Simon Kelley734d5312018-03-23 23:09:53 +00001version 2.80
2 Add support for RFC 4039 DHCP rapid commit. Thanks to Ashram Method
3 for the initial patch and motivation.

Simon Kelleya6918532018-04-15 16:20:52 +01005 Alter the default for dnssec-check-unsigned. Versions of
6 dnsmasq prior to 2.80 defaulted to not checking unsigned
7 replies, and used --dnssec-check-unsigned to switch
8 this on. Such configurations will continue to work as before,
9 but those which used the default of no checking will need to be
10 altered to explicitly select no checking. The new default is
11 because switching off checking for unsigned replies is
12 inherently dangerous. Not only does it open the possiblity of forged
13 replies, but it allows everything to appear to be working even
14 when the upstream namesevers do not support DNSSEC, and in this
15 case no DNSSEC validation at all is occuring.
16
Simon Kelley0669ee72018-05-04 16:46:24 +010017 Fix DHCP broken-ness when --no-ping AND --dhcp-sequential-ip
18 are set. Thanks to Daniel Miess for help with this.
Simon Kelleya6918532018-04-15 16:20:52 +010019
Simon Kelley6b173352018-05-08 18:32:14 +010020 Add a facilty to store DNS packets sent/recieved in a
21 pcap-format file for later debugging. The file location
22 is given by the --dumpfile option, and a bitmap controlling
23 which packets should be dumped is given by the --dumpmask
24 option.
25
Simon Kelleyc488b682018-06-02 13:06:00 +010026 Handle the case of both standard and constructed dhcp-ranges on the
27 same interface better. We don't now contruct a dhcp-range if there's
28 already one specified. This allows the specified interface to
29 have different parameters and avoids advertising the same
30 prefix twice. Thanks to Luis Marsano for spotting this case.
31
Simon Kelley090856c2018-06-02 18:37:07 +010032 Allow zone transfer in authoritative mode if auth-peer is specified,
33 even if auth-sec-servers is not. Thanks to Raphaël Halimi for
34 the suggestion.
35
Simon Kelleya997ca02018-06-29 14:39:41 +010036 Fix bug which sometimes caused dnsmasq to wrongly return answers
37 without DNSSEC RRs to queries with the do-bit set, but only when
38 DNSSEC validation was not enabled.
39 Thanks to Petr Menšík for spotting this.
Simon Kelleya3bd7e72018-07-19 22:00:08 +010040
41 Fix missing fatal errors with some malformed options
42 (server, local, address, rebind-domain-ok, ipset, alias).
43 Thanks to Eugene Lozovoy for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelleydd33e982018-07-30 14:55:39 +010044
45 Fix crash on startup with a --synth-domain which has no prefix.
46 Introduced in 2.79. Thanks to Andreas Engel for the bug report.
47
Simon Kelley1682d152018-08-03 20:38:18 +010048 Fix missing EDNS0 section in some replies generated by local
49 DNS configuration which confused systemd-resolvd. Thanks to
50 Steve Dodd for characterising the problem.
51
Simon Kelleydd33e982018-07-30 14:55:39 +010052
Simon Kelley30858e32017-10-09 22:36:11 +010053version 2.79
54 Fix parsing of CNAME arguments, which are confused by extra spaces.
55 Thanks to Diego Aguirre for spotting the bug.
56
Simon Kelley9d6918d2017-10-13 17:55:09 +010057 Where available, use IP_UNICAST_IF or IPV6_UNICAST_IF to bind
58 upstream servers to an interface, rather than SO_BINDTODEVICE.
59 Thanks to Beniamino Galvani for the patch.
60
Simon Kelley087eb762017-10-30 23:16:54 +000061 Always return a SERVFAIL answer to DNS queries without the
Ville Skyttäfaaf3062018-01-14 17:32:52 +000062 recursion desired bit set, UNLESS acting as an authoritative
Simon Kelley087eb762017-10-30 23:16:54 +000063 DNS server. This avoids a potential route to cache snooping.
64
Simon Kelley8e8b2d62017-10-30 23:21:52 +000065 Add support for Ed25519 signatures in DNSSEC validation.
66
67 No longer support RSA/MD5 signatures in DNSSEC validation,
68 since these are not secure. This behaviour is mandated in
69 RFC-6944.
70
Simon Kelleya6cee692017-12-14 22:40:48 +000071 Fix incorrect error exit code from dhcp_release6 utility.
72 Thanks Gaudenz Steinlin for the bug report.
73
Simon Kelley3c973ad2018-01-14 21:05:37 +000074 Use SIGINT (instead of overloading SIGHUP) to turn on DNSSEC
75 time validation when --dnssec-no-timecheck is in use.
76 Note that this is an incompatible change from earlier releases.
77
Simon Kelley22cd8602018-01-14 22:57:14 +000078 Allow more than one --bridge-interface option to refer to an
79 interface, so that we can use
80 --bridge-interface=int1,alias1
81 --bridge-interface=int1,alias2
82 as an alternative to
83 --bridge-interface=int1,alias1,alias2
84 Thanks to Neil Jerram for work on this.
Simon Kelley4fe67442018-01-19 12:26:08 +000085
86 Fix for DNSSEC with wildcard-derived NSEC records.
87 It's OK for NSEC records to be expanded from wildcards,
88 but in that case, the proof of non-existence is only valid
89 starting at the wildcard name, *.<domain> NOT the name expanded
90 from the wildcard. Without this check it's possible for an
91 attacker to craft an NSEC which wrongly proves non-existence.
92 Thanks to Ralph Dolmans for finding this, and co-ordinating
93 the vulnerability tracking and fix release.
94 CVE-2017-15107 applies.
95
Simon Kelley17214532018-02-14 22:56:09 +000096 Remove special handling of A-for-A DNS queries. These
97 are no longer a significant problem in the global DNS.

99 Thanks to Mattias Hellström for the initial patch.
Simon Kelley4f7bb572018-03-08 18:47:08 +0000100
101 Fix failure to delete dynamically created dhcp options
102 from files in -dhcp-optsdir directories. Thanks to
103 Lindgren Fredrik for the bug report.
Simon Kelley6b2b5642018-03-10 18:12:04 +0000104
105 Add to --synth-domain the ability to create names using
106 sequential numbers, as well as encodings of IP addresses.
107 For instance,
108 --synth-domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.50,192.168.0.70,internal-*
109 creates 21 domain names of the form
110 internal-4.thekelleys.org.uk over the address range given, with
111 internal-0.thekelleys.org.uk being 192.168.0.50 and
112 internal-20.thekelleys.org.uk being 192.168.0.70
113 Thanks to Andy Hawkins for the suggestion.
114
Simon Kelley94b68782018-03-17 18:39:23 +0000115 Tidy up Crypto code, removing workarounds for ancient
116 versions of libnettle. We now require libnettle 3.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100120 Fix logic of appending ".<layer>" to PXE basename. Thanks to Chris
121 Novakovic for the patch.
Simon Kelley1649f702017-06-25 21:19:30 +0100122
123 Revert ping-check of address in DHCPDISCOVER if there
124 already exists a lease for the address. Under some
125 circumstances, and netbooted windows installation can reply
126 to pings before if has a DHCP lease and block allocation
127 of the address it already used during netboot. Thanks to
128 Jan Psota for spotting this.
129
130 Fix DHCP relaying, broken in 2.76 and 2.77 by commit
131 ff325644c7afae2588583f935f4ea9b9694eb52e. Thanks to
132 John Fitzgibbon for the diagnosis and patch.
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100133
Hans Dedecker93967522017-06-27 22:08:47 +0100134 Try other servers if first returns REFUSED when
135 --strict-order active. Thanks to Hans Dedecker
136 for the patch
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100137
Simon Kelley63437ff2017-09-06 22:34:21 +0100138 Fix regression in 2.77, ironically added as a security
139 improvement, which resulted in a crash when a DNS
140 query exceeded 512 bytes (or the EDNS0 packet size,
141 if different.) Thanks to Christian Kujau, Arne Woerner
142 Juan Manuel Fernandez and Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for
143 chasing this one down. CVE-2017-13704 applies.
144
Simon Kelley0549c732017-09-25 18:17:11 +0100145 Fix heap overflow in DNS code. This is a potentially serious
146 security hole. It allows an attacker who can make DNS
147 requests to dnsmasq, and who controls the contents of
148 a domain, which is thereby queried, to overflow
149 (by 2 bytes) a heap buffer and either crash, or
150 even take control of, dnsmasq.
151 CVE-2017-14491 applies.

155
Simon Kelley24036ea2017-09-25 18:47:15 +0100156 Fix heap overflow in IPv6 router advertisement code.
157 This is a potentially serious security hole, as a
158 crafted RA request can overflow a buffer and crash or
159 control dnsmasq. Attacker must be on the local network.
160 CVE-2017-14492 applies.
161 Credit to Felix Wilhelm, Fermin J. Serna, Gabriel Campana
162 and Kevin Hamacher of the Google Security Team for
163 finding this.
Simon Kelley3d4ff1b2017-09-25 18:52:50 +0100164
165 Fix stack overflow in DHCPv6 code. An attacker who can send
166 a DHCPv6 request to dnsmasq can overflow the stack frame and
167 crash or control dnsmasq.
168 CVE-2017-14493 applies.

Simon Kelley33e3f102017-09-25 20:05:11 +0100172
173 Fix information leak in DHCPv6. A crafted DHCPv6 packet can
174 cause dnsmasq to forward memory from outside the packet
175 buffer to a DHCPv6 server when acting as a relay.
176 CVE-2017-14494 applies.

Simon Kelley897c1132017-09-25 20:11:58 +0100181 Fix DoS in DNS. Invalid boundary checks in the
182 add_pseudoheader function allows a memcpy call with negative
183 size An attacker which can send malicious DNS queries
184 to dnsmasq can trigger a DoS remotely.
185 dnsmasq is vulnerable only if one of the following option is
186 specified: --add-mac, --add-cpe-id or --add-subnet.
187 CVE-2017-14496 applies.

192 Fix out-of-memory Dos vulnerability. An attacker which can
193 send malicious DNS queries to dnsmasq can trigger memory
194 allocations in the add_pseudoheader function
195 The allocated memory is never freed which leads to a DoS
196 through memory exhaustion. dnsmasq is vulnerable only
197 if one of the following option is specified:
198 --add-mac, --add-cpe-id or --add-subnet.
199 CVE-2017-14495 applies.

Simon Kelley903df072017-01-19 17:22:00 +0000209
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100210 Calculate the length of TFTP error reply packet
211 correctly. This fixes a problem when the error
212 message in a TFTP packet exceeds the arbitrary
213 limit of 500 characters. The message was correctly
214 truncated, but not the packet length, so
215 extra data was appended. This is a possible
216 security risk, since the extra data comes from
217 a buffer which is also used for DNS, so that
218 previous DNS queries or replies may be leaked.
219 Thanks to Mozilla for funding the security audit
220 which spotted this bug.
Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +0100221
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100222 Fix logic error in Linux netlink code. This could
223 cause dnsmasq to enter a tight loop on systems
224 with a very large number of network interfaces.
225 Thanks to Ivan Kokshaysky for the diagnosis and
226 patch.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100258 Fix foobar in rrfilter code, that could cause malformed
259 replies, especially when DNSSEC validation on, and
260 the upstream server returns answer with the RRs in a
261 particular order. The only DNS server known to tickle
262 this is Nominum's. Thanks to Dave Täht for spotting the
263 bug and assisting in the fix.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100330 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
331 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
332 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
333 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
334 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100339 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
340 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
341 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.

408 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
409 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
410 will need to update your config.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100415 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
416 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
417 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
418 work with these architectures.
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100419
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100420 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
421 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
422 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
423 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
424 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
425 single-item boot menu.
426
427 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
428 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
429
430 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
431 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
432 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
433 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
434 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
435 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
436 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
437 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
438 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
439 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
440 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
441 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
442 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
443 have a config with a basename which already has a
444 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
445 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
446 name.suffix

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100462 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100494 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
495 queries which include the specified address. No error is
496 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
497 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
498 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
499 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
500 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100502 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
503 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
504 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
505 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
506 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
507 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
508 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
509 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.

516 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
517 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
518 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
519 floor of one hour. Thanks to RinSatsuki for the patch.

559 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
560 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
561 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100627 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
628 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
629 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
630 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
631 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
632 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100709 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
710 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
711 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
712 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
713 distribution. You should of course check that these are
714 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000715

Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000718
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100719 to your config is all that's needed to get things
720 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
721 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
722 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
723 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
724 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
725 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
726 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
727 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
728 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
729 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
730 records, which significantly improve the performance of
731 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
732 DNSSEC in action.
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100733
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100734 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
735 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
736 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
737 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
738 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
739 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
740 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
741 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
742 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
743 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
744 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
745 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
746 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
747 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
748 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
749 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
750
751 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
752 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
753 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
754 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
755 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
756 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
757 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
758 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
759 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
760 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
761 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
762 henceforward will be complete.
763
764 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
765 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
766 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
767 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
768 a workable state.
769
770 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
771
772 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
773 full access to configuration.
774
775 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
776 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
777 an interface exists on the server. This option
778 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
779 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
780 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
781 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
782 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
783
784 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
785 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
786 find this and helping to chase it down.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100812 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
813 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
814 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
815 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
816 work-around which exempted constructed DHCP ranges from the
817 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
818 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
819 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
820 constructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
821 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
822 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
823 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
824 IPv6 addresses of eth0.

838 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
839 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
840 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
841 exists) then we should do it always.
842
843 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for

855 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
856 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
857 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
858 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
859 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
860 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
861 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

934 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100935
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100936 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
937 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
938 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
939 for suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100940
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100941 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
942 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100943
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100944 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
945 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
946 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
947 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
948 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100949
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100950 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
951 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100952
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100953 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
954 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100955
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100956 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
957 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
958 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100959
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100960 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
961 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100962
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100963 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
964 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
965 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
966 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
967 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100968
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100969 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
970 address must be either the first or last address in the
971 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
972 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Tanguy Bouzelocef1d7422013-10-03 11:06:31 +0100973
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100974 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100976 Fix problem in DHCPv6 vendorclass/userclass matching
977 code. Thanks to Tanguy Bouzeloc for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100978

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100981 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
982 inspiration on this.
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100983
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100984 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
985 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
986 for sponsoring this feature.
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100987
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100988 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
989 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100990
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100991 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
992 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
993 suggestion.
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100994
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100995 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
996 as eligible for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
997 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
998 spotting the problem.

1001 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +00001004version 2.66
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001005 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
1006 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
1007 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
1008 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
1009 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
1010 servers to be configured.
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +00001011
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001012 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
1013 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
1014 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
1015 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
1016 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
1017 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
1018 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
1019 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +00001020
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001021 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
1022 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
1023 patch.
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +00001024
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001025 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
1026 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
1027 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
1028 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
1029 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
1030 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
1031 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +00001032
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001033 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
1034 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
1035 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +00001036
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001037 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBSCRIBER_ID,
1038 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
1039 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
1040 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
1041 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
1042 bounty for this addition.
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +00001043
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001044 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
1045 information-requests with some common configurations.
1046 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
1047 chasing the problem.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +00001048
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001049 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
1050 patch.
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +01001051
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001052 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
1053 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +01001054
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001055 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
1056 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +01001057
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001058 Handle the situation where libc headers define
1059 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
1060 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
1061 Felker for the bug report.
1062
1063 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1064
1065 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
1066 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
1067 the bug report.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001073 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
1074 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
1075 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +00001076
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001077 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
1078 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
1079
1080 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke caching.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001084 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
1085 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
1086 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +01001087
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001088 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
1089 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
1090 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
1091 generate a warning. Now that only happens if there is not
1092 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
1093 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +01001094
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001095 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001116 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
1117 infinite loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
1118 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001120 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
1121 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
1122 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
1123 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +01001124
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001125 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
1126 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
1127 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +01001128
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001129 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
1130 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
1131 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +01001132
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001133 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
1134 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
1135 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001140 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
1141 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
1142 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +00001143
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001144 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
1145 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
1146 without setting source address and interface, since this
1147 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
1148 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001160 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
1161 stuff is pointless without that.
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +01001162
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001163 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
1164 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
1165 interfaces.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001170 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
1171 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
1172 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
1173 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
1174 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
1175 superseded by other mechanisms.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001177 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host

1187 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
1188 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +01001189
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001190 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
1191 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
1192 spotted the omission.

Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +01001210
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001211 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
1212 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
1213 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +01001214
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001215 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
1216 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
1217 for spotting this.
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +01001218
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001219 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
1220 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
1221 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +01001222
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001223 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +01001224
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001225 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
1226 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
1227 his help nailing this.
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +01001228
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +00001229version 2.61
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001230 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
1231 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
1232 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
1233 addresses.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +00001234
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001235 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
1236 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
1237 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
1238 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
1239 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
1240 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +00001241
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001242 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +00001243
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001244 Explicitly send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
1245 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
1246 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
1247 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
1248 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +00001249
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001250 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
1251 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
1252 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001253
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001254 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001255
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001256 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
1257 suggestion.
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +00001258
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001259 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
1260 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
1261 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
1262 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilities
1263 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
1264 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
1265 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
1266 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
1267 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
1268 Gadgil.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001269
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001270 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
1271 the above.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001272
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001273 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
1274 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
1275 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
1276 Forkel.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001277
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001278 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
1279 work even if there is no interface carrying the
1280 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
1281 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
1282 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
1283 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
1284 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +00001285
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001286 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
1287 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
1288 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001289
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001290 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
1291 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
1292 preferred lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
1293 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
1294 for existing connections, but new connections will use
1295 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
1296 renumbering at least possible.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +01001297
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001298 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
1299 acquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +01001300
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001301 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
1302 using the settings provided for DHCP options
1303 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +01001304
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001305 Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
1306 SamLT for work on this.
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +01001307
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001308 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
1309 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-existent
1310 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +01001311
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001312 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
1313 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
1314 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
1315 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
1316 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
1317 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +01001318
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001319 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley19d69be2012-04-27 10:14:34 +01001320
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001321 Give correct from-cache answers to explicit CNAME queries.
1322 Thanks to Rob Zwissler for spotting this.
1323
1324 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
1325 patch.
1326
1327 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
1328 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
1329 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina
1330 Ene for the patch.
1331
1332 Fix failure of TFTP over IPv4 on OpenBSD platform. Thanks
1333 to Brad Smith for spotting this.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001337 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
1338 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001339
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001340 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
1341 which is not the primary address of an interface.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001342
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001343 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001344
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001345 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1346 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1347 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1348 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1349 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1350 implementation.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001351
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001352 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1353 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1354 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1355 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1356 set them from the make command line.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001357
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001358 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1359 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001360
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001361 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1362 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001363
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001364 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
1365 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001366
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001367 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1368 containing many distinct addresses.
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001369
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001370 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1371 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1372 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1373 this.
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001374
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001375 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1376 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001377
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001378 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1379 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1380 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1381 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001382
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001383 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1384 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1385 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1386 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
1387 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
1388 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001389
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001390 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1391 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1392 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1393 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1394 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1395 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1396 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1397 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1398 These will be added as the standards mature.
1399 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1400 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1401 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001402
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001403 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1404 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1405 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1406 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1407 enabling with --enable-ra.
1408
1409 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1410 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1411 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1412 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
1413
1414 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1415
1416 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001419version 2.59
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001420 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1421 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1422 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1423 report.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001424
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001425 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1426 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1427 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1428 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1429 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1430 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1431 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1432 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1433 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001434
1435
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001436version 2.58
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001437 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1438 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001439
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001440 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1441 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1442 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001443
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001444 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1445 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1446 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1447 server-deployment applications need this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001448
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001449 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1450 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1451 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1452 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1453 in chasing this one down.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001454
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001455 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1456 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1457 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1458 the problem.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001459
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001460 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1461 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1462 desirable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1463 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1464 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1465 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001466
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001467 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1468 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1469 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1470 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1471 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1472 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1473 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1474 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001475
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001476 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1477 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001478
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001479 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1480 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1481 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1482 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001483
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001484 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1485 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001486
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001487 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1488 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1489 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1490 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1491 Agrawal for the patch.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001492
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001493 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1494 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1495 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1496 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1497 per-network values. So
1498 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1499 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1500 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1501 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1502 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1503 override that to domain2 for a particular host.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001505 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1506 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1507 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1508 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1509 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1510 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1511 a comprehensive test-case.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001512
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001513 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1514 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
1515 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001516
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001517 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1518 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1519 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1520 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1521 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001522
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001523 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001528version 2.57
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001529 Add patches to allow build under Android.
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001530
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001531 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1532 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1533 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1534 effectively empty on Android.
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001535
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001536 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1537 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1538 wildcard.
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001539
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001540 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1541 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1542 spotting this.
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001543
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001544 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1545 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1546 when i18n is included.
1547 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001548
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001549 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1550 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1551 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001552

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001554version 2.56
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001555 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1556 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001557
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001558 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1559 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1560 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1561 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001562
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001563 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1564 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001565
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001566 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1567 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1568 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001569
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001570 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1571 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1572 syslogd.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001573
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001574 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1575 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1576 Petrin for the original patch.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001577
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001578 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1579 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1580 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001581
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001582 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1583 option, on the command line.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001584
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001585 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1586 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001587
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001588 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1589 b) --keep-in-foreground is set. The logging facility on the
1590 other end of stderr can be assumed to supply them. Thanks
1591 to John Hallam for the patch.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001592
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001593 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1594 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1595 character chunks instead.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001596
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001597 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1598 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1599 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1600 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001601
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001602 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1603 transfer has completed successfully.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001604
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001605 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1606 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1607 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1608 which automatically creates
1609 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1610 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001611
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001612 Tighten up syntax checking of hex constants in the config
1613 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001614
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001615 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1616 thanks for that.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001617
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001618 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1619 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1620 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1621 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1622 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1623 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1624 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1625 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1626 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001627
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001628 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1629 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1630 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1631 set.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001632
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001633 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1634 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001635
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001636 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1637 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1638 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001639
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001640 Edit
1641 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1642 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1643 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001644
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001645 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1646 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
Ville Skyttäfaaf3062018-01-14 17:32:52 +00001647 a NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001648 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1649 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1650 override this behaviour by defining the semantics if the
1651 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1652 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1653 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1654 of the address family which doesn't appear in --address
1655 So:
1656 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1657 --server=/google.com/#
1658 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1659 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1660 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1661 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1662 William for pointing out the need for this.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001663
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001664 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1665 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1666 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001667
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001668 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1669 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1670 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1671 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1672
1673 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
1674 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks
1675 to Fedor Kozhevnikov for spotting this.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001676

Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001678version 2.55
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001679 Fix crash when /etc/ethers is in use. Thanks to
1680 Gianluigi Tiesi for finding this.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001681
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001682 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
1683 finding this one.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001684
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001685 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)
1686 options.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001687

1689version 2.54
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001690 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
1691 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001692

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001694version 2.53
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001695 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1696 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001697
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001698 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1699 generated by gcc 4.4.
1700
1701 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1702 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1703
1704 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1705 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1706 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001707
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001708 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1709 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1710 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1711 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1712 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1713 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1714 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1715 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1716 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1717 much less confusing.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001718
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001719 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1720 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1721 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001722
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001723 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001724
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001725 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001726
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001727 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1728 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1729 finding this.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001730
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001731 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1732 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1733 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1734 from the client.
1735
1736 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1737 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1738 finding this.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001739
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001740 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1741 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1742 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1743 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1744 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1745 server-override option.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001746
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001747 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1748 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1749 allows a single line of the form
1750 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1751 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1752 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1753 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1754 irrespective of the existence or lack of
1755 interface=<interface>
1756 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1757 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1758 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1759 configuration.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001760
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001761 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001762
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001763 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1764 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001765
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001766 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1767 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1768 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1769 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001770
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001771 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1772 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1773 file, not the process/descriptor.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001774
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001775 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1776 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001777
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001778 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1779 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1780 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1781 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1782 this and testing the fix.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001783
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001784 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1785 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1786 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001788 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1789 upstream servers: this allows something like
1790 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1791 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1792 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1793 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001794
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001795 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1796 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1797 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1798 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1799 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1800 work on this.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001801
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001802 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1803 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1804 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1805 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1806 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1807 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1808 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001809
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001810 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001811
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001812 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1813 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1814 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1815 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1816 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1817 here.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001818
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001819 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001820
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001821 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1822 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001823
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001824 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1825 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1826 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1827 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1828 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001829
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001830 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1831 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001832
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001833 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1834 is set.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001835
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001836 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1837 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001838
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001839 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1843 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1844
1845 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1846
1847 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1848 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1849 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1850
1851 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1853
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001854version 2.52
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001855 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1856 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1857 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1858 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1859 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1860 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1861 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1862 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001863
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001864 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1865 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1866 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1867 necessary for some *WRT distros.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001868
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001869 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1870 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1871 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1872 when dnsmasq is first started.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001873
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001874 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1875 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1876 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1877 with certain clients.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001878
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001879 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1880 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1881 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001882
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001883 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1884 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1885 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1886 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1887 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1888 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1889 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1890 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1891 numbers delimited by dots.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001892
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001893 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1894 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001895
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001896 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1897 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001898
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001899 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1900 contrib/Solaris10.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001901
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001902 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1903 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1904 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1905 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1906 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1907 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1908 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001909
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001910 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1911 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1912 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1913 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001914
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001915 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1916 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1917 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001918
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001919 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1920 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1921 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001922
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001923 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1924 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1925 looks like this:
1926 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001927
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001928 Add some application specific code to assist in
1929 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1930 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001931
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001932 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1933 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1934 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1935 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001936
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001937 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
1938 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001939
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001940 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1941 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1942 this.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001943
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001944 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1945 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1946 providing this.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001947
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001948 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1949 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001950
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001951 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1952
1953 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1954
1955 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1956
1957 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1958 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1959 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1960 finding and analysing the problem.
1961
1962
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001963version 2.51
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001964 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1965 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1966 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1967 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1968 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1969 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1970 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1971 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1972 suggestion.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001973
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001974 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1975 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1976 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1977 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1978 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1979 a DHCP relay, if used.
1980 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001981
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001982 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1983 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001984
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001985 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1986 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1987 dhcp-option-force.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001988
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001989 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1990 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1991 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001992
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001993 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1994 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1995 the patch.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001996
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001997 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001998
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001999 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
2000 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002001
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002002 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
2003 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
2004 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
2005 suggestion.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002006
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002007 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
2008 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
2009 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
2010 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
2011 dhcp-optsfile.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002012
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002013 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
2014 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
2015 is retried. This should improve performance when there
2016 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
2017 suggestion.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002018
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002019 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
2020 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
2021 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
2022 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
2023 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
2024
2025 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
2026 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
2027 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
2028 fragmented packets.
2029
2030 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
2031 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
2032

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002037 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
2038 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
2039 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
2040 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002052 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
2053 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01002054
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002055 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
2056 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
2057 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
2058 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01002059
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002060 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002068 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
2069 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
2070 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00002071
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002072 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
2073 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
2074 to Steve Grubb for the patch.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002076 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
2077 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
2078 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002084 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
2085 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
2086 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
2087 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00002088
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002089 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
2090 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
2091 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00002092
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002093 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
2094 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
2095 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00002096
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002097 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00002098
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002099 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
2100 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
2101 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
2102 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
2103 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
2104 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
2105 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
2106 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
2107 and Michael Brown for assistance.
2108
2109 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
2110 useful suggestions.
2111
2112 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
2113 this, edit src/config.h or build with
2114 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
2115
2116 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
2117 configuration files only.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002125 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
2126 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002127
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002128 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
2129 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
2130 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overridden in CFLAGS.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002131
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002132 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
2133 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
2134 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
2135 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
2136 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
2137 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
2138 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
2139 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
2140 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
2141 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
2142 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
2143 Krafft for the bug report.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002151 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
2152 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
Geert Stappersc7e6aea2018-01-13 17:56:37 +00002153 (eg) iPXE, which expect all its private options to be
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002154 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002155
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002156 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
2157 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002158
Geert Stappersc7e6aea2018-01-13 17:56:37 +00002159 will provide iSCSI parameters to iPXE.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002160
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002161 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
2162 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
2163 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
2164 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
2165 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002166
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002167 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002173 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
2174 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
2175 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
2176 for the bug report.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002178 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
2179 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
2180 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
2181 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002183 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
2184 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
2185 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
2186 as before.
2187 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
2188 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
2189 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002190
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002191 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
2192 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
2193 Windows even when using supernetting.
2194 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
2195 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
2196 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
2197 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002198
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002199 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2200
2201 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
2202 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
2203 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
2204 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
2205 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
2206 directory owned and write-able by the user running
2207 dnsmasq.

2213 suggestion.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002214
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002215 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
2216 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
2217 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
2218 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
2219 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002220
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002221 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
2222 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
2223 based in their IP address.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002224
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002225 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
2226 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
2227 a domain associated with each client, and only
2228 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
2229 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
2230 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
2231 long as they are in different domains.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002232
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002233 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
2234 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
2235 have now that it's variable.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002236
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002237 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
2238 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
2239 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
2240 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
2241 potential.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002242
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002243 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
2244 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
2245 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002246
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002247 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
2248 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002249
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002250 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
2251 which the DHCP request was received.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002252
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002253 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
2254 Laine for the patch.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002255
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002256 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
2257 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002258
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002259 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
2260 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
2261 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
2262 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
2263 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
2264 address to a host which has two network interfaces
2265 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
2266 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
2267 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
2268 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
2269 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002270
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002271 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
2272 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
2273 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
2274 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
2275 improvement.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002276
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002277 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
2278 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
2279 suggestions on this.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002334 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2335 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2336 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2337 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2338 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002355 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2356 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2357 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2358 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2359 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2360 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2361 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2362 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2363 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2364 suggestions.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002366 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2367 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2368 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002370 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2371 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2372 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2373 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2374 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2375 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2376 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2377 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2378 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2379 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002381 Replace the random number generator, for better
2382 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2383 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2384 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2385 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2386 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2387 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002389 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2390 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2391 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2392 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2393 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
