1 version 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.
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).
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.
19 Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
20 suggesting this.
22 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
23 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
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.
34 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.
40 Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
41 and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
43 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.
47 Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
48 to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
50 Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
51 reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
53 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.
59 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.
63 Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero
64 terminator. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the bug report.
66 Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
67 RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
69 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.
74 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
75 via DBus too.
77 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.
85 Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
86 for the bug report.
88 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.
93 Add --force-fast-ra option. Another thanks to Uwe Schindler.
95 Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
96 in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
98 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.
104 Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
105 for sponsoring this development.
107 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
108 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
110 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
111 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
112 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
114 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
115 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
117 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.
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.
129 version 2.66
130 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
131 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
132 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
133 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
134 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
135 servers to be configured.
137 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
138 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
139 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
140 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
141 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
142 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
143 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
144 this idea.
146 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
147 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
148 patch.
150 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
151 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
152 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
153 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
154 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
155 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
156 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
158 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
159 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
160 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
162 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
163 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
164 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
165 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
166 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
167 bounty for this addition.
169 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
170 information-requests with some common configurations.
171 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
172 chasing the problem.
174 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
175 patch.
177 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
178 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
180 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
181 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
183 Handle the situation where libc headers define
184 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
185 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
186 Felker for the bug report.
188 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
190 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
191 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
192 the bug report.
194 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
197 version 2.65
198 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
199 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
200 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
202 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
203 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
205 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
208 version 2.64
209 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
210 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
211 spotting the problem.
213 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
214 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
215 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
216 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
217 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
218 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
220 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
221 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
223 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
224 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
226 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
227 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
229 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
230 Williams for the patch.
232 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
233 Roy Marples for the patch.
235 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
236 Rodriguez for the patch.
238 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
239 for the patch.
241 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
242 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
243 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
245 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
246 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
247 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
248 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
250 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
251 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
252 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
254 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
255 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
256 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
258 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
259 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
260 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
262 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
263 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
265 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
266 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
267 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
269 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
270 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
271 without setting source address and interface, since this
272 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
273 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
275 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
276 dhcp-range on a subnet.
279 version 2.63
280 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
282 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
283 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
285 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
286 stuff is pointless without that.
288 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
289 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
290 interfaces.
292 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
293 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
295 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
296 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
297 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
298 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
299 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
300 superceded by other mechanisms.
302 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
303 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
305 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
306 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
308 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
310 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
311 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
312 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
313 the suggestion.
315 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
316 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
317 spotted the ommission.
319 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
321 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
322 which overrides the default,
323 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
324 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
326 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
327 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
330 version 2.62
331 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
333 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
334 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
336 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
337 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
338 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
340 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
341 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
342 for spotting this.
344 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
345 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
346 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
348 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
350 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
351 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
352 his help nailing this.
354 version 2.61
355 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
356 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
357 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
358 addresses.
360 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
361 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
362 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
363 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
364 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
365 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
367 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
369 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
370 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
371 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
372 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
373 this down.
375 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
376 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
377 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
379 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
381 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
382 suggestion.
384 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
385 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
386 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
387 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
388 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
389 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
390 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
391 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
392 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
393 Gadgil.
395 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
396 the above.
398 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
399 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
400 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
401 Forkel.
403 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
404 work even if there is no interface carrying the
405 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
406 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
407 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
408 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
409 the idea and initial patch.
411 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
412 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
413 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
415 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
416 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
417 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
418 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
419 for existing connections, but new connections will use
420 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
421 renumbering at least possible.
423 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
424 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
426 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
427 using the settings provided for DHCP options
428 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
430 Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
431 SamLT for work on this.
433 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
434 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
435 name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
437 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
438 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
439 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
440 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
441 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
442 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
444 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
446 Give correct from-cache answers to explict CNAME queries.
447 Thanks to Rob Zwissler for spotting this.
449 Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
450 patch.
452 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
453 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
454 dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina
455 Ene for the patch.
457 Fix failure of TFTP over IPv4 on OpenBSD platform. Thanks
458 to Brad Smith for spotting this.
461 version 2.60
462 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
463 Flebbe for the patch.
465 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
466 which is not the primary address of an interface.
468 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
470 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
471 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
472 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
473 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
474 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
475 implementation.
477 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
478 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
479 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
480 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
481 set them from the make command line.
483 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
484 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
486 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
487 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
489 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
490 release tags or hash values.
492 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
493 containing many distinct addresses.
495 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
496 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
497 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
498 this.
500 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
501 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
503 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
504 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
505 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
506 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
508 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
509 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
510 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
511 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
512 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
513 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
515 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
516 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
517 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
518 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
519 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
520 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
521 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
522 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
523 These will be added as the standards mature.
524 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
525 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
526 testers who have got it this far.
528 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
529 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
530 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
531 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
532 enabling with --enable-ra.
534 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
535 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
536 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
537 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
539 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
541 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
544 version 2.59
545 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
546 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
547 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
548 report.
550 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
551 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
552 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
553 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
554 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
555 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
556 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
557 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
558 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
561 version 2.58
562 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
563 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
565 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
566 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
567 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
569 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
570 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
571 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
572 server-deployment applications need this.
574 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
575 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
576 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
577 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
578 in chasing this one down.
580 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
581 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
582 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
583 the problem.
585 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
586 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
587 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
588 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
589 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
590 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
592 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
593 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
594 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
595 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
596 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
597 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
598 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
599 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
601 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
602 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
604 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
605 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
606 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
607 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
609 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
610 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
612 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
613 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
614 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
615 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
616 Agrawal for the patch.
618 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
619 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
620 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
621 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
622 per-network values. So
623 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
624 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
625 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
626 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
627 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
628 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
630 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
631 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
632 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
633 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
634 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
635 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
636 a comprehensive test-case.
638 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
639 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
640 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
642 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
643 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
644 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
645 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
646 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
648 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
650 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
653 version 2.57
654 Add patches to allow build under Android.
656 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
657 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
658 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
659 effectively empty on Android.
661 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
662 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
663 wildcard.
665 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
666 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
667 spotting this.
669 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
670 IDN support continues to be included automatically
671 when i18n is included.
672 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
674 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
675 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
676 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
679 version 2.56
680 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
681 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
683 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
684 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
685 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
686 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
688 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
689 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
691 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
692 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
693 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
695 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
696 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
697 syslogd.
699 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
700 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
701 Petrin for the orignal patch.
703 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
704 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
705 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
707 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
708 option, on the command line.
710 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
711 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
713 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
714 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
715 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
716 to John Hallam for the patch.
718 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
719 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
720 character chunks instead.
722 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
723 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
724 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
725 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
727 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
728 transfer has completed succesfully.
730 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
731 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
732 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
733 which automatically creates
734 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
735 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
737 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
738 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
740 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
741 thanks for that.
743 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
744 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
745 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
746 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
747 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
748 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
749 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
750 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
751 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
753 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
754 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
755 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
756 set.
758 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
759 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
761 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
762 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
763 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
765 Edit
766 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
767 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
768 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
770 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
771 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
772 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
773 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
774 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
775 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
776 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
777 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
778 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
779 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
780 So:
781 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
782 --server=/google.com/#
783 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
784 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
785 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
786 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
787 William for pointing out the need for this.
789 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
790 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
791 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
793 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
794 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
795 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
796 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
798 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
799 dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks
800 to Fedor Kozhevnikov for spotting this.
803 version 2.55
804 Fix crash when /etc/ethers is in use. Thanks to
805 Gianluigi Tiesi for finding this.
807 Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
808 finding this one.
810 Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)
811 options.
814 version 2.54
815 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
816 which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.
819 version 2.53
820 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
821 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
823 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
824 generated by gcc 4.4.
826 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
827 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
829 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
830 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
831 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
833 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
834 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
835 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
836 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
837 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
838 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
839 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
840 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
841 the documentation and new-style config files should be
842 much less confusing.
844 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
845 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
846 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
848 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
850 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
852 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
853 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
854 finding this.
856 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
857 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
858 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
859 from the client.
861 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
862 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
863 finding this.
865 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
866 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
867 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
868 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
869 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
870 server-override option.
872 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
873 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
874 allows a single line of the form
875 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
876 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
877 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
878 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
879 irrespective of the existance or lack of
880 interface=<interface>
881 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
882 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
883 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
884 configuration.
886 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
888 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
889 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
891 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
892 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
893 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
894 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
896 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
897 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
898 file, not the process/descriptor.
900 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
901 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
903 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
904 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
905 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
906 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
907 this and testing the fix.
909 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
910 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
911 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
913 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
914 upstream servers: this allows something like
915 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
916 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
917 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
918 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
920 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
921 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
922 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
923 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
924 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
925 work on this.
927 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
928 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
929 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
930 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
931 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
932 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
933 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
935 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
937 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
938 than one server available for a domain, eg.
939 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
940 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
941 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
942 here.
944 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
946 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
947 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
949 Fix regression which caused configuration like
950 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
951 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
952 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
953 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
955 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
956 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
958 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
959 is set.
961 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
962 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
964 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
966 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
968 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
970 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
972 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
973 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
974 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
976 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
979 version 2.52
980 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
981 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
982 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
983 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
984 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
985 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
986 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
987 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
989 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
990 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
991 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
992 necessary for some *WRT distros.
994 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
995 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
996 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
997 when dnsmasq is first started.
999 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1000 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1001 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1002 with certain clients.
1004 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1005 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1006 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1008 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1009 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1010 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1011 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1012 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1013 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1014 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1015 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1016 numbers delimited by dots.
1018 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1019 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1021 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1022 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1024 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1025 contrib/Solaris10.
1027 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1028 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1029 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1030 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1031 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1032 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1033 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1035 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1036 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1037 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1038 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1040 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1041 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1042 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1044 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1045 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1046 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1048 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1049 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1050 looks like this:
1051 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1053 Add some application specific code to assist in
1054 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1055 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1057 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1058 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1059 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1060 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1062 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
1063 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1065 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1066 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1067 this.
1069 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1070 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1071 providing this.
1073 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1074 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1076 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1078 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1080 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1082 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1083 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1084 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1085 finding and analysing the problem.
1088 version 2.51
1089 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1090 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1091 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1092 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1093 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1094 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1095 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1096 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1097 suggestion.
1099 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1100 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1101 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1102 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1103 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1104 a DHCP relay, if used.
1105 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1107 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1108 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1110 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1111 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1112 dhcp-option-force.
1114 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1115 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1116 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1118 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1119 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1120 the patch.
1122 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1124 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1125 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1127 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1128 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1129 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1130 suggestion.
1132 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1133 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1134 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1135 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1136 dhcp-optsfile.
1138 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1139 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1140 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1141 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1142 suggestion.
1144 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1145 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1146 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1147 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1148 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1150 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1151 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1152 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1153 fragmented packets.
1155 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1156 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1158 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1161 version 2.50
1162 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
1163 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1164 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1165 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1166 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1167 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1168 and CVE: 2009-2957
1170 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1171 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1172 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1173 CVE: 2009-2958
1176 version 2.49
1177 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1178 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1180 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1181 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1182 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1183 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1185 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1188 version 2.48
1189 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1190 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1191 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
1193 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1194 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1195 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
1197 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1198 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1199 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
1201 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1202 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1203 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1204 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
1206 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1207 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
1209 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1210 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1211 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1212 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1214 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1215 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1216 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
1218 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1219 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1220 the suggestion.
1222 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
1224 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1225 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1226 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1227 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1228 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1229 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1230 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1231 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1232 and Michael Brown for assistance.
1234 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1235 useful suggestions.
1237 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1238 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1239 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1241 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1242 configuration files only.
1244 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1247 version 2.47
1248 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1250 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1251 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1253 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1254 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1255 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1257 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1258 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1259 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1260 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1261 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1262 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1263 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1264 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1265 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1266 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1267 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1268 Krafft for the bug report.
1270 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1272 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1273 Fix for this bug:
1274 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1276 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1277 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1278 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1279 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1281 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1282 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1284 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1286 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1287 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1288 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1289 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1290 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1292 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1293 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1295 No longer complain about blank lines in
1296 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1298 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1299 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1300 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1301 for the bug report.
1303 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1304 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1305 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1306 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1308 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1309 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1310 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1311 as before.
1312 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1313 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1314 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1316 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1317 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1318 Windows even when using supernetting.
1319 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1320 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1321 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1322 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1324 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1326 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1327 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1328 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1329 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1330 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1331 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1332 dnsmasq.
1335 version 2.46
1336 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1337 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1338 suggestion.
1340 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1341 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1342 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1343 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1344 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1346 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1347 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1348 based in their IP address.
1350 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1351 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1352 a domain associated with each client, and only
1353 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1354 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1355 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1356 long as they are in different domains.
1358 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1359 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1360 have now that it's variable.
1362 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1363 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1364 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1365 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1366 potential.
1368 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1369 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1370 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1372 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1373 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1375 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1376 which the DHCP request was received.
1378 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1379 Laine for the patch.
1381 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1382 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1384 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1385 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1386 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1387 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1388 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1389 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1390 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1391 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1392 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1393 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1394 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1396 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1397 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1398 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1399 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1400 improvement.
1402 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1403 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1404 suggestions on this.
1406 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1407 Fisher.
1409 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1411 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1412 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1414 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1416 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1417 up" event occurs.
1420 version 2.45
1421 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1422 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1423 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1424 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1427 version 2.44
1428 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1429 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1430 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1432 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1433 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1434 never been reported in the wild.
1436 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1437 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1439 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1440 is large.
1442 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1443 David Gilman.
1445 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
1448 version 2.43
1449 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1451 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1452 illegally.
1454 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1456 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1457 format.
1459 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1460 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1461 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1462 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1463 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1465 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1466 Rack for the bug report.
1468 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1469 Bergquist.
1471 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1472 option.
1474 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1475 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1477 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1478 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1480 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1481 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1482 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1483 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1484 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1485 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1486 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1487 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1488 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1489 suggestions.
1491 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1492 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1493 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1495 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1496 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1497 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1498 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1499 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1500 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1501 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1502 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1503 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1504 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1506 Replace the random number generator, for better
1507 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1508 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1509 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1510 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1511 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1512 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1514 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1515 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1516 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1517 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1518 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1520 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1523 version 2.42
