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

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +000094version 2.60
95 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
96 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +010097
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +000098 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
99 which is not the primary address of an interface.
100
101 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
102
103 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
104 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
105 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
106 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
107 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
108 implementation.
109
110 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
111 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
112 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
113 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
114 set them from the make command line.
115
116 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
117 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
118
119 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
120 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
121
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000122 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
123 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000124
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000125 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
126 containing many distinct addresses.
127
128 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
129 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
130 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
131 this.
132
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000133 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
134 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
135
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000136 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
137 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
138 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
139 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
140
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000141 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
142 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
143 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
144 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000145 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000146 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
147
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000148 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
149 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
150 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
151 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
152 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
153 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
154 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
155 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
156 These will be added as the standards mature.
157 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
158 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
159 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000160
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000161 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
162 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
163 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
164 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
165 enabling with --enable-ra.
166
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000167 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
168 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
169 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
170 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000171
172 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000173
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000174 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
175
176
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000177version 2.59
178 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
179 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
180 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
181 report.
182
183 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
184 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
185 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
186 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
187 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
188 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
189 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
190 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
191 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100192
193
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100194version 2.58
195 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
196 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
197
198 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
199 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
200 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
201
202 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
203 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
204 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
205 server-deployment applications need this.
206
207 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
208 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
209 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
210 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
211 in chasing this one down.
212
213 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
214 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
215 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
216 the problem.
217
218 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
219 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
220 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
221 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
222 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
223 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
224
225 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
226 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
227 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
228 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
229 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
230 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
231 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
232 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
233
234 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
235 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
236
237 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
238 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
239 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
240 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
241
242 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
243 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
244
245 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
246 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
247 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
248 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
249 Agrawal for the patch.
250
251 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
252 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
253 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
254 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
255 per-network values. So
256 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
257 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
258 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
259 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
260 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
261 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
262
263 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
264 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
265 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
266 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
267 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
268 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
269 a comprehensive test-case.
270
271 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
272 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
273 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
274
275 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
276 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
277 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
278 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
279 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
280
281 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
282
283 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
284
285
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000286version 2.57
287 Add patches to allow build under Android.
288
289 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
290 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
291 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
292 effectively empty on Android.
293
294 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
295 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
296 wildcard.
297
298 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
299 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
300 spotting this.
301
302 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
303 IDN support continues to be included automatically
304 when i18n is included.
305 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
306
307 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
308 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
309 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
310
311
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000312version 2.56
313 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
314 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
315
316 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
317 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
318 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
319 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
320
321 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
322 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
323
324 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
325 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
326 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
327
328 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
329 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
330 syslogd.
331
332 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
333 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
334 Petrin for the orignal patch.
335
336 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
337 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
338 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
339
340 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
341 option, on the command line.
342
343 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
344 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
345
346 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
347 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
348 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
349 to John Hallam for the patch.
350
351 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
352 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
353 character chunks instead.
354
355 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
356 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
357 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
358 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
359
360 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
361 transfer has completed succesfully.
362
363 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
364 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
365 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
366 which automatically creates
367 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
368 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
369
370 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
371 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
372
373 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
374 thanks for that.
375
376 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
377 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
378 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
379 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
380 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
381 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
382 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
383 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
384 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
385
386 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
387 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
388 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
389 set.
390
391 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
392 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
393
394 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
395 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
396 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
397
398 Edit
399 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
400 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
401 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
402
403 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
404 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
405 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
406 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
407 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
408 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
409 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
410 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
411 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
412 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
413 So:
414 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
415 --server=/google.com/#
416 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
417 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
418 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
419 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
420 William for pointing out the need for this.
421
422 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
423 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
424 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
425
426 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
427 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
428 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
429 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
430
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000431 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
432 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100452version 2.53
453 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
454 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
455
456 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
457 generated by gcc 4.4.
458
459 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
460 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
461
462 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
463 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
464 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
465
466 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
467 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
468 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
469 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
470 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
471 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
472 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
473 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
474 the documentation and new-style config files should be
475 much less confusing.
476
477 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
478 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
479 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
480
481 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
482
483 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
484
485 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
486 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
487 finding this.
488
489 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
490 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
491 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
492 from the client.
493
494 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
495 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
496 finding this.
497
498 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
499 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
500 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
501 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
502 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
503 server-override option.
504
505 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
506 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
507 allows a single line of the form
508 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
509 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
510 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
511 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
512 irrespective of the existance or lack of
513 interface=<interface>
514 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
515 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
516 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
517 configuration.
518
519 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
520
521 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
522 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
523
524 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
525 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
526 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
527 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
528
529 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
530 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
531 file, not the process/descriptor.
532
533 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
534 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
535
536 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
537 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
538 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
539 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
540 this and testing the fix.
541
542 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
543 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
544 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
545
546 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
547 upstream servers: this allows something like
548 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
549 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
550 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
551 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
552
553 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
554 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
555 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
556 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
557 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
558 work on this.
559
560 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
561 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
562 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
563 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
564 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
565 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
566 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
567
568 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
569
570 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
571 than one server available for a domain, eg.
572 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
573 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
574 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
575 here.
576
577 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
578
579 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
580 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
581
582 Fix regression which caused configuration like
583 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
584 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
585 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
586 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
587
588 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
589 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
590
591 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
592 is set.
593
594 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
595 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
596
597 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
598
599 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
600
601 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
602
603 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
604
605 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
606 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
607 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
608
609 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

611
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000612version 2.52
613 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
614 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
615 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
616 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
617 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
618 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
619 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
620 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
621
622 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
623 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
624 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
625 necessary for some *WRT distros.
626
627 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
628 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
629 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
630 when dnsmasq is first started.
631
632 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
633 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
634 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
635 with certain clients.
636
637 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
638 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
639 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
640
641 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
642 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
643 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
644 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
645 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
646 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
647 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
648 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
649 numbers delimited by dots.
650
651 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
652 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
653
654 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
655 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
656
657 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
658 contrib/Solaris10.
659
660 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
661 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
662 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
663 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
664 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
665 addresses available in such an installation removes a
666 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
667
668 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
669 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
670 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
671 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
672
673 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
674 the lease-change script in the environment variable
675 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
676
677 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
678 Options". The syntax looks like this:
679 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
680
681 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
682 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
683 looks like this:
684 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
685
686 Add some application specific code to assist in
687 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
688 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
689
690 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
691 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
692 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
693 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
694
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100695 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000696 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
697
698 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
699 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
700 this.
701
702 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
703 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
704 providing this.
705
706 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
707 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
708
709 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
710
711 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

713 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
714
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100715 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
716 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
717 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
718 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000719
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100720
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100721version 2.51
722 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
723 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
724 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
725 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
726 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
727 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
728 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
729 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
730 suggestion.
731
732 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
733 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
734 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
735 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
736 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
737 a DHCP relay, if used.
738 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
739
740 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
741 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
742
743 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
744 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
745 dhcp-option-force.
746
747 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
748 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
749 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
750
751 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
752 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
753 the patch.
754
755 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
756
757 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
758 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
759
760 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
761 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
762 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
763 suggestion.
764
765 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
766 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
767 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
768 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
769 dhcp-optsfile.
770
771 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
772 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
773 is retried. This should improve performance when there
774 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
775 suggestion.
776
777 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
778 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
779 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
780 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
781 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
782
783 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
784 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
785 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
786 fragmented packets.
787
788 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
789 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
790
791 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +0100796 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
797 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security

810 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
811 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
812
813 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
814 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
815 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
816 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
817

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100830 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
831 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100834 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
835 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
836 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
837 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100842 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
843 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
844 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
845 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100847 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
848 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
849 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000850
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100851 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
852 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100857 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
858 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
859 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
860 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
861 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
862 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
863 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
864 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
865 and Michael Brown for assistance.

871 this, edit src/config.h or build with
872 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.

882
883 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
884 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
885
886 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
887 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
888 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
889
890 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
891 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
892 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
893 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
894 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
895 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
896 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
897 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
898 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
899 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
900 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
901 Krafft for the bug report.
902
903 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
904
905 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
906 Fix for this bug:
907 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961

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

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

1081version 2.43
1082 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1083
1084 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1085 illegally.
1086
1087 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1088
1089 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1090 format.
1091
1092 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1093 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1094 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1095 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1096 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1097
1098 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1099 Rack for the bug report.
1100
1101 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1102 Bergquist.
1103
1104 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1105 option.
1106
1107 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1108 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1109
1110 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1111 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1112
1113 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1114 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1115 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1116 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1117 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1118 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1119 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1120 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1121 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1122 suggestions.
1123
1124 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1125 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1126 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1127
1128 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1129 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1130 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1131 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1132 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1133 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1134 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1135 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1136 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1137 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1138
1139 Replace the random number generator, for better
1140 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1141 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1142 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1143 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1144 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1145 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1146
1147 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1148 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1149 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1150 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1151 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1152
1153 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
