SK
1version 2.66
2 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
3 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
4 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
5 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
6 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
7 servers to be configured.
8
9 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
10 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
11 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
12 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
13 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
14 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
15 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
16 this idea.

19 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
20 patch.
21
22 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
23 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
24 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
25 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
26 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
27 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
28 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.

30 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
31 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
32 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.

34 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
35 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the

SK
77 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
78 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
79 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
80 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
81 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
82 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.

SK
109 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
110 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
111 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
112 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.

SK
132
133 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
134 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
135 without setting source address and interface, since this
136 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
137 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

146 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
147 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.

SK
159 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
160 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
161 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
162 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
163 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
164 superceded by other mechanisms.

174 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
175 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
176 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
177 the suggestion.

215 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
216 his help nailing this.

eabc6dd7
SK
218version 2.61
219 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
220 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
221 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
222 addresses.
223
01d1b8dd
SK
224 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
225 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
226 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
227 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
228 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
229 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
7023e382 230

SK
231 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
232
8643ec7f
SK
233 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
234 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
235 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
8358e0f4 236 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
8643ec7f 237 this down.
eabc6dd7 238
8643ec7f
SK
239 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
240 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
241 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
242
243 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.

SK
248 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
249 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
250 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
251 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
252 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
253 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
254 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
255 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
256 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
257 Gadgil.
258
259 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
260 the above.
261
262 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
263 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
52d4abf2
SK
264 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
265 Forkel.
266
267 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
268 work even if there is no interface carrying the
269 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
270 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
271 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
272 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
273 the idea and initial patch.

276 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
277 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
278
c8257540
SK
279 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
280 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
281 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
282 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
283 for existing connections, but new connections will use
284 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
285 renumbering at least possible.
286
287 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
8358e0f4 288 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

330 which is not the primary address of an interface.
331
332 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
333
334 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
335 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
336 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
337 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
338 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
339 implementation.
340
341 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
342 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
343 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
344 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
345 set them from the make command line.
346
347 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
348 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

SK
367 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
368 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
369 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
370 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
371
fdacfb01
SK
372 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
373 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
374 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
375 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
e5ffdb9c 376 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
b36ae194
SK
377 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
378
fdacfb01
SK
379 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
380 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
381 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
382 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
383 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
384 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
385 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
386 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
387 These will be added as the standards mature.
388 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
389 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
390 testers who have got it this far.

ac8540c3
SK
392 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
393 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
394 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
395 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
396 enabling with --enable-ra.

SK
398 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that

c72daea8
SK
409 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
410 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
411 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
412 report.
413
414 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
415 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
416 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
417 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
418 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
419 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
420 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
421 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
422 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

SK
425version 2.58
426 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
427 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
428
429 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
430 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
431 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
432
433 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
434 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
435 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
436 server-deployment applications need this.
437
438 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
439 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
440 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
441 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
442 in chasing this one down.
443
444 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
445 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
446 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
447 the problem.
448
449 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
450 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
451 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
452 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
453 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
454 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
455
456 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
457 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
458 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
459 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
460 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
461 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
462 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
463 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
464
465 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
466 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
467
468 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
469 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
470 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
471 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
472
473 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
474 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
475
476 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
477 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
478 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
479 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
480 Agrawal for the patch.
481
482 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
483 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
484 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
485 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
486 per-network values. So
487 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
488 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
489 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
490 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
491 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
492 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
493
494 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
495 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
496 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
497 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
498 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
499 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
500 a comprehensive test-case.

520 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
521 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
522 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
523 effectively empty on Android.

548 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
549 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.

555 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
556 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
557 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
558
559 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
560 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
561 syslogd.

563 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
564 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
565 Petrin for the orignal patch.

568 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
569 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.

571 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
572 option, on the command line.

574 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
575 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
576
577 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
578 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
579 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
580 to John Hallam for the patch.
581
582 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
583 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
584 character chunks instead.
585
586 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
587 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
588 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
589 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
590
591 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
592 transfer has completed succesfully.
593
594 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
595 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
596 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
597 which automatically creates
598 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
599 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
600
601 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
602 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
603
604 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
605 thanks for that.
606
607 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
608 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
609 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
610 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
611 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
612 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
613 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
614 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
615 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
616
617 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
618 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
619 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
620 set.
621
622 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
623 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
624
625 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
626 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
627 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
628
629 Edit
630 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
631 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
632 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
633
634 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
635 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
636 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
637 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
638 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
639 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
640 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
641 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
642 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
643 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
644 So:
645 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
646 --server=/google.com/#
647 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
648 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
649 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
650 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
651 William for pointing out the need for this.
652
653 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
654 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
655 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
656
657 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
658 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
659 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
660 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

693 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
694 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
695 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
696
697 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
698 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
699 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
700 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
701 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
702 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
703 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
704 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
705 the documentation and new-style config files should be
706 much less confusing.
707
708 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
709 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
710 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
711
712 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.

719
720 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
721 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
722 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
723 from the client.
724
725 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
726 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
727 finding this.
728
729 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
730 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
731 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
732 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
733 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
734 server-override option.
735
736 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
737 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
738 allows a single line of the form
739 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
740 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
741 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
742 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
743 irrespective of the existance or lack of
744 interface=<interface>
745 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
746 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
747 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
748 configuration.
749
750 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
751
752 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
753 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
754
755 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
756 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
757 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
758 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
759
760 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
761 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
762 file, not the process/descriptor.

767 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
768 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
769 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
770 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
771 this and testing the fix.
772
773 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
774 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
775 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
776
777 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
778 upstream servers: this allows something like
779 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
780 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
781 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
782 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
783
784 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
785 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
786 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
787 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
788 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
789 work on this.
790
791 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
792 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
793 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
794 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
795 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
796 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
797 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.

817 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.

843version 2.52
844 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
845 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
846 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
847 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
848 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
849 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
850 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
851 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
852
853 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
854 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
855 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
856 necessary for some *WRT distros.
857
858 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
859 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
860 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
861 when dnsmasq is first started.
862
863 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
864 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
865 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
866 with certain clients.
867
868 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
869 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
870 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
871
872 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
873 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
874 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
875 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
876 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
877 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
878 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
879 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
880 numbers delimited by dots.
881
882 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks

889 contrib/Solaris10.
890
891 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
892 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
893 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
894 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
895 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
896 addresses available in such an installation removes a
897 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
898
899 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
900 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
901 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
902 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.

904 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
905 the lease-change script in the environment variable
906 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.

908 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
909 Options". The syntax looks like this:
910 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........

954 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
955 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
956 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
957 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation

959 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
960 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
961 suggestion.
962
963 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
964 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
965 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
966 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
967 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
968 a DHCP relay, if used.
969 Suggestions from Michael Rack.

972 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
973
974 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
975 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
976 dhcp-option-force.
977
978 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
979 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
980 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
981
982 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
983 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
984 the patch.

988 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
989 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.

991 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
992 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
993 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
994 suggestion.
995
996 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
997 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
998 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
999 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1000 dhcp-optsfile.
1001
1002 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1003 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1004 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1005 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1006 suggestion.
1007
1008 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1009 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1010 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1011 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just

1090 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1091 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1092 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1093 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the

1121 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1122 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1123 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1124 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1125 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1126 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1127 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1128 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1129 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1130 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1131 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1132 Krafft for the bug report.

1141 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for

1180 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break

1183 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1184 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1185 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1186 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.

1190 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1191 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1192 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1193 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1194 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1195 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1196 dnsmasq.

1204 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1205 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1206 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,

5aabfc78 1213
7622fc06
SK
1214 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1215 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1216 a domain associated with each client, and only
1217 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1218 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1219 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1220 long as they are in different domains.

1248 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1249 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1250 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1251 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1252 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1253 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1254 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1255 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1256 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1257 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1258 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.

7622fc06
SK
1260 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1261 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now

1264 improvement.

1341 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1342 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1343
1344 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1345 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1346 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1347 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1348 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1349 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1350 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1351 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1352 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1353 suggestions.
1354
1355 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1356 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1357 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1358
1359 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1360 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1361 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1362 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1363 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1364 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1365 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1366 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1367 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1368 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1369
1370 Replace the random number generator, for better
1371 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1372 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1373 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1374 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1375 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1376 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1377
1378 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1379 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1380 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1381 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1382 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
