Simon Kelley9e169a92021-02-22 23:07:48 +00001version 2.85
2 Fix problem with DNS retries in 2.83/2.84.
3 The new logic in 2.83/2.84 which merges distinct requests
4 for the same domain causes problems with clients which do
5 retries as distinct requests (differing IDs and/or source ports.)
6 The retries just get piggy-backed on the first, failed, request.
7 The logic is now changed so that distinct requests for repeated
8 queries still get merged into a single ID/source port, but
9 they now always trigger a re-try upstream.
10 Thanks to Nicholas Mu for his analysis.
11
12 Tweak sort order of tags in get-version. v2.84 sorts
13 before v2.83, but v2.83 sorts before v2.83rc1 and 2.83rc1
14 sorts before v2.83test1. This fixes the problem which lead
15 to 2.84 announcing itself as 2.84rc2.

Simon Kelleyb7cf7542021-03-04 16:54:14 +000017 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
Simon Kelleye7c0d7b2021-02-28 17:56:54 +000018 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
19 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Viktor Papp for
20 spotting the problem. (This bug was fixed was back in 2.67, and
21 then regessed in 2.81).
Simon Kelleyb7cf7542021-03-04 16:54:14 +000022
23 Add --dynamic-host option: A and AAAA records which take their
24 network part from the network of a local interface. Useful
25 for routers with dynamically prefixes. Thanks
26 to Fred F for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley74d4fcd2021-03-15 21:59:51 +000030 Use random source ports where possible if source
31 addresses/interfaces in use.
32 CVE-2021-3448 applies. Thanks to Petr Menšík for spotting this.
33 It's possible to specify the source address or interface to be
34 used when contacting upstream nameservers: server=8.8.8.8@1.2.3.4
35 or server=8.8.8.8@1.2.3.4#66 or server=8.8.8.8@eth0, and all of
36 these have, until now, used a single socket, bound to a fixed
37 port. This was originally done to allow an error (non-existent
38 interface, or non-local address) to be detected at start-up. This
39 means that any upstream servers specified in such a way don't use
40 random source ports, and are more susceptible to cache-poisoning
41 attacks.
42 We now use random ports where possible, even when the
43 source is specified, so server=8.8.8.8@1.2.3.4 or
44 server=8.8.8.8@eth0 will use random source
45 ports. server=8.8.8.8@1.2.3.4#66 or any use of --query-port will
46 use the explicitly configured port, and should only be done with
47 understanding of the security implications.
48 Note that this change changes non-existing interface, or non-local
49 source address errors from fatal to run-time. The error will be
50 logged and communiction with the server not possible.
Simon Kelleyb7cf7542021-03-04 16:54:14 +000051
Simon Kelley4a8c0982021-03-26 21:19:39 +000052 Change the method of allocation of random source ports for DNS.
53 Previously, without min-port or max-port configured, dnsmasq would
54 default to the compiled in defaults for those, which are 1024 and
55 65535. Now, when neither are configured, it defaults instead to
56 the kernel's ephemeral port range, which is typically
57 32768 to 60999 on Linux systems. This change eliminates the
58 possibility that dnsmasq may be using a registered port > 1024
59 when a long-running daemon starts up and wishes to claim it.
60 This change does likely slighly reduce the number of random ports
61 and therefore the protection from reply spoofing. The older
62 behaviour can be restored using the min-port and max-port config
63 switches should that be a concern.

Simon Kelley9e169a92021-02-22 23:07:48 +000066version 2.84
67 Fix a problem, introduced in 2.83, which could see DNS replies
68 being sent via the wrong socket. On machines running both
69 IPv4 and IPv6 this could result in sporadic messages of
70 the form "failed to send packet: Network is unreachable" and
71 the lost of the query. Since the error is sporadic and of
72 low probability, the client retry would normally succeed.
73
74 Change HAVE_NETTLEHASH compile-time to HAVE_CRYPTOHASH.

Simon Kelley4e96a4b2020-11-11 23:25:04 +000081 Fix a remote buffer overflow problem in the DNSSEC code. Any

84 CVE-2020-25687.
Simon Kelley4e96a4b2020-11-11 23:25:04 +000085
Simon Kelley257ac0c2020-11-12 18:49:23 +000086 Be sure to only accept UDP DNS query replies at the address
87 from which the query was originated. This keeps as much entropy
Simon Kelley15b60dd2020-11-18 18:34:55 +000088 in the {query-ID, random-port} tuple as possible, to help defeat
Simon Kelleye01e09c2021-01-08 22:50:03 +000089 cache poisoning attacks. Refer: CVE-2020-25684.
Simon Kelley4e96a4b2020-11-11 23:25:04 +000090
Simon Kelley2d765862020-11-12 22:06:07 +000091 Use the SHA-256 hash function to verify that DNS answers
92 received are for the questions originally asked. This replaces
93 the slightly insecure SHA-1 (when compiled with DNSSEC) or
Simon Kelleye01e09c2021-01-08 22:50:03 +000094 the very insecure CRC32 (otherwise). Refer: CVE-2020-25685.
Simon Kelley15b60dd2020-11-18 18:34:55 +000095
96 Handle multiple identical near simultaneous DNS queries better.
97 Previously, such queries would all be forwarded
98 independently. This is, in theory, inefficent but in practise
99 not a problem, _except_ that is means that an answer for any
100 of the forwarded queries will be accepted and cached.
101 An attacker can send a query multiple times, and for each repeat,
102 another {port, ID} becomes capable of accepting the answer he is
103 sending in the blind, to random IDs and ports. The chance of a
104 succesful attack is therefore multiplied by the number of repeats
105 of the query. The new behaviour detects repeated queries and
106 merely stores the clients sending repeats so that when the
107 first query completes, the answer can be sent to all the
Simon Kelleye01e09c2021-01-08 22:50:03 +0000108 clients who asked. Refer: CVE-2020-25686.

Simon Kelleya799ca02018-10-18 19:35:29 +0100132version 2.81
Matthias Andree081a1c42020-04-05 11:26:38 +0200133 Improve cache behaviour for TCP connections. For ease of
Matthias Andreef60fea12020-07-19 21:54:44 +0100134 implementation, dnsmasq has always forked a new process to handle
Simon Kelleya799ca02018-10-18 19:35:29 +0100135 each incoming TCP connection. A side-effect of this is that
136 any DNS queries answered from TCP connections are not cached:
137 when TCP connections were rare, this was not a problem.
Matthias Andree081a1c42020-04-05 11:26:38 +0200138 With the coming of DNSSEC, it is now the case that some
Simon Kelleya799ca02018-10-18 19:35:29 +0100139 DNSSEC queries have answers which spill to TCP, and if,
Matthias Andree081a1c42020-04-05 11:26:38 +0200140 for instance, this applies to the keys for the root, then
Simon Kelleya799ca02018-10-18 19:35:29 +0100141 those never get cached, and performance is very bad.
142 This fix passes cache entries back from the TCP child process to
143 the main server process, and fixes the problem.
144
Simon Kelley48d12f12018-11-02 21:55:04 +0000145 Remove the NO_FORK compile-time option, and support for uclinux.
146 In an era where everything has an MMU, this looks like
147 an anachronism, and it adds to (Ok, multiplies!) the
148 combinatorial explosion of compile-time options. Thanks to
149 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the patch.

Simon Kelley79aba0f2020-02-03 23:58:45 +0000203
204 Support prefixed ranges of ipv6 addresses in dhcp-host.
205 This eases problems chain-netbooting, where each link in the
206 chain requests an address using a different UID. With a single
207 address, only one gets the "static" address, but with this
208 fix, enough addresses can be reserved for all the stages of the
209 boot. Many thanks to Harald Jensås for his work on this idea and
Simon Kelley52ec7832020-02-07 21:05:54 +0000210 earlier patches.

226
Simon Kelleya6918532018-04-15 16:20:52 +0100227 Alter the default for dnssec-check-unsigned. Versions of
228 dnsmasq prior to 2.80 defaulted to not checking unsigned
229 replies, and used --dnssec-check-unsigned to switch
230 this on. Such configurations will continue to work as before,
231 but those which used the default of no checking will need to be
232 altered to explicitly select no checking. The new default is
233 because switching off checking for unsigned replies is
234 inherently dangerous. Not only does it open the possiblity of forged
235 replies, but it allows everything to appear to be working even
236 when the upstream namesevers do not support DNSSEC, and in this
237 case no DNSSEC validation at all is occuring.
238
Simon Kelley0669ee72018-05-04 16:46:24 +0100239 Fix DHCP broken-ness when --no-ping AND --dhcp-sequential-ip

244 is given by the --dumpfile option, and a bitmap controlling
245 which packets should be dumped is given by the --dumpmask

250 already one specified. This allows the specified interface to
251 have different parameters and avoids advertising the same
252 prefix twice. Thanks to Luis Marsano for spotting this case.

327 Fix for DNSSEC with wildcard-derived NSEC records.
328 It's OK for NSEC records to be expanded from wildcards,
329 but in that case, the proof of non-existence is only valid
330 starting at the wildcard name, *.<domain> NOT the name expanded
331 from the wildcard. Without this check it's possible for an
332 attacker to craft an NSEC which wrongly proves non-existence.
333 Thanks to Ralph Dolmans for finding this, and co-ordinating
334 the vulnerability tracking and fix release.
335 CVE-2017-15107 applies.

346 Add to --synth-domain the ability to create names using
347 sequential numbers, as well as encodings of IP addresses.
348 For instance,
349 --synth-domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.50,192.168.0.70,internal-*
350 creates 21 domain names of the form
351 internal-4.thekelleys.org.uk over the address range given, with
352 internal-0.thekelleys.org.uk being 192.168.0.50 and

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100451 Calculate the length of TFTP error reply packet
452 correctly. This fixes a problem when the error
453 message in a TFTP packet exceeds the arbitrary
454 limit of 500 characters. The message was correctly
455 truncated, but not the packet length, so
456 extra data was appended. This is a possible
457 security risk, since the extra data comes from
458 a buffer which is also used for DNS, so that
459 previous DNS queries or replies may be leaked.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100628 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
629 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
630 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100633 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
634 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
635 Scott Bonar for the bug report.

Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +0100642
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100643 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
644 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
645 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
646 in src/config.h.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100648 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
649 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
650 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
651 will need to update your config.
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100652

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100656 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
657 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
658 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
659 work with these architectures.
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100660
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100661 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
662 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
663 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
664 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
665 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
666 single-item boot menu.
667
668 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
669 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
670
671 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
672 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
673 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
674 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
675 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
676 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
677 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
678 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
679 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
680 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
681 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
682 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
683 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
684 have a config with a basename which already has a
685 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
686 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
687 name.suffix

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100703 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
704 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100717 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
718 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
719 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
720 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
721 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100723 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse

725 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000726
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100727 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from

729 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
730 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100734
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100735 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
736 queries which include the specified address. No error is
737 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
738 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
739 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
740 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
741 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000742
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100743 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
744 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
745 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
746 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
747 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
748 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
749 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
750 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000751
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100752 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100755 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
756 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
757 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
758 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
759 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
760 floor of one hour. Thanks to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000761
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100762 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
763 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
764 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000765
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100766 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
767 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
768 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
769 configuration each time.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100777 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
778 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
779 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
780 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
781 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.

787 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
788 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
789 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
790 sterling work chasing this down.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100792 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
793 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
794 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
795 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
796 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100798 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
799 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
800 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
801 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
802 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
803 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
804 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
805 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100806
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100807 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
808 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
809 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
810 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
811 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
812 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
813 pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100814
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100815 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed

869 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
870 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
871 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
872 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.

931 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
932 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100947 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
948 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000949
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100950 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
951 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
952 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
953 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
954 distribution. You should of course check that these are
955 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000956
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100957 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
958 dnssec
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000959
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100960 to your config is all that's needed to get things
961 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
962 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
963 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
964 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
965 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
966 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
967 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
968 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
969 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
970 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
971 records, which significantly improve the performance of
972 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
973 DNSSEC in action.
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100974
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +0100975 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
976 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
977 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
978 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
979 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
980 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
981 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
982 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
983 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
984 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
985 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
986 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
987 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
988 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
989 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
990 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
991
992 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
993 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
994 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
995 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
996 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
997 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
998 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
999 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
1000 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
1001 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
1002 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
1003 henceforward will be complete.
1004
1005 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
1006 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
1007 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
1008 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
1009 a workable state.
1010
1011 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
1012
1013 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
1014 full access to configuration.
1015
1016 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
1017 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
1018 an interface exists on the server. This option
1019 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
1020 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
1021 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
1022 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
1023 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
1024
1025 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
1026 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
1027 find this and helping to chase it down.

1030 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.

1043 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
1044 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001053 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
1054 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
1055 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
1056 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
1057 work-around which exempted constructed DHCP ranges from the
1058 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
1059 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
1060 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
1061 constructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
1062 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
1063 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
1064 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
1065 IPv6 addresses of eth0.

1080 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
1081 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
1082 exists) then we should do it always.
1083
1084 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for

1086 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the

1096 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
1097 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
1098 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
1099 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
1100 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
1101 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001114 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
1115 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
1116 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
1117 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
1118 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
1119 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
1120 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
1121 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001222 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
1223 inspiration on this.
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +01001224
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001225 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
1226 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
1227 for sponsoring this feature.
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +01001228
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001229 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
1230 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +01001231
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001232 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
1233 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
1234 suggestion.
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +01001235
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001236 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
1237 as eligible for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
1238 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
1239 spotting the problem.
1240
1241 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
1242 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.

1244
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +00001245version 2.66
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001246 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
1247 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
1248 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
1249 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
1250 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
1251 servers to be configured.
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +00001252
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001253 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
1254 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
1255 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
1256 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
1257 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
1258 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
1259 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
1260 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +00001261
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001262 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
1263 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
1264 patch.
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +00001265
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001266 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
1267 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
1268 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
1269 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
1270 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
1271 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
1272 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +00001273
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001274 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
1275 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
1276 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +00001277
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001278 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBSCRIBER_ID,
1279 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
1280 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
1281 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
1282 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
1283 bounty for this addition.
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +00001284
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001285 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
1286 information-requests with some common configurations.
1287 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
1288 chasing the problem.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +00001289
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001290 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
1291 patch.
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +01001292
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001293 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
1294 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +01001295
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001296 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
1297 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +01001298
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001299 Handle the situation where libc headers define
1300 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
1301 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
1302 Felker for the bug report.
1303
1304 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1305
1306 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
1307 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
1308 the bug report.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001314 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
1315 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
1316 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +00001317
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001318 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
1319 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
1320
1321 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke caching.

Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +01001324version 2.64
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001325 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
1326 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
1327 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +01001328
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001329 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
1330 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
1331 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
1332 generate a warning. Now that only happens if there is not
1333 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
1334 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +01001335
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001336 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001339 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
1340 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +01001341
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001342 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in startup logging. Thanks to

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001357 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
1358 infinite loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
1359 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +01001360
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001361 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
1362 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
1363 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
1364 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +01001365
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001366 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
1367 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
1368 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +01001369
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001370 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
1371 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
1372 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +01001373
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001374 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
1375 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
1376 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001381 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
1382 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
1383 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +00001384
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001385 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
1386 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
1387 without setting source address and interface, since this
1388 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
1389 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +00001390

Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +01001400
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001401 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
1402 stuff is pointless without that.
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +01001403
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001404 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
1405 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
1406 interfaces.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +01001407
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001408 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001411 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
1412 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
1413 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
1414 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
1415 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
1416 superseded by other mechanisms.
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +01001417
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001418 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001426 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
1427 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
1428 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
1429 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +01001430
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001431 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
1432 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
1433 spotted the omission.
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +01001434

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001466 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001471 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
1472 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
1473 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
1474 addresses.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +00001475
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001476 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
1477 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
1478 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
1479 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
1480 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
1481 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +00001484
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001485 Explicitly send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
1486 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
1487 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
1488 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
1489 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +00001490
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001491 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
1492 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
1493 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001494
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001495 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001497 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
1498 suggestion.
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +00001499
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001500 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
1501 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
1502 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
1503 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilities
1504 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
1505 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
1506 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
1507 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
1508 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
1509 Gadgil.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001510
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001511 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
1512 the above.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001513
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001514 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
1515 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
1516 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
1517 Forkel.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001518
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001519 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
1520 work even if there is no interface carrying the
1521 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
1522 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
1523 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
1524 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
1525 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +00001526
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001527 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
1528 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
1529 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001530
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001531 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
1532 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
1533 preferred lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
1534 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
1535 for existing connections, but new connections will use
1536 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
1537 renumbering at least possible.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +01001538
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001539 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
1540 acquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +01001541

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001549 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
1550 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-existent
1551 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +01001552
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001553 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
1554 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
1555 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
1556 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
1557 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
1558 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001562 Give correct from-cache answers to explicit CNAME queries.
1563 Thanks to Rob Zwissler for spotting this.
1564
1565 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
1566 patch.
1567
1568 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
1569 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
1570 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina
1571 Ene for the patch.
1572
1573 Fix failure of TFTP over IPv4 on OpenBSD platform. Thanks

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001578 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
1579 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001580
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001581 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
1582 which is not the primary address of an interface.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001583
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001584 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001585
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001586 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1587 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1588 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1589 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1590 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1591 implementation.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001592
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001593 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1594 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1595 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1596 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1597 set them from the make command line.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001598
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001599 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1600 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001601
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001602 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1603 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001608 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1609 containing many distinct addresses.
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001610
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001611 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1612 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1613 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1614 this.
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001615
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001616 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1617 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001618
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001619 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1620 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1621 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1622 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001623
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001624 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1625 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1626 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1627 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
1628 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
1629 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001630
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001631 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1632 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1633 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1634 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1635 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1636 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1637 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1638 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1639 These will be added as the standards mature.
1640 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1641 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1642 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001643
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001644 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1645 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1646 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1647 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1648 enabling with --enable-ra.
1649
1650 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1651 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1652 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1653 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
1654
1655 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1656
1657 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001660version 2.59
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001661 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1662 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1663 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1664 report.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001665
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001666 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1667 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1668 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1669 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1670 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1671 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1672 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1673 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1674 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001675
1676
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001677version 2.58
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001678 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1679 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001680
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001681 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1682 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1683 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001684
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001685 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1686 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1687 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1688 server-deployment applications need this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001689
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001690 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1691 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1692 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1693 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1694 in chasing this one down.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001695
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001696 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1697 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1698 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1699 the problem.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001700
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001701 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1702 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1703 desirable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1704 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1705 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1706 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001707
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001708 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1709 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1710 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1711 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1712 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1713 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1714 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1715 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001716
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001717 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1718 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001719
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001720 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1721 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1722 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1723 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001724
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001725 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1726 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001727
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001728 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1729 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1730 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1731 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1732 Agrawal for the patch.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001733
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001734 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1735 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1736 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1737 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1738 per-network values. So
1739 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1740 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1741 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1742 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1743 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1744 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001745
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001746 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1747 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1748 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1749 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1750 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1751 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1752 a comprehensive test-case.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001753
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001754 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1755 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
1756 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001757
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001758 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1759 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1760 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1761 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1762 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001770 Add patches to allow build under Android.
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001771
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001772 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1773 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1774 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1775 effectively empty on Android.
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001776
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001777 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1778 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1779 wildcard.
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001780
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001781 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1782 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1783 spotting this.
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001784
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001785 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1786 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1787 when i18n is included.
1788 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001790 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1791 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1792 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.

1794
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001795version 2.56
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001796 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1797 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001798
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001799 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1800 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1801 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1802 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001803
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001804 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1805 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001806
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001807 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1808 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1809 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001810
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001811 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1812 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1813 syslogd.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001814
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001815 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1816 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1817 Petrin for the original patch.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001818
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001819 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1820 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1821 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001822
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001823 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1824 option, on the command line.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001825
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001826 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1827 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001828
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001829 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1830 b) --keep-in-foreground is set. The logging facility on the
1831 other end of stderr can be assumed to supply them. Thanks
1832 to John Hallam for the patch.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001833
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001834 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1835 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1836 character chunks instead.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001837
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001838 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1839 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1840 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1841 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001842
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001843 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1844 transfer has completed successfully.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001845
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001846 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1847 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1848 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1849 which automatically creates
1850 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1851 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001852
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001853 Tighten up syntax checking of hex constants in the config
1854 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001855
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001856 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1857 thanks for that.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001858
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001859 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1860 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1861 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1862 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1863 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1864 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1865 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1866 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1867 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001868
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001869 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1870 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1871 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1872 set.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001873
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001874 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1875 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001876
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001877 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1878 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1879 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001880
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001881 Edit
1882 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1883 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1884 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001885
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001886 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1887 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
Ville Skyttäfaaf3062018-01-14 17:32:52 +00001888 a NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001889 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1890 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1891 override this behaviour by defining the semantics if the
1892 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1893 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1894 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1895 of the address family which doesn't appear in --address
1896 So:
1897 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1898 --server=/google.com/#
1899 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1900 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1901 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1902 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1903 William for pointing out the need for this.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001904
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001905 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1906 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1907 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001908
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001909 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1910 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1911 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1912 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1913
1914 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
1915 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks
1916 to Fedor Kozhevnikov for spotting this.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001917
1918
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001919version 2.55
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001920 Fix crash when /etc/ethers is in use. Thanks to
1921 Gianluigi Tiesi for finding this.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001922
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001923 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
1924 finding this one.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001925
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001926 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)
1927 options.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001928
1929
1930version 2.54
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001931 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
1932 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +01001933
1934
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001935version 2.53
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001936 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1937 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001938
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001939 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1940 generated by gcc 4.4.
1941
1942 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1943 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1944
1945 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1946 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1947 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001948
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001949 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1950 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1951 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1952 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1953 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1954 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1955 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1956 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1957 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1958 much less confusing.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001959
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001960 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1961 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1962 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001963
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001964 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001965
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001966 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001967
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001968 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1969 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1970 finding this.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001971
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001972 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1973 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1974 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1975 from the client.
1976
1977 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1978 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1979 finding this.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001980
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001981 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1982 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1983 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1984 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1985 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1986 server-override option.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001987
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01001988 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1989 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1990 allows a single line of the form
1991 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1992 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1993 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1994 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1995 irrespective of the existence or lack of
1996 interface=<interface>
1997 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1998 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1999 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
2000 configuration.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002001
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002002 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002003
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002004 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
2005 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002006
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002007 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
2008 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
2009 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
2010 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002011
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002012 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
2013 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
2014 file, not the process/descriptor.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002015
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002016 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
2017 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002018
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002019 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
2020 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
2021 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
2022 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
2023 this and testing the fix.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002024
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002025 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
2026 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
2027 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002028
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002029 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
2030 upstream servers: this allows something like
2031 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
2032 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
2033 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
2034 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002035
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002036 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
2037 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
2038 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
2039 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
2040 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
2041 work on this.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002042
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002043 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
2044 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
2045 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
2046 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
2047 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
2048 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
2049 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002050
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002051 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002052
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002053 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
2054 than one server available for a domain, eg.
2055 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
2056 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
2057 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
2058 here.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002059
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002060 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002061
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002062 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
2063 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002064
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002065 Fix regression which caused configuration like
2066 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
2067 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
2068 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
2069 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002070
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002071 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
2072 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002073
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002074 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
2075 is set.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002077 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
2078 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01002079
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002080 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002082 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2083
2084 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
2085
2086 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
2087
2088 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
2089 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
2090 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
2091
2092 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002095version 2.52
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002096 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
2097 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
2098 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
2099 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
2100 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
2101 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
2102 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
2103 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002104
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002105 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
2106 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
2107 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
2108 necessary for some *WRT distros.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002109
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002110 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
2111 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
2112 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
2113 when dnsmasq is first started.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002114
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002115 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
2116 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
2117 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
2118 with certain clients.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002119
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002120 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
2121 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
2122 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002123
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002124 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
2125 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
2126 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
2127 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
2128 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
2129 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
2130 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
2131 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
2132 numbers delimited by dots.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002133
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002134 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
2135 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002136
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002137 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
2138 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002139
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002140 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
2141 contrib/Solaris10.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002142
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002143 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
2144 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
2145 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
2146 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
2147 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
2148 addresses available in such an installation removes a
2149 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002150
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002151 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
2152 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
2153 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
2154 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002155
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002156 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
2157 the lease-change script in the environment variable
2158 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002159
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002160 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
2161 Options". The syntax looks like this:
2162 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002163
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002164 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
2165 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
2166 looks like this:
2167 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002168
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002169 Add some application specific code to assist in
2170 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
2171 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002172
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002173 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
2174 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
2175 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
2176 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002177
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002178 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
2179 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002180
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002181 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
2182 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
2183 this.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002184
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002185 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
2186 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
2187 providing this.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002188
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002189 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
2190 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00002191
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002192 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
2193
2194 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2195
2196 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
2197
2198 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
2199 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
2200 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
2201 finding and analysing the problem.
2202
2203
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002204version 2.51
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002205 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
2206 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
2207 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
2208 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
2209 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
2210 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
2211 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
2212 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
2213 suggestion.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002214
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002215 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
2216 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
2217 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
2218 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
2219 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
2220 a DHCP relay, if used.
2221 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002222
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002223 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
2224 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002225
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002226 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
2227 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
2228 dhcp-option-force.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002229
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002230 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
2231 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
2232 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002233
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002234 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
2235 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
2236 the patch.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002237
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002238 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002239
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002240 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
2241 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002242
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002243 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
2244 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
2245 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
2246 suggestion.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002247
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002248 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
2249 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
2250 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
2251 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
2252 dhcp-optsfile.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002253
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002254 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
2255 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
2256 is retried. This should improve performance when there
2257 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
2258 suggestion.
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01002259
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002260 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
2261 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
2262 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
2263 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
2264 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
2265
2266 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
2267 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
2268 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
2269 fragmented packets.
2270
2271 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
2272 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
2273
2274 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01002277version 2.50
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002278 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
2279 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
2280 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
2281 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
2282 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
2283 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002286 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
2287 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
2288 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
2289 CVE: 2009-2958

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002293 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
2294 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01002295
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002296 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
2297 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
2298 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
2299 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01002300
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002301 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002304version 2.48
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002305 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
2306 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
2307 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00002308
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002309 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
2310 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
2311 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00002312
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002313 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
2314 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
2315 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00002316
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002317 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
2318 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
2319 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
2320 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00002321
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002322 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
2323 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00002324
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002325 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
2326 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
2327 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
2328 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00002329
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002330 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
2331 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
2332 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00002333
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002334 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
2335 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
2336 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00002337
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002338 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00002339
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002340 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
2341 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
2342 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
2343 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
2344 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
2345 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
2346 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
2347 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
2348 and Michael Brown for assistance.
2349
2350 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
2351 useful suggestions.
2352
2353 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
2354 this, edit src/config.h or build with
2355 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
2356
2357 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
2358 configuration files only.
2359
2360 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002366 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
2367 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002368
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002369 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
2370 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002373 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
2374 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
2375 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
2376 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
2377 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
2378 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
2379 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
2380 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
2381 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
2382 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
2383 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
2384 Krafft for the bug report.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002392 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
2393 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
Geert Stappersc7e6aea2018-01-13 17:56:37 +00002394 (eg) iPXE, which expect all its private options to be
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002395 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002396
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002397 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
2398 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002399
Geert Stappersc7e6aea2018-01-13 17:56:37 +00002400 will provide iSCSI parameters to iPXE.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002401
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002402 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
2403 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
2404 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
2405 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
2406 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002407
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002408 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
2409 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002410
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002411 No longer complain about blank lines in

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002414 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
2415 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
2416 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
2417 for the bug report.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002419 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
2420 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
2421 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
2422 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002423
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002424 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
2425 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
2426 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
2427 as before.
2428 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
2429 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
2430 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002431
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002432 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
2433 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
2434 Windows even when using supernetting.
2435 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
2436 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
2437 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
2438 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00002439
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002440 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

2442 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
2443 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
2444 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
2445 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
2446 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
2447 directory owned and write-able by the user running
2448 dnsmasq.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002452 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
2453 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
2454 suggestion.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002455
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002456 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
2457 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
2458 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
2459 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
2460 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002461
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002462 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
2463 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
2464 based in their IP address.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002465
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002466 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
2467 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
2468 a domain associated with each client, and only
2469 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
2470 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
2471 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
2472 long as they are in different domains.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002473
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002474 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
2475 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
2476 have now that it's variable.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002477
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002478 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
2479 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
2480 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
2481 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
2482 potential.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002483
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002484 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
2485 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
2486 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002487
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002488 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
2489 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002490
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002491 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
2492 which the DHCP request was received.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002493
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002494 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
2495 Laine for the patch.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002496
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002497 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
2498 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002499
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002500 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
2501 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
2502 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
2503 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
2504 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
2505 address to a host which has two network interfaces
2506 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
2507 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
2508 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
2509 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
2510 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002511
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002512 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
2513 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
2514 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
2515 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
2516 improvement.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002517
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002518 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
2519 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
2520 suggestions on this.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002521
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002522 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002527 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
2528 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002529
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002530 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002544 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
2545 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
2546 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002547
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002548 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
2549 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
2550 never been reported in the wild.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002551
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002552 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002570 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002571
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002572 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002574
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002575 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2576 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2577 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2578 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2579 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002580
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002581 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael

Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002590 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2591 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002592
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002593 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2594 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002595
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002596 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2597 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2598 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2599 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2600 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2601 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2602 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2603 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2604 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2605 suggestions.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002606
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002607 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2608 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2609 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002610
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002611 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2612 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2613 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2614 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2615 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2616 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2617 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2618 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2619 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2620 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002621
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002622 Replace the random number generator, for better
2623 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2624 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2625 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2626 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2627 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2628 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01002629
Simon Kelley32be32e2017-06-25 21:33:28 +01002630 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2631 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2632 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2633 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2634 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
