Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +01002 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
3
4 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
5 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +01006
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +01007 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
8 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
9 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +010010
11 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
12 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +010013
14 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
15 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +010016
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +010017 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
18 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
19 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
20 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
21 patch.
22
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +010023 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
24 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
25 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
26 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
27 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
28 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.

Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +010031version 2.71
32 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
33 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
34 non-existent DS records.
35
36 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
37 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
38 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
39 report.
40
41 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
42 for spotting that too.
43
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +010044 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
45 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
46 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
47
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +010048
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +010049version 2.70
50 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
51 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
52 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
53
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +010054 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
55 Wang Jian for the bug report.

Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +010057
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +000058version 2.69
59 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
60 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
61 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
62 valuable research on how to implement this.
63
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +000064 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +000065 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +000066
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +000067 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
68 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
69 for spotting the problem.
70
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +000071 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
72 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
73 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
74 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
75 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
76
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000077 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
78 compiled with this enabled, with
79
80 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
81
82 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
83 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
84 statically with
85
86 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
87
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +010088 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
89 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
90
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000091 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
92 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
93 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
94 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
95 distribution. You should of course check that these are
96 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
97
98 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
99 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000100
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000101 to your config is all thats needed to get things
102 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
103 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
104 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
105 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
106 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
107 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
108 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
109 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
110 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
111 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
112 records, which significantly improve the performance of
113 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
114 DNSSEC in action.
115
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100116 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
117 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
118 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
119 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
120 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
121 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
122 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
123 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
124 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
125 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
126 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
127 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
128 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
129 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
130 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
131 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
132
133 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
134 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
135 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
136 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
137 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
138 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
139 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
140 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
141 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
142 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
143 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
144 henceforward will be complete.
145
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000146 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
147 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
148 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
149 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
150 a workable state.
151
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000152 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000153
154 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
155 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000156
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000157 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
158 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
159 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000160 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000161 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
162 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
163 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
164 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
165
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000166 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
167 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
168 find this and helping to chase it down.
169
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100170 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
171 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
172 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
173
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100174 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
175 well as logging them.
176
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000177
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000178version 2.68
179 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
180 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
181 addresses.
182
183 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
184 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
185 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
186 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
187 restarted, this bug disappeared.
188
189 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
190 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
191
192 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
193
194 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
195 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
196 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
197 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
198 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
199 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
200 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
201 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
202 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
203 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
204 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
205 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
206 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000207
208 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
209 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
210 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
211 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000212
213 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
214 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
215
216 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
217 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000218
219 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
220 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
221 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
222 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
223 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000224
225 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
226 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
227 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
228 corresponding address on the local interface.
229
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000230
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100231version 2.67
232 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
233 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
234 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100235
236 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
237 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
238 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
239 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
240 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
241 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
242 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
243 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100244
245 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
246 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
247 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100248
249 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
250 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100251
252 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
253 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100254
255 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
256 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
257 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
258 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
259 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
260 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
261 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
262 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100263
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100264 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
265 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
266 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
267 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
268 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100269
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100270 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
271 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
272
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100273 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
274 spurious error when all seven possible items were
275 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100276
277 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
278 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
279
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100280 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
281 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
282
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100283 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
284 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
285 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
286 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
287 report.
288
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100289 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
290 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
291 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
292
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100293 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero
Simon Kelley3953dcc2013-07-03 20:40:45 +0100294 terminator. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the bug report.
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100295
Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100296 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
297 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
298
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100299 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
300 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
301 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
302 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
303
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100304 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
305 via DBus too.
306
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100307 When the address which triggered the construction of an
308 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
309 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
310 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
311 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
312 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
313 arguing for this.
314
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100315 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
316 for the bug report.

Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100318 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
319 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
320 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
321 for suggesting this.
322
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100323 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
324 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
325
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100326 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
327 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
328 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
329 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
330 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
331
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100332 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
333 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100334
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100335 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
336 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
337
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100338 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
339 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
340 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
341
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100342 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
343 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
344
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100345 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
346 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
347 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
348 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
349 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100350
351 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
352 address must be either the first or last address in the
353 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
354 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100355
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100356 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
357
Tanguy Bouzelocef1d7422013-10-03 11:06:31 +0100358 Fix problem in DHCPv6 vendorclass/userclass matching
359 code. Thanks to Tanguy Bouzeloc for the patch.
360
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100361 Update Spanish transalation. Thanks to Vicente Soriano.
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100362
Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100363 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
364 inspiration on this.
365
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100366 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100367 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100370 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
371 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
372
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100373 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
374 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
375 suggestion.
376
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100377 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
378 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
379 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
380 spotting the problem.
381
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100382 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
383 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000386version 2.66
387 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
388 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
389 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
390 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
391 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
392 servers to be configured.
393
394 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
395 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
396 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
397 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
398 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
399 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
400 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
401 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000402
403 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000404 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
405 patch.
406
407 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
408 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
409 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
410 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
411 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
412 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
413 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000414
415 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
416 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
417 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000418
419 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
420 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000421 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000422 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
423 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
424 bounty for this addition.
425
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000426 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
427 information-requests with some common configurations.
428 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
429 chasing the problem.
430
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000431 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
432 patch.
433
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000434 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000435 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000436
437 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
438 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000439
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100440 Handle the situation where libc headers define
441 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
442 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
443 Felker for the bug report.
444
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100445 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100446
447 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
448 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
449 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100450
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100451 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.

Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000453
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000454version 2.65
455 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
456 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
457 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
458
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000459 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
460 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000461
462 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000463
464
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100465version 2.64
466 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
467 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
468 spotting the problem.
469
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100470 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
471 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
472 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
473 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
474 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
475 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
476
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100477 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
478 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
479
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100480 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
481 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
482
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100483 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
484 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
485
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000486 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100487 Williams for the patch.
488
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000489 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
490 Roy Marples for the patch.
491
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100492 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
493 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100494
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100495 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
496 for the patch.
497
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100498 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
499 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
500 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
501
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100502 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
503 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
504 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
505 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
506
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100507 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
508 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
509 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
510
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100511 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
512 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
513 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
514
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000515 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
516 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
517 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000518
519 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
520 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000521
522 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
523 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
524 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000525
526 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
527 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
528 without setting source address and interface, since this
529 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
530 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
531
532 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
533 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100534

537 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
538
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100539 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
540 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
541
542 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
543 stuff is pointless without that.
544
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100545 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
546 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
547 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100548
549 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
550 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100551
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100552 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
553 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
554 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
555 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
556 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
557 superceded by other mechanisms.
558
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100559 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
560 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
561
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100562 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
563 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
564
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100565 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100566
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100567 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
568 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
569 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
570 the suggestion.
571
572 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
573 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
574 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100575
576 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100577
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100578 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
579 which overrides the default,
580 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
581 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
582
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100583 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
584 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.

Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100590 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
591 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
592
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100593 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
594 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
595 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
596
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100597 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
598 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
599 for spotting this.
600
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100601 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
602 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
603 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
604
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100605 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
606
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100607 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
608 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
609 his help nailing this.
610
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000611version 2.61
612 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
613 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
614 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
615 addresses.
616
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100617 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
618 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
619 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
620 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
621 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
622 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000623
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000624 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
625
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000626 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
627 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
628 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100629 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000630 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000631
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000632 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
633 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
634 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
635
636 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
637
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000638 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
639 suggestion.
640
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000641 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
642 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
643 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
644 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
645 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
646 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
647 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
648 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
649 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
650 Gadgil.
651
652 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
653 the above.
654
655 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
656 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000657 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
658 Forkel.
659
660 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
661 work even if there is no interface carrying the
662 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
663 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
664 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
665 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
666 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000667
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000668 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
669 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
670 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
671
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100672 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
673 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
674 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
675 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
676 for existing connections, but new connections will use
677 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
678 renumbering at least possible.
679
680 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100681 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

720 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100721
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000722 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
723 which is not the primary address of an interface.
724
725 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
726
727 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
728 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
729 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
730 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
731 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
732 implementation.
733
734 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
735 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
736 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
737 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
738 set them from the make command line.
739
740 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
741 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
742
743 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
744 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
745
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000746 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
747 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000748
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000749 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
750 containing many distinct addresses.
751
752 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
753 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
754 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
755 this.
756
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000757 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
758 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
759
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000760 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
761 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
762 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
763 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
764
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000765 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
766 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
767 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
768 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000769 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000770 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
771
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000772 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
773 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
774 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
775 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
776 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
777 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
778 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
779 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
780 These will be added as the standards mature.
781 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
782 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
783 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000784
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000785 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
786 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
787 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
788 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
789 enabling with --enable-ra.
790
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000791 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
792 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
793 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
794 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000795

799
800
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000801version 2.59
802 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
803 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
804 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
805 report.
806
807 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
808 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
809 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
810 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
811 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
812 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
813 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
814 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
815 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100816
817
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100818version 2.58
819 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
820 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
821
822 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
823 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
824 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
825
826 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
827 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
828 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
829 server-deployment applications need this.
830
831 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
832 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
833 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
834 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
835 in chasing this one down.
836
837 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
838 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
839 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
840 the problem.
841
842 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
843 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
844 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
845 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
846 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
847 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
848
849 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
850 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
851 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
852 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
853 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
854 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
855 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
856 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
857
858 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
859 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
860
861 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
862 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
863 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
864 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
865
866 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
867 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
868
869 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
870 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
871 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
872 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
873 Agrawal for the patch.
874
875 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
876 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
877 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
878 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
879 per-network values. So
880 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
881 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
882 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
883 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
884 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
885 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
886
887 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
888 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
889 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
890 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
891 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
892 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
893 a comprehensive test-case.
894
895 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
896 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100897 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100898
899 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
900 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
901 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
902 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
903 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

909
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000910version 2.57
911 Add patches to allow build under Android.
912
913 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
914 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
915 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
916 effectively empty on Android.
917
918 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
919 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
920 wildcard.
921
922 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
923 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
924 spotting this.
925
926 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
927 IDN support continues to be included automatically
928 when i18n is included.
929 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
930
931 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
932 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
933 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
934
935
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000936version 2.56
937 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
938 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
939
940 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
941 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
942 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
943 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
944
945 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
946 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
947
948 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
949 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
950 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
951
952 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
953 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
954 syslogd.
955
956 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
957 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
958 Petrin for the orignal patch.
959
960 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
961 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
962 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
963
964 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
965 option, on the command line.
966
967 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
968 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
969
970 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
971 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
972 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
973 to John Hallam for the patch.
974
975 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
976 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
977 character chunks instead.
978
979 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
980 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
981 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
982 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
983
984 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
985 transfer has completed succesfully.
986
987 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
988 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
989 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
990 which automatically creates
991 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
992 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
993
994 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
995 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
996
997 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
998 thanks for that.
999
1000 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1001 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1002 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1003 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1004 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1005 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1006 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1007 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1008 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1009
1010 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1011 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1012 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1013 set.
1014
1015 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1016 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1017
1018 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1019 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1020 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1021
1022 Edit
1023 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1024 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1025 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1026
1027 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1028 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1029 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1030 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1031 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1032 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1033 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1034 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1035 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1036 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1037 So:
1038 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1039 --server=/google.com/#
1040 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1041 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1042 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1043 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1044 William for pointing out the need for this.
1045
1046 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1047 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1048 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1049
1050 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1051 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1052 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1053 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1054
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001055 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1077 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1078 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1079
1080 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1081 generated by gcc 4.4.
1082
1083 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1084 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1085
1086 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1087 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1088 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1089
1090 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1091 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1092 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1093 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1094 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1095 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1096 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1097 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1098 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1099 much less confusing.
1100
1101 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1102 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1103 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1104
1105 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1106
1107 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1108
1109 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1110 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1111 finding this.
1112
1113 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1114 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1115 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1116 from the client.
1117
1118 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1119 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1120 finding this.
1121
1122 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1123 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1124 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1125 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1126 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1127 server-override option.
1128
1129 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1130 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1131 allows a single line of the form
1132 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1133 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1134 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1135 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1136 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1137 interface=<interface>
1138 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1139 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1140 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1141 configuration.
1142
1143 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1144
1145 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1146 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1147
1148 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1149 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1150 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1151 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1152
1153 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1154 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1155 file, not the process/descriptor.
1156
1157 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1158 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1159
1160 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1161 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1162 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1163 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1164 this and testing the fix.
1165
1166 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1167 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1168 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1169
1170 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1171 upstream servers: this allows something like
1172 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1173 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1174 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1175 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1176
1177 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1178 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1179 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1180 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1181 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1182 work on this.
1183
1184 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1185 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1186 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1187 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1188 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1189 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1190 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1191
1192 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1193
1194 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1195 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1196 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1197 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1198 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1199 here.
1200
1201 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1202
1203 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1204 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1205
1206 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1207 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1208 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1209 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1210 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1211
1212 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1213 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1214
1215 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1216 is set.
1217
1218 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1219 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1220
1221 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1222
1223 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1224
1225 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1226
1227 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1228
1229 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1230 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1231 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1232
1233 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1234
1235
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001236version 2.52
1237 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1238 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1239 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1240 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1241 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1242 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1243 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1244 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1245
1246 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1247 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1248 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1249 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1250
1251 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1252 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1253 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1254 when dnsmasq is first started.
1255
1256 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1257 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1258 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1259 with certain clients.
1260
1261 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1262 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1263 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1264
1265 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1266 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1267 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1268 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1269 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1270 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1271 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1272 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1273 numbers delimited by dots.
1274
1275 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1276 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1277
1278 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1279 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1280
1281 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1282 contrib/Solaris10.
1283
1284 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1285 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1286 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1287 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1288 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1289 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1290 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1291
1292 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1293 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1294 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1295 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1296
1297 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1298 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1299 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1300
1301 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1302 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1303 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1304
1305 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1306 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1307 looks like this:
1308 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1309
1310 Add some application specific code to assist in
1311 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1312 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1313
1314 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1315 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1316 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1317 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1318
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001319 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001320 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1321
1322 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1323 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1324 this.
1325
1326 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1327 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1328 providing this.
1329
1330 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1331 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1332
1333 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1334
1335 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1336
1337 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1338
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001339 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1340 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1341 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1342 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001343
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001344
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001345version 2.51
1346 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1347 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1348 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1349 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1350 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1351 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1352 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1353 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1354 suggestion.
1355
1356 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1357 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1358 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1359 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1360 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1361 a DHCP relay, if used.
1362 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1363
1364 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1365 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1366
1367 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1368 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1369 dhcp-option-force.
1370
1371 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1372 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1373 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1374
1375 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1376 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1377 the patch.
1378
1379 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1380
1381 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1382 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1383
1384 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1385 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1386 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1387 suggestion.
1388
1389 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1390 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1391 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1392 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1393 dhcp-optsfile.
1394
1395 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1396 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1397 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1398 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1399 suggestion.
1400
1401 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1402 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1403 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1404 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1405 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1406
1407 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1408 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1409 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1410 fragmented packets.
1411
1412 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1413 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1414
1415 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001419 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001420 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1421 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1422 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1423 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1424 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1425 and CVE: 2009-2957
1426
1427 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1428 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1429 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1430 CVE: 2009-2958

1432
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001433version 2.49
1434 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1435 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1436
1437 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1438 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1439 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1440 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1441
1442 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1444
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001445version 2.48
1446 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1447 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1448 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001449
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001450 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1451 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1452 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001453
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001454 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1455 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1456 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001457
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001458 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1459 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1460 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1461 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001462
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001463 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1464 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001465
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001466 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1467 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1468 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1469 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001470
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001471 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1472 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1473 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001474
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001475 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1476 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1477 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001478
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001479 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001480
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001481 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1482 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1483 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1484 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1485 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1486 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1487 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1488 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1489 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001490
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001491 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1492 useful suggestions.
1493
1494 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1495 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1496 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1497
1498 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1499 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001500
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001501 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1504version 2.47
1505 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1506
1507 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1508 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1509
1510 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1511 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1512 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1513
1514 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1515 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1516 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1517 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1518 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1519 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1520 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1521 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1522 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1523 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1524 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1525 Krafft for the bug report.
1526
1527 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1528
1529 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1530 Fix for this bug:
1531 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1532
1533 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1534 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1535 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1536 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1537
1538 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1539 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1540
1541 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1542
1543 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1544 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1545 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1546 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1547 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1548
1549 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1550 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1551
1552 No longer complain about blank lines in
1553 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1554
1555 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1556 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1557 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1558 for the bug report.
1559
1560 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1561 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1562 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1563 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1564
1565 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1566 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1567 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1568 as before.
1569 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1570 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1571 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1572
1573 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1574 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1575 Windows even when using supernetting.
1576 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1577 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1578 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1579 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1580
1581 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1582
1583 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1584 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1585 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1586 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1587 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1588 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1589 dnsmasq.

1592version 2.46
1593 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1594 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1595 suggestion.
1596
1597 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1598 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1599 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1600 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1601 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1602
1603 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1604 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1605 based in their IP address.
1606
1607 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1608 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1609 a domain associated with each client, and only
1610 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1611 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1612 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1613 long as they are in different domains.
1614
1615 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1616 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1617 have now that it's variable.
1618
1619 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1620 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1621 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1622 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1623 potential.
1624
1625 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1626 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1627 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1628
1629 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1630 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1631
1632 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1633 which the DHCP request was received.
1634
1635 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1636 Laine for the patch.
1637
1638 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1639 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1640
1641 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1642 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1643 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1644 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1645 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1646 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1647 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1648 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1649 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1650 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1651 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1652
1653 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1654 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1655 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1656 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1657 improvement.
1658
1659 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1660 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1661 suggestions on this.
1662
1663 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1664 Fisher.
1665
1666 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1667
1668 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1669 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1670
1671 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1672
1673 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1674 up" event occurs.
1675
1676
1677version 2.45
1678 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1679 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1680 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1681 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1682
1683
1684version 2.44
1685 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1686 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1687 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1688
1689 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1690 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1691 never been reported in the wild.
1692
1693 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1694 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1695
1696 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1697 is large.
1698
1699 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1700 David Gilman.
1701
1702 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1703
1704
1705version 2.43
1706 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1707
1708 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1709 illegally.
1710
1711 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1712
1713 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1714 format.
1715
1716 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1717 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1718 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1719 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1720 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1721
1722 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1723 Rack for the bug report.
1724
1725 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1726 Bergquist.
1727
1728 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1729 option.
1730
1731 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1732 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1733
1734 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1735 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1736
1737 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1738 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1739 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1740 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1741 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1742 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1743 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1744 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1745 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1746 suggestions.
1747
1748 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1749 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1750 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1751
1752 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1753 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1754 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1755 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1756 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1757 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1758 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1759 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1760 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1761 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1762
1763 Replace the random number generator, for better
1764 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1765 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1766 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1767 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1768 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1769 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1770
1771 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1772 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1773 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1774 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1775 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1776
1777 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
