Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +01007 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
8 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
9 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.

Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +010018version 2.71
19 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
20 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
21 non-existent DS records.
22
23 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
24 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
25 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
26 report.
27
28 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
29 for spotting that too.
30
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +010031 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
32 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
33 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.

Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +010036version 2.70
37 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
38 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
39 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
40
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +010041 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
42 Wang Jian for the bug report.

Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +000045version 2.69
46 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
47 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
48 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
49 valuable research on how to implement this.
50
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +000051 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +000052 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +000053
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +000054 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
55 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
56 for spotting the problem.
57
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +000058 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
59 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
60 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
61 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
62 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
63
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000064 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
65 compiled with this enabled, with
66
67 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
68
69 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
70 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
71 statically with
72
73 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
74
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +010075 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
76 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
77
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000078 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
79 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
80 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
81 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
82 distribution. You should of course check that these are
83 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
84
85 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
86 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +000087
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000088 to your config is all thats needed to get things
89 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
90 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
91 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
92 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
93 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
94 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
95 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
96 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
97 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
98 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
99 records, which significantly improve the performance of
100 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
101 DNSSEC in action.
102
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100103 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
104 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
105 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
106 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
107 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
108 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
109 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
110 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
111 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
112 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
113 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
114 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
115 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
116 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
117 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
118 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
119
120 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
121 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
122 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
123 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
124 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
125 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
126 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
127 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
128 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
129 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
130 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
131 henceforward will be complete.
132
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000133 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
134 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
135 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
136 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
137 a workable state.
138
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000139 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000140
141 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
142 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000143
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000144 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
145 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
146 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000147 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000148 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
149 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
150 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
151 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
152
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000153 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
154 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
155 find this and helping to chase it down.
156
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100157 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
158 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
159 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
160
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100161 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
162 well as logging them.
163
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000164
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000165version 2.68
166 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
167 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
168 addresses.
169
170 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
171 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
172 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
173 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
174 restarted, this bug disappeared.
175
176 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
177 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
178
179 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
180
181 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
182 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
183 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
184 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
185 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
186 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
187 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
188 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
189 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
190 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
191 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
192 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
193 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000194
195 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
196 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
197 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
198 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000199
200 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
201 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
202
203 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
204 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000205
206 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
207 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
208 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
209 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
210 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000211
212 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
213 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
214 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
215 corresponding address on the local interface.
216

Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100218version 2.67
219 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
220 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
221 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100222
223 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
224 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
225 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
226 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
227 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
228 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
229 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
230 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100231
232 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
233 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
234 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100235
236 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
237 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100238
239 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
240 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100241
242 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
243 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
244 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
245 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
246 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
247 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
248 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
249 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100250
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100251 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
252 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
253 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
254 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
255 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100256
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100257 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
258 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
259
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100260 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
261 spurious error when all seven possible items were
262 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100263
264 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
265 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
266
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100267 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
268 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
269
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100270 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
271 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
272 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
273 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
274 report.
275
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100276 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
277 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
278 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
279
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100280 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero
Simon Kelley3953dcc2013-07-03 20:40:45 +0100281 terminator. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the bug report.
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100282
Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100283 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
284 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
285
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100286 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
287 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
288 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
289 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
290
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100291 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
292 via DBus too.
293
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100294 When the address which triggered the construction of an
295 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
296 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
297 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
298 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
299 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
300 arguing for this.
301
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100302 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
303 for the bug report.

Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100305 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
306 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
307 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
308 for suggesting this.
309
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100310 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
311 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
312
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100313 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
314 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
315 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
316 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
317 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
318
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100319 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
320 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100321
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100322 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
323 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
324
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100325 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
326 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
327 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
328
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100329 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
330 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
331
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100332 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
333 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
334 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
335 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
336 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100337
338 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
339 address must be either the first or last address in the
340 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
341 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100342
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100343 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Tanguy Bouzelocef1d7422013-10-03 11:06:31 +0100345 Fix problem in DHCPv6 vendorclass/userclass matching
346 code. Thanks to Tanguy Bouzeloc for the patch.

Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100350 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
351 inspiration on this.
352
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100353 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100354 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
355 for sponsoring this feature.

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100357 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
358 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
359
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100360 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
361 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
362 suggestion.
363
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100364 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
365 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000373version 2.66
374 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
375 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
376 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
377 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
378 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
379 servers to be configured.
380
381 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
382 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
383 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
384 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
385 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
386 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
387 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
388 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000389
390 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000391 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
392 patch.
393
394 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
395 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
396 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
397 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
398 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
399 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
400 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000401
402 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
403 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
404 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000405
406 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
407 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000408 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000409 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
410 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
411 bounty for this addition.
412
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000413 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6

454 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
455 spotting the problem.
456
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100457 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
458 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
459 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
460 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
461 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
462 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
463

530 stuff is pointless without that.
531
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100532 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100539 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
540 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
541 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
542 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
543 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
544 superceded by other mechanisms.

601 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
602 addresses.
603
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100604 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
605 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
606 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
607 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to

620 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
621 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
622
623 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
624

Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000628 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
629 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
630 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
631 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
632 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
633 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
634 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
635 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
636 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
637 Gadgil.
638
639 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
640 the above.

645 Forkel.
646
647 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
648 work even if there is no interface carrying the
649 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
650 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
651 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
652 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
653 the idea and initial patch.

657 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.

Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100659 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
660 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
661 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
662 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
663 for existing connections, but new connections will use
664 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
665 renumbering at least possible.
666
667 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000709 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
710 which is not the primary address of an interface.
711
712 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
713
714 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
715 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
716 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
717 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
718 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
719 implementation.
720
721 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
722 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
723 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
724 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
725 set them from the make command line.
726
727 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
728 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
729
730 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
731 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
732
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000733 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
734 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000735
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000736 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
737 containing many distinct addresses.
738
739 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
740 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
741 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
742 this.
743
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000744 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
745 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
746
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000747 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
748 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
749 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
750 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
751
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000752 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
753 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
754 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
755 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000756 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000757 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
758
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000759 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
760 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
761 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
762 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
763 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
764 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
765 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
766 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
767 These will be added as the standards mature.
768 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
769 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
770 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000771
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000772 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
773 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
774 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
775 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
776 enabling with --enable-ra.
777
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000778 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
779 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
780 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
781 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000782
783 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000784
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000785 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
786
787
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000788version 2.59
789 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
790 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
791 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
792 report.
793
794 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
795 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
796 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
797 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
798 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
799 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
800 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
801 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
802 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100803
804
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100805version 2.58
806 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
807 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
808
809 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
810 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
811 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
812
813 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
814 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
815 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
816 server-deployment applications need this.
817
818 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
819 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
820 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
821 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
822 in chasing this one down.
823
824 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
825 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
826 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
827 the problem.
828
829 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
830 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
831 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
832 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
833 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
834 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
835
836 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
837 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
838 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
839 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
840 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
841 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
842 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
843 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
844
845 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
846 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
847
848 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
849 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
850 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
851 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
852
853 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
854 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
855
856 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
857 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
858 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
859 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
860 Agrawal for the patch.
861
862 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
863 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
864 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
865 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
866 per-network values. So
867 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
868 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
869 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
870 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
871 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
872 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
873
874 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
875 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
876 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
877 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
878 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
879 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
880 a comprehensive test-case.
881
882 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
883 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100884 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100885
886 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
887 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
888 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
889 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
890 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
891
892 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
893
894 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
895
896
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000897version 2.57
898 Add patches to allow build under Android.
899
900 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
901 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
902 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
903 effectively empty on Android.
904
905 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
906 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
907 wildcard.
908
909 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
910 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
911 spotting this.
912
913 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
914 IDN support continues to be included automatically
915 when i18n is included.
916 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
917
918 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
919 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
920 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
921
922
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000923version 2.56
924 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
925 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
926
927 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
928 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
929 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
930 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
931
932 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
933 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
934
935 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
936 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
937 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
938
939 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
940 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
941 syslogd.
942
943 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
944 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
945 Petrin for the orignal patch.
946
947 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
948 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
949 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
950
951 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
952 option, on the command line.
953
954 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
955 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
956
957 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
958 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
959 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
960 to John Hallam for the patch.
961
962 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
963 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
964 character chunks instead.
965
966 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
967 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
968 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
969 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
970
971 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
972 transfer has completed succesfully.
973
974 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
975 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
976 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
977 which automatically creates
978 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
979 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
980
981 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
982 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
983
984 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
985 thanks for that.
986
987 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
988 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
989 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
990 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
991 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
992 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
993 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
994 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
995 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
996
997 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
998 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
999 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1000 set.
1001
1002 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1003 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1004
1005 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1006 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1007 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1008
1009 Edit
1010 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1011 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1012 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1013
1014 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1015 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1016 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1017 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1018 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1019 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1020 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1021 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1022 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1023 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1024 So:
1025 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1026 --server=/google.com/#
1027 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1028 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1029 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1030 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1031 William for pointing out the need for this.
1032
1033 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1034 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1035 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1036
1037 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1038 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1039 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1040 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1041
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001042 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
1043 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks

Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001050
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001051 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
1052 finding this one.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001053
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001054 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)
1055 options.

1058version 2.54
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001059 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
1060 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.

1062
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001063version 2.53
1064 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1065 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1066
1067 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1068 generated by gcc 4.4.
1069
1070 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1071 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1072
1073 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1074 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1075 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1076
1077 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1078 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1079 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1080 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1081 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1082 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1083 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1084 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1085 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1086 much less confusing.
1087
1088 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1089 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1090 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1091
1092 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1093
1094 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1095
1096 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1097 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1098 finding this.
1099
1100 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1101 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1102 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1103 from the client.
1104
1105 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1106 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1107 finding this.
1108
1109 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1110 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1111 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1112 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1113 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1114 server-override option.
1115
1116 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1117 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1118 allows a single line of the form
1119 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1120 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1121 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1122 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1123 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1124 interface=<interface>
1125 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1126 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1127 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1128 configuration.
1129
1130 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1131
1132 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1133 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1134
1135 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1136 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1137 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1138 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1139
1140 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1141 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1142 file, not the process/descriptor.
1143
1144 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1145 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1146
1147 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1148 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1149 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1150 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1151 this and testing the fix.
1152
1153 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1154 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1155 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1156
1157 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1158 upstream servers: this allows something like
1159 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1160 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1161 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1162 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1163
1164 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1165 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1166 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1167 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1168 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1169 work on this.
1170
1171 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1172 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1173 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1174 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1175 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1176 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1177 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1178
1179 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1180
1181 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1182 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1183 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1184 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1185 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1186 here.
1187
1188 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1189
1190 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1191 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1192
1193 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1194 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1195 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1196 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1197 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1198
1199 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1200 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1201
1202 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1203 is set.
1204
1205 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1206 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1207
1208 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1209
1210 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1211
1212 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1213
1214 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1215
1216 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1217 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1218 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1219
1220 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1222
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001223version 2.52
1224 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1225 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1226 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1227 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1228 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1229 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1230 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1231 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1232
1233 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1234 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1235 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1236 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1237
1238 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1239 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1240 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1241 when dnsmasq is first started.
1242
1243 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1244 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1245 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1246 with certain clients.
1247
1248 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1249 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1250 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1251
1252 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1253 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1254 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1255 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1256 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1257 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1258 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1259 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1260 numbers delimited by dots.
1261
1262 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1263 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1264
1265 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1266 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1267
1268 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1269 contrib/Solaris10.
1270
1271 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1272 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1273 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1274 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1275 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1276 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1277 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1278
1279 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1280 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1281 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1282 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1283
1284 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1285 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1286 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1287
1288 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1289 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1290 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1291
1292 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1293 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1294 looks like this:
1295 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1296
1297 Add some application specific code to assist in
1298 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1299 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1300
1301 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1302 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1303 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1304 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1305
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001306 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001307 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1308
1309 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1310 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1311 this.
1312
1313 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1314 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1315 providing this.
1316
1317 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1318 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1319
1320 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1321
1322 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1323
1324 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1325
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001326 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1327 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1328 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1329 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001330
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001331
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001332version 2.51
1333 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1334 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1335 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1336 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1337 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1338 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1339 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1340 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1341 suggestion.
1342
1343 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1344 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1345 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1346 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1347 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1348 a DHCP relay, if used.
1349 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1350
1351 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1352 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1353
1354 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1355 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1356 dhcp-option-force.
1357
1358 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1359 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1360 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1361
1362 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1363 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1364 the patch.
1365
1366 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1367
1368 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1369 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1370
1371 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1372 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1373 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1374 suggestion.
1375
1376 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1377 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1378 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1379 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1380 dhcp-optsfile.
1381
1382 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1383 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1384 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1385 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1386 suggestion.
1387
1388 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1389 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1390 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1391 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1392 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1393
1394 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1395 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1396 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1397 fragmented packets.
1398
1399 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1400 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1401
1402 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001406 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001407 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1408 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1409 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1410 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1411 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1412 and CVE: 2009-2957
1413
1414 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1415 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1416 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1417 CVE: 2009-2958

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001420version 2.49
1421 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1422 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1423
1424 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1425 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1426 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1427 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1428
1429 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001432version 2.48
1433 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1434 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1435 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001436
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001437 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1438 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1439 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001440
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001441 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1442 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1443 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001444
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001445 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1446 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1447 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1448 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001449
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001450 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1451 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001452
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001453 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1454 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1455 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1456 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001457
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001458 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1459 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1460 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001461
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001462 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1463 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1464 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001465
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001466 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001467
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001468 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1469 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1470 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1471 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1472 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1473 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1474 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1475 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1476 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001477
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001478 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1479 useful suggestions.
1480
1481 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1482 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1483 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1484
1485 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1486 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001487
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001488 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1491version 2.47
1492 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1493
1494 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1495 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1496
1497 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1498 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1499 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1500
1501 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1502 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1503 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1504 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1505 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1506 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1507 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1508 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1509 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1510 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1511 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1512 Krafft for the bug report.
1513
1514 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1515
1516 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1517 Fix for this bug:
1518 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1519
1520 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1521 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1522 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1523 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1524
1525 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1526 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1527
1528 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1529
1530 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1531 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1532 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1533 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1534 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1535
1536 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1537 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1538
1539 No longer complain about blank lines in
1540 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1541
1542 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1543 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1544 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1545 for the bug report.
1546
1547 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1548 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1549 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1550 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1551
1552 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1553 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1554 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1555 as before.
1556 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1557 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1558 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1559
1560 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1561 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1562 Windows even when using supernetting.
1563 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1564 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1565 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1566 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1567
1568 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1569
1570 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1571 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1572 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1573 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1574 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1575 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1576 dnsmasq.

1579version 2.46
1580 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1581 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1582 suggestion.
1583
1584 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1585 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1586 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1587 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1588 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1589
1590 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1591 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1592 based in their IP address.
1593
1594 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1595 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1596 a domain associated with each client, and only
1597 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1598 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1599 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1600 long as they are in different domains.
1601
1602 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1603 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1604 have now that it's variable.
1605
1606 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1607 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1608 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1609 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1610 potential.
1611
1612 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1613 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1614 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1615
1616 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1617 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1618
1619 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1620 which the DHCP request was received.
1621
1622 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1623 Laine for the patch.
1624
1625 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1626 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1627
1628 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1629 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1630 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1631 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1632 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1633 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1634 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1635 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1636 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1637 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1638 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1639
1640 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1641 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1642 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1643 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1644 improvement.
1645
1646 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1647 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1648 suggestions on this.
1649
1650 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1651 Fisher.
1652
1653 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1654
1655 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1656 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1657
1658 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1659
1660 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1661 up" event occurs.
1662
1663
1664version 2.45
1665 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1666 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1667 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1668 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1669
1670
1671version 2.44
1672 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1673 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1674 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1675
1676 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1677 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1678 never been reported in the wild.
1679
1680 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1681 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1682
1683 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1684 is large.
1685
1686 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1687 David Gilman.
1688
1689 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1690
1691
1692version 2.43
1693 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1694
1695 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1696 illegally.
1697
1698 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1699
1700 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1701 format.
1702
1703 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1704 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1705 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1706 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1707 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1708
1709 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1710 Rack for the bug report.
1711
1712 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1713 Bergquist.
1714
1715 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1716 option.
1717
1718 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1719 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1720
1721 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1722 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1723
1724 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1725 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1726 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1727 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1728 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1729 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1730 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1731 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1732 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1733 suggestions.
1734
1735 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1736 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1737 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1738
1739 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1740 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1741 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1742 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1743 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1744 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1745 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1746 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1747 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1748 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1749
1750 Replace the random number generator, for better
1751 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1752 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1753 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1754 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1755 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1756 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1757
1758 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1759 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1760 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1761 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1762 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1763
1764 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
