6 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
7 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
8 non-existent DS records.
9
10 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
11 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
12 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
13 report.
14
15 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
16 for spotting that too.

Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +010018 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
19 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
20 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.

Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +010023version 2.70
24 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
25 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
26 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
27
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +010028 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to

Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +000032version 2.69
33 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
34 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
35 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
36 valuable research on how to implement this.
37
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +000038 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +000039 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +000040
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +000041 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
42 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
43 for spotting the problem.
44
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +000045 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
46 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
47 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
48 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
49 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
50
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000051 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
52 compiled with this enabled, with
53
54 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
55
56 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
57 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
58 statically with
59
60 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
61
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +010062 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
63 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
64
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000065 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
66 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
67 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
68 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
69 distribution. You should of course check that these are
70 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
71
72 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
73 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +000074
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000075 to your config is all thats needed to get things
76 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
77 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
78 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
79 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
80 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
81 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
82 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
83 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
84 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
85 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
86 records, which significantly improve the performance of
87 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
88 DNSSEC in action.
89
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +010090 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
91 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
92 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
93 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
94 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
95 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
96 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
97 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
98 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
99 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
100 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
101 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
102 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
103 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
104 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
105 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
106
107 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
108 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
109 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
110 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
111 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
112 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
113 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
114 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
115 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
116 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
117 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
118 henceforward will be complete.
119
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000120 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
121 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
122 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
123 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
124 a workable state.
125
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000126 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000127
128 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
129 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000130
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000131 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
132 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
133 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000134 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000135 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
136 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
137 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
138 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
139
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000140 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
141 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
142 find this and helping to chase it down.
143
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100144 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
145 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
146 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
147
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100148 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
149 well as logging them.
150
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000151
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000152version 2.68
153 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
154 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
155 addresses.
156
157 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
158 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
159 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
160 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
161 restarted, this bug disappeared.
162
163 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
164 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
165
166 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
167
168 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
169 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
170 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
171 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
172 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
173 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
174 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
175 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
176 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
177 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
178 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
179 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
180 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000181
182 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
183 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
184 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
185 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000186
187 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
188 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
189
190 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
191 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000192
193 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
194 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
195 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
196 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
197 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000198
199 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
200 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
201 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
202 corresponding address on the local interface.
203
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000204
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100205version 2.67
206 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
207 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
208 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100209
210 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
211 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
212 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
213 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
214 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
215 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
216 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
217 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100218
219 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
220 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
221 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100222
223 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
224 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100225
226 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
227 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100228
229 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
230 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
231 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
232 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
233 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
234 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
235 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
236 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100237
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100238 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
239 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
240 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
241 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
242 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100243
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100244 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
245 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
246
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100247 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
248 spurious error when all seven possible items were
249 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100250
251 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
252 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
253
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100254 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
255 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
256
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100257 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
258 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
259 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
260 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
261 report.
262
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100263 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
264 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
265 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
266
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100267 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero
Simon Kelley3953dcc2013-07-03 20:40:45 +0100268 terminator. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the bug report.
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100269
Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100270 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
271 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
272
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100273 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
274 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
275 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
276 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
277
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100278 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
279 via DBus too.
280
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100281 When the address which triggered the construction of an
282 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
283 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
284 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
285 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
286 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
287 arguing for this.
288
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100289 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
290 for the bug report.

Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100292 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
293 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
294 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
295 for suggesting this.
296
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100297 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
298 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
299
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100300 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
301 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
302 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
303 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
304 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
305
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100306 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
307 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100308
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100309 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
310 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
311
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100312 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
313 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
314 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
315
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100316 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
317 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
318
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100319 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
320 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
321 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
322 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
323 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100324
325 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
326 address must be either the first or last address in the
327 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
328 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100329
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100330 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
331
Tanguy Bouzelocef1d7422013-10-03 11:06:31 +0100332 Fix problem in DHCPv6 vendorclass/userclass matching
333 code. Thanks to Tanguy Bouzeloc for the patch.

Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100337 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
338 inspiration on this.
339
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100340 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100341 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
342 for sponsoring this feature.

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100344 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
345 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
346
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100347 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
348 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
349 suggestion.
350
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100351 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
352 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
353 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
354 spotting the problem.
355
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100356 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000360version 2.66
361 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
362 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
363 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
364 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
365 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
366 servers to be configured.
367
368 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
369 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
370 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
371 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
372 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
373 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
374 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
375 this idea.

377 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000378 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
379 patch.

381 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
382 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
383 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
384 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
385 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
386 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
387 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000388
389 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
390 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
391 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000392
393 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
394 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000395 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000396 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
397 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
398 bounty for this addition.
399
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000400 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
401 information-requests with some common configurations.
402 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
403 chasing the problem.
404
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000405 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
406 patch.
407
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000408 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000409 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.

Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100414 Handle the situation where libc headers define
415 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
416 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
417 Felker for the bug report.

430 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
431 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.

438
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100439version 2.64
440 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
441 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
442 spotting the problem.
443
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100444 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
445 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
446 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
447 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
448 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
449 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
450
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100451 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

471
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100472 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
473 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
474 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
475
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100476 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
477 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
478 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
479 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
480
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100481 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
482 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
483 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
484
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100485 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
486 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
487 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.

Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000489 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
490 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
491 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.

496 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
497 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
498 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.

500 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
501 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
502 without setting source address and interface, since this
503 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
504 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

514 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
515
516 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
517 stuff is pointless without that.
518
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100519 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
520 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
521 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100522

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100526 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
527 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
528 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
529 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
530 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
531 superceded by other mechanisms.
532
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100533 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
534 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100541 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
542 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
543 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
544 the suggestion.

546 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
547 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
548 spotted the ommission.

586 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use

588 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
589 addresses.
590
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100591 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
592 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
593 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
594 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to

607 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
608 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
609
610 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
611
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000612 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the

Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000615 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
616 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
617 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
618 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
619 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
620 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
621 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
622 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
623 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
624 Gadgil.
625
626 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
627 the above.

632 Forkel.
633
634 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
635 work even if there is no interface carrying the
636 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
637 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
638 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
639 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
640 the idea and initial patch.

644 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
645
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100646 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
647 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
648 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
649 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
650 for existing connections, but new connections will use
651 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
652 renumbering at least possible.
653
654 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease

699 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
700
701 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
702 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
703 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
704 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
705 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
706 implementation.
707
708 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
709 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
710 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
711 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
712 set them from the make command line.
713
714 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)

721 release tags or hash values.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000723 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
724 containing many distinct addresses.
725
726 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
727 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
728 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
729 this.
730
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000731 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
732 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
733
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000734 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
735 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
736 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
737 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
738
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000739 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
740 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
741 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
742 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000743 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000744 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
745
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000746 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
747 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
748 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
749 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
750 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
751 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
752 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
753 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
754 These will be added as the standards mature.
755 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
756 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
757 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000758
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000759 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
760 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
761 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
762 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
763 enabling with --enable-ra.
764
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000765 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
766 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
767 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
768 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000769
770 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000772 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
773
774
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000775version 2.59
776 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
777 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
778 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
779 report.
780
781 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
782 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
783 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
784 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
785 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
786 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
787 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
788 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
789 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100790
791
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100792version 2.58
793 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
794 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
795
796 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
797 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
798 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
799
800 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
801 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
802 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
803 server-deployment applications need this.
804
805 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
806 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
807 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
808 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
809 in chasing this one down.
810
811 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
812 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
813 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
814 the problem.
815
816 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
817 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
818 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
819 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
820 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
821 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
822
823 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
824 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
825 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
826 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
827 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
828 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
829 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
830 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
831
832 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
833 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
834
835 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
836 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
837 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
838 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
839
840 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
841 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
842
843 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
844 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
845 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
846 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
847 Agrawal for the patch.
848
849 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
850 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
851 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
852 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
853 per-network values. So
854 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
855 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
856 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
857 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
858 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
859 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
860
861 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
862 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
863 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
864 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
865 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
866 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
867 a comprehensive test-case.
868
869 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
870 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100871 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100872
873 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
874 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
875 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
876 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
877 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
878
879 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
880
881 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
882
883
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000884version 2.57
885 Add patches to allow build under Android.
886
887 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
888 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
889 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
890 effectively empty on Android.
891
892 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
893 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
894 wildcard.
895
896 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
897 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
898 spotting this.
899
900 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
901 IDN support continues to be included automatically
902 when i18n is included.
903 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
904
905 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
906 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
907 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
908
909
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000910version 2.56
911 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
912 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
913
914 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
915 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
916 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
917 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
918
919 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
920 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
921
922 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
923 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
924 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
925
926 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
927 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
928 syslogd.
929
930 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
931 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
932 Petrin for the orignal patch.
933
934 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
935 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
936 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
937
938 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
939 option, on the command line.
940
941 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
942 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
943
944 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
945 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
946 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
947 to John Hallam for the patch.
948
949 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
950 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
951 character chunks instead.
952
953 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
954 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
955 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
956 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
957
958 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
959 transfer has completed succesfully.
960
961 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
962 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
963 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
964 which automatically creates
965 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
966 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
967
968 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
969 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
970
971 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
972 thanks for that.
973
974 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
975 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
976 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
977 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
978 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
979 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
980 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
981 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
982 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
983
984 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
985 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
986 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
987 set.
988
989 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
990 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
991
992 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
993 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
994 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
995
996 Edit
997 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
998 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
999 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1000
1001 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1002 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1003 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1004 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1005 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1006 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1007 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1008 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1009 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1010 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1011 So:
1012 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1013 --server=/google.com/#
1014 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1015 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1016 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1017 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1018 William for pointing out the need for this.
1019
1020 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1021 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1022 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1023
1024 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1025 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1026 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1027 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1028
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001029 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001050version 2.53
1051 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1052 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1053
1054 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1055 generated by gcc 4.4.
1056
1057 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1058 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1059
1060 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1061 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1062 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1063
1064 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1065 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1066 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1067 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1068 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1069 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1070 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1071 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1072 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1073 much less confusing.
1074
1075 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1076 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1077 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1078
1079 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1080
1081 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1082
1083 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1084 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1085 finding this.
1086
1087 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1088 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1089 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1090 from the client.
1091
1092 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1093 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1094 finding this.
1095
1096 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1097 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1098 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1099 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1100 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1101 server-override option.
1102
1103 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1104 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1105 allows a single line of the form
1106 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1107 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1108 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1109 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1110 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1111 interface=<interface>
1112 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1113 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1114 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1115 configuration.
1116
1117 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1118
1119 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1120 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1121
1122 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1123 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1124 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1125 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1126
1127 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1128 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1129 file, not the process/descriptor.
1130
1131 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1132 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1133
1134 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1135 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1136 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1137 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1138 this and testing the fix.
1139
1140 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1141 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1142 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1143
1144 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1145 upstream servers: this allows something like
1146 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1147 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1148 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1149 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1150
1151 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1152 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1153 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1154 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1155 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1156 work on this.
1157
1158 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1159 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1160 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1161 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1162 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1163 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1164 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1165
1166 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1167
1168 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1169 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1170 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1171 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1172 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1173 here.
1174
1175 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1176
1177 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1178 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1179
1180 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1181 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1182 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1183 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1184 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1185
1186 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1187 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1188
1189 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1190 is set.
1191
1192 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1193 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1194
1195 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1196
1197 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1198
1199 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1200
1201 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1202
1203 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1204 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1205 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1206
1207 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001210version 2.52
1211 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1212 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1213 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1214 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1215 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1216 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1217 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1218 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1219
1220 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1221 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1222 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1223 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1224
1225 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1226 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1227 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1228 when dnsmasq is first started.
1229
1230 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1231 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1232 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1233 with certain clients.
1234
1235 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1236 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1237 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1238
1239 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1240 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1241 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1242 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1243 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1244 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1245 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1246 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1247 numbers delimited by dots.
1248
1249 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1250 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1251
1252 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1253 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1254
1255 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1256 contrib/Solaris10.
1257
1258 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1259 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1260 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1261 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1262 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1263 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1264 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1265
1266 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1267 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1268 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1269 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1270
1271 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1272 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1273 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1274
1275 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1276 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1277 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1278
1279 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1280 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1281 looks like this:
1282 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1283
1284 Add some application specific code to assist in
1285 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1286 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1287
1288 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1289 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1290 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1291 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1292
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001293 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001294 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1295
1296 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1297 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1298 this.
1299
1300 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1301 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1302 providing this.
1303
1304 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1305 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1306
1307 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1308
1309 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1310
1311 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1312
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001313 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1314 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1315 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1316 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001317
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001318
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001319version 2.51
1320 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1321 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1322 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1323 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1324 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1325 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1326 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1327 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1328 suggestion.
1329
1330 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1331 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1332 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1333 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1334 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1335 a DHCP relay, if used.
1336 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1337
1338 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1339 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1340
1341 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1342 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1343 dhcp-option-force.
1344
1345 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1346 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1347 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1348
1349 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1350 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1351 the patch.
1352
1353 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1354
1355 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1356 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1357
1358 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1359 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1360 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1361 suggestion.
1362
1363 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1364 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1365 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1366 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1367 dhcp-optsfile.
1368
1369 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1370 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1371 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1372 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1373 suggestion.
1374
1375 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1376 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1377 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1378 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1379 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1380
1381 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1382 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1383 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1384 fragmented packets.
1385
1386 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1387 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1388
1389 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001393 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001394 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1395 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1396 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1397 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1398 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1399 and CVE: 2009-2957
1400
1401 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1402 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1403 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1404 CVE: 2009-2958

1408 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1409 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1410
1411 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1412 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1413 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1414 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1415
1416 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001419version 2.48
1420 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1421 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1422 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001423
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001424 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1425 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1426 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001427
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001428 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1429 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1430 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001431
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001432 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1433 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1434 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1435 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001436
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001437 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1438 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001439
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001440 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1441 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1442 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1443 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001444
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001445 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1446 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1447 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001448
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001449 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1450 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1451 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001452
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001453 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001454
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001455 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1456 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1457 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1458 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1459 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1460 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1461 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1462 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1463 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001464
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001465 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1466 useful suggestions.
1467
1468 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1469 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1470 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1471
1472 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1473 configuration files only.

1479 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1480
1481 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1482 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1483
1484 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1485 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1486 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1487
1488 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1489 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1490 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1491 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1492 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1493 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1494 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1495 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1496 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1497 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1498 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1499 Krafft for the bug report.
1500
1501 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1502
1503 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1504 Fix for this bug:
1505 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1506
1507 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1508 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1509 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1510 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1511
1512 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1513 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1514
1515 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1516
1517 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1518 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1519 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1520 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1521 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1522
1523 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1524 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1525
1526 No longer complain about blank lines in
1527 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1528
1529 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1530 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1531 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1532 for the bug report.
1533
1534 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1535 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1536 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1537 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1538
1539 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1540 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1541 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1542 as before.
1543 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1544 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1545 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1546
1547 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1548 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1549 Windows even when using supernetting.
1550 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1551 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1552 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1553 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1554
1555 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1556
1557 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1558 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1559 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1560 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1561 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1562 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1563 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001564

1566version 2.46
1567 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1568 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1569 suggestion.
1570
1571 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1572 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1573 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1574 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1575 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1576
1577 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1578 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1579 based in their IP address.
1580
1581 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1582 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1583 a domain associated with each client, and only
1584 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1585 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1586 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1587 long as they are in different domains.
1588
1589 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1590 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1591 have now that it's variable.
1592
1593 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1594 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1595 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1596 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1597 potential.
1598
1599 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1600 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1601 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1602
1603 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1604 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1605
1606 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1607 which the DHCP request was received.
1608
1609 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1610 Laine for the patch.
1611
1612 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1613 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1614
1615 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1616 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1617 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1618 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1619 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1620 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1621 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1622 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1623 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1624 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1625 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1626
1627 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1628 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1629 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1630 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1631 improvement.
1632
1633 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1634 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1635 suggestions on this.
1636
1637 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1638 Fisher.
1639
1640 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1641
1642 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1643 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1644
1645 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1646
1647 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1648 up" event occurs.
1649
1650
1651version 2.45
1652 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1653 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1654 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1655 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1656
1657
1658version 2.44
1659 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1660 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1661 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1662
1663 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1664 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1665 never been reported in the wild.
1666
1667 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1668 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1669
1670 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1671 is large.
1672
1673 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1674 David Gilman.
1675
1676 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1677
1678
1679version 2.43
1680 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1681
1682 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1683 illegally.
1684
1685 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1686
1687 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1688 format.
1689
1690 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1691 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1692 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1693 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1694 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1695
1696 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1697 Rack for the bug report.
1698
1699 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1700 Bergquist.
1701
1702 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1703 option.
1704
1705 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1706 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1707
1708 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1709 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1710
1711 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1712 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1713 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1714 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1715 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1716 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1717 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1718 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1719 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1720 suggestions.
1721
1722 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1723 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1724 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1725
1726 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1727 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1728 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1729 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1730 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1731 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1732 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1733 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1734 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1735 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1736
1737 Replace the random number generator, for better
1738 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1739 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1740 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1741 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1742 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1743 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1744
1745 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1746 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1747 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1748 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1749 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1750
1751 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
