Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +01001version 2.64
2 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
3 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
4 spotting the problem.
5
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +01006 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
7 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
8 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
9 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
10 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
11 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
12
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +010013 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
14 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
15
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +010016 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
17 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.

Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +010019
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +010020version 2.63
21 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
22
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +010023 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
24 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
25
26 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
27 stuff is pointless without that.
28
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +010029 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
30 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
31 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +010032
33 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
34 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +010035
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +010036 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
37 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
38 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
39 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
40 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
41 superceded by other mechanisms.
42
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +010043 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
44 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
45
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +010046 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
47 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
48
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +010049 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +010050
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +010051 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
52 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
53 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
54 the suggestion.
55
56 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
57 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
58 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +010059
60 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +010061
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +010062 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
63 which overrides the default,
64 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
65 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
66
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +010067 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
68 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
69
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +010070
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +010071version 2.62
72 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
73
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +010074 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
75 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
76
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +010077 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
78 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
79 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
80
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +010081 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
82 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
83 for spotting this.
84
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +010085 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
86 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
87 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
88
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +010089 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
90
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +010091 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
92 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
93 his help nailing this.
94
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +000095version 2.61
96 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
97 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
98 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
99 addresses.
100
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100101 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
102 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
103 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
104 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
105 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
106 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000107
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000108 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
109
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000110 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
111 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
112 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100113 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000114 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000115
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000116 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
117 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
118 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
119
120 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
121
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000122 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
123 suggestion.
124
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000125 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
126 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
127 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
128 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
129 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
130 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
131 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
132 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
133 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
134 Gadgil.
135
136 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
137 the above.
138
139 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
140 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000141 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
142 Forkel.
143
144 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
145 work even if there is no interface carrying the
146 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
147 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
148 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
149 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
150 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000151
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000152 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
153 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
154 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
155
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100156 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
157 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
158 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
159 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
160 for existing connections, but new connections will use
161 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
162 renumbering at least possible.
163
164 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100165 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100166
167 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
168 using the settings provided for DHCP options
169 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +0100170
171 Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
172 SamLT for work on this.
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100173
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100174 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
175 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
176 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100177
178 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100179 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100180 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
181 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
182 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100183 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
184
185 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +0100186
187 Give correct from-cache answers to explict CNAME queries.
188 Thanks to Rob Zwissler for spotting this.
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100189
Simon Kelleyfc92ead2012-04-22 21:28:24 +0100190 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100191 patch.
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100192
193 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
194 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100195 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100196 Ene for the patch.
Simon Kelley19d69be2012-04-27 10:14:34 +0100197
198 Fix failure of TFTP over IPv4 on OpenBSD platform. Thanks
199 to Brad Smith for spotting this.
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100200
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100201
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000202version 2.60
203 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
204 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100205
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000206 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
207 which is not the primary address of an interface.
208
209 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
210
211 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
212 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
213 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
214 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
215 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
216 implementation.
217
218 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
219 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
220 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
221 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
222 set them from the make command line.
223
224 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
225 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
226
227 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
228 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
229
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000230 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
231 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000232
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000233 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
234 containing many distinct addresses.
235
236 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
237 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
238 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
239 this.
240
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000241 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
242 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
243
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000244 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
245 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
246 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
247 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
248
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000249 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
250 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
251 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
252 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000253 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000254 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
255
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000256 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
257 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
258 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
259 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
260 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
261 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
262 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
263 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
264 These will be added as the standards mature.
265 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
266 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
267 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000268
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000269 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
270 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
271 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
272 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
273 enabling with --enable-ra.
274
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000275 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
276 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
277 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
278 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000279
280 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000281
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000282 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
283
284
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000285version 2.59
286 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
287 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
288 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
289 report.
290
291 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
292 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
293 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
294 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
295 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
296 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
297 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
298 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
299 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100300
301
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100302version 2.58
303 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
304 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
305
306 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
307 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
308 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
309
310 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
311 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
312 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
313 server-deployment applications need this.
314
315 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
316 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
317 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
318 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
319 in chasing this one down.
320
321 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
322 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
323 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
324 the problem.
325
326 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
327 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
328 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
329 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
330 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
331 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
332
333 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
334 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
335 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
336 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
337 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
338 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
339 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
340 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
341
342 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
343 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
344
345 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
346 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
347 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
348 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
349
350 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
351 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
352
353 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
354 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
355 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
356 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
357 Agrawal for the patch.
358
359 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
360 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
361 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
362 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
363 per-network values. So
364 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
365 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
366 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
367 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
368 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
369 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
370
371 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
372 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
373 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
374 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
375 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
376 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
377 a comprehensive test-case.
378
379 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
380 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
381 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
382
383 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
384 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
385 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
386 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
387 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
388
389 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
390
391 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000394version 2.57
395 Add patches to allow build under Android.
396
397 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
398 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
399 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
400 effectively empty on Android.
401
402 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
403 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
404 wildcard.
405
406 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
407 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
408 spotting this.
409
410 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
411 IDN support continues to be included automatically
412 when i18n is included.
413 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
414
415 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
416 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
417 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
418
419
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000420version 2.56
421 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
422 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
423
424 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
425 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
426 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
427 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
428
429 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
430 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
431
432 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
433 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
434 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
435
436 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
437 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
438 syslogd.
439
440 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
441 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
442 Petrin for the orignal patch.
443
444 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
445 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
446 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
447
448 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
449 option, on the command line.
450
451 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
452 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
453
454 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
455 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
456 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
457 to John Hallam for the patch.
458
459 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
460 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
461 character chunks instead.
462
463 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
464 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
465 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
466 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
467
468 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
469 transfer has completed succesfully.
470
471 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
472 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
473 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
474 which automatically creates
475 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
476 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
477
478 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
479 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
480
481 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
482 thanks for that.
483
484 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
485 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
486 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
487 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
488 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
489 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
490 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
491 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
492 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
493
494 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
495 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
496 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
497 set.
498
499 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
500 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
501
502 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
503 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
504 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
505
506 Edit
507 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
508 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
509 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
510
511 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
512 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
513 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
514 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
515 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
516 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
517 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
518 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
519 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
520 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
521 So:
522 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
523 --server=/google.com/#
524 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
525 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
526 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
527 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
528 William for pointing out the need for this.
529
530 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
531 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
532 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
533
534 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
535 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
536 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
537 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
538
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000539 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
540 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks

Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100547
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000548 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
549 finding this one.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100550
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000551 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)
552 options.

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000556 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
557 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.

559
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100560version 2.53
561 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
562 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
563
564 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
565 generated by gcc 4.4.
566
567 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
568 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
569
570 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
571 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
572 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
573
574 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
575 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
576 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
577 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
578 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
579 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
580 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
581 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
582 the documentation and new-style config files should be
583 much less confusing.
584
585 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
586 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
587 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
588
589 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
590
591 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
592
593 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
594 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
595 finding this.
596
597 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
598 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
599 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
600 from the client.
601
602 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
603 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
604 finding this.
605
606 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
607 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
608 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
609 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
610 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
611 server-override option.
612
613 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
614 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
615 allows a single line of the form
616 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
617 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
618 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
619 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
620 irrespective of the existance or lack of
621 interface=<interface>
622 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
623 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
624 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
625 configuration.
626
627 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
628
629 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
630 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
631
632 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
633 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
634 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
635 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
636
637 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
638 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
639 file, not the process/descriptor.
640
641 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
642 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
643
644 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
645 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
646 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
647 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
648 this and testing the fix.
649
650 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
651 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
652 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
653
654 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
655 upstream servers: this allows something like
656 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
657 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
658 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
659 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
660
661 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
662 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
663 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
664 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
665 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
666 work on this.
667
668 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
669 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
670 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
671 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
672 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
673 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
674 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
675
676 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
677
678 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
679 than one server available for a domain, eg.
680 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
681 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
682 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
683 here.
684
685 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
686
687 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
688 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
689
690 Fix regression which caused configuration like
691 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
692 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
693 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
694 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
695
696 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
697 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
698
699 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
700 is set.
701
702 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
703 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
704
705 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
706
707 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
708
709 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
710
711 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
712
713 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
714 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
715 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
716
717 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
718
719
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000720version 2.52
721 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
722 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
723 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
724 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
725 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
726 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
727 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
728 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
729
730 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
731 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
732 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
733 necessary for some *WRT distros.
734
735 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
736 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
737 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
738 when dnsmasq is first started.
739
740 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
741 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
742 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
743 with certain clients.
744
745 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
746 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
747 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
748
749 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
750 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
751 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
752 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
753 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
754 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
755 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
756 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
757 numbers delimited by dots.
758
759 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
760 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
761
762 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
763 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
764
765 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
766 contrib/Solaris10.
767
768 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
769 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
770 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
771 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
772 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
773 addresses available in such an installation removes a
774 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
775
776 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
777 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
778 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
779 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
780
781 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
782 the lease-change script in the environment variable
783 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
784
785 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
786 Options". The syntax looks like this:
787 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
788
789 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
790 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
791 looks like this:
792 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
793
794 Add some application specific code to assist in
795 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
796 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
797
798 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
799 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
800 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
801 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
802
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100803 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000804 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
805
806 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
807 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
808 this.
809
810 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
811 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
812 providing this.
813
814 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
815 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
816
817 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
818
819 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

821 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
822
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100823 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
824 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
825 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
826 finding and analysing the problem.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100829version 2.51
830 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
831 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
832 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
833 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
834 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
835 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
836 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
837 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
838 suggestion.
839
840 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
841 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
842 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
843 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
844 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
845 a DHCP relay, if used.
846 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
847
848 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
849 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
850
851 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
852 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
853 dhcp-option-force.
854
855 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
856 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
857 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
858
859 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
860 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
861 the patch.
862
863 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
864
865 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
866 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
867
868 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
869 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
870 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
871 suggestion.
872
873 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
874 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
875 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
876 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
877 dhcp-optsfile.
878
879 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
880 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
881 is retried. This should improve performance when there
882 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
883 suggestion.
884
885 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
886 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
887 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
888 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
889 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
890
891 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
892 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
893 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
894 fragmented packets.
895

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100903 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +0100904 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
905 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
906 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
907 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
908 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
909 and CVE: 2009-2957
910
911 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
912 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
913 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
914 CVE: 2009-2958

Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +0100917version 2.49
918 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
919 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
920
921 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
922 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
923 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
924 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
925
926 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

930 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
931 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
932 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100934 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
935 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
936 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000937
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100938 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
939 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
940 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000941
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100942 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
943 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
944 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
945 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000946
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100947 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
948 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000949
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100950 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
951 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
952 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
953 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000954
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100955 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
956 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
957 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000958
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100959 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
960 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
961 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000962
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100963 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000964
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100965 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
966 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
967 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
968 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
969 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
970 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
971 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
972 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
973 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000974
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100975 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
976 useful suggestions.
977
978 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
979 this, edit src/config.h or build with
980 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
981
982 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
983 configuration files only.

988version 2.47
989 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
990
991 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
992 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
993
994 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
995 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
996 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
997
998 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
999 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1000 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1001 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1002 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1003 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1004 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1005 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1006 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1007 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1008 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1009 Krafft for the bug report.
1010
1011 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1012
1013 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1014 Fix for this bug:
1015 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1016
1017 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1018 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1019 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1020 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1021
1022 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1023 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1024
1025 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1026
1027 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1028 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1029 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1030 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1031 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1032
1033 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1034 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1035
1036 No longer complain about blank lines in
1037 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1038
1039 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1040 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1041 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1042 for the bug report.
1043
1044 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1045 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1046 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1047 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1048
1049 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1050 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1051 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1052 as before.
1053 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1054 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1055 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1056
1057 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1058 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1059 Windows even when using supernetting.
1060 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1061 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1062 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1063 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1064
1065 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1066
1067 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1068 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1069 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1070 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1071 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1072 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1073 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001074
1075
1076version 2.46
1077 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1078 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1079 suggestion.
1080
1081 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1082 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1083 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1084 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1085 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1086
1087 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1088 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1089 based in their IP address.
1090
1091 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1092 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1093 a domain associated with each client, and only
1094 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1095 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1096 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1097 long as they are in different domains.
1098
1099 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1100 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1101 have now that it's variable.
1102
1103 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1104 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1105 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1106 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1107 potential.
1108
1109 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1110 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1111 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1112
1113 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1114 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1115
1116 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1117 which the DHCP request was received.
1118
1119 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1120 Laine for the patch.
1121
1122 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1123 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1124
1125 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1126 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1127 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1128 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1129 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1130 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1131 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1132 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1133 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1134 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1135 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1136
1137 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1138 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1139 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1140 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1141 improvement.
1142
1143 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1144 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1145 suggestions on this.
1146
1147 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1148 Fisher.
1149
1150 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1151
1152 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1153 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1154
1155 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1156
1157 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1158 up" event occurs.
1159
1160
1161version 2.45
1162 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1163 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1164 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1165 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1166
1167
1168version 2.44
1169 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1170 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1171 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1172
1173 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1174 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1175 never been reported in the wild.
1176
1177 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1178 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1179
1180 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1181 is large.
1182
1183 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1184 David Gilman.
1185
1186 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1187
1188
1189version 2.43
1190 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1191
1192 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1193 illegally.
1194
1195 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1196
1197 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1198 format.
1199
1200 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1201 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1202 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1203 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1204 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1205
1206 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1207 Rack for the bug report.
1208
1209 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1210 Bergquist.
1211
1212 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1213 option.
1214
1215 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1216 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1217
1218 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1219 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1220
1221 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1222 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1223 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1224 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1225 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1226 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1227 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1228 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1229 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1230 suggestions.
1231
1232 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1233 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1234 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1235
1236 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1237 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1238 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1239 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1240 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1241 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1242 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1243 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1244 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1245 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1246
1247 Replace the random number generator, for better
1248 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1249 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1250 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1251 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1252 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1253 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1254
1255 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1256 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1257 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1258 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1259 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1260
1261 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
