 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1008 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1009 looks like this:
1010 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1011
1012 Add some application specific code to assist in
1013 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1014 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1015
1016 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1017 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1018 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1019 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1020
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001021 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001022 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1023
1024 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1025 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1026 this.
1027
1028 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1029 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1030 providing this.
1031
1032 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1033 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1034
1035 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1036
1037 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1038
1039 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1040
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001041 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1042 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1043 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1044 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001045
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001046
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001047version 2.51
1048 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1049 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1050 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1051 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1052 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1053 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1054 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1055 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1056 suggestion.
1057
1058 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1059 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1060 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1061 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1062 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1063 a DHCP relay, if used.
1064 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1065
1066 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1067 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1068
1069 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1070 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1071 dhcp-option-force.
1072
1073 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1074 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1075 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1076
1077 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1078 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1079 the patch.
1080
1081 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1082
1083 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1084 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1085
1086 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1087 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1088 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1089 suggestion.
1090
1091 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1092 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1093 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1094 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1095 dhcp-optsfile.
1096
1097 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1098 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1099 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1100 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1101 suggestion.
1102
1103 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1104 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1105 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1106 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1107 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1108
1109 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1110 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1111 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1112 fragmented packets.
1113
1114 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1115 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1116
1117 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001120version 2.50
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001121 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001122 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1123 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1124 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1125 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1126 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1127 and CVE: 2009-2957
1128
1129 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1130 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1131 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1132 CVE: 2009-2958
1133
1134
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001135version 2.49
1136 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1137 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1138
1139 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1140 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1141 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1142 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1143
1144 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1145
1146
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001147version 2.48
1148 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1149 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1150 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001151
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001152 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1153 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1154 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001155
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001156 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1157 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1158 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001159
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001160 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1161 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1162 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1163 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001164
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001165 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1166 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001167
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001168 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1169 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1170 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1171 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001172
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001173 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1174 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1175 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001176
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001177 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1178 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1179 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001180
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001181 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001182
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001183 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1184 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1185 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1186 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1187 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1188 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1189 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1190 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1191 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001192
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001193 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1194 useful suggestions.
1195
1196 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1197 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1198 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1199
1200 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1201 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001202
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001203 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001204
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001205
1206version 2.47
1207 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1208
1209 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1210 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1211
1212 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1213 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1214 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1215
1216 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1217 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1218 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1219 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1220 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1221 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1222 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1223 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1224 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1225 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1226 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1227 Krafft for the bug report.
1228
1229 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1230
1231 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1232 Fix for this bug:
1233 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1234
1235 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1236 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1237 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1238 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1239
1240 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1241 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1242
1243 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1244
1245 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1246 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1247 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1248 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1249 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1250
1251 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1252 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1253
1254 No longer complain about blank lines in
1255 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1256
1257 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1258 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1259 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1260 for the bug report.
1261
1262 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1263 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1264 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1265 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1266
1267 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1268 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1269 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1270 as before.
1271 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1272 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1273 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1274
1275 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1276 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1277 Windows even when using supernetting.
1278 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1279 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1280 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1281 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1282
1283 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1284
1285 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1286 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1287 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1288 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1289 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1290 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1291 dnsmasq.

1295 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1296 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1297 suggestion.
1298
1299 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1300 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1301 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1302 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1303 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1304
1305 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1306 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1307 based in their IP address.
1308
1309 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1310 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1311 a domain associated with each client, and only
1312 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1313 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1314 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1315 long as they are in different domains.
1316
1317 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1318 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1319 have now that it's variable.
1320
1321 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1322 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1323 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1324 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1325 potential.
1326
1327 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1328 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1329 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1330
1331 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1332 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1333
1334 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1335 which the DHCP request was received.
1336
1337 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1338 Laine for the patch.
1339
1340 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1341 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1342
1343 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1344 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1345 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1346 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1347 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1348 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1349 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1350 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1351 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1352 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1353 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1354
1355 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1356 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1357 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1358 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1359 improvement.
1360
1361 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1362 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1363 suggestions on this.
1364
1365 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1366 Fisher.
1367
1368 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1369
1370 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1371 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1372
1373 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1374
1375 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1376 up" event occurs.

1380 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1381 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1382 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1383 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1384
1385
1386version 2.44
1387 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1388 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1389 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1390
1391 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1392 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1393 never been reported in the wild.
1394
1395 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1396 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1397
1398 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1399 is large.

1401 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1402 David Gilman.

1410 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1411 illegally.
1412
1413 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1414
1415 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1416 format.
1417
1418 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1419 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1420 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1421 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1422 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1423
1424 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1425 Rack for the bug report.
1426
1427 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1428 Bergquist.
1429
1430 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1431 option.
1432
1433 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1434 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1435
1436 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1437 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1438
1439 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1440 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1441 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1442 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1443 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1444 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1445 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1446 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1447 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1448 suggestions.
1449
1450 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1451 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1452 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1453
1454 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1455 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1456 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1457 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1458 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1459 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1460 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1461 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1462 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1463 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1464
1465 Replace the random number generator, for better
1466 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1467 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1468 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1469 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1470 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1471 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1472
1473 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1474 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1475 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1476 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1477 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1478
1479 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
