Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +01001version 2.67
2 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
3 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
4 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +01005
6 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
7 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
8 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
9 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
10 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
11 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
12 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
13 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +010014
15 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
16 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
17 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +010018
19 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
20 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +010021
22 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
23 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +010024
25 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
26 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
27 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
28 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
29 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
30 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
31 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
32 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010033
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +010034 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
35 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
36 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
37 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
38 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +010039
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +010040 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
41 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
42
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +010043 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
44 spurious error when all seven possible items were
45 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +010046
47 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
48 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
49
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +010050 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
51 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
52
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +010053 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
54 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
55 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
56 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
57 report.
58
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +010059 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
60 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
61 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
62
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +010063 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero
Simon Kelley3953dcc2013-07-03 20:40:45 +010064 terminator. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the bug report.
Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +010065
Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +010066 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
67 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
68
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +010069 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
70 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
71 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
72 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
73
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +010074 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
75 via DBus too.
76
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +010077 When the address which triggered the construction of an
78 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
79 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
80 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
81 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
82 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
83 arguing for this.
84
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +010085 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
86 for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +010087
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +010088 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
89 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
90 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
91 for suggesting this.
92
Simon Kelley8d030462013-07-29 15:41:26 +010093 Add --force-fast-ra option. Another thanks to Uwe Schindler.
94
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +010095 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
96 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
97
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +010098 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
99 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
100 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
101 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
102 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
103
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100104 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
105 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100106
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100107 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
108 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
109
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100110 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
111 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
112 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
113
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100114 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
115 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
116
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100117 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
118 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
119 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
120 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
121 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100122
123 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
124 address must be either the first or last address in the
125 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
126 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100127
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100128 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
129
Tanguy Bouzelocef1d7422013-10-03 11:06:31 +0100130 Fix problem in DHCPv6 vendorclass/userclass matching
131 code. Thanks to Tanguy Bouzeloc for the patch.
132
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100133 Update Spanish transalation. Thanks to Vicente Soriano.
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100134
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100135 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
136 servers where the original client is.
137
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100138
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000139version 2.66
140 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
141 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
142 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
143 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
144 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
145 servers to be configured.
146
147 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
148 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
149 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
150 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
151 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
152 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
153 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
154 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000155
156 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000157 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
158 patch.
159
160 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
161 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
162 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
163 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
164 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
165 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
166 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000167
168 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
169 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
170 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000171
172 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
173 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000174 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000175 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
176 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
177 bounty for this addition.
178
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000179 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
180 information-requests with some common configurations.
181 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
182 chasing the problem.
183
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000184 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
185 patch.
186
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000187 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000188 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000189
190 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
191 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000192
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100193 Handle the situation where libc headers define
194 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
195 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
196 Felker for the bug report.
197
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100198 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100199
200 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
201 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
202 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100203
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100204 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
205
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000206
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000207version 2.65
208 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
209 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
210 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
211
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000212 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
213 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000214
215 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000216
217
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100218version 2.64
219 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
220 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
221 spotting the problem.
222
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100223 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
224 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
225 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
226 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
227 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
228 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
229
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100230 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
231 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
232
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100233 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
234 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
235
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100236 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
237 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
238
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000239 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100240 Williams for the patch.
241
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000242 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
243 Roy Marples for the patch.
244
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100245 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
246 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100247
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100248 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
249 for the patch.
250
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100251 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
252 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
253 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
254
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100255 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
256 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
257 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
258 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
259
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100260 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
261 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
262 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
263
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100264 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
265 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
266 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
267
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000268 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
269 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
270 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000271
272 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
273 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000274
275 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
276 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
277 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000278
279 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
280 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
281 without setting source address and interface, since this
282 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
283 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
284
285 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
286 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100287
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000288
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100289version 2.63
290 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
291
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100292 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
293 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
294
295 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
296 stuff is pointless without that.
297
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100298 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
299 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
300 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100301
302 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
303 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100304
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100305 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
306 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
307 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
308 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
309 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
310 superceded by other mechanisms.
311
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100312 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
313 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
314
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100315 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
316 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
317
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100318 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100319
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100320 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
321 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
322 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
323 the suggestion.
324
325 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
326 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
327 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100328
329 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100330
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100331 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
332 which overrides the default,
333 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
334 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
335
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100336 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
337 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.

Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100343 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
344 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.

Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100346 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
347 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
348 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
349
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100350 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
351 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
352 for spotting this.
353
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100354 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
355 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
356 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
357
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100358 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
359
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100360 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
361 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
362 his help nailing this.
363
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000364version 2.61
365 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
366 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
367 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
368 addresses.
369
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100370 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
371 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
372 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
373 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
374 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
375 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000376
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000377 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
378
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000379 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
380 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
381 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100382 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000383 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000384
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000385 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
386 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
387 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
388
389 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
390
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000391 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
392 suggestion.
393
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000394 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
395 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
396 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
397 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
398 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
399 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
400 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
401 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
402 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
403 Gadgil.
404
405 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
406 the above.
407
408 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
409 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000410 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
411 Forkel.
412
413 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
414 work even if there is no interface carrying the
415 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
416 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
417 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
418 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
419 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000420
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000421 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
422 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
423 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
424
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100425 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
426 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
427 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
428 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
429 for existing connections, but new connections will use
430 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
431 renumbering at least possible.
432
433 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100434 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100435
436 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
437 using the settings provided for DHCP options
438 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +0100439
440 Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
441 SamLT for work on this.
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100442
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100443 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
444 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
445 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100446
447 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100448 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100449 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
450 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
451 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100452 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
453
454 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +0100455
456 Give correct from-cache answers to explict CNAME queries.
457 Thanks to Rob Zwissler for spotting this.
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100458
Simon Kelleyfc92ead2012-04-22 21:28:24 +0100459 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100460 patch.
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100461
462 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
463 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100464 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100465 Ene for the patch.
Simon Kelley19d69be2012-04-27 10:14:34 +0100466
467 Fix failure of TFTP over IPv4 on OpenBSD platform. Thanks

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000471version 2.60
472 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
473 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100474
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000475 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
476 which is not the primary address of an interface.
477
478 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
479
480 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
481 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
482 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
483 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
484 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
485 implementation.
486
487 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
488 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
489 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
490 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
491 set them from the make command line.
492
493 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
494 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
495
496 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
497 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
498
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000499 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
500 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000501
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000502 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
503 containing many distinct addresses.
504
505 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
506 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
507 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
508 this.
509
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000510 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
511 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
512
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000513 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
514 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
515 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
516 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
517
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000518 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
519 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
520 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
521 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000522 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000523 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
524
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000525 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
526 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
527 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
528 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
529 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
530 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
531 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
532 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
533 These will be added as the standards mature.
534 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
535 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
536 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000537
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000538 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
539 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
540 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
541 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
542 enabling with --enable-ra.
543
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000544 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
545 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
546 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
547 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000548
549 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000550
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000551 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
552
553
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000554version 2.59
555 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
556 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
557 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
558 report.
559
560 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
561 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
562 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
563 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
564 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
565 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
566 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
567 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
568 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100569
570
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100571version 2.58
572 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
573 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
574
575 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
576 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
577 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
578
579 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
580 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
581 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
582 server-deployment applications need this.
583
584 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
585 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
586 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
587 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
588 in chasing this one down.
589
590 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
591 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
592 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
593 the problem.
594
595 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
596 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
597 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
598 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
599 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
600 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
601
602 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
603 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
604 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
605 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
606 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
607 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
608 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
609 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
610
611 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
612 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
613
614 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
615 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
616 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
617 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
618
619 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
620 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
621
622 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
623 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
624 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
625 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
626 Agrawal for the patch.
627
628 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
629 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
630 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
631 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
632 per-network values. So
633 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
634 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
635 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
636 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
637 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
638 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
639
640 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
641 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
642 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
643 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
644 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
645 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
646 a comprehensive test-case.
647
648 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
649 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100650 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100651
652 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
653 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
654 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
655 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
656 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

660 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
661
662
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000663version 2.57
664 Add patches to allow build under Android.
665
666 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
667 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
668 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
669 effectively empty on Android.
670
671 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
672 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
673 wildcard.
674
675 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
676 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
677 spotting this.
678
679 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
680 IDN support continues to be included automatically
681 when i18n is included.
682 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
683
684 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
685 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
686 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
687
688
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000689version 2.56
690 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
691 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
692
693 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
694 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
695 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
696 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
697
698 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
699 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
700
701 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
702 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
703 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
704
705 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
706 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
707 syslogd.
708
709 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
710 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
711 Petrin for the orignal patch.
712
713 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
714 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
715 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
716
717 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
718 option, on the command line.
719
720 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
721 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
722
723 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
724 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
725 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
726 to John Hallam for the patch.
727
728 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
729 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
730 character chunks instead.
731
732 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
733 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
734 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
735 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
736
737 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
738 transfer has completed succesfully.
739
740 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
741 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
742 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
743 which automatically creates
744 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
745 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
746
747 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
748 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
749
750 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
751 thanks for that.
752
753 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
754 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
755 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
756 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
757 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
758 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
759 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
760 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
761 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
762
763 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
764 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
765 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
766 set.
767
768 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
769 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
770
771 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
772 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
773 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
774
775 Edit
776 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
777 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
778 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
779
780 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
781 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
782 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
783 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
784 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
785 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
786 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
787 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
788 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
789 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
790 So:
791 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
792 --server=/google.com/#
793 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
794 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
795 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
796 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
797 William for pointing out the need for this.
798
799 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
800 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
801 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
802
803 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
804 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
805 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
806 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100829version 2.53
830 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
831 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
832
833 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
834 generated by gcc 4.4.
835
836 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
837 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
838
839 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
840 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
841 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
842
843 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
844 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
845 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
846 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
847 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
848 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
849 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
850 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
851 the documentation and new-style config files should be
852 much less confusing.
853
854 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
855 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
856 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
857
858 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
859
860 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
861
862 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
863 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
864 finding this.
865
866 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
867 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
868 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
869 from the client.
870
871 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
872 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
873 finding this.
874
875 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
876 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
877 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
878 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
879 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
880 server-override option.
881
882 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
883 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
884 allows a single line of the form
885 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
886 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
887 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
888 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
889 irrespective of the existance or lack of
890 interface=<interface>
891 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
892 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
893 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
894 configuration.
895
896 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
897
898 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
899 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
900
901 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
902 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
903 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
904 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
905
906 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
907 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
908 file, not the process/descriptor.
909
910 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
911 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
912
913 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
914 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
915 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
916 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
917 this and testing the fix.
918
919 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
920 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
921 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
922
923 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
924 upstream servers: this allows something like
925 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
926 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
927 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
928 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
929
930 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
931 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
932 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
933 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
934 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
935 work on this.
936
937 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
938 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
939 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
940 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
941 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
942 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
943 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
944
945 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
946
947 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
948 than one server available for a domain, eg.
949 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
950 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
951 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
952 here.
953
954 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
955
956 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
957 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
958
959 Fix regression which caused configuration like
960 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
961 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
962 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
963 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
964
965 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
966 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
967
968 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
969 is set.
970
971 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
972 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
973
974 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
975
976 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
977
978 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
979
980 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
981
982 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
983 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
984 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
985
986 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
987
988
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000989version 2.52
990 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
991 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
992 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
993 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
994 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
995 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
996 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
997 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
998
999 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1000 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1001 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1002 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1003
1004 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1005 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1006 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1007 when dnsmasq is first started.
1008
1009 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1010 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1011 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1012 with certain clients.
1013
1014 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1015 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1016 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1017
1018 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1019 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1020 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1021 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1022 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1023 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1024 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1025 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1026 numbers delimited by dots.
1027
1028 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1029 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1030
1031 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1032 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1033
1034 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1035 contrib/Solaris10.
1036
1037 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1038 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1039 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1040 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1041 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1042 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1043 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1044
1045 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1046 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1047 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1048 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1049
1050 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1051 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1052 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1053
1054 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1055 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1056 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1057
1058 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1059 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1060 looks like this:
1061 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1062
1063 Add some application specific code to assist in
1064 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1065 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1066
1067 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1068 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1069 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1070 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1071
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001072 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001073 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1074
1075 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1076 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1077 this.
1078
1079 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1080 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1081 providing this.
1082
1083 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1084 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1085

1091
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001092 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1093 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1094 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1095 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001096
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001097
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001098version 2.51
1099 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1100 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1101 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1102 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1103 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1104 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1105 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1106 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1107 suggestion.
1108
1109 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1110 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1111 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1112 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1113 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1114 a DHCP relay, if used.
1115 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1116
1117 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1118 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1119
1120 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1121 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1122 dhcp-option-force.
1123
1124 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1125 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1126 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1127
1128 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1129 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1130 the patch.
1131
1132 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1133
1134 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1135 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1136
1137 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1138 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1139 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1140 suggestion.
1141
1142 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1143 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1144 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1145 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1146 dhcp-optsfile.
1147
1148 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1149 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1150 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1151 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1152 suggestion.
1153
1154 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1155 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1156 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1157 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1158 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1159
1160 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1161 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1162 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1163 fragmented packets.
1164
1165 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1166 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1167
1168 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1187 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1188 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1189
1190 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1191 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1192 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1193 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1194

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001211 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1212 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001228 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1229 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1230 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001231
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001232 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001233
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001234 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1235 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1236 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1237 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1238 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1239 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1240 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1241 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1242 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001243
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001244 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1245 useful suggestions.
1246
1247 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1248 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1249 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1250
1251 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1252 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001253
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001254 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1257version 2.47
1258 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1259
1260 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1261 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1262
1263 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1264 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1265 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1266
1267 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1268 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1269 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1270 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1271 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1272 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1273 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1274 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1275 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1276 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1277 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1278 Krafft for the bug report.
1279
1280 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1281
1282 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1283 Fix for this bug:
1284 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1285
1286 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1287 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1288 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1289 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1290
1291 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1292 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1293
1294 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1295
1296 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1297 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1298 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1299 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1300 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1301
1302 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1303 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1304
1305 No longer complain about blank lines in
1306 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1307
1308 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1309 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1310 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1311 for the bug report.
1312
1313 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1314 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1315 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1316 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1317
1318 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1319 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1320 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1321 as before.
1322 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1323 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1324 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1325
1326 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1327 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1328 Windows even when using supernetting.
1329 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1330 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1331 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1332 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1333
1334 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1335
1336 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1337 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1338 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1339 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1340 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1341 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1342 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001343
1344
1345version 2.46
1346 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1347 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1348 suggestion.
1349
1350 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1351 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1352 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1353 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1354 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1355
1356 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1357 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1358 based in their IP address.
1359
1360 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1361 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1362 a domain associated with each client, and only
1363 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1364 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1365 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1366 long as they are in different domains.
1367
1368 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1369 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1370 have now that it's variable.
1371
1372 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1373 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1374 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1375 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1376 potential.
1377
1378 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1379 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1380 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1381
1382 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1383 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1384
1385 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1386 which the DHCP request was received.
1387
1388 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1389 Laine for the patch.
1390
1391 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1392 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1393
1394 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1395 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1396 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1397 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1398 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1399 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1400 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1401 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1402 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1403 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1404 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1405
1406 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1407 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1408 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1409 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1410 improvement.
1411
1412 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1413 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1414 suggestions on this.
1415
1416 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1417 Fisher.
1418
1419 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1420
1421 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1422 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1423
1424 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1425
1426 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1427 up" event occurs.
1428
1429
1430version 2.45
1431 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1432 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1433 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1434 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1435
1436
1437version 2.44
1438 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1439 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1440 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1441
1442 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1443 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1444 never been reported in the wild.
1445
1446 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1447 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1448
1449 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1450 is large.
1451
1452 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1453 David Gilman.
1454
1455 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1456
1457
1458version 2.43
1459 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1460
1461 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1462 illegally.
1463
1464 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1465
1466 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1467 format.
1468
1469 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1470 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1471 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1472 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1473 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1474
1475 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1476 Rack for the bug report.
1477
1478 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1479 Bergquist.
1480
1481 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1482 option.
1483
1484 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1485 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1486
1487 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1488 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1489
1490 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1491 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1492 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1493 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1494 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1495 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1496 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1497 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1498 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1499 suggestions.
1500
1501 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1502 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1503 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1504
1505 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1506 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1507 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1508 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1509 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1510 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1511 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1512 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1513 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1514 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1515
1516 Replace the random number generator, for better
1517 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1518 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1519 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1520 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1521 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1522 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1523
1524 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1525 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1526 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1527 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1528 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1529
1530 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
