Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +01001version 2.64
2 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
3 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
4 spotting the problem.
5
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +01006 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
7 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
8 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
9 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
10 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
11 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
12
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +010013 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
14 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
15
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +010016 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
17 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
18
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +010019 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
20 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
21
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +010022 Add SetServersEX method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
23 Williams for the patch.
24
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +010025
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +010026version 2.63
27 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
28
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +010029 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
30 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
31
32 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
33 stuff is pointless without that.
34
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +010035 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
36 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
37 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +010038
39 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
40 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +010041
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +010042 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
43 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
44 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
45 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
46 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
47 superceded by other mechanisms.
48
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +010049 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
50 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
51
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +010052 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
53 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
54
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +010055 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +010056
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +010057 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
58 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
59 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
60 the suggestion.
61
62 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
63 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
64 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +010065
66 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +010067
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +010068 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
69 which overrides the default,
70 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
71 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
72
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +010073 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
74 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
75
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +010076
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +010077version 2.62
78 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
79
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +010080 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
81 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
82
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +010083 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
84 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
85 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
86
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +010087 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
88 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
89 for spotting this.
90
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +010091 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
92 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
93 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
94
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +010095 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
96
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +010097 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
98 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
99 his help nailing this.
100
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000101version 2.61
102 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
103 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
104 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
105 addresses.
106
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100107 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
108 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
109 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
110 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
111 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
112 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000113
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000114 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
115
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000116 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
117 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
118 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100119 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000120 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000121
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000122 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
123 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
124 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
125
126 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
127
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000128 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
129 suggestion.
130
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000131 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
132 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
133 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
134 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
135 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
136 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
137 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
138 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
139 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
140 Gadgil.
141
142 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
143 the above.
144
145 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
146 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000147 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
148 Forkel.
149
150 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
151 work even if there is no interface carrying the
152 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
153 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
154 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
155 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
156 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000157
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000158 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
159 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
160 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
161
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100162 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
163 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
164 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
165 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
166 for existing connections, but new connections will use
167 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
168 renumbering at least possible.
169
170 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100171 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100172
173 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
174 using the settings provided for DHCP options
175 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +0100176
177 Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
178 SamLT for work on this.
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100179
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100180 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
181 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
182 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100183
184 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100185 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100186 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
187 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
188 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100189 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
190
191 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelleyd1c759c2012-04-16 17:26:19 +0100192
193 Give correct from-cache answers to explict CNAME queries.
194 Thanks to Rob Zwissler for spotting this.
Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100195
Simon Kelleyfc92ead2012-04-22 21:28:24 +0100196 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100197 patch.
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100198
199 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
200 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100201 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina
Simon Kelleydcffad22012-04-24 15:25:18 +0100202 Ene for the patch.
Simon Kelley19d69be2012-04-27 10:14:34 +0100203
204 Fix failure of TFTP over IPv4 on OpenBSD platform. Thanks
205 to Brad Smith for spotting this.
Simon Kelley61ce6002012-04-20 21:28:49 +0100206
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100207
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000208version 2.60
209 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
210 Flebbe for the patch.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100211
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000212 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
213 which is not the primary address of an interface.
214
215 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
216
217 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
218 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
219 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
220 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
221 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
222 implementation.
223
224 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
225 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
226 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
227 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
228 set them from the make command line.
229
230 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
231 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
232
233 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
234 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
235
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +0000236 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
237 release tags or hash values.
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000238
Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +0000239 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
240 containing many distinct addresses.
241
242 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
243 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
244 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
245 this.
246
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +0000247 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
248 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
249
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +0000250 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
251 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
252 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
253 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
254
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000255 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
256 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
257 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
258 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +0000259 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +0000260 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
261
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +0000262 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
263 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
264 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
265 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
266 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
267 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
268 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
269 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
270 These will be added as the standards mature.
271 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
272 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
273 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +0000274
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +0000275 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
276 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
277 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
278 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
279 enabling with --enable-ra.
280
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000281 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
282 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
283 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
284 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +0000285
286 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +0000287
Simon Kelleydf66e342012-03-04 20:04:22 +0000288 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
289
290
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000291version 2.59
292 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
293 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
294 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
295 report.
296
297 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
298 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
299 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
300 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
301 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
302 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
303 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
304 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
305 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100306
307
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +0100308version 2.58
309 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
310 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
311
312 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
313 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
314 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
315
316 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
317 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
318 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
319 server-deployment applications need this.
320
321 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
322 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
323 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
324 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
325 in chasing this one down.
326
327 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
328 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
329 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
330 the problem.
331
332 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
333 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
334 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
335 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
336 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
337 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
338
339 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
340 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
341 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
342 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
343 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
344 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
345 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
346 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
347
348 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
349 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
350
351 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
352 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
353 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
354 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
355
356 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
357 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
358
359 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
360 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
361 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
362 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
363 Agrawal for the patch.
364
365 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
366 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
367 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
368 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
369 per-network values. So
370 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
371 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
372 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
373 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
374 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
375 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
376
377 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
378 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
379 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
380 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
381 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
382 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
383 a comprehensive test-case.
384
385 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
386 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
387 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
388
389 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
390 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
391 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
392 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
393 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
394
395 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000400version 2.57
401 Add patches to allow build under Android.
402
403 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
404 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
405 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
406 effectively empty on Android.
407
408 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
409 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
410 wildcard.
411
412 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
413 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
414 spotting this.
415
416 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
417 IDN support continues to be included automatically
418 when i18n is included.
419 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
420
421 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
422 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
423 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
424
425
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000426version 2.56
427 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
428 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
429
430 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
431 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
432 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
433 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
434
435 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
436 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
437
438 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
439 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
440 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
441
442 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
443 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
444 syslogd.
445
446 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
447 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
448 Petrin for the orignal patch.
449
450 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
451 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
452 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
453
454 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
455 option, on the command line.
456
457 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
458 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
459
460 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
461 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
462 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
463 to John Hallam for the patch.
464
465 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
466 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
467 character chunks instead.
468
469 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
470 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
471 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
472 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
473
474 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
475 transfer has completed succesfully.
476
477 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
478 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
479 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
480 which automatically creates
481 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
482 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
483
484 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
485 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
486
487 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
488 thanks for that.
489
490 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
491 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
492 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
493 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
494 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
495 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
496 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
497 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
498 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
499
500 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
501 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
502 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
503 set.
504
505 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
506 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
507
508 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
509 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
510 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
511
512 Edit
513 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
514 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
515 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
516
517 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
518 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
519 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
520 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
521 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
522 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
523 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
524 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
525 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
526 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
527 So:
528 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
529 --server=/google.com/#
530 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
531 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
532 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
533 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
534 William for pointing out the need for this.
535
536 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
537 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
538 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
539
540 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
541 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
542 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
543 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
544
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +0000545 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
546 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000557 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +0000562 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100566version 2.53
567 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
568 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
569
570 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
571 generated by gcc 4.4.
572
573 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
574 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
575
576 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
577 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
578 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
579
580 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
581 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
582 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
583 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
584 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
585 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
586 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
587 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
588 the documentation and new-style config files should be
589 much less confusing.
590
591 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
592 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
593 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
594
595 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
596
597 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
598
599 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
600 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
601 finding this.
602
603 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
604 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
605 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
606 from the client.
607
608 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
609 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
610 finding this.
611
612 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
613 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
614 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
615 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
616 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
617 server-override option.
618
619 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
620 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
621 allows a single line of the form
622 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
623 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
624 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
625 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
626 irrespective of the existance or lack of
627 interface=<interface>
628 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
629 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
630 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
631 configuration.
632
633 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
634
635 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
636 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
637
638 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
639 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
640 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
641 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
642
643 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
644 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
645 file, not the process/descriptor.
646
647 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
648 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
649
650 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
651 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
652 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
653 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
654 this and testing the fix.
655
656 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
657 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
658 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
659
660 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
661 upstream servers: this allows something like
662 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
663 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
664 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
665 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
666
667 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
668 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
669 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
670 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
671 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
672 work on this.
673
674 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
675 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
676 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
677 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
678 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
679 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
680 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
681
682 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
683
684 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
685 than one server available for a domain, eg.
686 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
687 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
688 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
689 here.
690
691 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
692
693 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
694 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
695
696 Fix regression which caused configuration like
697 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
698 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
699 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
700 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
701
702 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
703 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
704
705 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
706 is set.
707
708 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
709 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
710
711 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
712
713 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
714
715 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
716
717 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
718
719 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
720 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
721 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
722
723 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
724
725
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000726version 2.52
727 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
728 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
729 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
730 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
731 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
732 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
733 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
734 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
735
736 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
737 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
738 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
739 necessary for some *WRT distros.
740
741 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
742 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
743 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
744 when dnsmasq is first started.
745
746 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
747 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
748 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
749 with certain clients.
750
751 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
752 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
753 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
754
755 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
756 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
757 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
758 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
759 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
760 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
761 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
762 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
763 numbers delimited by dots.
764
765 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
766 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
767
768 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
769 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
770
771 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
772 contrib/Solaris10.
773
774 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
775 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
776 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
777 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
778 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
779 addresses available in such an installation removes a
780 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
781
782 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
783 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
784 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
785 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
786
787 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
788 the lease-change script in the environment variable
789 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
790
791 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
792 Options". The syntax looks like this:
793 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
794
795 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
796 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
797 looks like this:
798 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
799
800 Add some application specific code to assist in
801 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
802 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
803
804 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
805 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
806 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
807 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
808
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100809 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +0000810 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
811
812 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
813 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
814 this.
815
816 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
817 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
818 providing this.
819
820 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
821 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
822
823 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

828
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +0100829 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
830 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
831 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
832 finding and analysing the problem.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100835version 2.51
836 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
837 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
838 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
839 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
840 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
841 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
842 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
843 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
844 suggestion.
845
846 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
847 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
848 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
849 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
850 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
851 a DHCP relay, if used.
852 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
853
854 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
855 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
856
857 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
858 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
859 dhcp-option-force.
860
861 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
862 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
863 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
864
865 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
866 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
867 the patch.
868
869 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
870
871 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
872 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
873
874 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
875 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
876 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
877 suggestion.
878
879 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
880 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
881 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
882 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
883 dhcp-optsfile.
884
885 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
886 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
887 is retried. This should improve performance when there
888 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
889 suggestion.
890
891 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
892 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
893 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
894 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
895 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
896
897 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
898 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
899 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
900 fragmented packets.
901
902 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
903 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
904
905 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +0100908version 2.50
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +0100909 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +0100910 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
911 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
912 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
913 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
914 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
915 and CVE: 2009-2957
916
917 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
918 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
919 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
920 CVE: 2009-2958
921
922
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +0100923version 2.49
924 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
925 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
926
927 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
928 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
929 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
930 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
931
932 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100935version 2.48
936 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
937 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
938 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100940 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
941 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
942 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000943
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100944 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
945 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
946 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000947
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100948 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
949 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
950 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
951 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000952
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100953 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
954 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000955
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100956 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
957 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
958 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
959 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000960
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100961 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
962 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
963 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000964
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100965 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
966 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
967 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +0000968
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100969 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000970
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100971 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
972 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
973 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
974 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
975 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
976 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
977 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
978 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
979 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +0000980
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100981 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
982 useful suggestions.
983
984 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
985 this, edit src/config.h or build with
986 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
987
988 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
989 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +0100990
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +0100991 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +0000993
994version 2.47
995 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
996
997 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
998 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
999
1000 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1001 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1002 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1003
1004 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1005 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1006 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1007 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1008 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1009 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1010 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1011 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1012 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1013 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1014 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1015 Krafft for the bug report.
1016
1017 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1018
1019 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1020 Fix for this bug:
1021 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1022
1023 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1024 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1025 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1026 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1027
1028 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1029 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1030
1031 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1032
1033 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1034 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1035 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1036 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1037 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1038
1039 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1040 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1041
1042 No longer complain about blank lines in
1043 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1044
1045 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1046 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1047 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1048 for the bug report.
1049
1050 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1051 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1052 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1053 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1054
1055 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1056 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1057 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1058 as before.
1059 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1060 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1061 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1062
1063 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1064 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1065 Windows even when using supernetting.
1066 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1067 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1068 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1069 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1070
1071 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1072
1073 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1074 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1075 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1076 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1077 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1078 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1079 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001080
1081
1082version 2.46
1083 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1084 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1085 suggestion.
1086
1087 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1088 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1089 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1090 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1091 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1092
1093 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1094 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1095 based in their IP address.
1096
1097 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1098 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1099 a domain associated with each client, and only
1100 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1101 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1102 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1103 long as they are in different domains.
1104
1105 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1106 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1107 have now that it's variable.
1108
1109 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1110 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1111 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1112 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1113 potential.
1114
1115 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1116 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1117 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1118
1119 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1120 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1121
1122 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1123 which the DHCP request was received.
1124
1125 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1126 Laine for the patch.
1127
1128 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1129 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1130
1131 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1132 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1133 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1134 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1135 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1136 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1137 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1138 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1139 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1140 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1141 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1142
1143 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1144 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1145 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1146 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1147 improvement.
1148
1149 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1150 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1151 suggestions on this.
1152
1153 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1154 Fisher.
1155
1156 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1157
1158 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1159 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1160
1161 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1162
1163 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1164 up" event occurs.
1165
1166
1167version 2.45
1168 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1169 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1170 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1171 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1172
1173
1174version 2.44
1175 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1176 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1177 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1178
1179 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1180 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1181 never been reported in the wild.
1182
1183 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1184 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1185
1186 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1187 is large.
1188
1189 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1190 David Gilman.
1191
1192 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1193
1194
1195version 2.43
1196 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1197
1198 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1199 illegally.
1200
1201 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1202
1203 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1204 format.
1205
1206 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1207 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1208 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1209 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1210 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1211
1212 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1213 Rack for the bug report.
1214
1215 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1216 Bergquist.
1217
1218 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1219 option.
1220
1221 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1222 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1223
1224 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1225 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1226
1227 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1228 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1229 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1230 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1231 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1232 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1233 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1234 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1235 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1236 suggestions.
1237
1238 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1239 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1240 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1241
1242 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1243 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1244 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1245 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1246 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1247 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1248 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1249 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1250 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1251 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1252
1253 Replace the random number generator, for better
1254 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1255 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1256 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1257 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1258 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1259 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1260
1261 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1262 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1263 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1264 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1265 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1266
1267 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
