Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001version 2.60
2 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
3 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01004
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00005 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
6 which is not the primary address of an interface.
7
8 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
9
10 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
11 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
12 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
13 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
14 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
15 implementation.
16
17 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
18 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
19 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
20 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
21 set them from the make command line.
22
23 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
24 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
25
26 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
27 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
28
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +000029 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
30 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +000031
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +000032 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
33 containing many distinct addresses.
34
35 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
36 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
37 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
38 this.
39
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +000040
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +000041version 2.59
42 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
43 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
44 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
45 report.
46
47 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
48 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
49 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
50 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
51 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
52 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
53 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
54 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
55 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +010056
57
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +010058version 2.58
59 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
60 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
61
62 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
63 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
64 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
65
66 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
67 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
68 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
69 server-deployment applications need this.
70
71 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
72 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
73 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
74 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
75 in chasing this one down.
76
77 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
78 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
79 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
80 the problem.
81
82 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
83 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
84 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
85 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
86 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
87 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
88
89 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
90 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
91 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
92 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
93 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
94 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
95 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
96 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
97
98 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
99 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
100
101 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
102 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
103 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
104 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
105
106 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
107 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
108
109 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
110 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
111 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
112 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
113 Agrawal for the patch.
114
115 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
116 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
117 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
118 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
119 per-network values. So
120 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
121 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
122 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
123 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
124 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
125 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
126
127 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
128 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
129 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
130 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
131 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
132 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
133 a comprehensive test-case.
134
135 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
136 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
137 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
138
139 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
140 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
141 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
142 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
143 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
144
145 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
146
147 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
148
149
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000150version 2.57
151 Add patches to allow build under Android.
152
153 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
154 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
155 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
156 effectively empty on Android.
157
158 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
159 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
160 wildcard.
161
162 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
163 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
164 spotting this.
165
166 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
167 IDN support continues to be included automatically
168 when i18n is included.
169 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
170
171 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
172 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
173 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
174
175
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000176version 2.56
177 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
178 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
179
180 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
181 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
182 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
183 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
184
185 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
186 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
187
188 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
189 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
190 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
191
192 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
193 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
194 syslogd.
195
196 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
197 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
198 Petrin for the orignal patch.
199
200 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
201 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
202 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
203
204 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
205 option, on the command line.
206
207 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
208 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
209
210 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
211 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
212 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
213 to John Hallam for the patch.
214
215 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
216 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
217 character chunks instead.
218
219 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
220 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
221 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
222 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
223
224 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
225 transfer has completed succesfully.
226
227 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
228 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
229 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
230 which automatically creates
231 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
232 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
233
234 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
235 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
236
237 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
238 thanks for that.
239
240 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
241 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
242 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
243 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
244 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
245 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
246 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
247 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
248 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
249
250 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
251 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
252 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
253 set.
254
255 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
256 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
257
258 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
259 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
260 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
261
262 Edit
263 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
264 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
265 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
266
267 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
268 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
269 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
270 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
271 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
272 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
273 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
274 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
275 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
276 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
277 So:
278 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
279 --server=/google.com/#
280 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
281 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
282 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
283 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
284 William for pointing out the need for this.
285
286 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
287 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
288 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
289
290 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
291 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
292 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
293 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
294
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000295 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
296 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks
297 to Fedor Kozhevnikov for spotting this.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000298
299
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100300version 2.55
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000301 Fix crash when /etc/ethers is in use. Thanks to
302 Gianluigi Tiesi for finding this.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100303
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000304 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
305 finding this one.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100306
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000307 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)
308 options.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100309
310
311version 2.54
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000312 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
313 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100314
315
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100316version 2.53
317 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
318 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
319
320 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
321 generated by gcc 4.4.
322
323 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
324 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
325
326 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
327 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
328 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
329
330 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
331 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
332 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
333 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
334 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
335 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
336 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
337 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
338 the documentation and new-style config files should be
339 much less confusing.
340
341 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
342 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
343 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
344
345 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
346
347 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
348
349 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
350 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
351 finding this.
352
353 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
354 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
355 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
356 from the client.
357
358 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
359 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
360 finding this.
361
362 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
363 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
364 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
365 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
366 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
367 server-override option.
368
369 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
370 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
371 allows a single line of the form
372 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
373 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
374 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
375 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
376 irrespective of the existance or lack of
377 interface=<interface>
378 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
379 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
380 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
381 configuration.
382
383 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
384
385 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
386 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
387
388 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
389 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
390 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
391 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
392
393 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
394 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
395 file, not the process/descriptor.
396
397 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
398 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
399
400 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
401 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
402 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
403 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
404 this and testing the fix.
405
406 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
407 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
408 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
409
410 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
411 upstream servers: this allows something like
412 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
413 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
414 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
415 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
416
417 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
418 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
419 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
420 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
421 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
422 work on this.
423
424 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
425 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
426 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
427 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
428 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
429 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
430 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
431
432 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
433
434 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
435 than one server available for a domain, eg.
436 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
437 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
438 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
439 here.
440
441 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
442
443 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
444 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
445
446 Fix regression which caused configuration like
447 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
448 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
449 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
450 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
451
452 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
453 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
454
455 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
456 is set.
457
458 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
459 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
460
461 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
462
463 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
464
465 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
466
467 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
468
469 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
470 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
471 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
472
473 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
474
475
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000476version 2.52
477 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
478 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
479 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
480 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
481 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
482 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
483 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
484 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
485
486 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
487 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
488 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
489 necessary for some *WRT distros.
490
491 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
492 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
493 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
494 when dnsmasq is first started.
495
496 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
497 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
498 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
499 with certain clients.
500
501 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
502 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
503 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
504
505 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
506 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
507 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
508 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
509 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
510 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
511 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
512 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
513 numbers delimited by dots.
514
515 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
516 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
517
518 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
519 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
520
521 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
522 contrib/Solaris10.
523
524 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
525 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
526 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
527 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
528 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
529 addresses available in such an installation removes a
530 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
531
532 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
533 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
534 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
535 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
536
537 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
538 the lease-change script in the environment variable
539 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
540
541 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
542 Options". The syntax looks like this:
543 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
544
545 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
546 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
547 looks like this:
548 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
549
550 Add some application specific code to assist in
551 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
552 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
553
554 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
555 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
556 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
557 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
558
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100559 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000560 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
561
562 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
563 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
564 this.
565
566 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
567 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
568 providing this.
569
570 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
571 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
572
573 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
574
575 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
576
577 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
578
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100579 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
580 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
581 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
582 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000583
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100584
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100585version 2.51
586 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
587 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
588 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
589 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
590 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
591 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
592 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
593 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
594 suggestion.
595
596 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
597 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
598 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
599 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
600 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
601 a DHCP relay, if used.
602 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
603
604 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
605 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
606
607 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
608 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
609 dhcp-option-force.
610
611 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
612 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
613 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
614
615 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
616 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
617 the patch.
618
619 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
620
621 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
622 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
623
624 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
625 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
626 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
627 suggestion.
628
629 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
630 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
631 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
632 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
633 dhcp-optsfile.
634
635 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
636 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
637 is retried. This should improve performance when there
638 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
639 suggestion.
640
641 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
642 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
643 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
644 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
645 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
646
647 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
648 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
649 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
650 fragmented packets.
651
652 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
653 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
654
655 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100659 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +0100660 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
661 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
662 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
663 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
664 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
665 and CVE: 2009-2957
666
667 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
668 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
669 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
670 CVE: 2009-2958
671
672
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +0100673version 2.49
674 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
675 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
676
677 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
678 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
679 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
680 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
681
682 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100685version 2.48
686 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
687 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
688 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000689
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100690 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
691 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
692 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000693
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100694 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
695 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
696 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000697
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100698 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
699 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
700 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
701 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000702
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100703 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
704 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000705
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100706 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
707 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
708 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
709 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000710
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100711 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
712 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
713 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000714
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100715 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
716 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
717 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000718
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100719 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000720
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100721 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
722 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
723 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
724 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
725 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
726 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
727 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
728 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
729 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000730
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100731 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
732 useful suggestions.
733
734 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
735 this, edit src/config.h or build with
736 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
737
738 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
739 configuration files only.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +0000743
744version 2.47
745 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
746
747 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
748 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
749
750 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
751 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
752 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
753
754 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
755 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
756 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
757 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
758 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
759 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
760 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
761 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
762 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
763 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
764 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
765 Krafft for the bug report.
766
767 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
768
769 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
770 Fix for this bug:
771 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
772
773 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
774 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
775 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
776 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
777
778 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
779 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
780
781 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
782
783 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
784 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
785 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
786 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
787 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
788
789 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
790 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
791
792 No longer complain about blank lines in
793 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
794
795 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
796 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
797 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
798 for the bug report.
799
800 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
801 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
802 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
803 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
804
805 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
806 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
807 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
808 as before.
809 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
810 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
811 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
812
813 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
814 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
815 Windows even when using supernetting.
816 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
817 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
818 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
819 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
820
821 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
822
823 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
824 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
825 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
826 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
827 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
828 directory owned and write-able by the user running
829 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100830
831
832version 2.46
833 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
834 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
835 suggestion.
836
837 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
838 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
839 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
840 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
841 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
842
843 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
844 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
845 based in their IP address.
846
847 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
848 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
849 a domain associated with each client, and only
850 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
851 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
852 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
853 long as they are in different domains.
854
855 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
856 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
857 have now that it's variable.
858
859 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
860 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
861 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
862 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
863 potential.
864
865 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
866 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
867 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
868
869 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
870 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
871
872 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
873 which the DHCP request was received.
874
875 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
876 Laine for the patch.
877
878 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
879 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
880
881 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
882 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
883 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
884 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
885 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
886 address to a host which has two network interfaces
887 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
888 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
889 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
890 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
891 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
892
893 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
894 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
895 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
896 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
897 improvement.
898
899 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
900 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
901 suggestions on this.
902
903 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
904 Fisher.
905
906 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
907
908 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
909 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
910
911 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
912
913 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
914 up" event occurs.
915
916
917version 2.45
918 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
919 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
920 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
921 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
922
923
924version 2.44
925 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
926 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
927 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
928
929 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
930 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
931 never been reported in the wild.
932
933 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
934 Jean Wolter for finding this.
935
936 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
937 is large.
938
939 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
940 David Gilman.
941
942 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.

945version 2.43
946 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
947
948 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
949 illegally.
950
951 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
952
953 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
954 format.
955
956 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
957 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
958 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
959 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
960 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
961
962 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
963 Rack for the bug report.
964
965 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
966 Bergquist.
967
968 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
969 option.
970
971 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
972 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
973
974 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
975 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
976
977 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
978 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
979 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
980 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
981 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
982 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
983 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
984 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
985 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
986 suggestions.
987
988 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
989 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
990 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
991
992 Implement random source ports for interactions with
993 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
994 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
995 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
996 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
997 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
998 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
999 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1000 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1001 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1002
1003 Replace the random number generator, for better
1004 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1005 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1006 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1007 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1008 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1009 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1010
1011 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1012 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1013 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1014 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1015 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1016
1017 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
