Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +01001version 2.74
2 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
3 read the default file, rather than no file.

Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +01005 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
6 not SEGV in some circumstances.

Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +01009version 2.73
10 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
11 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
12 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +000013
14 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
15 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
16 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.

Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +000018 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
19 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +000020 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
21 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
22 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +000023
24 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
25 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
26 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +000027
28 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
29 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
30 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
31 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +000032
33 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
34 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +000035
36 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
37 queries which include the specified address. No error is
38 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
39 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
40 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
41 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
42 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +000043
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +000044 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
45 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
46 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
47 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
48 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
49 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
50 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
51 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +010052
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +000053 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
54 to search automatically.
55
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +000056 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
57 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
58 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
59 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
60 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
61 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +000062
63 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
64 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
65 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +000066
67 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
68 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
69 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
70 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +000071
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +000072 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
73 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
74 for the patch.
75
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +000076 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +000077
78 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +010079 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
80 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
81 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
82 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +010083
84 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
85 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +010086
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +010087 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
88 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
89 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
90 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
91 sterling work chasing this down.
92
93 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
94 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +010095 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
96 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
97 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +010098
99 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
100 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
101 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
102 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
103 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
104 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
105 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
106 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100107
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100108 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
109 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
110 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
111 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
112 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
113 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100114 pointing out the problem.
115
116 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
117 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
118 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100119
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100120 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
121 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
122 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
123 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
124 change permanent.
125
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100126 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
127 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
128
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100129 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
130 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
131
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100132 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
133 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
134 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
135 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100136
137 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
138 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100139
140 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the
141 "on-link" bit set. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
142
143 Extend --bridge-interface to DHCPv6 and router
144 advertisements. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100145
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000146
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100147version 2.72
Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +0100148 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
149
150 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
151 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100152
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100153 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
154 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
155 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100156
157 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
158 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100159
160 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
161 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100162
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100163 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
164 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
165 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
166 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
167 patch.
168
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100169 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
170 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
171 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
172 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
173 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
174 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
175
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100176 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
177 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
178 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +0100179
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100180 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
181 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100182
183 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
184 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
185 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100186
187 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
188 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.
189
Simon Kelleyad4a8ff2015-04-09 21:48:00 +0100190
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100191version 2.71
192 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
193 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
194 non-existent DS records.
195
196 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
197 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
198 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
199 report.
200
201 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
202 for spotting that too.
203
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100204 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
205 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
206 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
207
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100208
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100209version 2.70
210 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
211 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
212 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
213
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100214 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
215 Wang Jian for the bug report.
216
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100217
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000218version 2.69
219 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
220 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
221 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
222 valuable research on how to implement this.
223
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000224 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000225 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000226
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000227 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
228 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
229 for spotting the problem.
230
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000231 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
232 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
233 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
234 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
235 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
236
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000237 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
238 compiled with this enabled, with
239
240 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
241
242 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
243 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
244 statically with
245
246 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
247
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100248 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
249 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
250
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000251 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
252 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
253 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
254 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
255 distribution. You should of course check that these are
256 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
257
258 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
259 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000260
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000261 to your config is all thats needed to get things
262 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
263 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
264 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
265 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
266 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
267 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
268 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
269 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
270 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
271 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
272 records, which significantly improve the performance of
273 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
274 DNSSEC in action.
275
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100276 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
277 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
278 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
279 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
280 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
281 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
282 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
283 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
284 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
285 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
286 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
287 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
288 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
289 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
290 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
291 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
292
293 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
294 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
295 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
296 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
297 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
298 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
299 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
300 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
301 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
302 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
303 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
304 henceforward will be complete.
305
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000306 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
307 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
308 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
309 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
310 a workable state.
311
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000312 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000313
314 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
315 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000316
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000317 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
318 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
319 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000320 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000321 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
322 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
323 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
324 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
325
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000326 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
327 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
328 find this and helping to chase it down.
329
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100330 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
331 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
332 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
333
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100334 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
335 well as logging them.
336
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000337
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000338version 2.68
339 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
340 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
341 addresses.
342
343 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
344 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
345 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
346 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
347 restarted, this bug disappeared.
348
349 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
350 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
351
352 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
353
354 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
355 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
356 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
357 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
358 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
359 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
360 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
361 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
362 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
363 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
364 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
365 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
366 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000367
368 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
369 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
370 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
371 for the bug report.

373 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
374 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
375
376 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
377 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000378
379 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
380 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
381 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
382 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
383 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000384
385 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
386 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
387 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
388 corresponding address on the local interface.

392 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
393 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
394 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100395
396 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
397 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
398 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
399 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
400 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
401 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
402 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
403 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100404
405 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
406 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
407 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100408
409 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
410 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100411
412 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
413 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100414
415 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
416 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
417 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
418 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
419 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
420 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
421 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
422 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100424 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
425 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
426 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
427 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
428 bug report.

442
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100443 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
444 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
445 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
446 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
447 report.

458
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100459 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
460 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
461 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
462 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
463
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100464 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
465 via DBus too.
466
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100467 When the address which triggered the construction of an
468 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
469 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
470 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
471 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
472 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
473 arguing for this.
474

479 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
480 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
481 for suggesting this.
482
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100483 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
484 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
485
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100486 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
487 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
488 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
489 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
490 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
491
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100492 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net

Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100502 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
503 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
504
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100505 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
506 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
507 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
508 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
509 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100510
511 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
512 address must be either the first or last address in the
513 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
514 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100515
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100516 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100523 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
524 inspiration on this.
525
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100526 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100527 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
528 for sponsoring this feature.

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100530 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
531 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
532
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100533 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
534 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
535 suggestion.
536
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100537 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
538 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
539 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
540 spotting the problem.
541
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100542 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000546version 2.66
547 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
548 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
549 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
550 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
551 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
552 servers to be configured.
553
554 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
555 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
556 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
557 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
558 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
559 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
560 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
561 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000562
563 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000564 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
565 patch.
566
567 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
568 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
569 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
570 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
571 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
572 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
573 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000574
575 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
576 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
577 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000578
579 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
580 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000581 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000582 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
583 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
584 bounty for this addition.
585
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000586 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
587 information-requests with some common configurations.
588 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
589 chasing the problem.
590
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000591 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
592 patch.
593
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000594 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000595 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000596
597 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
598 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000599
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100600 Handle the situation where libc headers define
601 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
602 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
603 Felker for the bug report.
604
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100605 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100606

615 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
616 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
617 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
618
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000619 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to

624
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100625version 2.64
626 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
627 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
628 spotting the problem.
629
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100630 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
631 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
632 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
633 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
634 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
635 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
636
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100637 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

639
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100640 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in

657
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100658 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
659 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
660 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
661
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100662 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
663 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
664 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
665 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
666
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100667 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
668 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
669 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
670
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100671 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6

674
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000675 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM

Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000685
686 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
687 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
688 without setting source address and interface, since this

703 stuff is pointless without that.
704
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100705 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100712 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
713 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
714 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
715 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
716 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been

729 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
730 the suggestion.

779 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
780 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to

794 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
795
796 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
797

Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000801 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
802 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
803 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
804 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
805 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
806 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
807 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
808 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
809 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
810 Gadgil.
811
812 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
813 the above.
814
815 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running

818 Forkel.
819
820 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
821 work even if there is no interface carrying the
822 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
823 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
824 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
825 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
826 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000828 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
829 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
830 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
831
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100832 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
833 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
834 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
835 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
836 for existing connections, but new connections will use
837 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
838 renumbering at least possible.
839
840 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000882 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
883 which is not the primary address of an interface.
884
885 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
886
887 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
888 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
889 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
890 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
891 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
892 implementation.
893
894 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
895 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
896 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
897 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
898 set them from the make command line.
899
900 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
901 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
902
903 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
904 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

910 containing many distinct addresses.
911
912 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
913 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
914 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
915 this.
916
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000917 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
918 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
919
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000920 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
921 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
922 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
923 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
924
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000925 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
926 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
927 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
928 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000929 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000930 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
931
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000932 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
933 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
934 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
935 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
936 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
937 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
938 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
939 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
940 These will be added as the standards mature.
941 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
942 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
943 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000944
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000945 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
946 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
947 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
948 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
949 enabling with --enable-ra.
950
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000951 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
952 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
953 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
954 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

960
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000961version 2.59
962 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
963 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
964 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
965 report.
966
967 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
968 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
969 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
970 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
971 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
972 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
973 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
974 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
975 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100976
977
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100978version 2.58
979 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
980 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
981
982 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
983 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
984 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
985
986 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
987 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
988 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
989 server-deployment applications need this.
990
991 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
992 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
993 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
994 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
995 in chasing this one down.
996
997 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
998 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
999 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1000 the problem.
1001
1002 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1003 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1004 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1005 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1006 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1007 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1008
1009 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1010 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1011 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1012 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1013 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1014 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1015 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1016 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1017
1018 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1019 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1020
1021 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1022 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1023 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1024 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1025
1026 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1027 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1028
1029 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1030 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1031 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1032 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1033 Agrawal for the patch.
1034
1035 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1036 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1037 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1038 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1039 per-network values. So
1040 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1041 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1042 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1043 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1044 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1045 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1046
1047 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1048 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1049 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1050 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1051 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1052 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1053 a comprehensive test-case.
1054
1055 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1056 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr

Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001058
1059 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1060 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1061 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1062 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to

1071 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1072
1073 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1074 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1075 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1076 effectively empty on Android.
1077
1078 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1079 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1080 wildcard.
1081
1082 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1083 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1084 spotting this.
1085
1086 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1087 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1088 when i18n is included.
1089 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1090

1100 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1101 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1102 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1103 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.

1106 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1107
1108 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1109 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1110 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1111
1112 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1113 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1114 syslogd.
1115
1116 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1117 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1118 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1119
1120 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1121 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1122 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1123
1124 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1125 option, on the command line.
1126
1127 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1128 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1129
1130 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1131 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1132 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1133 to John Hallam for the patch.
1134
1135 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1136 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1137 character chunks instead.
1138
1139 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1140 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1141 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1142 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1143
1144 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1145 transfer has completed succesfully.
1146
1147 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1148 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1149 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1150 which automatically creates
1151 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1152 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1153
1154 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1155 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1156
1157 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1158 thanks for that.
1159
1160 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1161 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1162 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1163 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1164 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1165 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1166 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1167 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1168 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1169
1170 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1171 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1172 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1173 set.
1174
1175 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1176 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1177
1178 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1179 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1180 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1181
1182 Edit
1183 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1184 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1185 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1186
1187 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1188 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1189 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1190 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1191 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1192 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1193 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1194 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1195 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1196 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1197 So:
1198 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1199 --server=/google.com/#
1200 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1201 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1202 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1203 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1204 William for pointing out the need for this.
1205
1206 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1207 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1208 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1209
1210 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1211 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1212 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1213 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1214
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001215 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1237 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1238 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1239
1240 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1241 generated by gcc 4.4.
1242
1243 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1244 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1245
1246 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1247 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1248 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1249
1250 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1251 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1252 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1253 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1254 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1255 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1256 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1257 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1258 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1259 much less confusing.
1260
1261 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1262 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1263 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1264
1265 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1266
1267 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1268
1269 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1270 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1271 finding this.
1272
1273 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1274 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1275 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1276 from the client.
1277
1278 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1279 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1280 finding this.
1281
1282 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1283 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1284 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1285 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1286 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1287 server-override option.
1288
1289 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1290 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1291 allows a single line of the form
1292 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1293 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1294 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1295 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1296 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1297 interface=<interface>
1298 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1299 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1300 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1301 configuration.
1302
1303 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1304
1305 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1306 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1307
1308 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1309 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1310 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1311 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1312
1313 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1314 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1315 file, not the process/descriptor.
1316
1317 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1318 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1319
1320 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1321 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1322 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1323 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1324 this and testing the fix.
1325
1326 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1327 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1328 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1329
1330 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1331 upstream servers: this allows something like
1332 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1333 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1334 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1335 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1336
1337 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1338 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1339 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1340 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1341 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1342 work on this.
1343
1344 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1345 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1346 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1347 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1348 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1349 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1350 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1351
1352 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1353
1354 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1355 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1356 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1357 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1358 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1359 here.
1360
1361 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1362
1363 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1364 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1365
1366 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1367 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1368 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1369 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1370 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1371
1372 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1373 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1374
1375 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1376 is set.
1377
1378 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1379 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1380
1381 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1382
1383 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1384
1385 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1386
1387 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1388
1389 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1390 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1391 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1392
1393 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1394
1395
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001396version 2.52
1397 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1398 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1399 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1400 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1401 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1402 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1403 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1404 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1405
1406 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1407 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1408 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1409 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1410
1411 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1412 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1413 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1414 when dnsmasq is first started.
1415
1416 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1417 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1418 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1419 with certain clients.
1420
1421 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1422 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1423 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1424
1425 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1426 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1427 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1428 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1429 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1430 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1431 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1432 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1433 numbers delimited by dots.
1434
1435 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1436 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1437
1438 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1439 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1440
1441 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1442 contrib/Solaris10.
1443
1444 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1445 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1446 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1447 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1448 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1449 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1450 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1451
1452 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1453 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1454 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1455 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1456
1457 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1458 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1459 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1460
1461 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1462 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1463 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1464
1465 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1466 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1467 looks like this:
1468 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1469
1470 Add some application specific code to assist in
1471 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1472 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1473
1474 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1475 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1476 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1477 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1478
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001479 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001480 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1481
1482 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1483 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1484 this.
1485
1486 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1487 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1488 providing this.
1489
1490 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1491 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1492

1498
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001499 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1500 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1501 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1502 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001503

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001505version 2.51
1506 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1507 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1508 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1509 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1510 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1511 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1512 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1513 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1514 suggestion.
1515
1516 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1517 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1518 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1519 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1520 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1521 a DHCP relay, if used.
1522 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1523
1524 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1525 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1526
1527 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1528 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1529 dhcp-option-force.
1530
1531 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1532 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1533 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1534
1535 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1536 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1537 the patch.
1538
1539 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1540
1541 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1542 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1543
1544 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1545 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1546 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1547 suggestion.
1548
1549 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1550 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1551 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1552 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1553 dhcp-optsfile.
1554
1555 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1556 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1557 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1558 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1559 suggestion.
1560
1561 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1562 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1563 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1564 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1565 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1566
1567 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1568 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1569 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1570 fragmented packets.
1571
1572 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1573 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1574
1575 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001580 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer

1588 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1589 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001593version 2.49
1594 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1595 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1596
1597 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1598 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1599 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1600 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1601
1602 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001605version 2.48
1606 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1607 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1608 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001609
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001610 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1611 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1612 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001613
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001614 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1615 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1616 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001617
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001618 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1619 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1620 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1621 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001622
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001623 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1624 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001625
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001626 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1627 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1628 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1629 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001630
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001631 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1632 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1633 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001634
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001635 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1636 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1637 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001638
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001639 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001640
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001641 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1642 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1643 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1644 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1645 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1646 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1647 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1648 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1649 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001650
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001651 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1652 useful suggestions.
1653
1654 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1655 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1656 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1657
1658 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1659 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001660
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001661 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001662
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001663
1664version 2.47
1665 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1666
1667 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1668 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1669
1670 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1671 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1672 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1673
1674 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1675 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1676 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1677 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1678 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1679 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1680 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1681 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1682 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1683 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1684 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1685 Krafft for the bug report.
1686
1687 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1688
1689 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1690 Fix for this bug:
1691 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1692
1693 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1694 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1695 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1696 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1697
1698 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1699 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1700
1701 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1702
1703 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1704 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1705 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1706 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1707 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1708
1709 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1710 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1711
1712 No longer complain about blank lines in
1713 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1714
1715 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1716 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1717 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1718 for the bug report.
1719
1720 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1721 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1722 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1723 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1724
1725 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1726 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1727 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1728 as before.
1729 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1730 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1731 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1732
1733 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1734 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1735 Windows even when using supernetting.
1736 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1737 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1738 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1739 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1740
1741 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1742
1743 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1744 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1745 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1746 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1747 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1748 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1749 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001750
1751
1752version 2.46
1753 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1754 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1755 suggestion.
1756
1757 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1758 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1759 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1760 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1761 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1762
1763 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1764 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1765 based in their IP address.
1766
1767 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1768 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1769 a domain associated with each client, and only
1770 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1771 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1772 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1773 long as they are in different domains.
1774
1775 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1776 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1777 have now that it's variable.
1778
1779 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1780 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1781 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1782 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1783 potential.
1784
1785 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1786 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1787 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1788
1789 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1790 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1791
1792 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1793 which the DHCP request was received.
1794
1795 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1796 Laine for the patch.
1797
1798 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1799 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1800
1801 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1802 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1803 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1804 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1805 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1806 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1807 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1808 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1809 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1810 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1811 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1812
1813 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1814 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1815 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1816 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1817 improvement.
1818
1819 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1820 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1821 suggestions on this.
1822
1823 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1824 Fisher.
1825
1826 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1827
1828 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1829 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1830
1831 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1832
1833 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1834 up" event occurs.
1835
1836
1837version 2.45
1838 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1839 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1840 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1841 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1842
1843
1844version 2.44
1845 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1846 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1847 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1848
1849 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1850 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1851 never been reported in the wild.
1852
1853 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1854 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1855
1856 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1857 is large.
1858
1859 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1860 David Gilman.
1861
1862 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1863
1864
1865version 2.43
1866 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1867
1868 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1869 illegally.
1870
1871 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1872
1873 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1874 format.
1875
1876 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1877 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1878 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1879 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1880 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1881
1882 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1883 Rack for the bug report.
1884
1885 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1886 Bergquist.
1887
1888 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1889 option.
1890
1891 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1892 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1893
1894 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1895 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1896
1897 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1898 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1899 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1900 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1901 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1902 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1903 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1904 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1905 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1906 suggestions.
1907
1908 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1909 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1910 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1911
1912 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1913 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1914 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1915 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1916 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1917 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1918 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1919 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1920 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1921 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1922
1923 Replace the random number generator, for better
1924 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1925 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1926 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1927 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1928 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1929 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1930
1931 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1932 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1933 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1934 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1935 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1936
1937 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
