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 Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +010088 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
89 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
90 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
91 for suggesting this.
92
93
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +000094version 2.66
95 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
96 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
97 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
98 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
99 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
100 servers to be configured.
101
102 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
103 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
104 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
105 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
106 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
107 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
108 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
109 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000110
111 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000112 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
113 patch.
114
115 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
116 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
117 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
118 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
119 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
120 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
121 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000122
123 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
124 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
125 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000126
127 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
128 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000129 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000130 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
131 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
132 bounty for this addition.
133
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000134 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
135 information-requests with some common configurations.
136 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
137 chasing the problem.
138
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000139 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
140 patch.
141
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000142 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000143 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000144
145 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
146 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000147
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100148 Handle the situation where libc headers define
149 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
150 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
151 Felker for the bug report.
152
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100153 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100154
155 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
156 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
157 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100158
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100159 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
160
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000161
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000162version 2.65
163 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
164 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
165 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
166
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000167 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
168 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000169
170 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000171
172
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100173version 2.64
174 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
175 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
176 spotting the problem.
177
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100178 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
179 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
180 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
181 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
182 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
183 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
184
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100185 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
186 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
187
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100188 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
189 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
190
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100191 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
192 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
193
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000194 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100195 Williams for the patch.
196
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000197 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
198 Roy Marples for the patch.
199
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100200 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
201 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100202
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100203 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
204 for the patch.
205
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100206 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
207 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
208 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
209
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100210 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
211 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
212 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
213 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
214
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100215 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
216 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
217 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
218
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100219 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
220 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
221 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
222
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000223 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
224 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
225 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000226
227 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
228 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000229
230 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
231 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
232 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000233
234 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
235 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
236 without setting source address and interface, since this
237 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
238 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
239
240 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
241 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100242
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000243
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100244version 2.63
245 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
246
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100247 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
248 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
249
250 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
251 stuff is pointless without that.
252
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100253 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
254 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
255 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100256
257 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
258 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100259
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100260 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
261 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
262 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
263 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
264 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
265 superceded by other mechanisms.
266
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100267 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
268 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
269
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100270 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
271 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
272
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100273 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100274
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100275 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
276 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
277 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
278 the suggestion.
279
280 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
281 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
282 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100283
284 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100285
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100286 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
287 which overrides the default,
288 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
289 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
290
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100291 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
292 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
293
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100294
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100295version 2.62
296 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
297
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100298 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
299 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
300
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100301 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
302 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
303 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
304
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100305 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
306 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
307 for spotting this.
308
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100309 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
310 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
311 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
312
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100313 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
314
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100315 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
316 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
317 his help nailing this.
318
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000319version 2.61
320 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
321 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
322 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
323 addresses.
324
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100325 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
326 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
327 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
328 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
329 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
330 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000331
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000332 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
333
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000334 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
335 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
336 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100337 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000338 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000339
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000340 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
341 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
342 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
343
344 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
345
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000346 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
347 suggestion.
348
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000349 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
350 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
351 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
352 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
353 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
354 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
355 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
356 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
357 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
358 Gadgil.
359
360 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
361 the above.
362
363 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
364 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can

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

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000376 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
377 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
378 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
379
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100380 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
381 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
382 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
383 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
384 for existing connections, but new connections will use
385 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
386 renumbering at least possible.
387
388 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100389 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100398 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000430 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
431 which is not the primary address of an interface.
432
433 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
434
435 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
436 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
437 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
438 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
439 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
440 implementation.
441
442 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
443 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
444 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
445 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
446 set them from the make command line.
447
448 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
449 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
450
451 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
452 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000457 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
458 containing many distinct addresses.
459
460 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
461 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
462 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
463 this.
464
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000465 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
466 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
467
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000468 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
469 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
470 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
471 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
472
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000473 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
474 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
475 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
476 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000477 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000478 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
479
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000480 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
481 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
482 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
483 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
484 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
485 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
486 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
487 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
488 These will be added as the standards mature.
489 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
490 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
491 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000492
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000493 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
494 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
495 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
496 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
497 enabling with --enable-ra.
498
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000499 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
500 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
501 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
502 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

508
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000509version 2.59
510 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
511 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
512 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
513 report.
514
515 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
516 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
517 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
518 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
519 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
520 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
521 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
522 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
523 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100524
525
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100526version 2.58
527 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
528 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
529
530 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
531 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
532 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
533
534 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
535 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
536 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
537 server-deployment applications need this.
538
539 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
540 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
541 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
542 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
543 in chasing this one down.
544
545 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
546 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
547 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
548 the problem.
549
550 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
551 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
552 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
553 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
554 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
555 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
556
557 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
558 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
559 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
560 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
561 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
562 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
563 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
564 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
565
566 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
567 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
568
569 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
570 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
571 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
572 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
573
574 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
575 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
576
577 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
578 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
579 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
580 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
581 Agrawal for the patch.
582
583 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
584 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
585 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
586 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
587 per-network values. So
588 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
589 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
590 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
591 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
592 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
593 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
594
595 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
596 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
597 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
598 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
599 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
600 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
601 a comprehensive test-case.
602
603 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
604 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100605 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100606
607 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
608 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
609 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
610 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
611 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

617
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000618version 2.57
619 Add patches to allow build under Android.
620
621 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
622 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
623 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
624 effectively empty on Android.
625
626 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
627 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
628 wildcard.
629
630 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
631 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
632 spotting this.
633
634 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
635 IDN support continues to be included automatically
636 when i18n is included.
637 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
638
639 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
640 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
641 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
642
643
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000644version 2.56
645 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
646 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
647
648 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
649 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
650 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
651 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
652
653 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
654 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
655
656 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
657 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
658 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
659
660 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
661 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
662 syslogd.
663
664 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
665 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
666 Petrin for the orignal patch.
667
668 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
669 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
670 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
671
672 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
673 option, on the command line.
674
675 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
676 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
677
678 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
679 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
680 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
681 to John Hallam for the patch.
682
683 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
684 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
685 character chunks instead.
686
687 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
688 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
689 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
690 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
691
692 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
693 transfer has completed succesfully.
694
695 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
696 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
697 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
698 which automatically creates
699 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
700 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
701
702 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
703 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
704
705 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
706 thanks for that.
707
708 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
709 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
710 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
711 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
712 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
713 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
714 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
715 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
716 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
717
718 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
719 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
720 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
721 set.
722
723 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
724 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
725
726 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
727 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
728 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
729
730 Edit
731 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
732 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
733 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
734
735 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
736 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
737 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
738 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
739 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
740 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
741 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
742 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
743 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
744 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
745 So:
746 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
747 --server=/google.com/#
748 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
749 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
750 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
751 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
752 William for pointing out the need for this.
753
754 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
755 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
756 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
757
758 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
759 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
760 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
761 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

779version 2.54
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000780 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
781 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100784version 2.53
785 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
786 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
787
788 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
789 generated by gcc 4.4.
790
791 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
792 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
793
794 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
795 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
796 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
797
798 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
799 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
800 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
801 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
802 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
803 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
804 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
805 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
806 the documentation and new-style config files should be
807 much less confusing.
808
809 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
810 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
811 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
812
813 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
814
815 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
816
817 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
818 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
819 finding this.
820
821 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
822 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
823 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
824 from the client.
825
826 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
827 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
828 finding this.
829
830 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
831 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
832 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
833 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
834 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
835 server-override option.
836
837 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
838 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
839 allows a single line of the form
840 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
841 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
842 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
843 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
844 irrespective of the existance or lack of
845 interface=<interface>
846 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
847 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
848 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
849 configuration.
850
851 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
852
853 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
854 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
855
856 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
857 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
858 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
859 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
860
861 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
862 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
863 file, not the process/descriptor.
864
865 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
866 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
867
868 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
869 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
870 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
871 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
872 this and testing the fix.
873
874 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
875 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
876 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
877
878 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
879 upstream servers: this allows something like
880 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
881 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
882 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
883 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
884
885 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
886 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
887 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
888 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
889 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
890 work on this.
891
892 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
893 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
894 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
895 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
896 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
897 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
898 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
899
900 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
901
902 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
903 than one server available for a domain, eg.
904 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
905 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
906 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
907 here.
908
909 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
910
911 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
912 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
913
914 Fix regression which caused configuration like
915 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
916 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
917 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
918 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
919
920 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
921 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
922
923 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
924 is set.
925
926 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
927 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
928
929 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
930
931 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
932
933 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
934
935 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
936
937 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
938 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
939 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
940
941 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
942
943
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000944version 2.52
945 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
946 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
947 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
948 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
949 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
950 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
951 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
952 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
953
954 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
955 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
956 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
957 necessary for some *WRT distros.
958
959 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
960 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
961 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
962 when dnsmasq is first started.
963
964 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
965 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
966 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
967 with certain clients.
968
969 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
970 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
971 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
972
973 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
974 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
975 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
976 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
977 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
978 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
979 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
980 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
981 numbers delimited by dots.
982
983 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
984 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
985
986 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
987 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
988
989 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
990 contrib/Solaris10.
991
992 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
993 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
994 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
995 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
996 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
997 addresses available in such an installation removes a
998 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
999
1000 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1001 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1002 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1003 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1004
1005 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1006 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1007 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1008
1009 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1010 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1011 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1012
1013 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1014 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1015 looks like this:
1016 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1017
1018 Add some application specific code to assist in
1019 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1020 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1021
1022 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1023 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1024 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1025 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1026
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001027 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001028 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1029
1030 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1031 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1032 this.
1033
1034 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1035 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1036 providing this.
1037
1038 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1039 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1040
1041 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1042
1043 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1044
1045 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1046
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001047 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1048 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1049 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1050 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001051
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001052
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001053version 2.51
1054 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1055 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1056 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1057 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1058 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1059 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1060 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1061 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1062 suggestion.
1063
1064 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1065 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1066 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1067 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1068 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1069 a DHCP relay, if used.
1070 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1071
1072 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1073 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1074
1075 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1076 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1077 dhcp-option-force.
1078
1079 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1080 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1081 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1082
1083 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1084 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1085 the patch.
1086
1087 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1088
1089 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1090 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1091
1092 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1093 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1094 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1095 suggestion.
1096
1097 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1098 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1099 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1100 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1101 dhcp-optsfile.
1102
1103 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1104 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1105 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1106 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1107 suggestion.
1108
1109 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1110 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1111 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1112 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1113 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1114
1115 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1116 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1117 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1118 fragmented packets.
1119
1120 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1121 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1122
1123 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001126version 2.50
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001127 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001128 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1129 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1130 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1131 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1132 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1133 and CVE: 2009-2957
1134
1135 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1136 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1137 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1138 CVE: 2009-2958
1139
1140
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001141version 2.49
1142 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1143 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1144
1145 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1146 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1147 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1148 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1149
1150 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1151
1152
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001153version 2.48
1154 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1155 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1156 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001157
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001158 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1159 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1160 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001161
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001162 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1163 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1164 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001165
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001166 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1167 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1168 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1169 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001170
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001171 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1172 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001173
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001174 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1175 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1176 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1177 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001178
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001179 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1180 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1181 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001182
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001183 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1184 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1185 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001186
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001187 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001188
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001189 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1190 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1191 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1192 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1193 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1194 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1195 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1196 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1197 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001198
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001199 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1200 useful suggestions.
1201
1202 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1203 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1204 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1205
1206 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1207 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001208
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001209 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001210
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001211
1212version 2.47
1213 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1214
1215 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1216 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1217
1218 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1219 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1220 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1221
1222 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1223 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1224 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1225 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1226 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1227 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1228 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1229 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1230 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1231 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1232 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1233 Krafft for the bug report.
1234
1235 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.

1240
1241 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1242 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1243 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1244 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1245
1246 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1247 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1248
1249 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1250
1251 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1252 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1253 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1254 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1255 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1256
1257 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1258 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1259
1260 No longer complain about blank lines in
1261 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1262
1263 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1264 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1265 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1266 for the bug report.
1267
1268 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1269 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1270 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1271 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1272
1273 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1274 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1275 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1276 as before.
1277 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1278 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1279 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1280
1281 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1282 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1283 Windows even when using supernetting.
1284 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1285 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1286 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1287 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1288
1289 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1290
1291 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1292 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1293 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1294 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1295 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1296 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1297 dnsmasq.

1301 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1302 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1303 suggestion.
1304
1305 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1306 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1307 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1308 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1309 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1310
1311 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1312 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1313 based in their IP address.
1314
1315 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1316 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1317 a domain associated with each client, and only
1318 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1319 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1320 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1321 long as they are in different domains.
1322
1323 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1324 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1325 have now that it's variable.
1326
1327 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1328 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1329 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1330 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1331 potential.
1332
1333 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1334 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1335 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1336
1337 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1338 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1339
1340 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1341 which the DHCP request was received.
1342
1343 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1344 Laine for the patch.
1345
1346 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1347 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1348
1349 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1350 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1351 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1352 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1353 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1354 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1355 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1356 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1357 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1358 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1359 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1360
1361 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1362 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1363 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1364 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1365 improvement.
1366
1367 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1368 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1369 suggestions on this.
1370
1371 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1372 Fisher.
1373
1374 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1375
1376 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1377 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1378
1379 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1380
1381 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1382 up" event occurs.
1383
1384
1385version 2.45
1386 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1387 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1388 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1389 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1390
1391
1392version 2.44
1393 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1394 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1395 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1396
1397 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1398 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1399 never been reported in the wild.
1400
1401 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1402 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1403
1404 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1405 is large.
1406
1407 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1408 David Gilman.
1409
1410 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1411
1412
1413version 2.43
1414 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1415
1416 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1417 illegally.
1418
1419 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1420
1421 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1422 format.
1423
1424 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1425 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1426 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1427 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1428 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1429
1430 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1431 Rack for the bug report.
1432
1433 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1434 Bergquist.
1435
1436 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1437 option.
1438
1439 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1440 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1441
1442 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1443 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1444
1445 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1446 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1447 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1448 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1449 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1450 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1451 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1452 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1453 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1454 suggestions.
1455
1456 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1457 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1458 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1459
1460 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1461 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1462 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1463 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1464 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1465 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1466 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1467 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1468 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1469 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1470
1471 Replace the random number generator, for better
1472 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1473 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1474 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1475 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1476 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1477 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1478
1479 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1480 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1481 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1482 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1483 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1484
1485 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
