Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +00001version 2.66
2 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
3 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
4 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
5 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
6 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
7 servers to be configured.
8
9 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
10 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
11 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
12 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
13 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
14 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
15 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
16 this idea.

18 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +000019 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
20 patch.
21
22 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
23 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
24 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
25 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
26 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
27 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
28 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +000029
30 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
31 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
32 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +000033
34 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
35 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
36 lease-change script (and the correponding Lua). These hold
37 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
38 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
39 bounty for this addition.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +000041
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +000042version 2.65
43 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
44 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
45 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
46
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +000047 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
48 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +000049
50 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +000051
52
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +010053version 2.64
54 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
55 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
56 spotting the problem.
57
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +010058 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
59 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
60 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
61 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
62 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
63 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
64
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +010065 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
66 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
67
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +010068 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
69 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
70
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +010071 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
72 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
73
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +000074 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +010075 Williams for the patch.
76
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +000077 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
78 Roy Marples for the patch.
79
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +010080 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
81 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +010082
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +010083 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
84 for the patch.
85
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +010086 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
87 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
88 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
89
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +010090 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
91 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
92 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
93 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
94
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +010095 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
96 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
97 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
98
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +010099 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
100 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
101 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
102
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000103 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
104 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
105 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000106
107 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
108 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000109
110 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
111 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
112 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000113
114 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
115 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
116 without setting source address and interface, since this
117 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
118 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
119
120 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
121 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100122
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000123
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100124version 2.63
125 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
126
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100127 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
128 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
129
130 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
131 stuff is pointless without that.
132
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100133 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
134 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
135 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100136
137 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
138 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100139
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100140 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
141 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
142 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
143 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
144 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
145 superceded by other mechanisms.
146
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100147 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
148 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
149
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100150 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
151 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
152
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100153 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100154
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100155 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
156 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
157 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
158 the suggestion.
159
160 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
161 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
162 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100163
164 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100165
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100166 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
167 which overrides the default,
168 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
169 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
170
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100171 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
172 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
173
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100174
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100175version 2.62
176 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
177
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100178 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
179 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
180
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100181 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
182 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
183 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
184
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100185 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
186 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
187 for spotting this.
188
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100189 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
190 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
191 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
192
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100193 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
194
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100195 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
196 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
197 his help nailing this.
198
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000199version 2.61
200 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
201 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
202 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
203 addresses.
204
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100205 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
206 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
207 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
208 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
209 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
210 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000211
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000212 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
213
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000214 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
215 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
216 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100217 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000218 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000219
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000220 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
221 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
222 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
223
224 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
225
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000226 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
227 suggestion.
228
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000229 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
230 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
231 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
232 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
233 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
234 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
235 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
236 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
237 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
238 Gadgil.
239
240 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
241 the above.
242
243 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
244 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000245 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
246 Forkel.
247
248 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
249 work even if there is no interface carrying the
250 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
251 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
252 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
253 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
254 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000255
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000256 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
257 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
258 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
259
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100260 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
261 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
262 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
263 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
264 for existing connections, but new connections will use
265 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
266 renumbering at least possible.
267
268 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100269 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100270
271 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
272 using the settings provided for DHCP options
273 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +0100274

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100278 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
279 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
280 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100281
282 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100283 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100284 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
285 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
286 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100287 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
288
289 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +0100290

297 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
298 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the

307 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
308 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100309
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000310 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
311 which is not the primary address of an interface.
312
313 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
314
315 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
316 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
317 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
318 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
319 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
320 implementation.
321
322 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
323 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
324 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
325 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
326 set them from the make command line.
327
328 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
329 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
330
331 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
332 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
333
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000334 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
335 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000336
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000337 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
338 containing many distinct addresses.
339
340 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
341 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
342 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
343 this.
344
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000345 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
346 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
347
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000348 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
349 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
350 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
351 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
352
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000353 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
354 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
355 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
356 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)

Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000358 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
359
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000360 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
361 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
362 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
363 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
364 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
365 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
366 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
367 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
368 These will be added as the standards mature.
369 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
370 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
371 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000372
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000373 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
374 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
375 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
376 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
377 enabling with --enable-ra.
378
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000379 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
380 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
381 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
382 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000383
384 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

388
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000389version 2.59
390 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
391 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
392 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
393 report.
394
395 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
396 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
397 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
398 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
399 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
400 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
401 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
402 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
403 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100404
405
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100406version 2.58
407 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
408 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
409
410 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
411 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
412 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
413
414 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
415 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
416 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
417 server-deployment applications need this.
418
419 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
420 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
421 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
422 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
423 in chasing this one down.
424
425 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
426 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
427 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
428 the problem.
429
430 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
431 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
432 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
433 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
434 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
435 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
436
437 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
438 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
439 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
440 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
441 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
442 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
443 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
444 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
445
446 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
447 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
448
449 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
450 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
451 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
452 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
453
454 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
455 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
456
457 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
458 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
459 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
460 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
461 Agrawal for the patch.
462
463 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
464 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
465 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
466 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
467 per-network values. So
468 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
469 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
470 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
471 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
472 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
473 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
474
475 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
476 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
477 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
478 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
479 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
480 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
481 a comprehensive test-case.
482
483 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
484 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100485 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100486
487 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
488 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
489 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
490 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
491 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
492
493 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
494
495 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
496
497
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000498version 2.57
499 Add patches to allow build under Android.
500
501 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
502 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
503 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
504 effectively empty on Android.
505
506 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
507 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
508 wildcard.
509
510 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
511 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
512 spotting this.
513
514 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
515 IDN support continues to be included automatically
516 when i18n is included.
517 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
518
519 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
520 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
521 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
522
523
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000524version 2.56
525 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
526 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
527
528 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
529 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
530 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
531 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
532
533 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
534 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
535
536 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
537 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
538 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
539
540 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
541 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
542 syslogd.
543
544 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
545 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
546 Petrin for the orignal patch.
547
548 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
549 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
550 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
551
552 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
553 option, on the command line.
554
555 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
556 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
557
558 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
559 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
560 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
561 to John Hallam for the patch.
562
563 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
564 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
565 character chunks instead.
566
567 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
568 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
569 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
570 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
571
572 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
573 transfer has completed succesfully.
574
575 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
576 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
577 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
578 which automatically creates
579 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
580 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
581
582 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
583 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
584
585 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
586 thanks for that.
587
588 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
589 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
590 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
591 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
592 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
593 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
594 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
595 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
596 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
597
598 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
599 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
600 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
601 set.
602
603 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
604 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
605
606 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
607 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
608 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
609
610 Edit
611 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
612 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
613 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
614
615 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
616 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
617 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
618 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
619 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
620 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
621 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
622 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
623 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
624 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
625 So:
626 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
627 --server=/google.com/#
628 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
629 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
630 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
631 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
632 William for pointing out the need for this.
633
634 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
635 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
636 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
637
638 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
639 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
640 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
641 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
642
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000643 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000660 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100664version 2.53
665 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
666 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
667
668 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
669 generated by gcc 4.4.
670
671 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
672 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
673
674 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
675 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
676 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
677
678 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
679 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
680 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
681 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
682 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
683 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
684 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
685 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
686 the documentation and new-style config files should be
687 much less confusing.
688
689 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
690 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
691 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
692
693 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
694
695 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
696
697 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
698 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
699 finding this.
700
701 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
702 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
703 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
704 from the client.
705
706 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
707 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
708 finding this.
709
710 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
711 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
712 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
713 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
714 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
715 server-override option.
716
717 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
718 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
719 allows a single line of the form
720 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
721 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
722 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
723 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
724 irrespective of the existance or lack of
725 interface=<interface>
726 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
727 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
728 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
729 configuration.
730
731 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
732
733 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
734 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
735
736 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
737 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
738 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
739 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
740
741 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
742 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
743 file, not the process/descriptor.
744
745 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
746 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
747
748 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
749 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
750 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
751 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
752 this and testing the fix.
753
754 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
755 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
756 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
757
758 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
759 upstream servers: this allows something like
760 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
761 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
762 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
763 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
764
765 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
766 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
767 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
768 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
769 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
770 work on this.
771
772 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
773 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
774 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
775 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
776 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
777 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
778 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
779
780 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
781
782 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
783 than one server available for a domain, eg.
784 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
785 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
786 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
787 here.
788
789 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
790
791 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
792 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
793
794 Fix regression which caused configuration like
795 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
796 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
797 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
798 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
799
800 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
801 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
802
803 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
804 is set.
805
806 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
807 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
808
809 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
810
811 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
812
813 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
814
815 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
816
817 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
818 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
819 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
820
821 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
822
823
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000824version 2.52
825 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
826 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
827 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
828 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
829 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
830 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
831 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
832 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
833
834 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
835 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
836 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
837 necessary for some *WRT distros.
838
839 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
840 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
841 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
842 when dnsmasq is first started.
843
844 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
845 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
846 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
847 with certain clients.
848
849 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
850 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
851 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
852
853 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
854 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
855 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
856 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
857 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
858 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
859 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
860 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
861 numbers delimited by dots.
862
863 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
864 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
865
866 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
867 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
868
869 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
870 contrib/Solaris10.
871
872 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
873 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
874 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
875 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
876 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
877 addresses available in such an installation removes a
878 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
879
880 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
881 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
882 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
883 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
884
885 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
886 the lease-change script in the environment variable
887 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
888
889 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
890 Options". The syntax looks like this:
891 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
892
893 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
894 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
895 looks like this:
896 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
897
898 Add some application specific code to assist in
899 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
900 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
901
902 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
903 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
904 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
905 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
906
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100907 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000908 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
909
910 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
911 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
912 this.
913
914 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
915 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
916 providing this.
917
918 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
919 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
920
921 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
922
923 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
924
925 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
926
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100927 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
928 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
929 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
930 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000931
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100932
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100933version 2.51
934 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
935 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
936 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
937 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
938 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
939 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
940 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
941 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
942 suggestion.
943
944 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
945 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
946 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
947 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
948 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
949 a DHCP relay, if used.
950 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
951
952 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
953 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
954
955 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
956 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
957 dhcp-option-force.
958
959 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
960 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
961 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
962
963 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
964 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
965 the patch.
966
967 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
968
969 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
970 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
971
972 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
973 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
974 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
975 suggestion.
976
977 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
978 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
979 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
980 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
981 dhcp-optsfile.
982
983 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
984 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
985 is retried. This should improve performance when there
986 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
987 suggestion.
988
989 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
990 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
991 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
992 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
993 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
994
995 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
996 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
997 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
998 fragmented packets.
999
1000 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1001 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1002
1003 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001007 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001008 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1009 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1010 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1011 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1012 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1013 and CVE: 2009-2957
1014
1015 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1016 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1017 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1018 CVE: 2009-2958

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001021version 2.49
1022 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1023 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1024
1025 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1026 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1027 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1028 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1029
1030 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001033version 2.48
1034 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1035 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1036 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001037
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001038 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1039 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1040 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001041
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001042 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1043 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1044 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001045
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001046 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1047 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1048 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1049 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001050
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001051 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1052 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001053
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001054 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1055 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1056 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1057 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001058
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001059 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1060 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1061 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001062
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001063 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1064 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1065 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001066
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001067 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001068
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001069 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1070 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1071 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1072 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1073 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1074 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1075 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1076 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1077 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001078
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001079 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1080 useful suggestions.
1081
1082 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1083 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1084 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1085
1086 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1087 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001088

1092version 2.47
1093 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1094
1095 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1096 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1097
1098 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1099 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1100 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1101
1102 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1103 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1104 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1105 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1106 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1107 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1108 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1109 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1110 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1111 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1112 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1113 Krafft for the bug report.
1114
1115 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1116
1117 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1118 Fix for this bug:
1119 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1120
1121 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1122 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1123 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1124 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1125
1126 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1127 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1128
1129 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1130
1131 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1132 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1133 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1134 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1135 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1136
1137 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1138 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1139
1140 No longer complain about blank lines in
1141 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1142
1143 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1144 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1145 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1146 for the bug report.
1147
1148 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1149 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1150 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1151 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1152
1153 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1154 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1155 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1156 as before.
1157 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1158 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1159 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1160
1161 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1162 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1163 Windows even when using supernetting.
1164 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1165 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1166 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1167 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1168
1169 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1170
1171 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1172 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1173 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1174 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1175 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1176 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1177 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001178
1179
1180version 2.46
1181 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1182 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1183 suggestion.
1184
1185 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1186 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1187 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1188 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1189 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1190
1191 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1192 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1193 based in their IP address.
1194
1195 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1196 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1197 a domain associated with each client, and only
1198 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1199 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1200 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1201 long as they are in different domains.
1202
1203 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1204 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1205 have now that it's variable.
1206
1207 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1208 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1209 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1210 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1211 potential.
1212
1213 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1214 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1215 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1216
1217 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1218 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1219
1220 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1221 which the DHCP request was received.
1222
1223 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1224 Laine for the patch.
1225
1226 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1227 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1228
1229 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1230 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1231 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1232 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1233 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1234 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1235 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1236 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1237 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1238 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1239 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1240
1241 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1242 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1243 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1244 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1245 improvement.
1246
1247 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1248 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1249 suggestions on this.
1250
1251 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1252 Fisher.
1253
1254 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1255
1256 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1257 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1258
1259 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1261 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1262 up" event occurs.

1265version 2.45
1266 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1267 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1268 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1269 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1270
1271
1272version 2.44
1273 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1274 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1275 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1276
1277 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1278 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1279 never been reported in the wild.
1280
1281 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1282 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1283
1284 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1285 is large.

1304 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1305 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1306 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1307 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1308 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1309
1310 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1311 Rack for the bug report.
1312
1313 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1314 Bergquist.
1315
1316 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1317 option.
1318
1319 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1320 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1321
1322 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1323 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1324
1325 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1326 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1327 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1328 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1329 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1330 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1331 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1332 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1333 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1334 suggestions.
1335
1336 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1337 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1338 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1339
1340 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1341 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1342 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1343 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1344 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1345 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1346 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1347 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1348 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1349 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1350
1351 Replace the random number generator, for better
1352 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1353 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1354 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1355 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1356 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1357 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1358
1359 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1360 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1361 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1362 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1363 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1364
1365 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
