2 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
3 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
4 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
5 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
6 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +01007
8 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.

Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +010012version 2.75
13 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
14 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
15 reporting the bug and testing the fix.

Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +010018version 2.74
19 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
20 read the default file, rather than no file.
21
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +010022 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
23 not SEGV in some circumstances.
24
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +010025 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
26 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
27 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.

Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +010030version 2.73
31 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
32 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
33 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +000034
35 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
36 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
37 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.

Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +000039 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
40 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +000041 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
42 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
43 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +000044
45 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
46 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
47 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +000048
49 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
50 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
51 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
52 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +000053
54 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
55 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +000056
57 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
58 queries which include the specified address. No error is
59 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
60 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
61 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
62 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
63 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +000064
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +000065 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
66 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
67 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
68 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
69 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
70 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
71 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
72 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +010073
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +000074 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
75 to search automatically.
76
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +000077 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
78 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
79 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
80 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
81 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
82 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +000083
84 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
85 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
86 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +000087
88 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
89 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
90 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
91 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +000092
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +000093 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
94 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
95 for the patch.

Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +000097 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +000098
99 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100100 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
101 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
102 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
103 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100104
105 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
106 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100107
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100108 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
109 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
110 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
111 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
112 sterling work chasing this down.
113
114 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
115 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100116 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
117 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
118 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100119
120 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
121 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
122 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
123 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
124 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
125 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
126 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
127 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100128
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100129 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
130 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
131 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
132 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
133 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
134 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100135 pointing out the problem.
136
137 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
138 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
139 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100140
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100141 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
142 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
143 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
144 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
145 change permanent.
146
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100147 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
148 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
149
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100150 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
151 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
152
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100153 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
154 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
155 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
156 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100157
158 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
159 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100160

172 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100173
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100174 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
175 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
176 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100177
178 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
179 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100180
181 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
182 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100183
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100184 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
185 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
186 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
187 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
188 patch.
189
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100190 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
191 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
192 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
193 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
194 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
195 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
196
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100197 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
198 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
199 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +0100200
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100201 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
202 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100203
204 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
205 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
206 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100207
208 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
209 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.

Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100212version 2.71
213 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
214 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
215 non-existent DS records.
216
217 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
218 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
219 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
220 report.
221
222 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
223 for spotting that too.
224
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100225 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
226 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
227 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.

231 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
232 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
233 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
234
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100235 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to

Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000239version 2.69
240 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
241 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
242 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
243 valuable research on how to implement this.
244
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000245 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000246 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000247
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000248 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
249 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
250 for spotting the problem.
251
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000252 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
253 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
254 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
255 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
256 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
257
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000258 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
259 compiled with this enabled, with
260
261 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
262
263 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
264 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
265 statically with
266
267 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
268
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100269 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
270 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
271
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000272 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
273 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
274 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
275 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
276 distribution. You should of course check that these are
277 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
278
279 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
280 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000281
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000282 to your config is all thats needed to get things
283 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
284 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
285 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
286 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
287 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
288 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
289 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
290 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
291 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
292 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
293 records, which significantly improve the performance of
294 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
295 DNSSEC in action.
296
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100297 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
298 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
299 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
300 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
301 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
302 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
303 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
304 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
305 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
306 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
307 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
308 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
309 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
310 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
311 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
312 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
313
314 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
315 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
316 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
317 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
318 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
319 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
320 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
321 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
322 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
323 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
324 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
325 henceforward will be complete.
326
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000327 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
328 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
329 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
330 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
331 a workable state.
332
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000333 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000334
335 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
336 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000337
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000338 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
339 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
340 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000341 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000342 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
343 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
344 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
345 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
346
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000347 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs

353 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
354
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100355 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as

366 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
367 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
368 restarted, this bug disappeared.
369
370 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
371 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
372
373 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
374
375 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
376 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
377 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
378 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
379 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
380 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
381 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
382 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
383 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
384 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
385 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
386 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
387 IPv6 addresses of eth0.

389 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
390 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
391 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
392 for the bug report.

398 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000399
400 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
401 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
402 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
403 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
404 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000405
406 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
407 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
408 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
409 corresponding address on the local interface.

415 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100416
417 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
418 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
419 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
420 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
421 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
422 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
423 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
424 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100425

Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100435
436 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
437 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
438 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
439 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
440 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
441 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
442 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
443 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100464 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
465 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
466 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
467 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
468 report.

Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100488 When the address which triggered the construction of an
489 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
490 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
491 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
492 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
493 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
494 arguing for this.
495

Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100507 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
508 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
509 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
510 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)

Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100526 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
527 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
528 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
529 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
530 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100531
532 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000567version 2.66
568 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
569 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
570 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
571 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
572 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
573 servers to be configured.
574
575 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
576 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
577 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
578 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
579 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
580 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
581 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
582 this idea.

588 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
589 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
590 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
591 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
592 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
593 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
594 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000595

Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000603 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
604 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a

650
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100651 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
652 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
653 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
654 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
655 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
656 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
657
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100658 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100717version 2.63
718 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
719
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100720 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
721 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
722
723 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
724 stuff is pointless without that.
725
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100726 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
727 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
728 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100729
730 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
731 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100732
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100733 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
734 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
735 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
736 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
737 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
738 superceded by other mechanisms.
739
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100740 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
741 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
742
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100743 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
744 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
745
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100746 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100747
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100748 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
749 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
750 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
751 the suggestion.
752
753 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
754 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
755 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100756
757 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100759 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
760 which overrides the default,
761 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
762 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
763
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100764 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router

Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100771 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
772 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
773
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100774 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
775 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
776 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
777
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100778 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
779 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
780 for spotting this.
781
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100782 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
783 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
784 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
785
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100786 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
787
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100788 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
789 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
790 his help nailing this.
791
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000792version 2.61
793 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
794 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
795 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
796 addresses.
797
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100798 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
799 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
800 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
801 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
802 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
803 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000804
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000805 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
806
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000807 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
808 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
809 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100810 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000811 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000812
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000813 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
814 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
815 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
816
817 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
818
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000819 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
820 suggestion.
821
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000822 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
823 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
824 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
825 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
826 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
827 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
828 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
829 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
830 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
831 Gadgil.
832
833 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
834 the above.
835
836 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
837 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000838 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
839 Forkel.
840
841 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
842 work even if there is no interface carrying the
843 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
844 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
845 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
846 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
847 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000848
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000849 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
850 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
851 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
852
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100853 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
854 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
855 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
856 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
857 for existing connections, but new connections will use
858 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
859 renumbering at least possible.
860
861 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100862 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100863
864 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100871 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
872 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant

Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100902
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000903 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
904 which is not the primary address of an interface.
905
906 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
907
908 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
909 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
910 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
911 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
912 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
913 implementation.
914
915 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
916 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
917 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
918 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
919 set them from the make command line.
920
921 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
922 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
923
924 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
925 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000927 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
928 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000929
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000930 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
931 containing many distinct addresses.
932
933 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
934 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
935 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
936 this.
937
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000938 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
939 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
940
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000941 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
942 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
943 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
944 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
945
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000946 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
947 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
948 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
949 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000950 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000951 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
952
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000953 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
954 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
955 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
956 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
957 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
958 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
959 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
960 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
961 These will be added as the standards mature.
962 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
963 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
964 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000965
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000966 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
967 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
968 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
969 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
970 enabling with --enable-ra.
971
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000972 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
973 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
974 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
975 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000976

981
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000982version 2.59
983 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
984 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
985 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
986 report.
987
988 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
989 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
990 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
991 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
992 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
993 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
994 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
995 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
996 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100997
998
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100999version 2.58
1000 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1001 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1002
1003 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1004 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1005 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1006
1007 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1008 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1009 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1010 server-deployment applications need this.
1011
1012 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1013 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1014 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1015 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1016 in chasing this one down.
1017
1018 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1019 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1020 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1021 the problem.
1022
1023 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1024 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1025 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1026 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1027 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1028 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1029
1030 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1031 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1032 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1033 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1034 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1035 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1036 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1037 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1038
1039 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1040 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1041
1042 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1043 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1044 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1045 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1046
1047 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1048 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1049
1050 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1051 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1052 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1053 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1054 Agrawal for the patch.
1055
1056 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1057 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1058 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1059 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1060 per-network values. So
1061 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1062 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1063 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1064 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1065 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1066 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1067
1068 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1069 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1070 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1071 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1072 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1073 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1074 a comprehensive test-case.
1075
1076 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1077 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001078 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001079
1080 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1081 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1082 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1083 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001091version 2.57
1092 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1093
1094 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1095 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1096 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1097 effectively empty on Android.
1098
1099 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1100 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1101 wildcard.
1102
1103 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1104 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1105 spotting this.
1106
1107 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1108 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1109 when i18n is included.
1110 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1111
1112 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1113 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1114 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1115
1116
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001117version 2.56
1118 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1119 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1120
1121 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1122 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1123 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1124 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1125
1126 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1127 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1128
1129 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1130 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1131 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1132
1133 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1134 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1135 syslogd.
1136
1137 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1138 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1139 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1140
1141 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1142 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1143 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1144
1145 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1146 option, on the command line.
1147
1148 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1149 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1150
1151 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1152 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1153 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1154 to John Hallam for the patch.
1155
1156 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1157 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1158 character chunks instead.
1159
1160 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1161 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1162 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1163 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1164
1165 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1166 transfer has completed succesfully.
1167
1168 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1169 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1170 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1171 which automatically creates
1172 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1173 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1174
1175 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1176 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1177
1178 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1179 thanks for that.
1180
1181 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1182 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1183 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1184 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1185 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1186 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1187 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1188 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1189 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1190
1191 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1192 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1193 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1194 set.
1195
1196 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1197 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1198
1199 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1200 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1201 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1202
1203 Edit
1204 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1205 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1206 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1207
1208 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1209 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1210 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1211 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1212 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1213 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1214 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1215 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1216 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1217 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1218 So:
1219 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1220 --server=/google.com/#
1221 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1222 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1223 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1224 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1225 William for pointing out the need for this.
1226
1227 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1228 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1229 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1230
1231 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1232 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1233 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1234 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1235
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001236 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
1237 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks
1238 to Fedor Kozhevnikov for spotting this.

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001242 Fix crash when /etc/ethers is in use. Thanks to
1243 Gianluigi Tiesi for finding this.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001244
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001245 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
1246 finding this one.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001247
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001248 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)
1249 options.

1252version 2.54
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001253 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
1254 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.

1256
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001257version 2.53
1258 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1259 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1260
1261 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1262 generated by gcc 4.4.
1263
1264 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1265 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1266
1267 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1268 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1269 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1270
1271 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1272 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1273 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1274 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1275 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1276 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1277 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1278 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1279 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1280 much less confusing.
1281
1282 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1283 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1284 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1285
1286 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1287
1288 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1289
1290 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1291 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1292 finding this.
1293
1294 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1295 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1296 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1297 from the client.
1298
1299 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1300 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1301 finding this.
1302
1303 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1304 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1305 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1306 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1307 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1308 server-override option.
1309
1310 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1311 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1312 allows a single line of the form
1313 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1314 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1315 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1316 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1317 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1318 interface=<interface>
1319 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1320 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1321 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1322 configuration.
1323
1324 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1325
1326 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1327 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1328
1329 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1330 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1331 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1332 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1333
1334 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1335 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1336 file, not the process/descriptor.
1337
1338 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1339 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1340
1341 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1342 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1343 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1344 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1345 this and testing the fix.
1346
1347 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1348 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1349 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1350
1351 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1352 upstream servers: this allows something like
1353 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1354 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1355 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1356 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1357
1358 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1359 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1360 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1361 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1362 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1363 work on this.
1364
1365 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1366 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1367 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1368 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1369 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1370 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1371 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1372
1373 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1374
1375 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1376 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1377 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1378 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1379 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1380 here.
1381
1382 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1383
1384 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1385 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1386
1387 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1388 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1389 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1390 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1391 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1392
1393 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1394 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1395
1396 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1397 is set.
1398
1399 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1400 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1401
1402 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1403
1404 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1405
1406 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1407
1408 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1409
1410 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1411 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1412 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1413
1414 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1415
1416
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001417version 2.52
1418 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1419 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1420 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1421 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1422 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1423 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1424 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1425 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1426
1427 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1428 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1429 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1430 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1431
1432 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1433 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1434 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1435 when dnsmasq is first started.
1436
1437 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1438 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1439 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1440 with certain clients.
1441
1442 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1443 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1444 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1445
1446 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1447 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1448 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1449 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1450 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1451 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1452 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1453 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1454 numbers delimited by dots.
1455
1456 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1457 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1458
1459 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1460 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1461
1462 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1463 contrib/Solaris10.
1464
1465 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1466 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1467 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1468 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1469 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1470 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1471 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1472
1473 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1474 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1475 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1476 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1477
1478 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1479 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1480 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1481
1482 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1483 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1484 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1485
1486 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1487 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1488 looks like this:
1489 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1490
1491 Add some application specific code to assist in
1492 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1493 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1494
1495 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1496 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1497 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1498 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1499
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001500 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001501 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1502
1503 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1504 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1505 this.
1506
1507 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1508 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1509 providing this.
1510
1511 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1512 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1513
1514 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1515
1516 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1517
1518 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1519
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001520 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1521 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1522 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1523 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001524
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001525
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001526version 2.51
1527 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1528 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1529 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1530 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1531 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1532 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1533 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1534 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1535 suggestion.
1536
1537 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1538 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1539 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1540 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1541 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1542 a DHCP relay, if used.
1543 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1544
1545 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1546 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1547
1548 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1549 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1550 dhcp-option-force.
1551
1552 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1553 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1554 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1555
1556 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1557 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1558 the patch.
1559
1560 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1561
1562 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1563 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1564
1565 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1566 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1567 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1568 suggestion.
1569
1570 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1571 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1572 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1573 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1574 dhcp-optsfile.
1575
1576 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1577 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1578 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1579 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1580 suggestion.
1581
1582 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1583 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1584 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1585 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1586 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1587
1588 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1589 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1590 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1591 fragmented packets.
1592
1593 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1594 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1595
1596 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001600 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001601 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1602 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1603 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1604 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1605 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1606 and CVE: 2009-2957
1607
1608 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1609 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1610 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1611 CVE: 2009-2958
1612
1613
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001614version 2.49
1615 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1616 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1617
1618 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1619 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1620 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1621 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1622
1623 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001626version 2.48
1627 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1628 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1629 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001630
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001631 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1632 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1633 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001634
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001635 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1636 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1637 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001638
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001639 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1640 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1641 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1642 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001643
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001644 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1645 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001646
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001647 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1648 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1649 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1650 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001651
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001652 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1653 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1654 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001655
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001656 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1657 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1658 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001659
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001660 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001661
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001662 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1663 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1664 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1665 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1666 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1667 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1668 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1669 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1670 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001671
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001672 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1673 useful suggestions.
1674
1675 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1676 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1677 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1678
1679 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1680 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001681
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001682 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001683
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001684
1685version 2.47
1686 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1687
1688 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1689 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1690
1691 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1692 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1693 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1694
1695 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1696 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1697 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1698 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1699 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1700 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1701 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1702 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1703 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1704 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1705 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1706 Krafft for the bug report.
1707
1708 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1709
1710 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1711 Fix for this bug:
1712 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1713
1714 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1715 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1716 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1717 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1718
1719 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1720 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1721
1722 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1723
1724 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1725 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1726 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1727 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1728 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1729
1730 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1731 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1732
1733 No longer complain about blank lines in
1734 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1735
1736 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1737 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1738 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1739 for the bug report.
1740
1741 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1742 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1743 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1744 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1745
1746 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1747 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1748 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1749 as before.
1750 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1751 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1752 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1753
1754 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1755 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1756 Windows even when using supernetting.
1757 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1758 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1759 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1760 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1761
1762 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1763
1764 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1765 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1766 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1767 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1768 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1769 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1770 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001771
1772
1773version 2.46
1774 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1775 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1776 suggestion.
1777
1778 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1779 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1780 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1781 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1782 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1783
1784 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1785 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1786 based in their IP address.
1787
1788 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1789 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1790 a domain associated with each client, and only
1791 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1792 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1793 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1794 long as they are in different domains.
1795
1796 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1797 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1798 have now that it's variable.
1799
1800 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1801 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1802 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1803 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1804 potential.
1805
1806 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1807 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1808 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1809
1810 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1811 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1812
1813 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1814 which the DHCP request was received.
1815
1816 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1817 Laine for the patch.
1818
1819 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1820 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1821
1822 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1823 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1824 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1825 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1826 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1827 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1828 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1829 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1830 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1831 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1832 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1833
1834 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1835 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1836 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1837 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1838 improvement.
1839
1840 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1841 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1842 suggestions on this.
1843
1844 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1845 Fisher.
1846
1847 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1848
1849 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1850 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1851
1852 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1853
1854 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1855 up" event occurs.
1856
1857
1858version 2.45
1859 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1860 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1861 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1862 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1863
1864
1865version 2.44
1866 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1867 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1868 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1869
1870 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1871 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1872 never been reported in the wild.
1873
1874 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1875 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1876
1877 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1878 is large.
1879
1880 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1881 David Gilman.
1882
1883 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1884
1885
1886version 2.43
1887 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1888
1889 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1890 illegally.
1891
1892 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1893
1894 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1895 format.
1896
1897 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1898 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1899 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1900 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1901 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1902
1903 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1904 Rack for the bug report.
1905
1906 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1907 Bergquist.
1908
1909 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1910 option.
1911
1912 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1913 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1914
1915 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1916 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1917
1918 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1919 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1920 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1921 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1922 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1923 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1924 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1925 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1926 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1927 suggestions.
1928
1929 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1930 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1931 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1932
1933 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1934 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1935 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1936 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1937 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1938 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1939 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1940 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1941 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1942 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1943
1944 Replace the random number generator, for better
1945 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1946 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1947 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1948 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1949 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1950 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1951
1952 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1953 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1954 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1955 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1956 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1957
1958 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
