Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +01001version 2.63
2 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
3
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +01004 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
5 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
6
7 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
8 stuff is pointless without that.

Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +010011version 2.62
12 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
13
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +010014 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
15 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
16
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +010017 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
18 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
19 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
20
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +010021 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
22 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
23 for spotting this.
24
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +010025 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
26 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
27 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
28
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +010029 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
30
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +010031 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
32 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
33 his help nailing this.
34
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +010035
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +000036version 2.61
37 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
38 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
39 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
40 addresses.
41
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +010042 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
43 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
44 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
45 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
46 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
47 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +000048
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +000049 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
50
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000051 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
52 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
53 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +010054 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000055 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +000056
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000057 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
58 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
59 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
60
61 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
62
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +000063 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
64 suggestion.
65
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +000066 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
67 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
68 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
69 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
70 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
71 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
72 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
73 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
74 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
75 Gadgil.
76
77 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
78 the above.
79
80 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
81 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +000082 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
83 Forkel.
84
85 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
86 work even if there is no interface carrying the
87 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
88 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
89 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
90 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
91 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +000092
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +000093 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
94 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
95 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
96
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +010097 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
98 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
99 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
100 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
101 for existing connections, but new connections will use
102 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
103 renumbering at least possible.
104
105 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100106 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100107
108 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
109 using the settings provided for DHCP options
110 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +0100111
112 Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
113 SamLT for work on this.
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100114
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100115 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
116 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
117 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100118
119 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100120 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100121 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
122 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
123 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100124 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
125
126 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +0100127
128 Give correct from-cache answers to explict CNAME queries.
129 Thanks to Rob Zwissler for spotting this.
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100130
Simon Kelleyfc92ead2012-04-22 21:28:24 +0100131 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100132 patch.
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100133
134 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
135 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100136 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100137 Ene for the patch.
Simon Kelley19d69be2012-04-27 10:14:34 +0100138
139 Fix failure of TFTP over IPv4 on OpenBSD platform. Thanks
140 to Brad Smith for spotting this.
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100141
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100142
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000143version 2.60
144 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
145 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100146
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000147 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
148 which is not the primary address of an interface.
149
150 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
151
152 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
153 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
154 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
155 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
156 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
157 implementation.
158
159 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
160 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
161 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
162 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
163 set them from the make command line.
164
165 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
166 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
167
168 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
169 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
170
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000171 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
172 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000173
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000174 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
175 containing many distinct addresses.
176
177 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
178 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
179 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
180 this.
181
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000182 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
183 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
184
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000185 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
186 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
187 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
188 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
189
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000190 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
191 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
192 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
193 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000194 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000195 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
196
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000197 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
198 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
199 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
200 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
201 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
202 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
203 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
204 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
205 These will be added as the standards mature.
206 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
207 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
208 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000209
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000210 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
211 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
212 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
213 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
214 enabling with --enable-ra.
215
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000216 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
217 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
218 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
219 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000220
221 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000222
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000223 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
224
225
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000226version 2.59
227 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
228 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
229 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
230 report.
231
232 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
233 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
234 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
235 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
236 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
237 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
238 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
239 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
240 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100241
242
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100243version 2.58
244 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
245 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
246
247 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
248 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
249 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
250
251 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
252 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
253 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
254 server-deployment applications need this.
255
256 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
257 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
258 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
259 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
260 in chasing this one down.
261
262 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
263 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
264 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
265 the problem.
266
267 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
268 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
269 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
270 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
271 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
272 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
273
274 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
275 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
276 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
277 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
278 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
279 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
280 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
281 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
282
283 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
284 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
285
286 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
287 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
288 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
289 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
290
291 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
292 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
293
294 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
295 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
296 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
297 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
298 Agrawal for the patch.
299
300 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
301 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
302 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
303 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
304 per-network values. So
305 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
306 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
307 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
308 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
309 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
310 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
311
312 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
313 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
314 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
315 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
316 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
317 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
318 a comprehensive test-case.
319
320 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
321 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
322 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
323
324 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
325 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
326 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
327 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
328 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
329
330 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
331
332 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
333
334
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000335version 2.57
336 Add patches to allow build under Android.
337
338 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
339 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
340 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
341 effectively empty on Android.
342
343 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
344 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
345 wildcard.
346
347 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
348 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
349 spotting this.
350
351 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
352 IDN support continues to be included automatically
353 when i18n is included.
354 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
355
356 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
357 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
358 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
359
360
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000361version 2.56
362 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
363 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
364
365 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
366 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
367 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
368 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
369
370 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
371 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
372
373 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
374 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
375 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
376
377 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
378 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
379 syslogd.
380
381 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
382 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
383 Petrin for the orignal patch.
384
385 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
386 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
387 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
388
389 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
390 option, on the command line.
391
392 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
393 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
394
395 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
396 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
397 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
398 to John Hallam for the patch.
399
400 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
401 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
402 character chunks instead.
403
404 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
405 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
406 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
407 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
408
409 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
410 transfer has completed succesfully.
411
412 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
413 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
414 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
415 which automatically creates
416 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/

419 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
420 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
421
422 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
423 thanks for that.
424
425 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
426 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
427 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
428 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
429 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
430 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
431 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
432 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
433 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
434
435 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
436 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
437 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
438 set.
439
440 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
441 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
442
443 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
444 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
445 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
446
447 Edit
448 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
449 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
450 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
451
452 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
453 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
454 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
455 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
456 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
457 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
458 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
459 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
460 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
461 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
462 So:
463 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
464 --server=/google.com/#
465 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
466 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
467 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
468 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
469 William for pointing out the need for this.
470
471 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
472 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
473 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
474
475 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
476 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
477 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
478 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

502 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
503 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
504
505 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
506 generated by gcc 4.4.
507
508 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
509 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
510
511 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
512 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
513 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
514
515 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
516 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
517 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
518 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
519 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
520 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
521 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
522 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
523 the documentation and new-style config files should be
524 much less confusing.
525
526 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
527 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
528 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
529
530 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
531
532 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
533
534 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
535 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
536 finding this.
537
538 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
539 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
540 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
541 from the client.
542
543 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
544 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
545 finding this.
546
547 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
548 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
549 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
550 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
551 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
552 server-override option.
553
554 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
555 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
556 allows a single line of the form
557 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
558 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
559 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
560 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
561 irrespective of the existance or lack of
562 interface=<interface>
563 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
564 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
565 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
566 configuration.
567
568 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
569
570 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
571 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
572
573 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
574 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
575 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
576 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
577
578 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
579 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
580 file, not the process/descriptor.
581
582 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
583 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
584
585 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
586 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
587 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
588 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
589 this and testing the fix.
590
591 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
592 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
593 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
594
595 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
596 upstream servers: this allows something like
597 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
598 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
599 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
600 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
601
602 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
603 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
604 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
605 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
606 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
607 work on this.
608
609 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
610 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
611 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
612 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
613 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
614 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
615 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
616
617 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
618
619 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
620 than one server available for a domain, eg.
621 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
622 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
623 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
624 here.
625
626 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
627
628 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
629 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
630
631 Fix regression which caused configuration like
632 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
633 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
634 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
635 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
636
637 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
638 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
639
640 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
641 is set.
642
643 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
644 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
645
646 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
647
648 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
649
650 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
651
652 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
653
654 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
655 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
656 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
657
658 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
659
660
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000661version 2.52
662 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
663 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
664 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
665 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
666 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
667 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
668 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
669 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
670
671 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
672 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
673 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
674 necessary for some *WRT distros.
675
676 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
677 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
678 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
679 when dnsmasq is first started.
680
681 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
682 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
683 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
684 with certain clients.
685
686 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
687 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
688 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
689
690 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
691 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
692 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
693 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
694 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
695 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
696 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
697 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
698 numbers delimited by dots.
699
700 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
701 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
702
703 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
704 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
705
706 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
707 contrib/Solaris10.
708
709 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
710 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
711 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
712 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
713 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
714 addresses available in such an installation removes a
715 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
716
717 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
718 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
719 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
720 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
721
722 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
723 the lease-change script in the environment variable
724 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
725
726 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
727 Options". The syntax looks like this:
728 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
729
730 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
731 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
732 looks like this:
733 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
734
735 Add some application specific code to assist in
736 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
737 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
738
739 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
740 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
741 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
742 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
743
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100744 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000745 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
746
747 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
748 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
749 this.
750
751 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
752 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
753 providing this.
754
755 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
756 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.

763
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100764 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
765 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
766 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
767 finding and analysing the problem.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100770version 2.51
771 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
772 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
773 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
774 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
775 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
776 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
777 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
778 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
779 suggestion.
780
781 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
782 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
783 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
784 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
785 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
786 a DHCP relay, if used.
787 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
788
789 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
790 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
791
792 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
793 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
794 dhcp-option-force.
795
796 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
797 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
798 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
799
800 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
801 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
802 the patch.
803
804 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
805
806 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
807 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
808
809 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
810 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
811 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
812 suggestion.
813
814 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
815 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
816 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
817 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
818 dhcp-optsfile.
819
820 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
821 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
822 is retried. This should improve performance when there
823 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
824 suggestion.
825
826 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
827 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
828 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
829 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
830 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
831
832 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
833 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
834 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
835 fragmented packets.
836
837 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
838 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
839
840 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

859 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
860 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
861
862 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
863 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
864 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
865 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
866

897 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
898 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100900 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
901 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
902 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000903
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100904 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000905
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100906 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
907 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
908 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
909 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
910 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
911 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
912 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
913 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
914 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000915
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100916 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
917 useful suggestions.
918
919 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
920 this, edit src/config.h or build with
921 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
922
923 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
924 configuration files only.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100926 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

929version 2.47
930 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
931
932 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
933 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
934
935 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
936 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
937 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
938
939 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
940 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
941 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
942 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
943 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
944 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
945 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
946 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
947 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
948 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
949 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
950 Krafft for the bug report.
951
952 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
953
954 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
955 Fix for this bug:
956 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
957
958 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
959 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
960 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
961 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
962
963 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
964 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
965
966 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
967
968 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
969 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
970 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
971 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
972 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
973
974 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
975 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
976
977 No longer complain about blank lines in
978 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
979
980 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
981 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
982 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
983 for the bug report.
984
985 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
986 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
987 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
988 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
989
990 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
991 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
992 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
993 as before.
994 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
995 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
996 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
997
998 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
999 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1000 Windows even when using supernetting.
1001 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1002 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1003 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1004 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1005
1006 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1007
1008 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1009 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1010 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1011 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1012 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1013 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1014 dnsmasq.

1017version 2.46
1018 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1019 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1020 suggestion.
1021
1022 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1023 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1024 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1025 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1026 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1027
1028 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1029 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1030 based in their IP address.
1031
1032 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1033 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1034 a domain associated with each client, and only
1035 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1036 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1037 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1038 long as they are in different domains.
1039
1040 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1041 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1042 have now that it's variable.
1043
1044 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1045 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1046 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1047 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1048 potential.
1049
1050 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1051 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1052 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1053
1054 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1055 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1056
1057 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1058 which the DHCP request was received.
1059
1060 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1061 Laine for the patch.
1062
1063 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1064 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1065
1066 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1067 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1068 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1069 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1070 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1071 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1072 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1073 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1074 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1075 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1076 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1077
1078 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1079 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1080 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1081 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1082 improvement.
1083
1084 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1085 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1086 suggestions on this.
1087
1088 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1089 Fisher.
1090
1091 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1092
1093 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1094 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1095
1096 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1097
1098 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1099 up" event occurs.
1100
1101
1102version 2.45
1103 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1104 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1105 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1106 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1107
1108
1109version 2.44
1110 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1111 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1112 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1113
1114 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1115 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1116 never been reported in the wild.
1117
1118 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1119 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1120
1121 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1122 is large.
1123
1124 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1125 David Gilman.
1126
1127 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1128
1129
1130version 2.43
1131 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1132
1133 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1134 illegally.
1135
1136 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1137
1138 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1139 format.
1140
1141 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1142 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1143 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1144 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1145 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1146
1147 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1148 Rack for the bug report.
1149
1150 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1151 Bergquist.
1152
1153 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1154 option.
1155
1156 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1157 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1158
1159 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1160 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1161
1162 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1163 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1164 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1165 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1166 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1167 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1168 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1169 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1170 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1171 suggestions.
1172
1173 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1174 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1175 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1176
1177 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1178 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1179 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1180 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1181 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1182 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1183 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1184 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1185 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1186 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1187
1188 Replace the random number generator, for better
1189 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1190 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1191 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1192 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1193 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1194 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1195
1196 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1197 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1198 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1199 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1200 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1201
1202 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
