Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +00001version 2.66
2 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
3 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
4 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
5 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
6 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
7 servers to be configured.
8
9 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
10 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
11 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
12 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
13 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
14 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
15 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
16 this idea.

18 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +000019 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
20 patch.
21
22 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
23 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
24 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
25 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
26 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
27 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
28 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +000029
30 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
31 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
32 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +000033
34 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
35 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
36 lease-change script (and the correponding Lua). These hold
37 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
38 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
39 bounty for this addition.
40
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +000041 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
42 information-requests with some common configurations.
43 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
44 chasing the problem.
45
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +000046 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
47 patch.
48
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +000049 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
50 options. Thnaks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
51
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +000052
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +000053version 2.65
54 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
55 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
56 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
57
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +000058 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
59 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +000060
61 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +000062
63
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +010064version 2.64
65 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
66 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
67 spotting the problem.
68
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +010069 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
70 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
71 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
72 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
73 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
74 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
75
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +010076 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
77 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
78
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +010079 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
80 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
81
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +010082 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
83 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
84
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +000085 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan

87
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +000088 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
89 Roy Marples for the patch.
90
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +010091 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
92 Rodriguez for the patch.

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +010094 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
95 for the patch.
96
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +010097 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
98 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
99 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
100
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100101 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
102 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
103 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
104 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
105
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100106 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
107 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
108 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
109
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100110 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
111 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
112 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
113
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000114 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
115 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
116 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000117
118 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
119 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000120
121 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
122 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
123 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000124
125 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
126 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
127 without setting source address and interface, since this
128 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
129 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
130
131 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
132 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100133
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000134
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100135version 2.63
136 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
137
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100138 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
139 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
140
141 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
142 stuff is pointless without that.
143
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100144 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
145 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
146 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100147
148 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
149 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100150
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100151 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
152 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
153 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
154 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
155 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
156 superceded by other mechanisms.
157
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100158 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
159 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
160
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100161 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
162 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
163
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100164 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100165
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100166 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
167 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
168 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
169 the suggestion.
170
171 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
172 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
173 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100174
175 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100176
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100177 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
178 which overrides the default,
179 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
180 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
181
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100182 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
183 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
184
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100185
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100186version 2.62
187 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
188
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100189 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
190 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
191
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100192 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
193 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
194 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
195
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100196 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
197 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
198 for spotting this.
199
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100200 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
201 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
202 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
203
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100204 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
205
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100206 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
207 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
208 his help nailing this.
209
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000210version 2.61
211 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
212 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
213 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
214 addresses.
215
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100216 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
217 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
218 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
219 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
220 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
221 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000222
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000223 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
224
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000225 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
226 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
227 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100228 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000229 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000230
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000231 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
232 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
233 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
234
235 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
236
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000237 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
238 suggestion.
239
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000240 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
241 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
242 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
243 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
244 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
245 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
246 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
247 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
248 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
249 Gadgil.
250
251 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
252 the above.
253
254 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
255 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000256 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
257 Forkel.
258
259 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
260 work even if there is no interface carrying the
261 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
262 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
263 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
264 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
265 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000266
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000267 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
268 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
269 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
270
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100271 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
272 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
273 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
274 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
275 for existing connections, but new connections will use
276 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
277 renumbering at least possible.
278
279 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100280 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100281

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100289 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it

Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100295 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
296 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
297 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100298 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000321 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
322 which is not the primary address of an interface.
323
324 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
325
326 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
327 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
328 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
329 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
330 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
331 implementation.
332
333 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
334 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
335 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
336 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
337 set them from the make command line.
338
339 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
340 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
341
342 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
343 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

349 containing many distinct addresses.
350
351 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
352 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
353 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
354 this.
355
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000356 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to

358
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000359 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
360 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
361 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
362 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
363
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000364 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
365 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
366 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
367 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000368 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000369 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
370
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000371 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
372 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
373 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
374 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
375 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
376 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
377 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
378 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
379 These will be added as the standards mature.
380 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
381 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
382 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000383
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000384 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
385 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
386 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
387 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
388 enabling with --enable-ra.
389
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000390 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
391 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
392 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
393 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000400version 2.59
401 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
402 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
403 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
404 report.
405
406 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
407 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
408 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
409 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
410 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
411 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
412 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
413 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
414 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100417version 2.58
418 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
419 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
420
421 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
422 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
423 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
424
425 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
426 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
427 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
428 server-deployment applications need this.
429
430 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
431 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
432 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
433 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
434 in chasing this one down.
435
436 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
437 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
438 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
439 the problem.
440
441 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
442 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
443 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
444 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
445 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
446 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
447
448 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
449 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
450 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
451 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
452 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
453 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
454 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
455 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
456
457 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
458 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
459
460 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
461 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
462 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
463 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
464
465 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
466 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
467
468 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
469 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
470 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
471 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
472 Agrawal for the patch.
473
474 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
475 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
476 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
477 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
478 per-network values. So
479 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
480 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
481 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
482 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
483 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
484 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
485
486 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
487 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
488 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
489 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
490 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
491 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
492 a comprehensive test-case.
493
494 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
495 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100496 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100497
498 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
499 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
500 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
501 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
502 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000509version 2.57
510 Add patches to allow build under Android.
511
512 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
513 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
514 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
515 effectively empty on Android.
516
517 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
518 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
519 wildcard.
520
521 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
522 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
523 spotting this.
524
525 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
526 IDN support continues to be included automatically
527 when i18n is included.
528 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
529
530 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
531 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
532 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
533
534
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000535version 2.56
536 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
537 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
538
539 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
540 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
541 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
542 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
543
544 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
545 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
546
547 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
548 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
549 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
550
551 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
552 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
553 syslogd.
554
555 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
556 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
557 Petrin for the orignal patch.
558
559 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
560 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
561 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
562
563 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
564 option, on the command line.
565
566 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
567 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
568
569 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
570 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
571 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
572 to John Hallam for the patch.
573
574 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
575 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
576 character chunks instead.
577
578 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
579 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
580 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
581 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
582
583 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
584 transfer has completed succesfully.
585
586 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
587 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
588 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
589 which automatically creates
590 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
591 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
592
593 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
594 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
595
596 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
597 thanks for that.
598
599 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
600 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
601 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
602 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
603 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
604 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
605 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
606 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
607 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
608
609 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
610 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
611 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
612 set.
613
614 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
615 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
616
617 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
618 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
619 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
620
621 Edit
622 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
623 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
624 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
625
626 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
627 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
628 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
629 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
630 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
631 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
632 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
633 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
634 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
635 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
636 So:
637 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
638 --server=/google.com/#
639 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
640 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
641 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
642 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
643 William for pointing out the need for this.
644
645 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
646 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
647 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
648
649 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
650 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
651 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
652 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
653

677 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
678
679 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
680 generated by gcc 4.4.
681
682 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
683 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
684
685 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
686 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
687 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
688
689 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
690 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
691 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
692 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
693 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
694 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
695 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
696 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
697 the documentation and new-style config files should be
698 much less confusing.
699
700 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
701 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
702 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
703
704 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
705
706 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
707
708 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
709 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
710 finding this.
711
712 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
713 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
714 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
715 from the client.
716
717 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
718 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
719 finding this.
720
721 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
722 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
723 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
724 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
725 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
726 server-override option.
727
728 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
729 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
730 allows a single line of the form
731 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
732 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
733 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
734 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
735 irrespective of the existance or lack of
736 interface=<interface>
737 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
738 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
739 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
740 configuration.
741
742 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
743
744 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
745 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
746
747 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
748 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
749 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
750 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
751
752 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
753 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
754 file, not the process/descriptor.
755
756 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
757 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
758
759 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
760 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
761 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
762 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
763 this and testing the fix.
764
765 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
766 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
767 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
768
769 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
770 upstream servers: this allows something like
771 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
772 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
773 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
774 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
775
776 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
777 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
778 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
779 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
780 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
781 work on this.
782
783 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
784 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
785 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
786 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
787 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
788 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
789 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
790
791 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
792
793 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
794 than one server available for a domain, eg.
795 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
796 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
797 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
798 here.
799
800 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
801
802 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
803 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
804
805 Fix regression which caused configuration like
806 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
807 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
808 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
809 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
810
811 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
812 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
813
814 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
815 is set.
816
817 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
818 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.

Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000835version 2.52
836 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
837 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
838 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
839 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
840 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
841 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
842 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
843 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
844
845 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
846 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
847 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
848 necessary for some *WRT distros.
849
850 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
851 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
852 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
853 when dnsmasq is first started.
854
855 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
856 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
857 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
858 with certain clients.
859
860 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
861 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
862 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
863
864 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
865 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
866 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
867 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
868 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
869 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
870 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
871 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
872 numbers delimited by dots.
873
874 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
875 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
876
877 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
878 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
879
880 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
881 contrib/Solaris10.
882
883 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
884 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
885 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
886 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
887 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
888 addresses available in such an installation removes a
889 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
890
891 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
892 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
893 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
894 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
895
896 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
897 the lease-change script in the environment variable
898 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
899
900 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
901 Options". The syntax looks like this:
902 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
903
904 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
905 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
906 looks like this:
907 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
908
909 Add some application specific code to assist in
910 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
911 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
912
913 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
914 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
915 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
916 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
917
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100918 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000919 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
920
921 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
922 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
923 this.
924
925 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
926 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
927 providing this.
928
929 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
930 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
931
932 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
933
934 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
935
936 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
937
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100938 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
939 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
940 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
941 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000942
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100943
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100944version 2.51
945 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
946 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
947 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
948 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
949 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
950 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
951 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
952 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
953 suggestion.
954
955 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
956 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
957 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
958 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
959 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
960 a DHCP relay, if used.
961 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
962
963 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
964 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
965
966 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
967 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
968 dhcp-option-force.
969
970 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
971 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
972 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
973
974 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
975 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
976 the patch.
977
978 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
979
980 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
981 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
982
983 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
984 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
985 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
986 suggestion.
987
988 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
989 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
990 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
991 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
992 dhcp-optsfile.
993
994 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
995 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
996 is retried. This should improve performance when there
997 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
998 suggestion.
999
1000 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1001 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1002 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1003 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1004 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1005
1006 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1007 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1008 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1009 fragmented packets.
1010
1011 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1012 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1013
1014 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001018 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001019 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1020 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1021 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1022 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1023 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1024 and CVE: 2009-2957
1025
1026 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1027 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1028 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1029 CVE: 2009-2958

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001032version 2.49
1033 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1034 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1035
1036 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1037 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1038 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1039 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1040
1041 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001044version 2.48
1045 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1046 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1047 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001048
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001049 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1050 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1051 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001052
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001053 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1054 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1055 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001056
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001057 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1058 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1059 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1060 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001061
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001062 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1063 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001064
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001065 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1066 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1067 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1068 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001069
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001070 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1071 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1072 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001073
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001074 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1075 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1076 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001077
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001078 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001079
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001080 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1081 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1082 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1083 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1084 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1085 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1086 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1087 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1088 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001089
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001090 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1091 useful suggestions.
1092
1093 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1094 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1095 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1096
1097 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1098 configuration files only.

1103version 2.47
1104 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1105
1106 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1107 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1108
1109 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1110 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1111 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1112
1113 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1114 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1115 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1116 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1117 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1118 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1119 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1120 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1121 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1122 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1123 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1124 Krafft for the bug report.
1125
1126 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1127
1128 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1129 Fix for this bug:
1130 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1131
1132 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1133 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1134 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1135 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1136
1137 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1138 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1139
1140 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1141
1142 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1143 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1144 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1145 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1146 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1147
1148 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1149 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1150
1151 No longer complain about blank lines in
1152 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1153
1154 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1155 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1156 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1157 for the bug report.
1158
1159 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1160 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1161 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1162 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1163
1164 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1165 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1166 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1167 as before.
1168 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1169 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1170 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1171
1172 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1173 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1174 Windows even when using supernetting.
1175 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1176 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1177 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1178 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1179
1180 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1181
1182 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1183 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1184 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1185 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1186 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1187 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1188 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001189
1190
1191version 2.46
1192 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1193 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1194 suggestion.
1195
1196 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1197 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1198 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1199 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1200 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1201
1202 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1203 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1204 based in their IP address.
1205
1206 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1207 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1208 a domain associated with each client, and only
1209 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1210 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1211 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1212 long as they are in different domains.
1213
1214 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1215 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1216 have now that it's variable.
1217
1218 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1219 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1220 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1221 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1222 potential.
1223
1224 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1225 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1226 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1227
1228 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1229 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1230
1231 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1232 which the DHCP request was received.
1233
1234 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1235 Laine for the patch.
1236
1237 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1238 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1239
1240 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1241 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1242 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1243 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1244 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1245 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1246 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1247 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1248 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1249 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1250 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1251
1252 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1253 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1254 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1255 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1256 improvement.
1257
1258 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1259 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1260 suggestions on this.
1261
1262 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1263 Fisher.
1264
1265 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1266
1267 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1268 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1269
1270 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1271
1272 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1273 up" event occurs.
1274
1275
1276version 2.45
1277 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1278 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1279 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1280 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1281
1282
1283version 2.44
1284 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1285 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1286 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1287
1288 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1289 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1290 never been reported in the wild.
1291
1292 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1293 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1294
1295 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1296 is large.
1297
1298 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1299 David Gilman.
1300
1301 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1302
1303
1304version 2.43
1305 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1306
1307 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1308 illegally.
1309
1310 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1311
1312 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1313 format.
1314
1315 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1316 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1317 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1318 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1319 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1320
1321 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1322 Rack for the bug report.
1323
1324 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1325 Bergquist.
1326
1327 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1328 option.
1329
1330 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1331 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1332
1333 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1334 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1335
1336 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1337 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1338 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1339 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1340 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1341 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1342 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1343 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1344 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1345 suggestions.
1346
1347 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1348 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1349 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1350
1351 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1352 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1353 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1354 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1355 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1356 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1357 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1358 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1359 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1360 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1361
1362 Replace the random number generator, for better
1363 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1364 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1365 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1366 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1367 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1368 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1369
1370 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1371 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1372 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1373 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1374 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1375
1376 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
