2 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
3 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
4 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
5 valuable research on how to implement this.

Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +00007 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +00008 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.

Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +000010 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
11 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
12 for spotting the problem.
13
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +000014 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
15 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
16 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
17 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
18 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
19
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000020 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
21 compiled with this enabled, with
22
23 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
24
25 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
26 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
27 statically with
28
29 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
30
31 which bloats the dnsmasq binary to over a megabyte, but
32 saves the size of the shared libraries which are five
33 times that size.
34 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
35 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
36 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
37 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
38 distribution. You should of course check that these are
39 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
40
41 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
42 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +000043
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +000044 to your config is all thats needed to get things
45 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
46 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
47 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
48 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
49 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
50 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
51 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
52 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
53 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
54 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
55 records, which significantly improve the performance of
56 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
57 DNSSEC in action.
58
59 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
60 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
61 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
62 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
63 a workable state.
64
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +000065 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +000066
67 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
68 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +000069
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +000070 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
71 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
72 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +000073 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +000074 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
75 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
76 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
77 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
78

Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +000080version 2.68
81 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
82 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
83 addresses.
84
85 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
86 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
87 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
88 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
89 restarted, this bug disappeared.
90
91 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
92 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
93
94 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
95
96 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
97 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
98 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
99 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
100 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
101 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
102 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
103 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
104 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
105 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
106 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
107 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
108 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000109
110 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
111 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
112 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
113 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000114
115 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
116 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
117
118 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
119 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000120
121 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
122 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
123 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
124 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
125 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000126
127 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
128 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
129 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
130 corresponding address on the local interface.
131

Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100133version 2.67
134 Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
135 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
136 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100137
138 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
139 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
140 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
141 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
142 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
143 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
144 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
145 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100146
147 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
148 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
149 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley2bb73af2013-04-24 17:38:19 +0100150
151 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
152 suggesting this.
Simon Kelleyd5052fb2013-04-25 12:44:20 +0100153
154 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
155 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100156
157 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
158 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
159 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
160 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
161 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
162 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
163 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
164 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100165
Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100166 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
167 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
168 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
169 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
170 bug report.
Giacomo Tazzari797a7af2013-04-22 13:16:37 +0100171
Simon Kelley115ac3e2013-05-20 11:28:32 +0100172 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
173 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
174
Simon Kelley3e8ed782013-05-29 14:31:33 +0100175 Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
176 spurious error when all seven possible items were
177 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100178
179 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
180 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
181
Marcelo Salhab Brogliato0da5e892013-05-31 11:49:06 +0100182 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
183 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
184
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100185 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
186 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
187 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
188 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
189 report.

Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100191 Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accomodate
192 AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
193 Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.

Simon Kelley625ac282013-07-02 21:19:32 +0100197
Kyle Mesteryd859ca22013-07-24 13:11:58 +0100198 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
199 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
200
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100201 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
202 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
203 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
204 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
205
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100206 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
207 via DBus too.
208
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100209 When the address which triggered the construction of an
210 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
211 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
212 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
213 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
214 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
215 arguing for this.
216
Simon Kelleyfc4c4fd2013-07-26 15:38:59 +0100217 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
218 for the bug report.
Simon Kelleyb4b93082013-06-19 10:31:23 +0100219
Simon Kelley871d4562013-07-27 21:32:32 +0100220 Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
221 reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
222 smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
223 for suggesting this.
224
Simon Kelleyedf0bde2013-07-29 17:21:48 +0100225 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
226 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
227
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100228 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
229 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
230 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
231 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
232 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
233
Simon Kelley6acef732013-09-09 15:21:39 +0100234 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
235 for sponsoring this development.
Simon Kelleyff7eea22013-09-04 18:01:38 +0100236
Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100237 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
238 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
239
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100240 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
241 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
242 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
243
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100244 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
245 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
246
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100247 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
248 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
249 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
250 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
251 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100252
253 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
254 address must be either the first or last address in the
255 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
256 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100257
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100258 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100265 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
266 inspiration on this.
267
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100268 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100272 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
273 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
274
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100275 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
276 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
277 suggestion.
278
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100279 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
280 as eligable for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
281 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
282 spotting the problem.
283
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100284 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000288version 2.66
289 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
290 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
291 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
292 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
293 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
294 servers to be configured.
295
296 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
297 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
298 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
299 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
300 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
301 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
302 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
303 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000304
305 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably

307 patch.
308
309 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
310 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
311 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
312 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
313 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
314 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
315 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000316
317 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
318 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
319 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000320
321 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
322 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000323 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000324 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
325 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
326 bounty for this addition.
327
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000328 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6

330 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
331 chasing the problem.
332
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000333 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the

Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100342 Handle the situation where libc headers define

Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100367version 2.64
368 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
369 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
370 spotting the problem.
371
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100372 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
373 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
374 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
375 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
376 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
377 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
378
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100379 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
380 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
381
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100382 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
383 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
384
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100385 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
386 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
387
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000388 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100389 Williams for the patch.
390
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000391 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
392 Roy Marples for the patch.
393
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100394 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
395 Rodriguez for the patch.

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100397 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
398 for the patch.
399
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100400 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
401 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
402 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
403
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100404 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
405 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
406 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
407 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
408
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100409 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
410 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
411 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
412
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100413 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
414 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
415 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
416
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000417 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
418 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
419 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000420
421 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
422 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000423
424 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
425 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
426 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000427
428 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
429 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
430 without setting source address and interface, since this
431 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
432 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
433
434 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
435 dhcp-range on a subnet.

439 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
440
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100441 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
442 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
443
444 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
445 stuff is pointless without that.
446
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100447 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
448 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
449 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100450
451 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
452 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100453
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100454 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
455 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
456 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
457 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
458 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
459 superceded by other mechanisms.
460
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100461 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
462 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
463
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100464 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
465 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
466
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100467 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100468
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100469 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
470 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
471 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
472 the suggestion.
473
474 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
475 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
476 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100477
478 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100480 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
481 which overrides the default,
482 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
483 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
484
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100485 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
486 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.

Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100492 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
493 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
494
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100495 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
496 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
497 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
498
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100499 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
500 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
501 for spotting this.
502
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100503 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
504 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
505 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
506
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100507 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
508
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100509 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
510 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
511 his help nailing this.
512
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000513version 2.61
514 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
515 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
516 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
517 addresses.
518
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100519 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
520 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
521 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
522 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
523 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
524 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000525
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000526 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
527
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000528 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
529 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
530 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100531 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000532 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000533
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000534 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
535 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
536 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
537
538 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
539
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000540 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
541 suggestion.
542
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000543 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
544 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
545 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
546 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
547 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
548 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
549 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
550 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
551 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
552 Gadgil.
553
554 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
555 the above.
556
557 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
558 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000559 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
560 Forkel.
561
562 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
563 work even if there is no interface carrying the
564 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
565 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
566 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
567 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
568 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000569
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000570 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
571 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
572 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
573
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100574 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
575 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
576 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
577 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
578 for existing connections, but new connections will use
579 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
580 renumbering at least possible.
581
582 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100583 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100584

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100592 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it

Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100598 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000624 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
625 which is not the primary address of an interface.
626
627 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
628
629 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
630 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
631 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
632 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
633 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
634 implementation.
635
636 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
637 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
638 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
639 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
640 set them from the make command line.
641
642 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
643 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
644
645 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
646 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000651 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
652 containing many distinct addresses.
653
654 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
655 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
656 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
657 this.
658
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000659 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
660 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
661
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000662 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
663 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
664 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
665 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
666
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000667 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
668 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
669 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
670 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000671 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000672 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
673
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000674 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
675 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
676 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
677 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
678 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
679 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
680 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
681 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
682 These will be added as the standards mature.
683 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
684 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
685 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000686
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000687 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
688 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
689 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
690 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
691 enabling with --enable-ra.
692
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000693 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
694 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
695 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
696 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

704 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
705 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
706 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
707 report.
708
709 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
710 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
711 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
712 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
713 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
714 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
715 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
716 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
717 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100720version 2.58
721 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
722 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
723
724 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
725 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
726 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
727
728 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
729 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
730 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
731 server-deployment applications need this.
732
733 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
734 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
735 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
736 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
737 in chasing this one down.
738
739 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
740 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
741 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
742 the problem.
743
744 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
745 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
746 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
747 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
748 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
749 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
750
751 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
752 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
753 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
754 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
755 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
756 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
757 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
758 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
759
760 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
761 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
762
763 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
764 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
765 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
766 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
767
768 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
769 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
770
771 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
772 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
773 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
774 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
775 Agrawal for the patch.
776
777 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
778 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
779 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
780 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
781 per-network values. So
782 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
783 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
784 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
785 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
786 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
787 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
788
789 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
790 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
791 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
792 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
793 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
794 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
795 a comprehensive test-case.
796
797 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
798 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100799 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100800
801 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
802 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
803 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
804 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
805 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
806
807 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
808
809 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
810
811
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000812version 2.57
813 Add patches to allow build under Android.
814
815 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
816 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
817 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
818 effectively empty on Android.
819
820 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
821 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
822 wildcard.
823
824 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
825 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
826 spotting this.
827
828 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
829 IDN support continues to be included automatically
830 when i18n is included.
831 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
832
833 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
834 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
835 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
836
837
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000838version 2.56
839 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
840 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
841
842 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
843 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
844 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
845 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
846
847 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
848 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
849
850 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
851 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
852 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
853
854 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
855 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
856 syslogd.
857
858 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
859 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
860 Petrin for the orignal patch.
861
862 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
863 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
864 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
865
866 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
867 option, on the command line.
868
869 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
870 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
871
872 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
873 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
874 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
875 to John Hallam for the patch.
876
877 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
878 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
879 character chunks instead.
880
881 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
882 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
883 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
884 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
885
886 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
887 transfer has completed succesfully.
888
889 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
890 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
891 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
892 which automatically creates
893 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
894 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
895
896 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
897 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
898
899 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
900 thanks for that.
901
902 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
903 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
904 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
905 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
906 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
907 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
908 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
909 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
910 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
911
912 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
913 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
914 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
915 set.
916
917 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
918 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
919
920 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
921 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
922 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
923
924 Edit
925 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
926 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
927 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
928
929 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
930 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
931 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
932 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
933 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
934 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
935 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
936 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
937 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
938 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
939 So:
940 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
941 --server=/google.com/#
942 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
943 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
944 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
945 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
946 William for pointing out the need for this.
947
948 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
949 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
950 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
951
952 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
953 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
954 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
955 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
956
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000957 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
958 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks
959 to Fedor Kozhevnikov for spotting this.

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000963 Fix crash when /etc/ethers is in use. Thanks to
964 Gianluigi Tiesi for finding this.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100965
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000966 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
967 finding this one.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100968
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000969 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)
970 options.

973version 2.54
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000974 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
975 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.
Simon Kelleyc52e1892010-06-07 22:01:39 +0100976
977
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100978version 2.53
979 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
980 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
981
982 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
983 generated by gcc 4.4.
984
985 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
986 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
987
988 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
989 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
990 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
991
992 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
993 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
994 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
995 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
996 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
997 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
998 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
999 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1000 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1001 much less confusing.
1002
1003 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1004 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1005 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1006
1007 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1008
1009 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1010
1011 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1012 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1013 finding this.
1014
1015 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1016 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1017 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1018 from the client.
1019
1020 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1021 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1022 finding this.
1023
1024 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1025 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1026 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1027 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1028 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1029 server-override option.
1030
1031 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1032 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1033 allows a single line of the form
1034 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1035 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1036 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1037 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1038 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1039 interface=<interface>
1040 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1041 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1042 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1043 configuration.
1044
1045 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1046
1047 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1048 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1049
1050 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1051 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1052 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1053 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1054
1055 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1056 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1057 file, not the process/descriptor.
1058
1059 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1060 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1061
1062 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1063 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1064 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1065 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1066 this and testing the fix.
1067
1068 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1069 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1070 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1071
1072 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1073 upstream servers: this allows something like
1074 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1075 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1076 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1077 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1078
1079 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1080 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1081 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1082 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1083 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1084 work on this.
1085
1086 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1087 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1088 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1089 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1090 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1091 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1092 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1093
1094 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1095
1096 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1097 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1098 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1099 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1100 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1101 here.
1102
1103 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1104
1105 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1106 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1107
1108 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1109 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1110 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1111 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1112 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1113
1114 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1115 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1116
1117 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1118 is set.
1119
1120 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1121 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1122
1123 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1124
1125 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1126
1127 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1128
1129 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1130
1131 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1132 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1133 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1134
1135 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1136
1137
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001138version 2.52
1139 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1140 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1141 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1142 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1143 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1144 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1145 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1146 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1147
1148 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1149 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1150 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1151 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1152
1153 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1154 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1155 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1156 when dnsmasq is first started.
1157
1158 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1159 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1160 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1161 with certain clients.
1162
1163 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1164 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1165 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1166
1167 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1168 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1169 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1170 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1171 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1172 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1173 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1174 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1175 numbers delimited by dots.
1176
1177 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1178 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1179
1180 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1181 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1182
1183 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1184 contrib/Solaris10.
1185
1186 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1187 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1188 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1189 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1190 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1191 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1192 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1193
1194 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1195 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1196 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1197 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1198
1199 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1200 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1201 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1202
1203 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1204 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1205 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1206
1207 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1208 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1209 looks like this:
1210 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1211
1212 Add some application specific code to assist in
1213 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1214 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1215
1216 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1217 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1218 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1219 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1220
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001221 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001222 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1223
1224 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1225 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1226 this.
1227
1228 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1229 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1230 providing this.
1231
1232 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1233 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1234
1235 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1236
1237 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

1239 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001241 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1242 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1243 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1244 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001245
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001246
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001247version 2.51
1248 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1249 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1250 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1251 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1252 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1253 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1254 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1255 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1256 suggestion.
1257
1258 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1259 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1260 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1261 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1262 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1263 a DHCP relay, if used.
1264 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1265
1266 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1267 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1268
1269 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1270 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1271 dhcp-option-force.
1272
1273 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1274 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1275 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1276
1277 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1278 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1279 the patch.
1280
1281 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1282
1283 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1284 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1285
1286 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1287 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1288 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1289 suggestion.
1290
1291 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1292 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1293 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1294 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1295 dhcp-optsfile.
1296
1297 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1298 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1299 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1300 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1301 suggestion.
1302
1303 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1304 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1305 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1306 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1307 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1308
1309 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1310 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1311 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1312 fragmented packets.
1313
1314 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1315 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1316
1317 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001321 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001322 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1323 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1324 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1325 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1326 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1327 and CVE: 2009-2957
1328
1329 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1330 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1331 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1332 CVE: 2009-2958
1333
1334
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001335version 2.49
1336 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1337 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1338
1339 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1340 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1341 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1342 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1343
1344 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001347version 2.48
1348 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1349 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1350 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001351
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001352 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1353 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1354 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001355
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001356 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1357 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1358 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001359
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001360 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1361 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1362 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1363 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001364
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001365 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1366 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001367
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001368 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1369 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1370 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1371 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001372
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001373 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1374 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1375 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001376
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001377 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1378 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1379 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001380
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001381 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001382
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001383 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1384 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1385 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1386 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1387 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1388 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1389 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1390 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1391 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001392
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001393 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1394 useful suggestions.
1395
1396 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1397 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1398 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1399
1400 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1401 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001402
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001403 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001405
1406version 2.47
1407 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1408
1409 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1410 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1411
1412 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1413 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1414 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1415
1416 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1417 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1418 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1419 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1420 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1421 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1422 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1423 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1424 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1425 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1426 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1427 Krafft for the bug report.
1428
1429 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1430
1431 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1432 Fix for this bug:
1433 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1434
1435 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1436 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1437 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1438 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1439
1440 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1441 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1442
1443 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1444
1445 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1446 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1447 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1448 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1449 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1450
1451 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1452 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1453
1454 No longer complain about blank lines in
1455 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1456
1457 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1458 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1459 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1460 for the bug report.
1461
1462 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1463 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1464 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1465 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1466
1467 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1468 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1469 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1470 as before.
1471 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1472 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1473 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1474
1475 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1476 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1477 Windows even when using supernetting.
1478 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1479 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1480 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1481 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1482
1483 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1484
1485 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1486 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1487 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1488 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1489 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1490 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1491 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001492
1493
1494version 2.46
1495 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1496 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1497 suggestion.
1498
1499 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1500 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1501 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1502 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1503 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1504
1505 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1506 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1507 based in their IP address.
1508
1509 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1510 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1511 a domain associated with each client, and only
1512 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1513 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1514 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1515 long as they are in different domains.
1516
1517 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1518 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1519 have now that it's variable.
1520
1521 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1522 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1523 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1524 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1525 potential.
1526
1527 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1528 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1529 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1530
1531 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1532 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1533
1534 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1535 which the DHCP request was received.
1536
1537 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1538 Laine for the patch.
1539
1540 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1541 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1542
1543 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1544 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1545 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1546 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1547 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1548 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1549 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1550 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1551 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1552 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1553 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1554
1555 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1556 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1557 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1558 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1559 improvement.
1560
1561 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1562 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1563 suggestions on this.
1564
1565 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1566 Fisher.
1567
1568 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1569
1570 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1571 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1572
1573 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1574
1575 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1576 up" event occurs.
1577
1578
1579version 2.45
1580 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1581 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1582 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1583 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1584
1585
1586version 2.44
1587 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1588 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1589 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1590
1591 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1592 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1593 never been reported in the wild.
1594
1595 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1596 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1597
1598 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1599 is large.
1600
1601 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1602 David Gilman.
1603
1604 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.

1607version 2.43
1608 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1609
1610 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1611 illegally.
1612
1613 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1614
1615 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1616 format.
1617
1618 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1619 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1620 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1621 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1622 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1623
1624 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1625 Rack for the bug report.
1626
1627 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1628 Bergquist.
1629
1630 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1631 option.
1632
1633 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1634 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1635
1636 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1637 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1638
1639 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1640 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1641 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1642 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1643 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1644 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1645 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1646 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1647 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1648 suggestions.
1649
1650 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1651 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1652 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1653
1654 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1655 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1656 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1657 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1658 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1659 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1660 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1661 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1662 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1663 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.

1665 Replace the random number generator, for better
1666 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1667 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1668 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1669 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1670 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1671 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1672
1673 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1674 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1675 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1676 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1677 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1678
1679 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
