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
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +010093 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
94 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
95
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +010096 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
97 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
98 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
99 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
100 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
101
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100102 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
103 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100104
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100105 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
106 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
107
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100108 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
109 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
110 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
111
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100112 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
113 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
114
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100115 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
116 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
117 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
118 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
119 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100120
121 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
122 address must be either the first or last address in the
123 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
124 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100125
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100126 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
127
Tanguy Bouzelocef1d7422013-10-03 11:06:31 +0100128 Fix problem in DHCPv6 vendorclass/userclass matching
129 code. Thanks to Tanguy Bouzeloc for the patch.
130
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100131 Update Spanish transalation. Thanks to Vicente Soriano.
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100132
Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100133 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
134 inspiration on this.
135
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100136 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100137 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
138 for sponsoring this feature.
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100139
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100140 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
141 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
142
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100143
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000144version 2.66
145 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
146 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
147 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
148 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
149 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
150 servers to be configured.
151
152 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
153 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
154 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
155 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
156 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
157 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
158 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
159 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000160
161 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000162 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
163 patch.
164
165 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
166 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
167 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
168 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
169 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
170 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
171 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000172
173 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
174 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
175 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000176
177 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
178 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000179 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000180 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
181 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
182 bounty for this addition.
183
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000184 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
185 information-requests with some common configurations.
186 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
187 chasing the problem.
188
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000189 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
190 patch.
191
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000192 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000193 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000194
195 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
196 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000197
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100198 Handle the situation where libc headers define
199 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
200 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
201 Felker for the bug report.
202
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100203 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100204
205 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
206 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
207 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100208
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100209 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
210
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000211
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000212version 2.65
213 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
214 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
215 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
216
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000217 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
218 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000219
220 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000221
222
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100223version 2.64
224 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
225 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
226 spotting the problem.
227
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100228 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
229 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
230 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
231 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
232 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
233 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
234
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100235 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
236 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
237
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100238 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
239 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
240
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100241 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
242 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
243
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000244 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100245 Williams for the patch.
246
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000247 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
248 Roy Marples for the patch.
249
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100250 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
251 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100252
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100253 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
254 for the patch.
255
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100256 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
257 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
258 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
259
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100260 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
261 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
262 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
263 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
264
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100265 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
266 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
267 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
268
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100269 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
270 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
271 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
272
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000273 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
274 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
275 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000276
277 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
278 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000279
280 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
281 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
282 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000283
284 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
285 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
286 without setting source address and interface, since this
287 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
288 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
289
290 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
291 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100292
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000293
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100294version 2.63
295 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
296
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100297 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
298 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
299
300 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
301 stuff is pointless without that.
302
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100303 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
304 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
305 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100306
307 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
308 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100309
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100310 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
311 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
312 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
313 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
314 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
315 superceded by other mechanisms.
316
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100317 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
318 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
319
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100320 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
321 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
322
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100323 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100324
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100325 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
326 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
327 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
328 the suggestion.
329
330 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
331 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
332 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100333
334 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100335
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100336 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
337 which overrides the default,
338 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
339 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
340
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100341 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router

Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100345version 2.62
346 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
347
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100348 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
349 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
350
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100351 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
352 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
353 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
354
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100355 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
356 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
357 for spotting this.
358
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100359 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
360 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
361 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
362
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100363 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
364
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100365 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
366 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
367 his help nailing this.
368
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000369version 2.61
370 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
371 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
372 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
373 addresses.
374
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100375 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
376 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
377 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
378 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
379 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
380 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000381
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000382 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
383
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000384 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
385 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
386 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100387 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000388 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000389
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000390 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
391 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
392 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
393
394 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
395
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000396 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
397 suggestion.
398
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000399 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
400 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
401 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
402 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
403 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
404 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
405 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
406 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
407 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
408 Gadgil.
409
410 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
411 the above.
412
413 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
414 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000415 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
416 Forkel.
417
418 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
419 work even if there is no interface carrying the
420 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
421 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
422 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
423 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
424 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000425
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000426 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
427 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
428 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
429
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100430 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
431 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
432 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
433 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
434 for existing connections, but new connections will use
435 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
436 renumbering at least possible.
437
438 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100439 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100440
441 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
442 using the settings provided for DHCP options
443 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +0100444
445 Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
446 SamLT for work on this.
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100447
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100448 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
449 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
450 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100451
452 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100453 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100454 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
455 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
456 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100457 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
458
459 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +0100460
461 Give correct from-cache answers to explict CNAME queries.
462 Thanks to Rob Zwissler for spotting this.
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100463
Simon Kelleyfc92ead2012-04-22 21:28:24 +0100464 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100465 patch.
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100466
467 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
468 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100469 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100470 Ene for the patch.
Simon Kelley19d69be2012-04-27 10:14:34 +0100471
472 Fix failure of TFTP over IPv4 on OpenBSD platform. Thanks

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000476version 2.60
477 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
478 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100479
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000480 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
481 which is not the primary address of an interface.
482
483 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
484
485 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
486 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
487 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
488 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
489 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
490 implementation.
491
492 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
493 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
494 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
495 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
496 set them from the make command line.
497
498 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
499 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
500
501 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
502 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
503
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000504 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
505 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000506
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000507 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
508 containing many distinct addresses.
509
510 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
511 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
512 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
513 this.
514
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000515 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
516 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
517
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000518 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
519 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
520 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
521 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
522
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000523 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
524 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
525 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
526 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000527 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000528 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
529
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000530 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
531 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
532 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
533 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
534 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
535 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
536 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
537 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
538 These will be added as the standards mature.
539 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
540 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
541 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000542
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000543 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
544 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
545 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
546 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
547 enabling with --enable-ra.
548
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000549 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
550 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
551 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
552 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000553
554 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000555
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000556 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
557
558
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000559version 2.59
560 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
561 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
562 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
563 report.
564
565 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
566 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
567 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
568 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
569 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
570 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
571 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
572 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
573 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100574
575
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100576version 2.58
577 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
578 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
579
580 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
581 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
582 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
583
584 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
585 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
586 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
587 server-deployment applications need this.
588
589 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
590 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
591 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
592 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
593 in chasing this one down.
594
595 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
596 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
597 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
598 the problem.
599
600 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
601 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
602 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
603 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
604 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
605 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
606
607 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
608 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
609 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
610 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
611 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
612 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
613 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
614 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
615
616 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
617 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
618
619 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
620 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
621 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
622 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
623
624 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
625 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
626
627 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
628 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
629 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
630 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
631 Agrawal for the patch.
632
633 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
634 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
635 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
636 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
637 per-network values. So
638 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
639 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
640 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
641 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
642 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
643 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
644
645 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
646 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
647 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
648 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
649 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
650 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
651 a comprehensive test-case.
652
653 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
654 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100655 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100656
657 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
658 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
659 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
660 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
661 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
662
663 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
664
665 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
666
667
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000668version 2.57
669 Add patches to allow build under Android.
670
671 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
672 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
673 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
674 effectively empty on Android.
675
676 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
677 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
678 wildcard.
679
680 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
681 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
682 spotting this.
683
684 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
685 IDN support continues to be included automatically
686 when i18n is included.
687 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
688
689 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
690 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
691 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
692
693
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000694version 2.56
695 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
696 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
697
698 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
699 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
700 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
701 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
702
703 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
704 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
705
706 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
707 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
708 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
709
710 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
711 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
712 syslogd.
713
714 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
715 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
716 Petrin for the orignal patch.
717
718 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
719 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
720 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
721
722 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
723 option, on the command line.
724
725 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
726 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
727
728 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
729 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
730 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
731 to John Hallam for the patch.
732
733 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
734 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
735 character chunks instead.
736
737 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
738 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
739 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
740 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
741
742 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
743 transfer has completed succesfully.
744
745 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
746 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
747 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
748 which automatically creates
749 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
750 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
751
752 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
753 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
754
755 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
756 thanks for that.

758 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
759 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
760 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
761 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
762 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
763 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
764 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
765 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
766 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
767
768 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
769 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
770 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
771 set.
772
773 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
774 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
775
776 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
777 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
778 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
779
780 Edit
781 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
782 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
783 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
784
785 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
786 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
787 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
788 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
789 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
790 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
791 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
792 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
793 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
794 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
795 So:
796 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
797 --server=/google.com/#
798 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
799 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
800 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
801 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
802 William for pointing out the need for this.
803
804 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
805 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
806 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
807
808 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
809 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
810 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
811 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100834version 2.53
835 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
836 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
837
838 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
839 generated by gcc 4.4.
840
841 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
842 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
843
844 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
845 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
846 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
847
848 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
849 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
850 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
851 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
852 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
853 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
854 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
855 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
856 the documentation and new-style config files should be
857 much less confusing.
858
859 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
860 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
861 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
862
863 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
864
865 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
866
867 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
868 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
869 finding this.
870
871 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
872 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
873 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
874 from the client.
875
876 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
877 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
878 finding this.
879
880 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
881 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
882 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
883 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
884 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
885 server-override option.
886
887 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
888 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
889 allows a single line of the form
890 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
891 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
892 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
893 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
894 irrespective of the existance or lack of
895 interface=<interface>
896 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
897 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
898 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
899 configuration.
900
901 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
902
903 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
904 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
905
906 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
907 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
908 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
909 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
910
911 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
912 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
913 file, not the process/descriptor.
914
915 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
916 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
917
918 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
919 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
920 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
921 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
922 this and testing the fix.
923
924 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
925 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
926 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
927
928 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
929 upstream servers: this allows something like
930 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
931 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
932 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
933 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
934
935 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
936 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
937 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
938 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
939 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
940 work on this.
941
942 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
943 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
944 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
945 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
946 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
947 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
948 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
949
950 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
951
952 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
953 than one server available for a domain, eg.
954 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
955 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
956 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
957 here.
958
959 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
960
961 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
962 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
963
964 Fix regression which caused configuration like
965 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
966 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
967 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
968 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
969
970 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
971 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
972
973 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
974 is set.
975
976 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
977 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
978
979 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
980
981 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
982
983 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
984
985 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
986
987 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
988 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
989 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
990
991 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
992
993
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000994version 2.52
995 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
996 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
997 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
998 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
999 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1000 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1001 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1002 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1003
1004 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1005 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1006 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1007 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1008
1009 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1010 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1011 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1012 when dnsmasq is first started.
1013
1014 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1015 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1016 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1017 with certain clients.
1018
1019 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1020 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1021 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1022
1023 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1024 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1025 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1026 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1027 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1028 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1029 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1030 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1031 numbers delimited by dots.
1032
1033 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1034 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1035
1036 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1037 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1038
1039 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1040 contrib/Solaris10.
1041
1042 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1043 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1044 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1045 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1046 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1047 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1048 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1049
1050 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1051 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1052 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1053 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1054
1055 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1056 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1057 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1058
1059 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1060 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1061 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1062
1063 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1064 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1065 looks like this:
1066 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1067
1068 Add some application specific code to assist in
1069 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1070 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1071
1072 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1073 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1074 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1075 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1076
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001077 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001078 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1079
1080 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1081 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1082 this.
1083
1084 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1085 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1086 providing this.
1087
1088 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1089 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1090

1096
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001097 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1098 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1099 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1100 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001101
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001102
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001103version 2.51
1104 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1105 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1106 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1107 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1108 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1109 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1110 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1111 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1112 suggestion.
1113
1114 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1115 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1116 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1117 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1118 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1119 a DHCP relay, if used.
1120 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1121
1122 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1123 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1124
1125 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1126 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1127 dhcp-option-force.
1128
1129 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1130 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1131 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1132
1133 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1134 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1135 the patch.
1136
1137 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1138
1139 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1140 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1141
1142 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1143 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1144 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1145 suggestion.
1146
1147 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1148 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1149 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1150 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1151 dhcp-optsfile.
1152
1153 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1154 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1155 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1156 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1157 suggestion.
1158
1159 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1160 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1161 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1162 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1163 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1164
1165 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1166 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1167 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1168 fragmented packets.
1169
1170 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1171 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1172
1173 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001178 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1179 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security

1192 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1193 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1194
1195 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1196 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1197 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1198 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1199
1200 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001208 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1209 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1210 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.

Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001215
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001216 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1217 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1218 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1219 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001221 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1222 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001223
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001224 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1225 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1226 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1227 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001229 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1230 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1231 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001232
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001233 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1234 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1235 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001236
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001237 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001238
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001239 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1240 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1241 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1242 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1243 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1244 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1245 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1246 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1247 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001248
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001249 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1250 useful suggestions.
1251
1252 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1253 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1254 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1255
1256 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1257 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001258
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001259 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001261
1262version 2.47
1263 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1264
1265 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1266 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1267
1268 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1269 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1270 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1271
1272 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1273 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1274 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1275 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1276 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1277 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1278 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1279 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1280 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1281 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1282 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1283 Krafft for the bug report.
1284
1285 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1286
1287 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1288 Fix for this bug:
1289 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1290
1291 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1292 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1293 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1294 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1295
1296 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1297 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1298
1299 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1300
1301 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1302 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1303 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1304 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1305 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1306
1307 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1308 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1309
1310 No longer complain about blank lines in
1311 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1312
1313 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1314 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1315 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1316 for the bug report.
1317
1318 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1319 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1320 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1321 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1322
1323 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1324 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1325 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1326 as before.
1327 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1328 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1329 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1330
1331 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1332 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1333 Windows even when using supernetting.
1334 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1335 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1336 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1337 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1338
1339 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1340
1341 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1342 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1343 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1344 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1345 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1346 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1347 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001348
1349
1350version 2.46
1351 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1352 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1353 suggestion.
1354
1355 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1356 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1357 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1358 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1359 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1360
1361 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1362 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1363 based in their IP address.
1364
1365 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1366 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1367 a domain associated with each client, and only
1368 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1369 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1370 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1371 long as they are in different domains.
1372
1373 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1374 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1375 have now that it's variable.
1376
1377 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1378 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1379 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1380 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1381 potential.
1382
1383 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1384 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1385 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1386
1387 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1388 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1389
1390 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1391 which the DHCP request was received.
1392
1393 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1394 Laine for the patch.
1395
1396 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1397 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1398
1399 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1400 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1401 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1402 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1403 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1404 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1405 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1406 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1407 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1408 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1409 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1410
1411 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1412 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1413 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1414 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1415 improvement.
1416
1417 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1418 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1419 suggestions on this.
1420
1421 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1422 Fisher.
1423
1424 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1425
1426 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1427 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1428
1429 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1430
1431 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1432 up" event occurs.
1433
1434
1435version 2.45
1436 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1437 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1438 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1439 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1440
1441
1442version 2.44
1443 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1444 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1445 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1446
1447 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1448 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1449 never been reported in the wild.
1450
1451 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1452 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1453
1454 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1455 is large.
1456
1457 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1458 David Gilman.
1459
1460 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1461
1462
1463version 2.43
1464 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1465
1466 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1467 illegally.
1468
1469 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1470
1471 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1472 format.
1473
1474 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1475 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1476 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1477 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1478 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1479
1480 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1481 Rack for the bug report.
1482
1483 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1484 Bergquist.
1485
1486 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1487 option.
1488
1489 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1490 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1491
1492 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1493 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1494
1495 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1496 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1497 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1498 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1499 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1500 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1501 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1502 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1503 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1504 suggestions.
1505
1506 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1507 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1508 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1509
1510 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1511 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1512 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1513 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1514 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1515 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1516 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1517 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1518 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1519 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1520
1521 Replace the random number generator, for better
1522 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1523 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1524 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1525 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1526 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1527 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1528
1529 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1530 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1531 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1532 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1533 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1534
1535 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
