Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +00001version 2.61
2 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
3 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
4 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
5 addresses.
6
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +01007 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
8 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
9 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
10 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
11 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
12 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +000013
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +000014 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
15
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000016 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
17 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
18 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
19 this wrong. Thanks to Conrda Kostecki for help tracking
20 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +000021
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000022 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
23 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
24 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
25
26 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
27
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +000028 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
29 suggestion.
30
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +000031 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
32 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
33 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
34 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
35 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
36 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
37 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
38 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
39 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
40 Gadgil.
41
42 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
43 the above.
44
45 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
46 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +000047 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
48 Forkel.
49
50 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
51 work even if there is no interface carrying the
52 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
53 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
54 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
55 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
56 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +000057
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +000058 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
59 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
60 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
61
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +010062 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
63 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
64 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
65 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
66 for existing connections, but new connections will use
67 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
68 renumbering at least possible.
69
70 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley83e854e2012-04-05 13:21:58 +010071 aquistion to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +010072
73 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
74 using the settings provided for DHCP options
75 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +010076
77 Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
78 SamLT for work on this.
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +010079
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +010080 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
81 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
82 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +010083
84 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
85 on exacly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
86 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
87 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
88 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
89 and thr OpenStack team for the suggestion.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +000092version 2.60
93 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
94 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +010095
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +000096 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
97 which is not the primary address of an interface.
98
99 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
100
101 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
102 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
103 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
104 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
105 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
106 implementation.
107
108 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
109 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
110 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
111 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
112 set them from the make command line.
113
114 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
115 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
116
117 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
118 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
119
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000120 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
121 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000122
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000123 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
124 containing many distinct addresses.
125
126 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
127 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
128 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
129 this.
130
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000131 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
132 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
133
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000134 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
135 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
136 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
137 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
138
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000139 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
140 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
141 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
142 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000143 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000144 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
145
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000146 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
147 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
148 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
149 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
150 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
151 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
152 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
153 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
154 These will be added as the standards mature.
155 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
156 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
157 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000158
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000159 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
160 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
161 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
162 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
163 enabling with --enable-ra.
164
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000165 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
166 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
167 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
168 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000169
170 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000171
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000172 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
173
174
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000175version 2.59
176 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
177 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
178 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
179 report.
180
181 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
182 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
183 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
184 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
185 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
186 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
187 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
188 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
189 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100190
191
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100192version 2.58
193 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
194 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
195
196 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
197 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
198 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
199
200 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
201 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
202 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
203 server-deployment applications need this.
204
205 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
206 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
207 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
208 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
209 in chasing this one down.
210
211 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
212 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
213 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
214 the problem.
215
216 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
217 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
218 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
219 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
220 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
221 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
222
223 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
224 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
225 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
226 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
227 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
228 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
229 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
230 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
231
232 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
233 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
234
235 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
236 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
237 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
238 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
239
240 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
241 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
242
243 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
244 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
245 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
246 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
247 Agrawal for the patch.
248
249 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
250 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
251 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
252 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
253 per-network values. So
254 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
255 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
256 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
257 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
258 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
259 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
260
261 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
262 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
263 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
264 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
265 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
266 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
267 a comprehensive test-case.
268
269 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
270 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
271 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
272
273 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
274 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
275 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
276 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
277 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
278
279 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
280
281 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
282
283
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000284version 2.57
285 Add patches to allow build under Android.
286
287 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
288 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
289 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
290 effectively empty on Android.
291
292 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
293 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
294 wildcard.
295
296 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
297 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
298 spotting this.
299
300 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
301 IDN support continues to be included automatically
302 when i18n is included.
303 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
304
305 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
306 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
307 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
308
309
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000310version 2.56
311 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
312 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
313
314 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
315 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
316 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
317 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
318
319 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
320 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
321
322 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
323 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
324 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
325
326 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
327 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
328 syslogd.
329
330 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
331 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
332 Petrin for the orignal patch.
333
334 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
335 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
336 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
337
338 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
339 option, on the command line.
340
341 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
342 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
343
344 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
345 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
346 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
347 to John Hallam for the patch.
348
349 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
350 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
351 character chunks instead.
352
353 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
354 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
355 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
356 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
357
358 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
359 transfer has completed succesfully.
360
361 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
362 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
363 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
364 which automatically creates
365 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
366 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
367
368 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
369 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
370
371 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
372 thanks for that.
373
374 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
375 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
376 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
377 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
378 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
379 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
380 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
381 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
382 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
383
384 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
385 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
386 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
387 set.
388
389 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
390 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
391
392 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
393 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
394 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
395
396 Edit
397 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
398 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
399 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
400
401 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
402 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
403 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
404 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
405 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
406 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
407 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
408 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
409 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
410 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
411 So:
412 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
413 --server=/google.com/#
414 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
415 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
416 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
417 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
418 William for pointing out the need for this.
419
420 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
421 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
422 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
423
424 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
425 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
426 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
427 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
428
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000429 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
430 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100450version 2.53
451 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
452 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
453
454 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
455 generated by gcc 4.4.
456
457 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
458 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
459
460 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
461 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
462 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
463
464 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
465 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
466 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
467 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
468 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
469 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
470 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
471 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
472 the documentation and new-style config files should be
473 much less confusing.
474
475 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
476 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
477 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
478
479 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
480
481 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
482
483 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
484 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
485 finding this.
486
487 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
488 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
489 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
490 from the client.
491
492 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
493 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
494 finding this.
495
496 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
497 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
498 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
499 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
500 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
501 server-override option.
502
503 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
504 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
505 allows a single line of the form
506 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
507 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
508 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
509 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
510 irrespective of the existance or lack of
511 interface=<interface>
512 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
513 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
514 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
515 configuration.
516
517 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
518
519 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
520 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
521
522 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
523 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
524 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
525 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
526
527 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
528 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
529 file, not the process/descriptor.
530
531 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
532 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
533
534 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
535 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
536 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
537 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
538 this and testing the fix.
539
540 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
541 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
542 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
543
544 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
545 upstream servers: this allows something like
546 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
547 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
548 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
549 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
550
551 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
552 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
553 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
554 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
555 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
556 work on this.
557
558 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
559 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
560 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
561 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
562 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
563 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
564 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
565
566 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
567
568 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
569 than one server available for a domain, eg.
570 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
571 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
572 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
573 here.
574
575 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
576
577 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
578 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
579
580 Fix regression which caused configuration like
581 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
582 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
583 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
584 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
585
586 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
587 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
588
589 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
590 is set.
591
592 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
593 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
594
595 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
596
597 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
598
599 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
600
601 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
602
603 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
604 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
605 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
606
607 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
608
609
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000610version 2.52
611 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
612 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
613 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
614 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
615 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
616 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
617 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
618 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
619
620 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
621 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
622 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
623 necessary for some *WRT distros.
624
625 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
626 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
627 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
628 when dnsmasq is first started.
629
630 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
631 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
632 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
633 with certain clients.
634
635 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
636 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
637 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
638
639 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
640 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
641 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
642 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
643 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
644 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
645 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
646 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
647 numbers delimited by dots.
648
649 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
650 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
651
652 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
653 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
654
655 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
656 contrib/Solaris10.
657
658 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
659 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
660 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
661 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
662 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
663 addresses available in such an installation removes a
664 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
665
666 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
667 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
668 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
669 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
670
671 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
672 the lease-change script in the environment variable
673 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
674
675 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
676 Options". The syntax looks like this:
677 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
678
679 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
680 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
681 looks like this:
682 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
683
684 Add some application specific code to assist in
685 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
686 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
687
688 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
689 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
690 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
691 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
692
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100693 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000694 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
695
696 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
697 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
698 this.
699
700 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
701 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
702 providing this.
703
704 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
705 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
706

708
709 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

712
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100713 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
714 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
715 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
716 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000717

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100719version 2.51
720 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
721 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
722 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
723 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
724 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
725 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
726 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
727 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
728 suggestion.
729
730 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
731 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
732 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
733 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
734 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
735 a DHCP relay, if used.
736 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
737
738 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
739 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
740
741 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
742 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
743 dhcp-option-force.
744
745 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
746 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
747 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
748
749 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
750 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
751 the patch.
752
753 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
754
755 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
756 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
757
758 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
759 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
760 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
761 suggestion.
762
763 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
764 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
765 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
766 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
767 dhcp-optsfile.
768
769 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
770 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
771 is retried. This should improve performance when there
772 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
773 suggestion.
774
775 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
776 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
777 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
778 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
779 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
780
781 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
782 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
783 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
784 fragmented packets.
785
786 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
787 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
788
789 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +0100794 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
795 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security

809 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
810
811 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
812 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
813 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
814 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
815

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100832 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
833 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100845 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
846 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
847 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000848
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100849 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100855 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
856 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
857 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
858 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
859 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
860 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
861 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
862 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
863 and Michael Brown for assistance.

880
881 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
882 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
883
884 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
885 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
886 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
887
888 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
889 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
890 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
891 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
892 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
893 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
894 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
895 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
896 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
897 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
898 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
899 Krafft for the bug report.

907 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
908 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
909 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
910 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,

914
915 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
916
917 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
918 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
919 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
920 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
921 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
922
923 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
924 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
925
926 No longer complain about blank lines in
927 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
928
929 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
930 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
931 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
932 for the bug report.
933
934 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
935 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
936 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
937 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
938
939 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
940 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
941 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
942 as before.
943 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
944 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
945 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
946
947 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
948 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
949 Windows even when using supernetting.
950 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
951 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
952 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
953 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
954
955 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
956
957 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
958 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
959 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
960 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
961 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
962 directory owned and write-able by the user running
963 dnsmasq.

967 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
968 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
969 suggestion.
970
971 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
972 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
973 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
974 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
975 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
976
977 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
978 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
979 based in their IP address.
980
981 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
982 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
983 a domain associated with each client, and only
984 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
985 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
986 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
987 long as they are in different domains.
988
989 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
990 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
991 have now that it's variable.
992
993 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
994 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
995 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
996 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
997 potential.
998
999 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1000 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1001 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1002
1003 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1004 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1005
1006 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1007 which the DHCP request was received.
1008
1009 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1010 Laine for the patch.
1011
1012 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1013 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1014
1015 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1016 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1017 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1018 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1019 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1020 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1021 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1022 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1023 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1024 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1025 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1026
1027 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1028 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1029 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1030 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1031 improvement.
1032
1033 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1034 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1035 suggestions on this.
1036
1037 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1038 Fisher.
1039
1040 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1041
1042 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1043 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1044
1045 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1046
1047 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1048 up" event occurs.
1049
1050
1051version 2.45
1052 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1053 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1054 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1055 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1056
1057
1058version 2.44
1059 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1060 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1061 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1062
1063 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1064 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1065 never been reported in the wild.
1066
1067 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1068 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1069
1070 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1071 is large.
1072
1073 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1074 David Gilman.
1075
1076 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.

1079version 2.43
1080 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1081
1082 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1083 illegally.
1084
1085 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1086
1087 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1088 format.
1089
1090 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1091 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1092 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1093 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1094 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1095
1096 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1097 Rack for the bug report.
1098
1099 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1100 Bergquist.
1101
1102 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1103 option.
1104
1105 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1106 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1107
1108 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1109 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1110
1111 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1112 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1113 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1114 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1115 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1116 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1117 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1118 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1119 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1120 suggestions.
1121
1122 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1123 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1124 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1125
1126 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1127 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1128 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1129 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1130 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1131 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1132 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1133 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1134 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1135 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1136
1137 Replace the random number generator, for better
1138 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1139 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1140 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1141 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1142 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1143 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1144
1145 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1146 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1147 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1148 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1149 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1150
1151 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
