Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +00001version 2.66
2 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
3 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
4 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
5 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
6 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
7 servers to be configured.
8
9 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
10 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
11 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
12 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
13 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
14 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
15 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
16 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +000017
18 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +000019 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
20 patch.
21
22 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
23 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
24 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
25 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
26 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
27 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
28 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +000029
30 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
31 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
32 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +000033
34 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
35 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +000036 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +000037 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
38 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
39 bounty for this addition.
40
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +000041 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
42 information-requests with some common configurations.
43 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
44 chasing the problem.
45
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +000046 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
47 patch.
48
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +000049 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +000050 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +000051
52 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
53 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +000054
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +010055 Handle the situation where libc headers define
56 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
57 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
58 Felker for the bug report.
59
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +010060 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +000062
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +000063version 2.65
64 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
65 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
66 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
67
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +000068 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
69 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +000070
71 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +000072
73
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +010074version 2.64
75 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
76 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
77 spotting the problem.
78
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +010079 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
80 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
81 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
82 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
83 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
84 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
85
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +010086 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
87 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
88
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +010089 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
90 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
91
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +010092 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
93 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
94
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +000095 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +010096 Williams for the patch.
97
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +000098 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
99 Roy Marples for the patch.
100
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100101 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
102 Rodriguez for the patch.

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100104 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
105 for the patch.
106
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100107 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
108 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
109 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
110
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100111 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
112 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
113 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
114 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
115
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100116 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
117 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
118 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
119
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100120 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
121 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
122 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
123
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000124 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
125 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
126 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000127
128 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
129 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000130
131 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
132 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
133 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000134
135 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
136 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
137 without setting source address and interface, since this
138 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
139 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
140
141 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
142 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100143

Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100145version 2.63
146 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
147
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100148 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
149 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
150
151 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
152 stuff is pointless without that.
153
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100154 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
155 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
156 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100157
158 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
159 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100160
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100161 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
162 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
163 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
164 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
165 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
166 superceded by other mechanisms.
167
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100168 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
169 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
170
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100171 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
172 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
173
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100174 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100175
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100176 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
177 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
178 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
179 the suggestion.
180
181 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
182 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
183 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100184
185 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100186
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100187 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
188 which overrides the default,
189 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
190 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
191
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100192 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
193 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
194
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100195
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100196version 2.62
197 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
198
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100199 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
200 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
201
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100202 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
203 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
204 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
205
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100206 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
207 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
208 for spotting this.
209
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100210 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
211 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
212 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
213
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100214 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
215
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100216 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
217 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
218 his help nailing this.
219
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000220version 2.61
221 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
222 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
223 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
224 addresses.
225
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100226 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
227 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
228 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
229 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
230 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
231 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000232
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000233 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
234
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000235 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
236 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
237 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100238 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000239 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000240
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000241 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
242 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
243 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
244
245 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
246
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000247 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
248 suggestion.
249
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000250 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
251 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
252 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
253 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
254 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
255 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
256 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
257 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
258 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
259 Gadgil.
260
261 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
262 the above.
263
264 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
265 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000266 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
267 Forkel.
268
269 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
270 work even if there is no interface carrying the
271 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
272 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
273 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
274 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
275 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000276
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000277 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
278 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
279 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
280
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100281 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
282 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
283 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
284 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
285 for existing connections, but new connections will use
286 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
287 renumbering at least possible.
288
289 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100290 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100291

Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100305 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
306 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
307 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100308 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100330
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000331 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
332 which is not the primary address of an interface.
333
334 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
335
336 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
337 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
338 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
339 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
340 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
341 implementation.
342
343 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
344 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
345 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
346 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
347 set them from the make command line.
348
349 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
350 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
351
352 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000358 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
359 containing many distinct addresses.
360
361 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
362 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
363 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
364 this.
365
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000366 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
367 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
368
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000369 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
370 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
371 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
372 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
373
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000374 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
375 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
376 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
377 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000378 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000379 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
380
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000381 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
382 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
383 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
384 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
385 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
386 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
387 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
388 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
389 These will be added as the standards mature.
390 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
391 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
392 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000393
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000394 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
395 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
396 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
397 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
398 enabling with --enable-ra.
399
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000400 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
401 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
402 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
403 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000404
405 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

409
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000410version 2.59
411 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
412 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
413 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
414 report.
415
416 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
417 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
418 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
419 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
420 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
421 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
422 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
423 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
424 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100425
426
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100427version 2.58
428 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
429 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
430
431 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
432 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
433 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
434
435 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
436 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
437 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
438 server-deployment applications need this.
439
440 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
441 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
442 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
443 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
444 in chasing this one down.
445
446 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
447 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
448 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
449 the problem.
450
451 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
452 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
453 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
454 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
455 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
456 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
457
458 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
459 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
460 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
461 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
462 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
463 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
464 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
465 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
466
467 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
468 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
469
470 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
471 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
472 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
473 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
474
475 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
476 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
477
478 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
479 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
480 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
481 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
482 Agrawal for the patch.
483
484 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
485 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
486 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
487 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
488 per-network values. So
489 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
490 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
491 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
492 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
493 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
494 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
495
496 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
497 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
498 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
499 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
500 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
501 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
502 a comprehensive test-case.
503
504 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
505 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100506 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100507
508 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
509 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
510 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
511 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
512 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
513
514 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
515
516 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
517
518
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000519version 2.57
520 Add patches to allow build under Android.
521
522 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
523 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
524 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
525 effectively empty on Android.
526
527 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
528 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
529 wildcard.
530
531 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
532 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
533 spotting this.
534
535 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
536 IDN support continues to be included automatically
537 when i18n is included.
538 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
539
540 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
541 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
542 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
543
544
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000545version 2.56
546 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
547 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
548
549 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
550 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
551 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
552 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
553
554 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
555 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
556
557 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
558 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
559 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
560
561 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
562 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
563 syslogd.
564
565 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
566 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
567 Petrin for the orignal patch.
568
569 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
570 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
571 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
572
573 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
574 option, on the command line.
575
576 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
577 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
578
579 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
580 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
581 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
582 to John Hallam for the patch.
583
584 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
585 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
586 character chunks instead.
587
588 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
589 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
590 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
591 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
592
593 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
594 transfer has completed succesfully.
595
596 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
597 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
598 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
599 which automatically creates
600 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
601 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
602
603 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
604 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
605
606 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
607 thanks for that.
608
609 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
610 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
611 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
612 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
613 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
614 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
615 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
616 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
617 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
618
619 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
620 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
621 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
622 set.
623
624 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
625 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
626
627 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
628 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
629 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
630
631 Edit
632 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
633 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
634 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
635
636 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
637 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
638 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
639 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
640 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
641 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
642 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
643 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
644 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
645 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
646 So:
647 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
648 --server=/google.com/#
649 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
650 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
651 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
652 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
653 William for pointing out the need for this.
654
655 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
656 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
657 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
658
659 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
660 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
661 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
662 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
663
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000664 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

686 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
687 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
688
689 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
690 generated by gcc 4.4.
691
692 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
693 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
694
695 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
696 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
697 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
698
699 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
700 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
701 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
702 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
703 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
704 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
705 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
706 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
707 the documentation and new-style config files should be
708 much less confusing.
709
710 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
711 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
712 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
713
714 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
715
716 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
717
718 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
719 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
720 finding this.
721
722 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
723 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
724 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
725 from the client.
726
727 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
728 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
729 finding this.
730
731 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
732 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
733 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
734 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
735 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
736 server-override option.
737
738 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
739 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
740 allows a single line of the form
741 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
742 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
743 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
744 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
745 irrespective of the existance or lack of
746 interface=<interface>
747 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
748 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
749 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
750 configuration.
751
752 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
753
754 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
755 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
756
757 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
758 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
759 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
760 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
761
762 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
763 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
764 file, not the process/descriptor.
765
766 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
767 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
768
769 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
770 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
771 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
772 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
773 this and testing the fix.
774
775 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
776 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
777 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
778
779 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
780 upstream servers: this allows something like
781 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
782 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
783 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
784 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
785
786 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
787 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
788 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
789 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
790 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
791 work on this.
792
793 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
794 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
795 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
796 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
797 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
798 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
799 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
800
801 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
802
803 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
804 than one server available for a domain, eg.
805 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
806 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
807 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
808 here.
809
810 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
811
812 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
813 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
814
815 Fix regression which caused configuration like
816 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
817 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
818 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
819 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
820
821 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
822 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
823
824 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
825 is set.
826
827 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
828 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
829

837
838 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
839 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
840 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
841
842 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000845version 2.52
846 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
847 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
848 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
849 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
850 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
851 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
852 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
853 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
854
855 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
856 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
857 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
858 necessary for some *WRT distros.
859
860 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
861 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
862 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
863 when dnsmasq is first started.
864
865 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
866 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
867 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
868 with certain clients.
869
870 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
871 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
872 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
873
874 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
875 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
876 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
877 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
878 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
879 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
880 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
881 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
882 numbers delimited by dots.
883
884 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
885 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
886
887 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
888 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
889
890 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
891 contrib/Solaris10.
892
893 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
894 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
895 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
896 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
897 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
898 addresses available in such an installation removes a
899 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
900
901 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
902 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
903 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
904 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
905
906 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
907 the lease-change script in the environment variable
908 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
909
910 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
911 Options". The syntax looks like this:
912 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
913
914 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
915 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
916 looks like this:
917 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
918
919 Add some application specific code to assist in
920 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
921 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
922
923 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
924 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
925 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
926 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
927
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100928 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000929 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
930
931 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
932 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
933 this.
934
935 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
936 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
937 providing this.
938
939 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
940 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
941
942 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
943
944 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
945
946 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
947
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100948 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
949 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
950 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
951 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000952
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100953
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100954version 2.51
955 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
956 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
957 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
958 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
959 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
960 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
961 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
962 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
963 suggestion.
964
965 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
966 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
967 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
968 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
969 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
970 a DHCP relay, if used.
971 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
972
973 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
974 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
975
976 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
977 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
978 dhcp-option-force.
979
980 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
981 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
982 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
983
984 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
985 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
986 the patch.
987
988 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
989
990 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
991 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
992
993 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
994 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
995 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
996 suggestion.
997
998 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
999 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1000 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1001 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1002 dhcp-optsfile.
1003
1004 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1005 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1006 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1007 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1008 suggestion.
1009
1010 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1011 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1012 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1013 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1014 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1015
1016 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1017 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1018 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1019 fragmented packets.
1020
1021 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1022 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1023
1024 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001028 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001029 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1030 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1031 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1032 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1033 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1034 and CVE: 2009-2957
1035
1036 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1037 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1038 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1039 CVE: 2009-2958

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001042version 2.49
1043 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1044 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1045
1046 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1047 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1048 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1049 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1050
1051 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001054version 2.48
1055 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1056 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1057 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001058
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001059 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1060 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1061 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001062
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001063 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1064 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1065 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001066
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001067 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1068 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1069 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1070 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001071
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001072 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1073 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001074
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001075 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1076 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1077 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1078 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001079
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001080 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1081 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1082 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001083
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001084 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1085 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1086 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001087
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001088 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001089
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001090 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1091 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1092 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1093 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1094 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1095 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1096 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1097 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1098 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001099
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001100 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1101 useful suggestions.
1102
1103 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1104 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1105 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1106
1107 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1108 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001109

1113version 2.47
1114 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1115
1116 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1117 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1118
1119 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1120 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1121 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1122
1123 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1124 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1125 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1126 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1127 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1128 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1129 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1130 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1131 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1132 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1133 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1134 Krafft for the bug report.
1135
1136 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1137
1138 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1139 Fix for this bug:
1140 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1141
1142 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1143 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1144 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1145 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1146
1147 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1148 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1149
1150 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1151
1152 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1153 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1154 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1155 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1156 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1157
1158 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1159 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1160
1161 No longer complain about blank lines in
1162 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1163
1164 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1165 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1166 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1167 for the bug report.
1168
1169 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1170 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1171 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1172 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1173
1174 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1175 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1176 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1177 as before.
1178 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1179 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1180 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1181
1182 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1183 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1184 Windows even when using supernetting.
1185 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1186 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1187 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1188 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1189
1190 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1191
1192 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1193 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1194 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1195 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1196 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1197 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1198 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001199
1200
1201version 2.46
1202 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1203 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1204 suggestion.
1205
1206 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1207 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1208 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1209 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1210 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1211
1212 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1213 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1214 based in their IP address.
1215
1216 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1217 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1218 a domain associated with each client, and only
1219 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1220 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1221 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1222 long as they are in different domains.
1223
1224 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1225 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1226 have now that it's variable.
1227
1228 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1229 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1230 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1231 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1232 potential.
1233
1234 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1235 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1236 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1237
1238 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1239 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1240
1241 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1242 which the DHCP request was received.
1243
1244 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1245 Laine for the patch.
1246
1247 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1248 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1249
1250 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1251 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1252 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1253 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1254 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1255 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1256 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1257 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1258 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1259 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1260 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1261
1262 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1263 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1264 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1265 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1266 improvement.
1267
1268 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1269 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1270 suggestions on this.
1271
1272 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1273 Fisher.
1274
1275 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1276
1277 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1278 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1279
1280 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1281
1282 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1283 up" event occurs.
1284
1285
1286version 2.45
1287 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1288 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1289 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1290 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1291
1292
1293version 2.44
1294 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1295 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1296 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1297
1298 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1299 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1300 never been reported in the wild.
1301
1302 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1303 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1304
1305 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1306 is large.
1307
1308 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1309 David Gilman.
1310
1311 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1312
1313
1314version 2.43
1315 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1316
1317 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1318 illegally.
1319
1320 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1321
1322 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1323 format.
1324
1325 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1326 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1327 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1328 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1329 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1330
1331 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1332 Rack for the bug report.
1333
1334 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1335 Bergquist.
1336
1337 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1338 option.
1339
1340 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1341 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1342
1343 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1344 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1345
1346 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1347 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1348 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1349 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1350 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1351 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1352 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1353 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1354 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1355 suggestions.
1356
1357 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1358 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1359 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1360
1361 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1362 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1363 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1364 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1365 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1366 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1367 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1368 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1369 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1370 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1371
1372 Replace the random number generator, for better
1373 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1374 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1375 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1376 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1377 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1378 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1379
1380 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1381 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1382 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1383 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1384 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1385
1386 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
