Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +01001version 2.67
2 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
3 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
4 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +01005
6 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
7 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
8 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
9 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
10 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
11 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
12 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
13 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +010014
15 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
16 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
17 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +010018
19 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
20 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +010021
22 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
23 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +010024
25 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
26 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
27 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
28 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
29 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
30 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
31 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
32 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010033
34
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +000035version 2.66
36 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
37 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
38 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
39 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
40 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
41 servers to be configured.
42
43 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
44 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
45 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
46 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
47 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
48 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
49 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
50 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +000051
52 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +000053 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
54 patch.
55
56 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
57 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
58 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
59 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
60 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
61 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
62 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +000063
64 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
65 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
66 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +000067
68 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
69 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +000070 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +000071 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
72 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
73 bounty for this addition.
74
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +000075 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
76 information-requests with some common configurations.
77 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
78 chasing the problem.
79
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +000080 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
81 patch.
82
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +000083 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +000084 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +000085
86 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
87 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +000088
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +010089 Handle the situation where libc headers define
90 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
91 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
92 Felker for the bug report.
93
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +010094 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +010095
96 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
97 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
98 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +010099
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100100 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
101
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000102
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000103version 2.65
104 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
105 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
106 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
107
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000108 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
109 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000110
111 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000112
113
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100114version 2.64
115 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
116 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
117 spotting the problem.
118
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100119 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
120 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
121 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
122 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
123 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
124 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
125
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100126 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
127 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
128
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100129 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
130 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
131
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100132 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
133 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
134
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000135 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100136 Williams for the patch.
137
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000138 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
139 Roy Marples for the patch.
140
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100141 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
142 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100143
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100144 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
145 for the patch.
146
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100147 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
148 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
149 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
150
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100151 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
152 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
153 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
154 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
155
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100156 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
157 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
158 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
159
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100160 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
161 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
162 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
163
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000164 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
165 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
166 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000167
168 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
169 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000170
171 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
172 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
173 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000174
175 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
176 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
177 without setting source address and interface, since this
178 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
179 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
180
181 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
182 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100183
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000184
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100185version 2.63
186 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
187
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100188 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
189 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
190
191 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
192 stuff is pointless without that.
193
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100194 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
195 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
196 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100197
198 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
199 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100200
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100201 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
202 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
203 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
204 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
205 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
206 superceded by other mechanisms.
207
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100208 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
209 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
210
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100211 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
212 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
213
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100214 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100215
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100216 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
217 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
218 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
219 the suggestion.
220
221 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
222 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
223 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100224
225 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100226
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100227 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
228 which overrides the default,
229 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
230 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
231
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100232 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
233 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
234
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100235
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100236version 2.62
237 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
238
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100239 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
240 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
241
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100242 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
243 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
244 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
245
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100246 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
247 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
248 for spotting this.
249
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100250 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
251 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
252 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
253
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100254 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
255
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100256 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
257 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
258 his help nailing this.
259
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000260version 2.61
261 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
262 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
263 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
264 addresses.
265
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100266 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
267 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
268 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
269 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
270 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
271 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000272
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000273 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
274
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000275 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
276 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
277 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100278 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000279 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000280
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000281 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
282 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
283 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
284
285 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
286
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000287 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
288 suggestion.
289
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000290 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
291 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
292 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
293 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
294 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
295 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
296 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
297 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
298 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
299 Gadgil.
300
301 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
302 the above.
303
304 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
305 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000306 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
307 Forkel.
308
309 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
310 work even if there is no interface carrying the
311 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
312 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
313 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
314 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
315 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000316
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000317 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
318 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
319 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
320
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100321 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
322 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
323 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
324 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
325 for existing connections, but new connections will use
326 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
327 renumbering at least possible.
328
329 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100330 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100331
332 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
333 using the settings provided for DHCP options
334 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +0100335
336 Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
337 SamLT for work on this.
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100338
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100339 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
340 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
341 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100342
343 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100344 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100345 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
346 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
347 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100348 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
349
350 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +0100351

Simon Kelleyfc92ead2012-04-22 21:28:24 +0100355 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the

358 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
359 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100360 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina

369 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100370
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000371 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
372 which is not the primary address of an interface.
373
374 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
375
376 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
377 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
378 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
379 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
380 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
381 implementation.
382
383 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
384 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
385 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
386 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
387 set them from the make command line.
388
389 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
390 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
391
392 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
393 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
394
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000395 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
396 release tags or hash values.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000398 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
399 containing many distinct addresses.
400
401 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
402 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
403 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
404 this.
405
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000406 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
407 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
408
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000409 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
410 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
411 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
412 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
413
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000414 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
415 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
416 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
417 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000418 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000419 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
420
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000421 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
422 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
423 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
424 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
425 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
426 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
427 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
428 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
429 These will be added as the standards mature.
430 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
431 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
432 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000433
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000434 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
435 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
436 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
437 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
438 enabling with --enable-ra.
439
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000440 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
441 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
442 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
443 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000444

449
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000450version 2.59
451 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
452 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
453 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
454 report.
455
456 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
457 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
458 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
459 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
460 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
461 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
462 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
463 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
464 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100465
466
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100467version 2.58
468 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
469 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
470
471 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
472 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
473 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
474
475 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
476 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
477 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
478 server-deployment applications need this.
479
480 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
481 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
482 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
483 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
484 in chasing this one down.
485
486 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
487 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
488 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
489 the problem.
490
491 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
492 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
493 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
494 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
495 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
496 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
497
498 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
499 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
500 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
501 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
502 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
503 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
504 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
505 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
506
507 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
508 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
509
510 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
511 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
512 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
513 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
514
515 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
516 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
517
518 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
519 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
520 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
521 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
522 Agrawal for the patch.
523
524 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
525 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
526 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
527 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
528 per-network values. So
529 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
530 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
531 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
532 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
533 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
534 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
535
536 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
537 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
538 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
539 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
540 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
541 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
542 a comprehensive test-case.
543
544 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
545 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100546 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100547
548 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
549 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
550 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
551 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
552 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
553
554 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
555
556 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
557
558
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000559version 2.57
560 Add patches to allow build under Android.
561
562 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
563 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
564 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
565 effectively empty on Android.
566
567 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
568 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
569 wildcard.
570
571 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
572 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
573 spotting this.
574
575 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
576 IDN support continues to be included automatically
577 when i18n is included.
578 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
579
580 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
581 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
582 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
583
584
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000585version 2.56
586 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
587 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
588
589 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
590 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
591 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
592 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
593
594 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
595 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
596
597 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
598 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
599 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
600
601 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
602 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
603 syslogd.
604
605 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
606 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
607 Petrin for the orignal patch.
608
609 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
610 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
611 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
612
613 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
614 option, on the command line.
615
616 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
617 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
618
619 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
620 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
621 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
622 to John Hallam for the patch.
623
624 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
625 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
626 character chunks instead.
627
628 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
629 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
630 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
631 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
632
633 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
634 transfer has completed succesfully.
635
636 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
637 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
638 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
639 which automatically creates
640 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
641 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
642
643 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
644 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
645
646 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
647 thanks for that.
648
649 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
650 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
651 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
652 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
653 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
654 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
655 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
656 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
657 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
658
659 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
660 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
661 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
662 set.
663
664 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
665 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
666
667 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
668 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
669 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
670
671 Edit
672 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
673 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
674 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
675
676 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
677 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
678 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
679 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
680 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
681 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
682 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
683 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
684 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
685 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
686 So:
687 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
688 --server=/google.com/#
689 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
690 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
691 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
692 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
693 William for pointing out the need for this.
694
695 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
696 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
697 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
698
699 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
700 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
701 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
702 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
703

726 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
727 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
728
729 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
730 generated by gcc 4.4.
731
732 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
733 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
734
735 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
736 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
737 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
738
739 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
740 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
741 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
742 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
743 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
744 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
745 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
746 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
747 the documentation and new-style config files should be
748 much less confusing.
749
750 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
751 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
752 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
753
754 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
755
756 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
757
758 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
759 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
760 finding this.
761
762 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
763 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
764 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
765 from the client.
766
767 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
768 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
769 finding this.
770
771 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
772 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
773 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
774 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
775 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
776 server-override option.
777
778 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
779 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
780 allows a single line of the form
781 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
782 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
783 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
784 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
785 irrespective of the existance or lack of
786 interface=<interface>
787 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
788 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
789 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
790 configuration.
791
792 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
793
794 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
795 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
796
797 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
798 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
799 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
800 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
801
802 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
803 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
804 file, not the process/descriptor.
805
806 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
807 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
808
809 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
810 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
811 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
812 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
813 this and testing the fix.
814
815 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
816 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
817 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
818
819 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
820 upstream servers: this allows something like
821 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
822 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
823 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
824 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
825
826 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
827 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
828 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
829 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
830 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
831 work on this.
832
833 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
834 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
835 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
836 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
837 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
838 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
839 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
840
841 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
842
843 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
844 than one server available for a domain, eg.
845 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
846 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
847 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
848 here.
849
850 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
851
852 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
853 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
854
855 Fix regression which caused configuration like
856 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
857 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
858 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
859 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
860
861 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
862 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
863
864 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
865 is set.
866
867 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
868 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
869
870 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
871
872 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
873
874 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
875
876 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
877
878 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
879 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
880 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
881
882 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
883
884
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000885version 2.52
886 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
887 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
888 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
889 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
890 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
891 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
892 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
893 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
894
895 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
896 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
897 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
898 necessary for some *WRT distros.
899
900 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
901 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
902 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
903 when dnsmasq is first started.
904
905 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
906 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
907 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
908 with certain clients.
909
910 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
911 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
912 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
913
914 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
915 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
916 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
917 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
918 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
919 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
920 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
921 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
922 numbers delimited by dots.
923
924 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
925 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
926
927 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
928 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
929
930 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
931 contrib/Solaris10.
932
933 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
934 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
935 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
936 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
937 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
938 addresses available in such an installation removes a
939 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
940
941 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
942 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
943 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
944 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
945
946 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
947 the lease-change script in the environment variable
948 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
949
950 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
951 Options". The syntax looks like this:
952 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
953
954 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
955 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
956 looks like this:
957 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
958
959 Add some application specific code to assist in
960 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
961 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
962
963 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
964 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
965 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
966 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
967
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100968 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000969 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
970
971 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
972 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
973 this.
974
975 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
976 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
977 providing this.
978
979 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
980 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
981
982 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
983
984 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
985
986 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
987
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100988 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
989 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
990 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
991 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000992
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100993
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100994version 2.51
995 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
996 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
997 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
998 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
999 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1000 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1001 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1002 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1003 suggestion.
1004
1005 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1006 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1007 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1008 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1009 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1010 a DHCP relay, if used.
1011 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1012
1013 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1014 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1015
1016 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1017 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1018 dhcp-option-force.
1019
1020 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1021 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1022 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1023
1024 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1025 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1026 the patch.
1027
1028 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1029
1030 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1031 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1032
1033 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1034 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1035 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1036 suggestion.
1037
1038 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1039 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1040 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1041 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1042 dhcp-optsfile.
1043
1044 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1045 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1046 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1047 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1048 suggestion.
1049
1050 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1051 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1052 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1053 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1054 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1055
1056 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1057 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1058 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1059 fragmented packets.
1060
1061 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1062 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1063
1064 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001068 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001069 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1070 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1071 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1072 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1073 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1074 and CVE: 2009-2957
1075
1076 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1077 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1078 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1079 CVE: 2009-2958

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001082version 2.49
1083 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1084 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1085
1086 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1087 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1088 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1089 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1090
1091 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001094version 2.48
1095 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1096 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1097 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001098
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001099 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1100 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1101 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001102
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001103 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1104 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1105 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001106
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001107 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1108 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1109 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1110 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001111
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001112 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1113 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001114
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001115 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1116 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1117 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1118 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001119
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001120 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1121 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1122 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001123
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001124 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1125 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1126 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001127
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001128 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001129
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001130 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1131 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1132 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1133 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1134 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1135 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1136 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1137 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1138 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001139
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001140 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1141 useful suggestions.
1142
1143 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1144 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1145 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1146
1147 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1148 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001149

1153version 2.47
1154 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1155
1156 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1157 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1158
1159 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1160 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1161 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1162
1163 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1164 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1165 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1166 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1167 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1168 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1169 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1170 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1171 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1172 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1173 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1174 Krafft for the bug report.
1175
1176 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1177
1178 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1179 Fix for this bug:
1180 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1181
1182 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1183 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1184 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1185 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1186
1187 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1188 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1189
1190 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1191
1192 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1193 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1194 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1195 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1196 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1197
1198 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1199 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1200
1201 No longer complain about blank lines in
1202 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1203
1204 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1205 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1206 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1207 for the bug report.
1208
1209 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1210 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1211 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1212 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1213
1214 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1215 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1216 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1217 as before.
1218 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1219 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1220 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1221
1222 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1223 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1224 Windows even when using supernetting.
1225 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1226 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1227 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1228 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1229
1230 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1231
1232 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1233 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1234 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1235 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1236 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1237 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1238 dnsmasq.

1241version 2.46
1242 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1243 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1244 suggestion.
1245
1246 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1247 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1248 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1249 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1250 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1251
1252 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1253 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1254 based in their IP address.
1255
1256 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1257 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1258 a domain associated with each client, and only
1259 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1260 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1261 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1262 long as they are in different domains.
1263
1264 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1265 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1266 have now that it's variable.
1267
1268 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1269 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1270 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1271 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1272 potential.
1273
1274 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1275 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1276 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1277
1278 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1279 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1280
1281 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1282 which the DHCP request was received.
1283
1284 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1285 Laine for the patch.
1286
1287 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1288 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1289
1290 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1291 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1292 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1293 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1294 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1295 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1296 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1297 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1298 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1299 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1300 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1301
1302 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1303 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1304 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1305 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1306 improvement.
1307
1308 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1309 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1310 suggestions on this.
1311
1312 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1313 Fisher.
1314
1315 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1316
1317 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1318 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1319
1320 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1321
1322 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1323 up" event occurs.
1324
1325
1326version 2.45
1327 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1328 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1329 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1330 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1331
1332
1333version 2.44
1334 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1335 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1336 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1337
1338 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1339 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1340 never been reported in the wild.
1341
1342 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1343 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1344
1345 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1346 is large.
1347
1348 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1349 David Gilman.
1350
1351 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1352
1353
1354version 2.43
1355 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1356
1357 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1358 illegally.
1359
1360 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1361
1362 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1363 format.
1364
1365 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1366 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1367 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1368 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1369 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1370
1371 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1372 Rack for the bug report.
1373
1374 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1375 Bergquist.
1376
1377 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1378 option.
1379
1380 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1381 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1382
1383 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1384 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1385
1386 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1387 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1388 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1389 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1390 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1391 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1392 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1393 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1394 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1395 suggestions.
1396
1397 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1398 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1399 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1400
1401 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1402 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1403 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1404 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1405 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1406 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1407 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1408 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1409 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1410 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1411
1412 Replace the random number generator, for better
1413 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1414 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1415 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1416 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1417 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1418 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1419
1420 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1421 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1422 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1423 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1424 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1425
1426 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
