Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +01001version 2.76
2 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
3 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
4 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
5 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
6 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +01007
8 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
9 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +010010
11 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
12 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
13 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
14 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
15
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +000016 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
17 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
18 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
19 the patch.
20
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +000021 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
22 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
23 for the patch.
24
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +000025 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
26 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
27 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
28 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
29 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
30
31 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
32 not SERVFAIL.
33
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +000034 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
35 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000036
37 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
38 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
39 removal of entries in the ARP or nieghbour tables.
40
41 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
42 as base64, by configurting --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000043
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000044 Add --add-cpe-id option.
45
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000046 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
47 is declared as a whole /64.
48 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
49 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.

51
Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +010052version 2.75
53 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
54 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
55 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
56
57
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +010058version 2.74
59 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
60 read the default file, rather than no file.
61
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +010062 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
63 not SEGV in some circumstances.
64
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +010065 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
66 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
67 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
68
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +010069
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +010070version 2.73
71 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
72 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
73 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +000074
75 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
76 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
77 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
78
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +000079 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
80 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +000081 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
82 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
83 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +000084
85 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
86 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
87 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +000088
89 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
90 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
91 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
92 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +000093
94 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
95 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +000096
97 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
98 queries which include the specified address. No error is
99 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
100 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
101 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
102 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
103 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000104
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000105 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
106 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
107 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
108 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
109 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
110 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
111 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
112 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100113
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000114 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
115 to search automatically.
116
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000117 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
118 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
119 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
120 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
121 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
122 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000123
124 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
125 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
126 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000127
128 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
129 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
130 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
131 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000132
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000133 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
134 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
135 for the patch.
136
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000137 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000138
139 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100140 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
141 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
142 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
143 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100144
145 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
146 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100147
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100148 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
149 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
150 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
151 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
152 sterling work chasing this down.
153
154 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
155 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100156 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
157 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
158 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100159
160 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
161 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
162 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
163 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
164 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
165 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
166 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
167 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100168
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100169 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
170 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
171 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
172 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
173 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
174 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100175 pointing out the problem.
176
177 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
178 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
179 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100180
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100181 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
182 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
183 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
184 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
185 change permanent.
186
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100187 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
188 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
189
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100190 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
191 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
192
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100193 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
194 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
195 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
196 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100197
198 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
199 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100200
201 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the
202 "on-link" bit set. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
203
204 Extend --bridge-interface to DHCPv6 and router
205 advertisements. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100206

Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +0100209 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
210
211 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
212 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100213
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100214 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
215 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
216 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100217
218 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
219 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100220
221 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
222 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100223
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100224 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
225 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
226 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
227 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
228 patch.
229
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100230 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
231 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
232 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
233 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
234 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
235 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
236
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100237 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
238 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
239 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +0100240
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100241 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
242 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100243
244 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
245 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
246 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100247
248 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
249 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.

Simon Kelleyad4a8ff2015-04-09 21:48:00 +0100251
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100252version 2.71
253 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
254 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
255 non-existent DS records.
256
257 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
258 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
259 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
260 report.
261
262 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
263 for spotting that too.
264
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100265 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
266 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
267 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
268
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100269
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100270version 2.70
271 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
272 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
273 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
274
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100275 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
276 Wang Jian for the bug report.

Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000279version 2.69
280 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
281 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
282 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
283 valuable research on how to implement this.
284
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000285 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000286 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000287
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000288 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
289 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
290 for spotting the problem.
291
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000292 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
293 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
294 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
295 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
296 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
297
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000298 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
299 compiled with this enabled, with
300
301 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
302
303 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
304 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
305 statically with
306
307 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
308
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100309 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
310 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
311
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000312 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
313 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
314 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
315 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
316 distribution. You should of course check that these are
317 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
318
319 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
320 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000321
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000322 to your config is all thats needed to get things
323 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
324 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
325 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
326 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
327 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
328 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
329 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
330 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
331 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
332 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
333 records, which significantly improve the performance of
334 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
335 DNSSEC in action.
336
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100337 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
338 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
339 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
340 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
341 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
342 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
343 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
344 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
345 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
346 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
347 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
348 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
349 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
350 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
351 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
352 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
353
354 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
355 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
356 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
357 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
358 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
359 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
360 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
361 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
362 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
363 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
364 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
365 henceforward will be complete.
366
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000367 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
368 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
369 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
370 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
371 a workable state.

Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000373 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000374
375 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
376 full access to configuration.

Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000378 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
379 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
380 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000381 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000382 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
383 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
384 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
385 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
386
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000387 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs

389 find this and helping to chase it down.

400 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
401 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
402 addresses.
403
404 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
405 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
406 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
407 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
408 restarted, this bug disappeared.
409
410 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
411 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
412
413 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
414
415 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
416 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
417 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
418 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
419 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
420 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
421 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
422 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
423 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
424 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
425 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
426 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
427 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000428
429 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
430 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
431 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
432 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000433

438 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000439
440 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
441 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
442 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
443 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
444 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000445
446 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
447 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
448 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
449 corresponding address on the local interface.

455 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100456
457 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
458 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
459 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
460 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
461 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
462 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
463 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
464 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100465

Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100475
476 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
477 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
478 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
479 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
480 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
481 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
482 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
483 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100504 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
505 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
506 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
507 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
508 report.

522 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the

Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100528 When the address which triggered the construction of an
529 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
530 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
531 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
532 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
533 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
534 arguing for this.

Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100566 Support identification of clients by MAC address in

569 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
570 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100571
572 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000607version 2.66
608 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
609 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
610 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
611 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
612 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
613 servers to be configured.
614
615 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
616 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
617 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
618 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
619 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
620 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
621 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
622 this idea.

628 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
629 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
630 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
631 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)

Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100691 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
692 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
693 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
694 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
695 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in

720 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
721 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
722
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100723 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
724 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
725 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
726 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
727
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100728 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
729 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
730 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
731
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100732 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
733 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
734 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
735
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000736 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
737 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
738 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000739
740 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
741 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000742
743 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
744 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
745 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000746
747 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
748 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
749 without setting source address and interface, since this
750 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
751 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
752
753 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
754 dhcp-range on a subnet.

758 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
759
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100760 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
761 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
762
763 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
764 stuff is pointless without that.
765
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100766 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
767 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
768 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100769
770 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
771 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100772
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100773 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
774 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
775 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
776 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
777 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
778 superceded by other mechanisms.
779
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100780 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
781 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
782
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100783 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
784 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
785
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100786 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100788 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
789 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
790 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
791 the suggestion.
792
793 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
794 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
795 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100796

Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100799 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
800 which overrides the default,

Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100811 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
812 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
813
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100814 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
815 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
816 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
817
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100818 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
819 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
820 for spotting this.
821
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100822 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
823 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
824 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
825
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100826 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
827
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100828 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
829 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
830 his help nailing this.
831
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000832version 2.61
833 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
834 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
835 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
836 addresses.
837
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100838 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
839 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
840 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
841 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
842 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
843 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000844
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000845 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
846
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000847 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
848 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
849 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100850 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000851 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000852
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000853 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
854 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
855 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
856
857 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
858
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000859 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
860 suggestion.
861
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000862 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
863 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
864 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
865 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
866 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
867 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
868 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
869 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
870 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
871 Gadgil.
872
873 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
874 the above.
875
876 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
877 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000878 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
879 Forkel.
880
881 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
882 work even if there is no interface carrying the
883 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
884 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
885 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
886 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
887 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000889 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
890 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
891 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
892
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100893 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
894 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
895 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
896 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
897 for existing connections, but new connections will use
898 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
899 renumbering at least possible.
900
901 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100902 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000943 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
944 which is not the primary address of an interface.
945
946 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
947
948 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
949 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
950 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
951 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
952 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
953 implementation.
954
955 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
956 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
957 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
958 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
959 set them from the make command line.
960
961 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
962 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
963
964 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
965 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000970 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
971 containing many distinct addresses.
972
973 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
974 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
975 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
976 this.
977
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000978 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
979 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
980
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000981 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
982 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
983 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
984 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
985
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000986 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
987 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
988 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
989 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000990 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000991 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
992
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000993 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
994 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
995 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
996 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
997 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
998 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
999 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1000 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1001 These will be added as the standards mature.
1002 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1003 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1004 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001005
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001006 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1007 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1008 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1009 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1010 enabling with --enable-ra.
1011
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001012 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1013 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1014 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1015 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +00001016

1021
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001022version 2.59
1023 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1024 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1025 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1026 report.
1027
1028 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1029 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1030 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1031 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1032 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1033 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1034 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1035 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1036 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

1038
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001039version 2.58
1040 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1041 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1042
1043 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1044 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1045 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1046
1047 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1048 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1049 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1050 server-deployment applications need this.
1051
1052 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1053 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1054 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1055 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1056 in chasing this one down.
1057
1058 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1059 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1060 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1061 the problem.
1062
1063 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1064 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1065 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1066 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1067 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1068 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1069
1070 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1071 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1072 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1073 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1074 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1075 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1076 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1077 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1078
1079 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1080 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1081
1082 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1083 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1084 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1085 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1086
1087 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1088 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1089
1090 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1091 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1092 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1093 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1094 Agrawal for the patch.
1095
1096 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1097 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1098 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1099 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1100 per-network values. So
1101 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1102 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1103 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1104 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1105 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1106 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1107
1108 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1109 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1110 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1111 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1112 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1113 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1114 a comprehensive test-case.
1115
1116 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1117 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001118 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001119
1120 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1121 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1122 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1123 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1124 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001131version 2.57
1132 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1133
1134 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1135 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1136 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1137 effectively empty on Android.
1138
1139 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1140 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1141 wildcard.
1142
1143 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1144 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1145 spotting this.
1146
1147 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1148 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1149 when i18n is included.
1150 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1151
1152 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1153 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1154 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1155
1156
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001157version 2.56
1158 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1159 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1160
1161 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1162 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1163 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1164 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1165
1166 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1167 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1168
1169 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1170 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1171 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1172
1173 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1174 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1175 syslogd.
1176
1177 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1178 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1179 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1180
1181 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1182 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1183 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1184
1185 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1186 option, on the command line.
1187
1188 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1189 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1190
1191 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1192 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1193 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1194 to John Hallam for the patch.
1195
1196 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1197 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1198 character chunks instead.
1199
1200 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1201 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1202 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1203 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1204
1205 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1206 transfer has completed succesfully.
1207
1208 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1209 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1210 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1211 which automatically creates
1212 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1213 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1214
1215 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1216 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1217
1218 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1219 thanks for that.
1220
1221 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1222 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1223 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1224 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1225 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1226 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1227 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1228 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1229 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1230
1231 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1232 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1233 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1234 set.
1235
1236 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1237 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1238
1239 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1240 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1241 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1242
1243 Edit
1244 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1245 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1246 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1247
1248 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1249 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1250 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1251 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1252 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1253 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1254 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1255 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1256 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1257 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1258 So:
1259 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1260 --server=/google.com/#
1261 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1262 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1263 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1264 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1265 William for pointing out the need for this.
1266
1267 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1268 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1269 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1270
1271 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1272 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1273 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1274 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1275
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001276 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1298 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1299 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1300
1301 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1302 generated by gcc 4.4.
1303
1304 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1305 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1306
1307 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1308 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1309 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1310
1311 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1312 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1313 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1314 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1315 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1316 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1317 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1318 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1319 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1320 much less confusing.
1321
1322 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1323 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1324 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1325
1326 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1327
1328 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1329
1330 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1331 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1332 finding this.
1333
1334 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1335 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1336 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1337 from the client.
1338
1339 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1340 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1341 finding this.
1342
1343 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1344 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1345 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1346 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1347 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1348 server-override option.
1349
1350 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1351 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1352 allows a single line of the form
1353 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1354 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1355 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1356 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1357 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1358 interface=<interface>
1359 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1360 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1361 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1362 configuration.
1363
1364 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1365
1366 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1367 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1368
1369 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1370 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1371 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1372 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1373
1374 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1375 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1376 file, not the process/descriptor.
1377
1378 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1379 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1380
1381 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1382 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1383 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1384 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1385 this and testing the fix.
1386
1387 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1388 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1389 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1390
1391 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1392 upstream servers: this allows something like
1393 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1394 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1395 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1396 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1397
1398 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1399 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1400 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1401 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1402 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1403 work on this.
1404
1405 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1406 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1407 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1408 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1409 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1410 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1411 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1412
1413 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1414
1415 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1416 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1417 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1418 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1419 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1420 here.
1421
1422 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1423
1424 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1425 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1426
1427 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1428 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1429 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1430 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1431 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1432
1433 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1434 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1435
1436 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1437 is set.
1438
1439 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks

1451 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1452 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1453

1456
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001457version 2.52
1458 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1459 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1460 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1461 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1462 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1463 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1464 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1465 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1466
1467 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1468 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1469 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1470 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1471
1472 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1473 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1474 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1475 when dnsmasq is first started.
1476
1477 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1478 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1479 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1480 with certain clients.
1481
1482 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1483 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1484 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1485
1486 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1487 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1488 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1489 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1490 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1491 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1492 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1493 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1494 numbers delimited by dots.
1495
1496 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1497 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1498
1499 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1500 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1501
1502 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1503 contrib/Solaris10.
1504
1505 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1506 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1507 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1508 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1509 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1510 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1511 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1512
1513 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1514 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1515 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1516 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1517
1518 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1519 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1520 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1521
1522 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1523 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1524 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1525
1526 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1527 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1528 looks like this:
1529 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1530
1531 Add some application specific code to assist in
1532 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1533 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1534
1535 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1536 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1537 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1538 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1539
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001540 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001541 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1542
1543 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1544 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1545 this.
1546
1547 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1548 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001566version 2.51
1567 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1568 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1569 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1570 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1571 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1572 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1573 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1574 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1575 suggestion.
1576
1577 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1578 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1579 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1580 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1581 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1582 a DHCP relay, if used.
1583 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1584
1585 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1586 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1587
1588 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1589 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1590 dhcp-option-force.
1591
1592 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1593 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1594 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1595
1596 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1597 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1598 the patch.
1599
1600 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1601
1602 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1603 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1604
1605 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1606 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1607 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1608 suggestion.
1609
1610 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1611 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1612 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1613 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1614 dhcp-optsfile.
1615
1616 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1617 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1618 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1619 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1620 suggestion.
1621
1622 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1623 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1624 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1625 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1626 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1627
1628 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1629 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1630 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1631 fragmented packets.
1632
1633 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1634 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1635
1636 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1637

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001639version 2.50
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001640 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001641 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1642 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1643 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1644 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1645 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1646 and CVE: 2009-2957
1647
1648 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1649 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1650 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1651 CVE: 2009-2958
1652
1653
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001654version 2.49
1655 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1656 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1657
1658 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1659 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1660 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1661 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1662
1663 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1664

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001666version 2.48
1667 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1668 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1669 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001670
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001671 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1672 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1673 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001674
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001675 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1676 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1677 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001678
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001679 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1680 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1681 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1682 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001683
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001684 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1685 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001686
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001687 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1688 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1689 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1690 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001691
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001692 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1693 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1694 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001695
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001696 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1697 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1698 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001699
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001700 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001701
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001702 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1703 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1704 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1705 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1706 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1707 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1708 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1709 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1710 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001711
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001712 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1713 useful suggestions.
1714
1715 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1716 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1717 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1718
1719 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1720 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001721
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001722 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley9009d742008-11-14 20:04:27 +00001723
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001724
1725version 2.47
1726 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1727
1728 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1729 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1730
1731 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1732 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1733 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1734
1735 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1736 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1737 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1738 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1739 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1740 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1741 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1742 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1743 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1744 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1745 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1746 Krafft for the bug report.
1747
1748 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1749
1750 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1751 Fix for this bug:
1752 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1753
1754 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1755 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1756 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1757 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1758
1759 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1760 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1761
1762 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1763
1764 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1765 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1766 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1767 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1768 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1769
1770 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1771 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1772
1773 No longer complain about blank lines in
1774 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1775
1776 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1777 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1778 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1779 for the bug report.
1780
1781 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1782 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1783 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1784 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1785
1786 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1787 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1788 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1789 as before.
1790 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1791 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1792 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1793
1794 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1795 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1796 Windows even when using supernetting.
1797 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1798 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1799 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1800 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1801
1802 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1803
1804 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1805 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1806 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1807 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1808 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1809 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1810 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001811
1812
1813version 2.46
1814 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1815 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1816 suggestion.
1817
1818 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1819 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1820 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1821 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1822 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1823
1824 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1825 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1826 based in their IP address.
1827
1828 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1829 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1830 a domain associated with each client, and only
1831 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1832 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1833 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1834 long as they are in different domains.
1835
1836 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1837 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1838 have now that it's variable.
1839
1840 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1841 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1842 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1843 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1844 potential.
1845
1846 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1847 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1848 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1849
1850 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1851 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1852
1853 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1854 which the DHCP request was received.
1855
1856 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1857 Laine for the patch.
1858
1859 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1860 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1861
1862 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1863 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1864 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1865 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1866 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1867 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1868 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1869 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1870 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1871 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1872 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1873
1874 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1875 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1876 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1877 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1878 improvement.
1879
1880 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1881 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1882 suggestions on this.
1883
1884 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1885 Fisher.
1886
1887 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1888
1889 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1890 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1891
1892 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1893
1894 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1895 up" event occurs.
1896
1897
1898version 2.45
1899 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1900 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1901 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1902 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1903
1904
1905version 2.44
1906 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1907 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1908 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1909
1910 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1911 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1912 never been reported in the wild.
1913
1914 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1915 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1916
1917 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1918 is large.
1919
1920 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1921 David Gilman.
1922
1923 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1924
1925
1926version 2.43
1927 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1928
1929 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1930 illegally.
1931
1932 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1933
1934 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1935 format.
1936
1937 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1938 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1939 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1940 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1941 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1942
1943 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1944 Rack for the bug report.
1945
1946 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1947 Bergquist.
1948
1949 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1950 option.
1951
1952 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1953 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1954
1955 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1956 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1957
1958 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1959 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1960 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1961 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1962 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1963 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1964 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1965 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1966 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1967 suggestions.
1968
1969 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1970 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1971 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1972
1973 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1974 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1975 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1976 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1977 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1978 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1979 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1980 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1981 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1982 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1983
1984 Replace the random number generator, for better
1985 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1986 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1987 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1988 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1989 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1990 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1991
1992 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1993 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1994 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1995 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1996 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1997
1998 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
