Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +01001version 2.67
2 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
3 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
4 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +01005
6 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
7 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
8 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
9 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
10 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
11 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
12 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
13 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +010014
15 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
16 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
17 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +010018
19 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
20 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +010021
22 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
23 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +010024
25 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
26 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
27 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
28 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
29 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
30 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
31 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
32 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010033
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +010034 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
35 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
36 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
37 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
38 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010039
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +010040 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
41 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
42
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +010043 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
44 spurious error when all seven possible items were
45 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +010046
47 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
48 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
49
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +010050 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
51 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
52
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +010053 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
54 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
55 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
56 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
57 report.
58
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +010059 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
60 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
61 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
62
63
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +000064version 2.66
65 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
66 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
67 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
68 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
69 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
70 servers to be configured.
71
72 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
73 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
74 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
75 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
76 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
77 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
78 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
79 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +000080
81 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +000082 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
83 patch.
84
85 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
86 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
87 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
88 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
89 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
90 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
91 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +000092
93 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
94 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
95 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +000096
97 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
98 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +000099 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000100 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
101 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
102 bounty for this addition.
103
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000104 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
105 information-requests with some common configurations.
106 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
107 chasing the problem.
108
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000109 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
110 patch.
111
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000112 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000113 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000114
115 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
116 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000117
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100118 Handle the situation where libc headers define
119 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
120 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
121 Felker for the bug report.
122
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100123 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100124
125 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
126 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
127 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100128
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100129 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
130
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000131
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000132version 2.65
133 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
134 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
135 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
136
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000137 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
138 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000139
140 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000141
142
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100143version 2.64
144 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
145 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
146 spotting the problem.
147
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100148 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
149 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
150 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
151 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
152 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
153 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
154
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100155 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
156 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
157
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100158 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
159 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
160
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100161 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
162 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
163
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000164 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100165 Williams for the patch.
166
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000167 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
168 Roy Marples for the patch.
169
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100170 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
171 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100172
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100173 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
174 for the patch.
175
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100176 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
177 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
178 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
179
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100180 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
181 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
182 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
183 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
184
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100185 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
186 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
187 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
188
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100189 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
190 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
191 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
192
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000193 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
194 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
195 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000196
197 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
198 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000199
200 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
201 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
202 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000203
204 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
205 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
206 without setting source address and interface, since this
207 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
208 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
209
210 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
211 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100212
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000213
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100214version 2.63
215 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
216
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100217 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
218 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
219
220 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
221 stuff is pointless without that.
222
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100223 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
224 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
225 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100226
227 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
228 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100229
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100230 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
231 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
232 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
233 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
234 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
235 superceded by other mechanisms.
236
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100237 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
238 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
239
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100240 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
241 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
242
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100243 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100244
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100245 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
246 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
247 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
248 the suggestion.
249
250 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
251 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
252 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100253
254 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100255
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100256 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
257 which overrides the default,
258 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
259 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
260
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100261 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
262 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
263
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100264
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100265version 2.62
266 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
267
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100268 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
269 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
270
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100271 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
272 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
273 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
274
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100275 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
276 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
277 for spotting this.
278
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100279 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
280 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
281 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
282
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100283 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
284
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100285 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
286 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
287 his help nailing this.
288
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000289version 2.61
290 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
291 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
292 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
293 addresses.
294
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100295 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
296 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
297 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
298 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
299 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
300 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000301
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000302 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
303
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000304 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
305 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
306 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100307 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000308 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000309
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000310 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
311 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
312 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
313
314 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
315
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000316 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
317 suggestion.
318
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000319 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
320 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
321 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
322 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
323 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
324 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
325 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
326 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
327 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
328 Gadgil.
329
330 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
331 the above.
332
333 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
334 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000335 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
336 Forkel.
337
338 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
339 work even if there is no interface carrying the
340 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
341 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
342 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
343 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
344 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000345
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000346 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
347 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
348 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
349
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100350 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
351 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
352 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
353 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
354 for existing connections, but new connections will use
355 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
356 renumbering at least possible.

358 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100368 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
369 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
370 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.

372 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100373 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100374 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
375 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
376 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100377 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

387 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
388 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100389 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina

397 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
398 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100399
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000400 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
401 which is not the primary address of an interface.
402
403 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
404
405 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
406 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
407 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
408 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
409 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
410 implementation.
411
412 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
413 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
414 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
415 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
416 set them from the make command line.
417
418 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
419 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
420
421 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
422 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
423
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000424 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
425 release tags or hash values.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000427 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
428 containing many distinct addresses.
429
430 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
431 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
432 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
433 this.
434
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000435 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
436 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
437
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000438 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
439 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
440 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
441 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
442
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000443 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
444 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
445 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
446 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000447 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000448 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
449
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000450 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
451 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
452 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
453 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
454 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
455 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
456 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
457 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
458 These will be added as the standards mature.
459 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
460 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
461 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000462
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000463 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
464 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
465 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
466 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
467 enabling with --enable-ra.
468
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000469 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
470 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
471 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
472 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000473
474 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000475
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000476 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
477
478
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000479version 2.59
480 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
481 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
482 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
483 report.
484
485 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
486 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
487 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
488 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
489 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
490 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
491 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
492 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
493 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100494
495
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100496version 2.58
497 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
498 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
499
500 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
501 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
502 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
503
504 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
505 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
506 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
507 server-deployment applications need this.
508
509 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
510 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
511 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
512 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
513 in chasing this one down.
514
515 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
516 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
517 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
518 the problem.
519
520 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
521 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
522 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
523 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
524 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
525 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
526
527 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
528 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
529 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
530 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
531 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
532 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
533 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
534 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
535
536 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
537 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
538
539 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
540 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
541 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
542 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
543
544 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
545 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
546
547 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
548 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
549 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
550 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
551 Agrawal for the patch.
552
553 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
554 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
555 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
556 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
557 per-network values. So
558 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
559 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
560 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
561 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
562 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
563 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
564
565 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
566 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
567 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
568 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
569 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
570 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
571 a comprehensive test-case.
572
573 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
574 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100575 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100576
577 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
578 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
579 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
580 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
581 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
582
583 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
584
585 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
586
587
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000588version 2.57
589 Add patches to allow build under Android.
590
591 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
592 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
593 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
594 effectively empty on Android.
595
596 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
597 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
598 wildcard.
599
600 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
601 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
602 spotting this.
603
604 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
605 IDN support continues to be included automatically
606 when i18n is included.
607 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
608
609 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
610 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
611 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
612
613
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000614version 2.56
615 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
616 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
617
618 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
619 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
620 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
621 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
622
623 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
624 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
625
626 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
627 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
628 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
629
630 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
631 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
632 syslogd.
633
634 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
635 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
636 Petrin for the orignal patch.
637
638 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
639 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
640 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
641
642 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
643 option, on the command line.
644
645 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
646 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
647
648 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
649 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
650 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
651 to John Hallam for the patch.
652
653 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
654 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
655 character chunks instead.
656
657 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
658 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
659 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
660 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
661
662 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
663 transfer has completed succesfully.
664
665 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
666 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
667 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
668 which automatically creates
669 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
670 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
671
672 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
673 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
674
675 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
676 thanks for that.
677
678 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
679 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
680 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
681 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
682 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
683 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
684 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
685 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
686 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
687
688 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
689 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
690 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
691 set.
692
693 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
694 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
695
696 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
697 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
698 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
699
700 Edit
701 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
702 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
703 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
704
705 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
706 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
707 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
708 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
709 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
710 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
711 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
712 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
713 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
714 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
715 So:
716 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
717 --server=/google.com/#
718 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
719 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
720 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
721 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
722 William for pointing out the need for this.
723
724 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
725 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
726 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
727
728 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
729 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
730 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
731 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
732
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000733 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

755 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
756 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
757
758 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
759 generated by gcc 4.4.
760
761 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
762 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
763
764 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
765 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
766 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
767
768 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
769 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
770 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
771 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
772 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
773 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
774 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
775 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
776 the documentation and new-style config files should be
777 much less confusing.
778
779 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
780 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
781 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
782
783 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
784
785 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
786
787 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
788 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
789 finding this.
790
791 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
792 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
793 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
794 from the client.
795
796 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
797 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
798 finding this.
799
800 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
801 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
802 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
803 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
804 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
805 server-override option.
806
807 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
808 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
809 allows a single line of the form
810 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
811 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
812 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
813 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
814 irrespective of the existance or lack of
815 interface=<interface>
816 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
817 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
818 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
819 configuration.
820
821 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
822
823 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
824 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
825
826 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
827 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
828 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
829 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
830
831 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
832 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
833 file, not the process/descriptor.
834
835 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
836 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
837
838 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
839 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
840 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
841 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
842 this and testing the fix.
843
844 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
845 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
846 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
847
848 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
849 upstream servers: this allows something like
850 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
851 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
852 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
853 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
854
855 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
856 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
857 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
858 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
859 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
860 work on this.
861
862 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
863 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
864 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
865 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
866 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
867 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
868 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
869
870 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
871
872 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
873 than one server available for a domain, eg.
874 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
875 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
876 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
877 here.
878
879 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
880
881 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
882 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
883
884 Fix regression which caused configuration like
885 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
886 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
887 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
888 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
889
890 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
891 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
892
893 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
894 is set.
895
896 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
897 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
898
899 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
900
901 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
902
903 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
904
905 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
906
907 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
908 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
909 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
910
911 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
912
913
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000914version 2.52
915 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
916 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
917 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
918 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
919 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
920 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
921 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
922 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
923
924 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
925 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
926 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
927 necessary for some *WRT distros.
928
929 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
930 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
931 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
932 when dnsmasq is first started.
933
934 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
935 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
936 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
937 with certain clients.
938
939 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
940 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
941 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
942
943 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
944 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
945 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
946 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
947 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
948 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
949 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
950 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
951 numbers delimited by dots.
952
953 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
954 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
955
956 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
957 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
958
959 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
960 contrib/Solaris10.
961
962 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
963 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
964 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
965 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
966 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
967 addresses available in such an installation removes a
968 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
969
970 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
971 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
972 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
973 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
974
975 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
976 the lease-change script in the environment variable
977 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
978
979 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
980 Options". The syntax looks like this:
981 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
982
983 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
984 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
985 looks like this:
986 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
987
988 Add some application specific code to assist in
989 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
990 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
991
992 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
993 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
994 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
995 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
996
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100997 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000998 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
999
1000 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1001 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1002 this.
1003
1004 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1005 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1006 providing this.
1007
1008 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1009 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1010
1011 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1012
1013 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1014
1015 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1016
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001017 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1018 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1019 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1020 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001021
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001022
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001023version 2.51
1024 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1025 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1026 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1027 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1028 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1029 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1030 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1031 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1032 suggestion.
1033
1034 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1035 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1036 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1037 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1038 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1039 a DHCP relay, if used.
1040 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1041
1042 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1043 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1044
1045 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1046 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1047 dhcp-option-force.
1048
1049 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1050 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1051 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1052
1053 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1054 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1055 the patch.
1056
1057 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1058
1059 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1060 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1061
1062 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1063 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1064 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1065 suggestion.
1066
1067 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1068 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1069 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1070 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1071 dhcp-optsfile.
1072
1073 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1074 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1075 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1076 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1077 suggestion.
1078
1079 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1080 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1081 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1082 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1083 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1084
1085 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1086 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1087 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1088 fragmented packets.
1089
1090 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1091 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1092
1093 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001097 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001098 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1099 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1100 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1101 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1102 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1103 and CVE: 2009-2957
1104
1105 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1106 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1107 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1108 CVE: 2009-2958

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001111version 2.49
1112 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1113 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1114
1115 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1116 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1117 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1118 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1119
1120 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1122
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001123version 2.48
1124 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1125 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1126 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001127
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001128 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1129 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1130 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001131
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001132 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1133 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1134 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001135
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001136 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1137 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1138 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1139 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001140
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001141 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1142 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001143
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001144 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1145 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1146 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1147 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001148
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001149 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1150 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1151 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001152
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001153 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1154 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1155 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001156
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001157 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001158
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001159 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1160 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1161 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1162 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1163 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1164 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1165 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1166 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1167 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001168
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001169 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1170 useful suggestions.
1171
1172 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1173 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1174 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1175
1176 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1177 configuration files only.

1183 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1184
1185 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1186 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1187
1188 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1189 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1190 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1191
1192 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1193 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1194 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1195 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1196 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1197 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1198 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1199 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1200 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1201 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1202 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1203 Krafft for the bug report.
1204
1205 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1206
1207 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1208 Fix for this bug:
1209 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1210
1211 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1212 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1213 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1214 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1215
1216 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1217 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1218
1219 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1220
1221 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1222 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1223 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1224 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1225 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1226
1227 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1228 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1229
1230 No longer complain about blank lines in
1231 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1232
1233 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1234 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1235 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1236 for the bug report.
1237
1238 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1239 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1240 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1241 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1242
1243 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1244 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1245 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1246 as before.
1247 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1248 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1249 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.

1251 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1252 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1253 Windows even when using supernetting.
1254 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1255 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1256 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1257 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1258
1259 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1260
1261 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1262 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1263 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1264 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1265 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1266 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1267 dnsmasq.

1271 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1272 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1273 suggestion.
1274
1275 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1276 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1277 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1278 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1279 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1280
1281 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1282 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1283 based in their IP address.
1284
1285 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1286 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1287 a domain associated with each client, and only
1288 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1289 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1290 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1291 long as they are in different domains.
1292
1293 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1294 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1295 have now that it's variable.
1296
1297 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1298 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1299 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1300 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1301 potential.
1302
1303 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1304 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1305 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1306
1307 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1308 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1309
1310 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1311 which the DHCP request was received.
1312
1313 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1314 Laine for the patch.
1315
1316 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1317 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1318
1319 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1320 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1321 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1322 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1323 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1324 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1325 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1326 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1327 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1328 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1329 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1330
1331 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1332 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1333 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1334 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1335 improvement.
1336
1337 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1338 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1339 suggestions on this.
1340
1341 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1342 Fisher.
1343
1344 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1345
1346 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1347 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1348
1349 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1350
1351 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1352 up" event occurs.
1353
1354
1355version 2.45
1356 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1357 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1358 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1359 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1360
1361
1362version 2.44
1363 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1364 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1365 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1366
1367 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1368 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1369 never been reported in the wild.
1370
1371 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1372 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1373
1374 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1375 is large.
1376
1377 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1378 David Gilman.
1379
1380 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.

1386 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1387 illegally.
1388
1389 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1390
1391 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1392 format.
1393
1394 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1395 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1396 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1397 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1398 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1399
1400 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1401 Rack for the bug report.
1402
1403 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1404 Bergquist.
1405
1406 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1407 option.
1408
1409 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1410 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1411
1412 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1413 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1414
1415 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1416 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1417 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1418 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1419 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1420 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1421 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1422 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1423 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1424 suggestions.
1425
1426 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1427 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1428 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1429
1430 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1431 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1432 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1433 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1434 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1435 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1436 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1437 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1438 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1439 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1440
1441 Replace the random number generator, for better
1442 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1443 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1444 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1445 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1446 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1447 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1448
1449 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1450 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1451 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1452 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1453 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1454
1455 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
