Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +00001version 2.61
2 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
3 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
4 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
5 addresses.
6
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +01007 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
8 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
9 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
10 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
11 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
12 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +000013
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +000014 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
15
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000016 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
17 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
18 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
19 this wrong. Thanks to Conrda Kostecki for help tracking
20 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +000021
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +000022 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
23 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
24 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
25
26 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
27
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +000028 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
29 suggestion.
30
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +000031 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
32 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
33 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
34 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
35 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
36 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
37 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
38 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
39 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
40 Gadgil.
41
42 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
43 the above.
44
45 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
46 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +000047 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
48 Forkel.
49
50 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
51 work even if there is no interface carrying the
52 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
53 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
54 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
55 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
56 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +000057
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +000058 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
59 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
60 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
61
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +010062 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
63 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
64 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
65 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
66 for existing connections, but new connections will use
67 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
68 renumbering at least possible.
69
70 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley83e854e2012-04-05 13:21:58 +010071 aquistion to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +010072
73 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
74 using the settings provided for DHCP options
75 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +010076
77 Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
78 SamLT for work on this.
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +010079
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +010080 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
81 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
82 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +010083
84 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
85 on exacly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
86 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
87 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
88 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +010089 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
90
91 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +010092
93 Give correct from-cache answers to explict CNAME queries.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +000097version 2.60
98 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
99 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100100
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000101 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
102 which is not the primary address of an interface.
103
104 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
105
106 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
107 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
108 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
109 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
110 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
111 implementation.
112
113 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
114 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
115 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
116 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
117 set them from the make command line.
118
119 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
120 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
121
122 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
123 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
124
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000125 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
126 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000127
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000128 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
129 containing many distinct addresses.
130
131 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
132 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
133 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
134 this.
135
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000136 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
137 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
138
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000139 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
140 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
141 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
142 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
143
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000144 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
145 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
146 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
147 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000148 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000149 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
150
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000151 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
152 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
153 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
154 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
155 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
156 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
157 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
158 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
159 These will be added as the standards mature.
160 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
161 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
162 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000163
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000164 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
165 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
166 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
167 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
168 enabling with --enable-ra.
169
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000170 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
171 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
172 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
173 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000174
175 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000176
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000177 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
178
179
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000180version 2.59
181 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
182 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
183 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
184 report.
185
186 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
187 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
188 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
189 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
190 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
191 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
192 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
193 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
194 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100195
196
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100197version 2.58
198 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
199 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
200
201 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
202 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
203 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
204
205 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
206 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
207 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
208 server-deployment applications need this.
209
210 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
211 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
212 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
213 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
214 in chasing this one down.
215
216 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
217 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
218 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
219 the problem.
220
221 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
222 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
223 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
224 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
225 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
226 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
227
228 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
229 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
230 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
231 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
232 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
233 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
234 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
235 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
236
237 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
238 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
239
240 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
241 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
242 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
243 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
244
245 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
246 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
247
248 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
249 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
250 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
251 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
252 Agrawal for the patch.
253
254 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
255 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
256 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
257 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
258 per-network values. So
259 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
260 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
261 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
262 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
263 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
264 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
265
266 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
267 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
268 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
269 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
270 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
271 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
272 a comprehensive test-case.
273
274 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
275 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
276 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
277
278 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
279 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
280 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
281 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
282 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
283
284 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
285
286 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
287
288
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000289version 2.57
290 Add patches to allow build under Android.
291
292 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
293 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
294 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
295 effectively empty on Android.
296
297 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
298 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
299 wildcard.
300
301 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
302 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
303 spotting this.
304
305 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
306 IDN support continues to be included automatically
307 when i18n is included.
308 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
309
310 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
311 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
312 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
313
314
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000315version 2.56
316 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
317 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
318
319 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
320 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
321 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
322 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
323
324 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
325 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
326
327 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
328 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
329 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
330
331 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
332 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
333 syslogd.
334
335 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
336 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
337 Petrin for the orignal patch.
338
339 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
340 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
341 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
342
343 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
344 option, on the command line.
345
346 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
347 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
348
349 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
350 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
351 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
352 to John Hallam for the patch.
353
354 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
355 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
356 character chunks instead.
357
358 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
359 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
360 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
361 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
362
363 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
364 transfer has completed succesfully.
365
366 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
367 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
368 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
369 which automatically creates
370 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
371 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
372
373 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
374 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
375
376 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
377 thanks for that.
378
379 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
380 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
381 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
382 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
383 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
384 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
385 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
386 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
387 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
388
389 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
390 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
391 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
392 set.
393
394 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
395 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
396
397 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
398 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
399 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
400
401 Edit
402 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
403 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
404 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
405
406 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
407 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
408 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
409 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
410 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
411 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
412 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
413 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
414 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
415 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
416 So:
417 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
418 --server=/google.com/#
419 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
420 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
421 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
422 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
423 William for pointing out the need for this.
424
425 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
426 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
427 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
428
429 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
430 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
431 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
432 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
433
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000434 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
435 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100455version 2.53
456 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
457 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
458
459 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
460 generated by gcc 4.4.
461
462 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
463 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
464
465 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
466 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
467 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
468
469 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
470 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
471 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
472 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
473 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
474 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
475 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
476 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
477 the documentation and new-style config files should be
478 much less confusing.
479
480 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
481 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
482 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
483
484 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
485
486 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
487
488 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
489 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
490 finding this.
491
492 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
493 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
494 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
495 from the client.
496
497 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
498 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
499 finding this.
500
501 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
502 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
503 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
504 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
505 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
506 server-override option.
507
508 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
509 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
510 allows a single line of the form
511 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
512 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
513 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
514 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
515 irrespective of the existance or lack of
516 interface=<interface>
517 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
518 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
519 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
520 configuration.
521
522 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
523
524 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
525 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
526
527 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
528 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
529 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
530 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
531
532 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
533 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
534 file, not the process/descriptor.
535
536 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
537 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
538
539 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
540 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
541 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
542 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
543 this and testing the fix.
544
545 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
546 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
547 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
548
549 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
550 upstream servers: this allows something like
551 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
552 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
553 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
554 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
555
556 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
557 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
558 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
559 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
560 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
561 work on this.
562
563 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
564 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
565 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
566 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
567 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
568 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
569 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
570
571 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
572
573 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
574 than one server available for a domain, eg.
575 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
576 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
577 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
578 here.
579
580 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
581
582 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
583 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
584
585 Fix regression which caused configuration like
586 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
587 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
588 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
589 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
590
591 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
592 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
593
594 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
595 is set.
596
597 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
598 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
599
600 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
601
602 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
603
604 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
605
606 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
607
608 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
609 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
610 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
611
612 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
613
614
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000615version 2.52
616 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
617 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
618 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
619 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
620 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
621 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
622 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
623 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
624
625 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
626 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
627 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
628 necessary for some *WRT distros.
629
630 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
631 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
632 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
633 when dnsmasq is first started.
634
635 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
636 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
637 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
638 with certain clients.
639
640 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
641 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
642 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
643
644 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
645 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
646 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
647 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
648 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
649 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
650 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
651 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
652 numbers delimited by dots.
653
654 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
655 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
656
657 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
658 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
659
660 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
661 contrib/Solaris10.
662
663 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
664 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
665 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
666 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
667 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
668 addresses available in such an installation removes a
669 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
670
671 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
672 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
673 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
674 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
675
676 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
677 the lease-change script in the environment variable
678 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
679
680 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
681 Options". The syntax looks like this:
682 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
683
684 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
685 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
686 looks like this:
687 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
688
689 Add some application specific code to assist in
690 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
691 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
692
693 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
694 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
695 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
696 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
697
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100698 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000699 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
700
701 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
702 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
703 this.
704
705 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
706 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
707 providing this.
708
709 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
710 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
711
712 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
713
714 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
715
716 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
717
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100718 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
719 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
720 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
721 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000722
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100723
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100724version 2.51
725 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
726 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
727 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
728 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
729 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
730 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
731 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
732 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
733 suggestion.
734
735 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
736 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
737 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
738 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
739 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
740 a DHCP relay, if used.
741 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
742
743 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
744 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
745
746 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
747 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
748 dhcp-option-force.
749
750 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
751 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
752 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
753
754 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
755 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
756 the patch.
757
758 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
759
760 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
761 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
762
763 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
764 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
765 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
766 suggestion.
767
768 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
769 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
770 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
771 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
772 dhcp-optsfile.
773
774 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
775 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
776 is retried. This should improve performance when there
777 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
778 suggestion.
779
780 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
781 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
782 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
783 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
784 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
785
786 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
787 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
788 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
789 fragmented packets.
790
791 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
792 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
793
794 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +0100799 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
800 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security

813 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
814 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
815
816 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
817 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
818 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
819 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
820
821 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100833 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100837 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
838 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
839 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
840 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100845 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
846 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
847 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
848 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100850 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
851 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
852 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000853
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100854 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
855 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100860 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
861 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
862 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
863 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
864 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
865 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
866 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
867 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
868 and Michael Brown for assistance.

871 useful suggestions.
872
873 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
874 this, edit src/config.h or build with
875 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
876
877 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check

884 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
885
886 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
887 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
888
889 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
890 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
891 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
892
893 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
894 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
895 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
896 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
897 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
898 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
899 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
900 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
901 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
902 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
903 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
904 Krafft for the bug report.
905
906 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.

912 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
913 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
914 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
915 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
916
917 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
918 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
919
920 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
921
922 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
923 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
924 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
925 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
926 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
927
928 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
929 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
930
931 No longer complain about blank lines in
932 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
933
934 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
935 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
936 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
937 for the bug report.
938
939 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
940 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
941 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
942 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
943
944 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
945 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
946 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
947 as before.
948 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
949 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
950 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
951
952 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
953 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
954 Windows even when using supernetting.
955 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
956 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
957 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
958 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
959
960 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
961
962 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
963 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
964 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
965 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
966 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
967 directory owned and write-able by the user running
968 dnsmasq.

971version 2.46
972 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
973 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
974 suggestion.
975
976 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
977 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
978 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
979 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
980 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
981
982 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
983 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
984 based in their IP address.
985
986 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
987 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
988 a domain associated with each client, and only
989 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
990 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
991 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
992 long as they are in different domains.
993
994 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
995 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
996 have now that it's variable.
997
998 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
999 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1000 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1001 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1002 potential.
1003
1004 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1005 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1006 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1007
1008 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1009 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1010
1011 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1012 which the DHCP request was received.
1013
1014 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1015 Laine for the patch.
1016
1017 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1018 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1019
1020 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1021 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1022 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1023 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1024 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1025 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1026 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1027 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1028 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1029 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1030 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1031
1032 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1033 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1034 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1035 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1036 improvement.
1037
1038 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1039 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1040 suggestions on this.
1041
1042 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1043 Fisher.
1044
1045 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1046
1047 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1048 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1049
1050 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1051
1052 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1053 up" event occurs.
1054
1055
1056version 2.45
1057 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1058 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1059 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1060 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1061
1062
1063version 2.44
1064 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1065 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1066 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1067
1068 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1069 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1070 never been reported in the wild.
1071
1072 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1073 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1074
1075 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1076 is large.
1077
1078 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1079 David Gilman.
1080
1081 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.

1085 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1086
1087 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1088 illegally.
1089
1090 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1091
1092 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1093 format.
1094
1095 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1096 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1097 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1098 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1099 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1100
1101 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1102 Rack for the bug report.
1103
1104 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1105 Bergquist.
1106
1107 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1108 option.
1109
1110 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1111 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1112
1113 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1114 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1115
1116 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1117 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1118 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1119 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1120 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1121 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1122 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1123 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1124 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1125 suggestions.
1126
1127 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1128 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1129 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1130
1131 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1132 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1133 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1134 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1135 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1136 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1137 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1138 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1139 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1140 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1141
1142 Replace the random number generator, for better
1143 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1144 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1145 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1146 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1147 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1148 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1149
1150 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1151 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1152 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1153 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1154 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1155
1156 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
