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
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +010034 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
35 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
36 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
37 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
38 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010039
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +010040 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
41 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
42
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +010043 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
44 spurious error when all seven possible items were
45 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +010046
47 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
48 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
49
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +010050 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
51 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
52
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +010053 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
54 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
55 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
56 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
57 report.
58
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +010059 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
60 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
61 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
62
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +010063 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero
Simon Kelley3953dcc2013-07-03 20:40:45 +010064 terminator. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the bug report.
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +010065
Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +010066 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
67 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
68
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +010069 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
70 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
71 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
72 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
73
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +010074 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
75 via DBus too.
76
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +010077 When the address which triggered the construction of an
78 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
79 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
80 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
81 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
82 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
83 arguing for this.
84
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +010085 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
86 for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +010087
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +010088 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
89 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
90 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
91 for suggesting this.
92
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +010093 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
94 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
95
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +010096 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
97 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
98 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
99 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
100 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
101
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100102 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
103 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100104
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100105 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
106 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
107
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100108 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
109 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
110 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
111
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100112 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
113 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
114
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100115 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
116 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
117 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
118 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
119 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100120
121 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
122 address must be either the first or last address in the
123 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
124 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100125
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100126 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
127
Tanguy Bouzelocef1d7422013-10-03 11:06:31 +0100128 Fix problem in DHCPv6 vendorclass/userclass matching
129 code. Thanks to Tanguy Bouzeloc for the patch.
130
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100131 Update Spanish transalation. Thanks to Vicente Soriano.
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100132
Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100133 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
134 inspiration on this.
135
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100136 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100137 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
138 for sponsoring this feature.
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100139
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100140 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
141 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
142
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100143 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
144 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
145 suggestion.
146
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100147
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000148version 2.66
149 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
150 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
151 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
152 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
153 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
154 servers to be configured.
155
156 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
157 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
158 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
159 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
160 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
161 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
162 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
163 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000164
165 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000166 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
167 patch.
168
169 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
170 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
171 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
172 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
173 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
174 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
175 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000176
177 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
178 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
179 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000180
181 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
182 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000183 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000184 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
185 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
186 bounty for this addition.
187
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000188 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
189 information-requests with some common configurations.
190 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
191 chasing the problem.
192
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000193 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
194 patch.
195
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000196 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000197 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000198
199 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
200 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000201
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100202 Handle the situation where libc headers define
203 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
204 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
205 Felker for the bug report.
206
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100207 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100208
209 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
210 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
211 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100212
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100213 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
214
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000215
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000216version 2.65
217 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
218 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
219 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
220
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000221 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
222 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000223
224 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000225
226
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100227version 2.64
228 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
229 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
230 spotting the problem.
231
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100232 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
233 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
234 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
235 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
236 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
237 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
238
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100239 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
240 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
241
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100242 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
243 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
244
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100245 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
246 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
247
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000248 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100249 Williams for the patch.
250
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000251 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
252 Roy Marples for the patch.
253
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100254 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
255 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100256
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100257 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
258 for the patch.
259
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100260 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
261 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
262 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
263
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100264 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
265 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
266 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
267 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
268
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100269 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
270 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
271 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
272
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100273 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
274 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
275 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
276
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000277 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
278 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
279 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000280
281 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
282 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000283
284 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
285 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
286 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000287
288 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
289 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
290 without setting source address and interface, since this
291 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
292 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
293
294 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
295 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100296
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000297
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100298version 2.63
299 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
300
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100301 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
302 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
303
304 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
305 stuff is pointless without that.
306
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100307 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
308 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
309 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100310
311 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
312 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100313
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100314 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
315 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
316 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
317 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
318 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
319 superceded by other mechanisms.
320
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100321 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
322 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
323
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100324 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
325 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
326
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100327 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100328
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100329 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
330 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
331 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
332 the suggestion.
333
334 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
335 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
336 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100337
338 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100339
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100340 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
341 which overrides the default,
342 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
343 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.

350 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
351
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100352 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
353 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
354
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100355 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
356 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
357 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
358
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100359 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
360 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
361 for spotting this.
362
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100363 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
364 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
365 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
366
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100367 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
368
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100369 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
370 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
371 his help nailing this.
372
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000373version 2.61
374 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
375 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
376 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
377 addresses.
378
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100379 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
380 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
381 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
382 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
383 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
384 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000385
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000386 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
387
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000388 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
389 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
390 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100391 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000392 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000393
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000394 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
395 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
396 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
397
398 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
399
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000400 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
401 suggestion.
402
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000403 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
404 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
405 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
406 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
407 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
408 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
409 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
410 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
411 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
412 Gadgil.
413
414 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
415 the above.
416
417 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
418 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000419 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
420 Forkel.
421
422 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
423 work even if there is no interface carrying the
424 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
425 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
426 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
427 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
428 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000429
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000430 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
431 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
432 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
433
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100434 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
435 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
436 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
437 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
438 for existing connections, but new connections will use
439 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
440 renumbering at least possible.
441
442 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100443 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100444
445 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100452 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
453 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
454 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.

Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100458 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
459 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
460 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100461 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

481 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
482 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100483
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000484 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
485 which is not the primary address of an interface.
486
487 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
488
489 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
490 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
491 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
492 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
493 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
494 implementation.
495
496 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
497 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
498 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
499 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
500 set them from the make command line.
501
502 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
503 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
504
505 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
506 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
507
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000508 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
509 release tags or hash values.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000511 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
512 containing many distinct addresses.
513
514 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
515 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
516 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
517 this.
518
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000519 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
520 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
521
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000522 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
523 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
524 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
525 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
526
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000527 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
528 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
529 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
530 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000531 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000532 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
533
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000534 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
535 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
536 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
537 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
538 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
539 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
540 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
541 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
542 These will be added as the standards mature.
543 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
544 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
545 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000546
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000547 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
548 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
549 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
550 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
551 enabling with --enable-ra.
552
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000553 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
554 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
555 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
556 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000557
558 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000560 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
561
562
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000563version 2.59
564 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
565 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
566 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
567 report.
568
569 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
570 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
571 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
572 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
573 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
574 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
575 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
576 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
577 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100578
579
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100580version 2.58
581 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
582 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
583
584 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
585 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
586 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
587
588 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
589 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
590 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
591 server-deployment applications need this.
592
593 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
594 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
595 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
596 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
597 in chasing this one down.
598
599 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
600 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
601 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
602 the problem.
603
604 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
605 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
606 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
607 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
608 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
609 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
610
611 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
612 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
613 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
614 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
615 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
616 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
617 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
618 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
619
620 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
621 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
622
623 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
624 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
625 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
626 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
627
628 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
629 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
630
631 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
632 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
633 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
634 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
635 Agrawal for the patch.
636
637 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
638 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
639 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
640 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
641 per-network values. So
642 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
643 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
644 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
645 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
646 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
647 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
648
649 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
650 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
651 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
652 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
653 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
654 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
655 a comprehensive test-case.
656
657 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
658 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100659 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100660
661 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
662 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
663 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
664 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
665 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

671
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000672version 2.57
673 Add patches to allow build under Android.
674
675 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
676 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
677 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
678 effectively empty on Android.
679
680 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
681 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
682 wildcard.
683
684 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
685 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
686 spotting this.
687
688 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
689 IDN support continues to be included automatically
690 when i18n is included.
691 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
692
693 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
694 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
695 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
696
697
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000698version 2.56
699 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
700 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
701
702 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
703 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
704 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
705 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
706
707 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
708 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
709
710 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
711 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
712 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
713
714 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
715 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
716 syslogd.
717
718 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
719 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
720 Petrin for the orignal patch.
721
722 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
723 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
724 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
725
726 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
727 option, on the command line.
728
729 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
730 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
731
732 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
733 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
734 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
735 to John Hallam for the patch.
736
737 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
738 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
739 character chunks instead.
740
741 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
742 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
743 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
744 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
745
746 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
747 transfer has completed succesfully.
748
749 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
750 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
751 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
752 which automatically creates
753 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
754 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/

756 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
757 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
758
759 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
760 thanks for that.
761
762 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
763 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
764 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
765 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
766 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
767 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
768 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
769 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
770 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
771
772 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
773 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
774 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
775 set.
776
777 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
778 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
779
780 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
781 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
782 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
783
784 Edit
785 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
786 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
787 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
788
789 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
790 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
791 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
792 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
793 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
794 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
795 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
796 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
797 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
798 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
799 So:
800 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
801 --server=/google.com/#
802 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
803 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
804 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
805 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
806 William for pointing out the need for this.
807
808 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
809 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
810 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
811
812 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
813 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
814 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
815 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

839 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
840 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
841
842 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
843 generated by gcc 4.4.
844
845 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
846 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
847
848 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
849 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
850 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
851
852 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
853 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
854 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
855 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
856 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
857 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
858 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
859 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
860 the documentation and new-style config files should be
861 much less confusing.
862
863 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
864 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
865 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
866
867 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
868
869 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
870
871 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
872 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
873 finding this.
874
875 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
876 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
877 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
878 from the client.
879
880 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
881 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
882 finding this.
883
884 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
885 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
886 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
887 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
888 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
889 server-override option.
890
891 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
892 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
893 allows a single line of the form
894 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
895 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
896 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
897 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
898 irrespective of the existance or lack of
899 interface=<interface>
900 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
901 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
902 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
903 configuration.
904
905 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
906
907 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
908 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
909
910 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
911 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
912 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
913 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
914
915 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
916 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
917 file, not the process/descriptor.
918
919 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
920 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
921
922 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
923 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
924 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
925 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
926 this and testing the fix.
927
928 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
929 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
930 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
931
932 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
933 upstream servers: this allows something like
934 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
935 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
936 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
937 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
938
939 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
940 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
941 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
942 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
943 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
944 work on this.
945
946 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
947 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
948 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
949 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
950 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
951 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
952 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
953
954 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
955
956 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
957 than one server available for a domain, eg.
958 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
959 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
960 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
961 here.
962
963 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
964
965 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
966 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
967
968 Fix regression which caused configuration like
969 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
970 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
971 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
972 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
973
974 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
975 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
976
977 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
978 is set.
979
980 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
981 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
982
983 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
984
985 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

987 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
988
989 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
990
991 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
992 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
993 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
994
995 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
996
997
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000998version 2.52
999 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1000 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1001 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1002 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1003 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1004 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1005 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1006 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1007
1008 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1009 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1010 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1011 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1012
1013 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1014 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1015 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1016 when dnsmasq is first started.
1017
1018 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1019 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1020 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1021 with certain clients.
1022
1023 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1024 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1025 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1026
1027 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1028 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1029 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1030 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1031 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1032 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1033 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1034 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1035 numbers delimited by dots.
1036
1037 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1038 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1039
1040 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1041 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1042
1043 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1044 contrib/Solaris10.
1045
1046 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1047 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1048 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1049 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1050 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1051 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1052 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1053
1054 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1055 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1056 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1057 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1058
1059 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1060 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1061 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1062
1063 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1064 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1065 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1066
1067 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1068 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1069 looks like this:
1070 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1071
1072 Add some application specific code to assist in
1073 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1074 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1075
1076 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1077 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1078 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1079 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1080
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001081 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001082 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1083
1084 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1085 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1086 this.
1087
1088 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1089 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1090 providing this.
1091
1092 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1093 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001101 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1102 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1103 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1104 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001105

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001107version 2.51
1108 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1109 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1110 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1111 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1112 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1113 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1114 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1115 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1116 suggestion.
1117
1118 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1119 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1120 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1121 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1122 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1123 a DHCP relay, if used.
1124 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1125
1126 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1127 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1128
1129 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1130 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1131 dhcp-option-force.
1132
1133 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1134 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1135 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1136
1137 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1138 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1139 the patch.
1140
1141 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1142
1143 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1144 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1145
1146 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1147 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1148 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1149 suggestion.
1150
1151 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1152 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1153 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1154 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1155 dhcp-optsfile.
1156
1157 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1158 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1159 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1160 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1161 suggestion.
1162
1163 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1164 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1165 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1166 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1167 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1168
1169 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1170 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1171 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1172 fragmented packets.
1173
1174 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1175 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1176

1196 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1197 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1198
1199 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1200 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1201 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1202 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1203

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001228 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1229 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1230 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1231 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001232
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001233 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1234 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1235 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001236
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001237 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1238 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1239 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001240
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001241 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001242
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001243 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1244 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1245 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1246 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1247 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1248 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1249 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1250 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1251 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001252
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001253 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1254 useful suggestions.
1255
1256 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1257 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1258 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1259
1260 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1261 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001262
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001263 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001264
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001265
1266version 2.47
1267 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1268
1269 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1270 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1271
1272 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1273 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1274 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1275
1276 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1277 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1278 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1279 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1280 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1281 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1282 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1283 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1284 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1285 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1286 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1287 Krafft for the bug report.
1288
1289 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1290
1291 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1292 Fix for this bug:
1293 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1294
1295 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1296 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1297 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1298 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1299
1300 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1301 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1302
1303 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1304
1305 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1306 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1307 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1308 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1309 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1310
1311 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1312 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1313
1314 No longer complain about blank lines in
1315 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1316
1317 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1318 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1319 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1320 for the bug report.
1321
1322 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1323 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1324 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1325 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1326
1327 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1328 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1329 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1330 as before.
1331 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1332 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1333 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1334
1335 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1336 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1337 Windows even when using supernetting.
1338 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1339 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1340 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1341 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1342
1343 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1344
1345 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1346 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1347 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1348 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1349 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1350 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1351 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001352
1353
1354version 2.46
1355 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1356 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1357 suggestion.
1358
1359 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1360 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1361 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1362 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1363 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1364
1365 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1366 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1367 based in their IP address.
1368
1369 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1370 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1371 a domain associated with each client, and only
1372 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1373 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1374 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1375 long as they are in different domains.
1376
1377 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1378 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1379 have now that it's variable.
1380
1381 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1382 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1383 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1384 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1385 potential.
1386
1387 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1388 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1389 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1390
1391 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1392 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1393
1394 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1395 which the DHCP request was received.
1396
1397 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1398 Laine for the patch.
1399
1400 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1401 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1402
1403 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1404 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1405 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1406 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1407 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1408 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1409 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1410 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1411 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1412 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1413 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1414
1415 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1416 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1417 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1418 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1419 improvement.
1420
1421 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1422 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1423 suggestions on this.
1424
1425 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1426 Fisher.
1427
1428 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1429
1430 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1431 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1432
1433 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1434
1435 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1436 up" event occurs.
1437
1438
1439version 2.45
1440 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1441 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1442 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1443 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1444
1445
1446version 2.44
1447 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1448 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1449 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1450
1451 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1452 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1453 never been reported in the wild.
1454
1455 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1456 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1457
1458 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1459 is large.
1460
1461 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1462 David Gilman.
1463
1464 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1465
1466
1467version 2.43
1468 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1469
1470 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1471 illegally.
1472
1473 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1474
1475 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1476 format.
1477
1478 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1479 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1480 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1481 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1482 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1483
1484 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1485 Rack for the bug report.
1486
1487 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1488 Bergquist.
1489
1490 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1491 option.
1492
1493 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1494 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1495
1496 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1497 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1498
1499 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1500 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1501 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1502 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1503 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1504 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1505 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1506 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1507 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1508 suggestions.
1509
1510 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1511 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1512 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1513
1514 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1515 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1516 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1517 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1518 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1519 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1520 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1521 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1522 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1523 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1524
1525 Replace the random number generator, for better
1526 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1527 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1528 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1529 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1530 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1531 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1532
1533 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1534 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1535 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1536 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1537 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1538
1539 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
