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
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100136 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
137 for sponsoring this feature.
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100138
Vic043c2712013-10-04 15:09:13 +0100139
Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000140version 2.66
141 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
142 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
143 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
144 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
145 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
146 servers to be configured.
147
148 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
149 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
150 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
151 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
152 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
153 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
154 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
155 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000156
157 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000158 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
159 patch.
160
161 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
162 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
163 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
164 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
165 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
166 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
167 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000168
169 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
170 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
171 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000172
173 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
174 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000175 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000176 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
177 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
178 bounty for this addition.
179
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000180 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
181 information-requests with some common configurations.
182 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
183 chasing the problem.
184
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000185 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
186 patch.
187
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000188 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000189 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000190
191 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
192 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000193
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100194 Handle the situation where libc headers define
195 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
196 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
197 Felker for the bug report.
198
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100199 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100200
201 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
202 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
203 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100204
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100205 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
206
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000207
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000208version 2.65
209 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
210 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
211 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
212
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000213 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
214 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000215
216 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000217
218
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100219version 2.64
220 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
221 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
222 spotting the problem.
223
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100224 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
225 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
226 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
227 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
228 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
229 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
230
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100231 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
232 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
233
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100234 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
235 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
236
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100237 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
238 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
239
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000240 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100241 Williams for the patch.
242
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000243 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
244 Roy Marples for the patch.
245
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100246 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
247 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100248
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100249 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
250 for the patch.
251
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100252 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
253 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
254 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
255
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100256 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
257 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
258 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
259 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
260
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100261 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
262 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
263 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
264
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100265 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
266 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
267 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
268
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000269 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
270 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
271 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000272
273 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
274 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000275
276 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
277 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
278 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000279
280 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
281 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
282 without setting source address and interface, since this
283 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
284 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
285
286 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
287 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100288
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000289
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100290version 2.63
291 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
292
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100293 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
294 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
295
296 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
297 stuff is pointless without that.
298
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100299 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
300 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
301 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100302
303 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
304 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100305
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100306 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
307 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
308 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
309 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
310 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
311 superceded by other mechanisms.
312
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100313 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
314 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
315
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100316 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
317 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
318
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100319 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100320
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100321 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
322 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
323 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
324 the suggestion.
325
326 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
327 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
328 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100329
330 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100332 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
333 which overrides the default,
334 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
335 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
336
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100337 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router

Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100344 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
345 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
346
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100347 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
348 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
349 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
350
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100351 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
352 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
353 for spotting this.
354
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100355 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
356 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
357 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
358
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100359 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
360
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100361 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
362 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
363 his help nailing this.
364
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000365version 2.61
366 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
367 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
368 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
369 addresses.
370
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100371 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
372 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
373 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
374 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
375 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
376 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000377
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000378 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
379
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000380 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
381 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
382 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100383 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000384 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000385
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000386 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
387 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
388 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
389
390 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
391
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000392 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
393 suggestion.
394
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000395 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
396 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
397 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
398 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
399 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
400 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
401 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
402 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
403 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
404 Gadgil.
405
406 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
407 the above.
408
409 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
410 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000411 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
412 Forkel.
413
414 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
415 work even if there is no interface carrying the
416 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
417 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
418 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
419 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
420 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000421
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000422 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
423 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
424 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
425
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100426 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
427 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
428 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
429 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
430 for existing connections, but new connections will use
431 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
432 renumbering at least possible.
433
434 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100435 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100436
437 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
438 using the settings provided for DHCP options
439 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +0100440
441 Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
442 SamLT for work on this.
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100443
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100444 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
445 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
446 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100447
448 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100449 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100450 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
451 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
452 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100453 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
454
455 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +0100456
457 Give correct from-cache answers to explict CNAME queries.
458 Thanks to Rob Zwissler for spotting this.
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100459
Simon Kelleyfc92ead2012-04-22 21:28:24 +0100460 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100461 patch.
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100462
463 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
464 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100465 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100466 Ene for the patch.
Simon Kelley19d69be2012-04-27 10:14:34 +0100467
468 Fix failure of TFTP over IPv4 on OpenBSD platform. Thanks
469 to Brad Smith for spotting this.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000472version 2.60
473 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
474 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100475
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000476 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
477 which is not the primary address of an interface.
478
479 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
480
481 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
482 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
483 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
484 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
485 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
486 implementation.
487
488 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
489 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
490 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
491 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
492 set them from the make command line.
493
494 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
495 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
496
497 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
498 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
499
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000500 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
501 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000502
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000503 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
504 containing many distinct addresses.
505
506 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
507 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
508 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
509 this.
510
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000511 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
512 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
513
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000514 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
515 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
516 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
517 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
518
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000519 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
520 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
521 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
522 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000523 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000524 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
525
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000526 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
527 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
528 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
529 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
530 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
531 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
532 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
533 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
534 These will be added as the standards mature.
535 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
536 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
537 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000538
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000539 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
540 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
541 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
542 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
543 enabling with --enable-ra.
544
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000545 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
546 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
547 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
548 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000549
550 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000551
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000552 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
553
554
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000555version 2.59
556 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
557 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
558 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
559 report.
560
561 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
562 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
563 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
564 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
565 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
566 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
567 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
568 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
569 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100570
571
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100572version 2.58
573 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
574 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
575
576 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
577 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
578 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
579
580 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
581 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
582 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
583 server-deployment applications need this.
584
585 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
586 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
587 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
588 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
589 in chasing this one down.
590
591 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
592 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
593 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
594 the problem.
595
596 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
597 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
598 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
599 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
600 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
601 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
602
603 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
604 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
605 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
606 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
607 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
608 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
609 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
610 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
611
612 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
613 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
614
615 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
616 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
617 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
618 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
619
620 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
621 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
622
623 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
624 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
625 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
626 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
627 Agrawal for the patch.
628
629 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
630 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
631 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
632 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
633 per-network values. So
634 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
635 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
636 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
637 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
638 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
639 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
640
641 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
642 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
643 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
644 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
645 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
646 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
647 a comprehensive test-case.
648
649 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
650 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +0100651 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100652
653 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
654 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
655 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
656 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
657 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
658
659 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
660
661 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
662
663
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000664version 2.57
665 Add patches to allow build under Android.
666
667 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
668 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
669 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
670 effectively empty on Android.
671
672 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
673 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
674 wildcard.
675
676 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
677 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
678 spotting this.
679
680 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
681 IDN support continues to be included automatically
682 when i18n is included.
683 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
684
685 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
686 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
687 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
688
689
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000690version 2.56
691 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
692 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
693
694 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
695 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
696 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
697 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
698
699 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
700 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
701
702 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
703 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
704 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
705
706 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
707 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
708 syslogd.
709
710 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
711 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
712 Petrin for the orignal patch.
713
714 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
715 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
716 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
717
718 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
719 option, on the command line.
720
721 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
722 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
723
724 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
725 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
726 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
727 to John Hallam for the patch.
728
729 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
730 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
731 character chunks instead.
732
733 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
734 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
735 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
736 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
737
738 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
739 transfer has completed succesfully.
740
741 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
742 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
743 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
744 which automatically creates
745 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
746 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
747
748 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
749 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
750
751 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
752 thanks for that.
753
754 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
755 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
756 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
757 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
758 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
759 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
760 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
761 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
762 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
763
764 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
765 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
766 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
767 set.
768
769 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
770 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
771
772 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
773 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
774 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
775
776 Edit
777 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
778 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
779 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
780
781 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
782 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
783 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
784 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
785 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
786 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
787 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
788 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
789 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
790 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
791 So:
792 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
793 --server=/google.com/#
794 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
795 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
796 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
797 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
798 William for pointing out the need for this.
799
800 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
801 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
802 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
803
804 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
805 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
806 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
807 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100830version 2.53
831 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
832 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
833
834 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
835 generated by gcc 4.4.
836
837 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
838 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
839
840 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
841 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
842 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
843
844 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
845 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
846 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
847 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
848 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
849 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
850 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
851 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
852 the documentation and new-style config files should be
853 much less confusing.
854
855 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
856 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
857 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
858
859 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
860
861 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
862
863 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
864 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
865 finding this.
866
867 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
868 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
869 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
870 from the client.
871
872 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
873 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
874 finding this.
875
876 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
877 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
878 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
879 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
880 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
881 server-override option.
882
883 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
884 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
885 allows a single line of the form
886 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
887 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
888 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
889 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
890 irrespective of the existance or lack of
891 interface=<interface>
892 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
893 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
894 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
895 configuration.
896
897 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
898
899 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
900 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
901
902 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
903 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
904 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
905 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
906
907 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
908 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
909 file, not the process/descriptor.
910
911 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
912 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
913
914 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
915 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
916 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
917 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
918 this and testing the fix.
919
920 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
921 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
922 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
923
924 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
925 upstream servers: this allows something like
926 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
927 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
928 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
929 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
930
931 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
932 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
933 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
934 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
935 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
936 work on this.
937
938 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
939 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
940 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
941 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
942 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
943 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
944 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
945
946 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
947
948 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
949 than one server available for a domain, eg.
950 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
951 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
952 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
953 here.
954
955 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
956
957 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
958 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
959
960 Fix regression which caused configuration like
961 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
962 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
963 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
964 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
965
966 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
967 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
968
969 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
970 is set.
971
972 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
973 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
974
975 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
976
977 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
978
979 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
980
981 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
982
983 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
984 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
985 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
986
987 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

989
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000990version 2.52
991 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
992 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
993 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
994 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
995 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
996 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
997 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
998 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
999
1000 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1001 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1002 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1003 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1004
1005 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1006 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1007 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1008 when dnsmasq is first started.
1009
1010 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1011 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1012 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1013 with certain clients.
1014
1015 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1016 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1017 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1018
1019 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1020 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1021 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1022 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1023 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1024 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1025 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1026 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1027 numbers delimited by dots.
1028
1029 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1030 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1031
1032 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1033 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1034
1035 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1036 contrib/Solaris10.
1037
1038 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1039 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1040 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1041 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1042 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1043 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1044 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1045
1046 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1047 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1048 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1049 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1050
1051 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1052 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1053 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1054
1055 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1056 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1057 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1058
1059 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1060 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1061 looks like this:
1062 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1063
1064 Add some application specific code to assist in
1065 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1066 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1067
1068 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1069 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1070 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1071 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1072
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001073 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001074 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1075
1076 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1077 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1078 this.
1079
1080 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1081 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1082 providing this.
1083
1084 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1085 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001093 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1094 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1095 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1096 finding and analysing the problem.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001099version 2.51
1100 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1101 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1102 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1103 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1104 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1105 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1106 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1107 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1108 suggestion.
1109
1110 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1111 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1112 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1113 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1114 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1115 a DHCP relay, if used.
1116 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1117
1118 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1119 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1120
1121 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1122 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1123 dhcp-option-force.
1124
1125 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1126 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1127 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1128
1129 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1130 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1131 the patch.
1132
1133 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1134
1135 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1136 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1137
1138 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1139 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1140 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1141 suggestion.
1142
1143 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1144 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1145 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1146 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1147 dhcp-optsfile.
1148
1149 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1150 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1151 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1152 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1153 suggestion.
1154
1155 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1156 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1157 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1158 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1159 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1160
1161 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1162 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1163 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1164 fragmented packets.
1165
1166 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1167 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1168

1188 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1189 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1190
1191 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1192 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1193 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1194 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1195

1226 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1227 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001228
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001229 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1230 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1231 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001232
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001233 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001234
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001235 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1236 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1237 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1238 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1239 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1240 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1241 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1242 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1243 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001244
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001245 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1246 useful suggestions.
1247
1248 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1249 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1250 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1251
1252 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1253 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001254
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001255 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001257
1258version 2.47
1259 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1260
1261 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1262 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1263
1264 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1265 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1266 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1267
1268 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1269 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1270 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1271 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1272 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1273 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1274 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1275 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1276 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1277 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1278 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1279 Krafft for the bug report.
1280
1281 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1282
1283 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1284 Fix for this bug:
1285 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1286
1287 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1288 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1289 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1290 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1291
1292 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1293 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1294
1295 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1296
1297 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1298 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1299 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1300 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1301 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1302
1303 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1304 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1305
1306 No longer complain about blank lines in
1307 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1308
1309 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1310 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1311 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1312 for the bug report.
1313
1314 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1315 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1316 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1317 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1318
1319 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1320 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1321 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1322 as before.
1323 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1324 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1325 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1326
1327 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1328 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1329 Windows even when using supernetting.
1330 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1331 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1332 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1333 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1334
1335 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1336
1337 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1338 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1339 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1340 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1341 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1342 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1343 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001344
1345
1346version 2.46
1347 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1348 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1349 suggestion.
1350
1351 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1352 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1353 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1354 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1355 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1356
1357 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1358 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1359 based in their IP address.
1360
1361 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1362 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1363 a domain associated with each client, and only
1364 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1365 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1366 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1367 long as they are in different domains.
1368
1369 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1370 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1371 have now that it's variable.
1372
1373 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1374 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1375 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1376 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1377 potential.
1378
1379 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1380 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1381 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1382
1383 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1384 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1385
1386 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1387 which the DHCP request was received.
1388
1389 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1390 Laine for the patch.
1391
1392 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1393 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1394
1395 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1396 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1397 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1398 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1399 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1400 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1401 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1402 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1403 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1404 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1405 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1406
1407 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1408 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1409 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1410 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1411 improvement.
1412
1413 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1414 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1415 suggestions on this.
1416
1417 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1418 Fisher.
1419
1420 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1421
1422 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1423 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1424
1425 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1426
1427 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1428 up" event occurs.
1429
1430
1431version 2.45
1432 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1433 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1434 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1435 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1436
1437
1438version 2.44
1439 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1440 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1441 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1442
1443 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1444 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1445 never been reported in the wild.
1446
1447 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1448 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1449
1450 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1451 is large.
1452
1453 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1454 David Gilman.
1455
1456 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1457
1458
1459version 2.43
1460 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1461
1462 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1463 illegally.
1464
1465 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1466
1467 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1468 format.
1469
1470 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1471 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1472 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1473 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1474 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1475
1476 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1477 Rack for the bug report.
1478
1479 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1480 Bergquist.
1481
1482 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1483 option.
1484
1485 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1486 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1487
1488 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1489 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1490
1491 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1492 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1493 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1494 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1495 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1496 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1497 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1498 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1499 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1500 suggestions.
1501
1502 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1503 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1504 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1505
1506 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1507 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1508 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1509 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1510 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1511 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1512 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1513 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1514 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1515 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1516
1517 Replace the random number generator, for better
1518 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1519 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1520 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1521 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1522 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1523 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1524
1525 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1526 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1527 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1528 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1529 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1530
1531 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
