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).

16 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter

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

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.

66 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
67 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank

72version 2.66
73 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
74 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
75 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
76 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
77 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
78 servers to be configured.
79
80 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
81 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
82 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
83 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
84 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
85 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
86 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
87 this idea.

90 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
91 patch.
92
93 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
94 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
95 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
96 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
97 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
98 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
99 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.

156 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
157 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
158 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
159 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
160 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
161 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.

188 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
189 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a

238 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
239 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
240 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
241 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
242 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
243 superceded by other mechanisms.

297version 2.61
298 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
299 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
300 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
301 addresses.

SK
303 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
304 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
305 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
306 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
307 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.

312 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
313 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct

327 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
328 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
329 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
330 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
331 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
332 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
333 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
334 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
335 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
336 Gadgil.
337
338 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
339 the above.

344 Forkel.
345
346 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
347 work even if there is no interface carrying the
348 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
349 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
350 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
351 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for

357
c8257540
SK
358 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
359 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
360 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
361 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
362 for existing connections, but new connections will use
363 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
364 renumbering at least possible.
365

409 which is not the primary address of an interface.
410
411 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
412
413 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
414 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
415 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
416 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
417 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
418 implementation.
419
420 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
421 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
422 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
423 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
424 set them from the make command line.
425
426 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
427 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

446 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
447 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
448 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
449 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.

SK
451 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
452 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
453 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
454 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
e5ffdb9c 455 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
b36ae194
SK
456 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
457
fdacfb01
SK
458 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
459 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
460 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
461 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
462 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
463 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
464 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
465 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
466 These will be added as the standards mature.
467 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
468 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
469 testers who have got it this far.

471 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
472 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
473 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
474 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
475 enabling with --enable-ra.

488 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
489 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
490 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
491 report.
492
493 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
494 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
495 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
496 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
497 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
498 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
499 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
500 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
501 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

505 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
506 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
507
508 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
509 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
510 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
511
512 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
513 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
514 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
515 server-deployment applications need this.
516
517 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
518 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
519 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
520 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
521 in chasing this one down.
522
523 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
524 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
525 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
526 the problem.
527
528 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
529 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
530 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
531 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
532 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
533 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
534
535 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
536 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
537 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
538 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
539 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
540 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
541 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
542 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
543
544 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
545 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
546
547 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
548 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
549 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
550 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
551
552 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
553 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
554
555 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
556 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
557 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
558 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
559 Agrawal for the patch.
560
561 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
562 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
563 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
564 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
565 per-network values. So
566 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
567 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
568 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
569 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
570 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
571 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
572
573 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
574 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
575 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
576 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
577 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
578 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
579 a comprehensive test-case.
580
581 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
582 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
de604c18 583 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.

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

605 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
606 wildcard.

627 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
628 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
629 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.

631 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
632 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
633
634 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
635 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
636 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
637
638 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
639 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
640 syslogd.

642 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
643 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
644 Petrin for the orignal patch.

647 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to

650 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an

653 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
654 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
655
656 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
657 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
658 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
659 to John Hallam for the patch.
660
661 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
662 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
663 character chunks instead.
664
665 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
666 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
667 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
668 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
669
670 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
671 transfer has completed succesfully.
672
673 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
674 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
675 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
676 which automatically creates
677 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
678 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
679
680 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
681 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
682
683 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
684 thanks for that.
685
686 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
687 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
688 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
689 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
690 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
691 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
692 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
693 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
694 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
695
696 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
697 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
698 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
699 set.
700
701 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
702 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
703
704 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
705 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
706 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
707
708 Edit
709 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
710 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
711 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
712
713 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
714 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
715 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
716 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
717 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
718 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
719 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
720 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
721 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
722 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
723 So:
724 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
725 --server=/google.com/#
726 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
727 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
728 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
729 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
730 William for pointing out the need for this.
731
732 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
733 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
734 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
735
736 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
737 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
738 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
739 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

772 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
773 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
774 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
775
776 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
777 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
778 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
779 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
780 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
781 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
782 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
783 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
784 the documentation and new-style config files should be
785 much less confusing.
786
787 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
788 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
789 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
790
791 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
792
793 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
794
795 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
796 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
797 finding this.
798
799 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
800 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
801 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
802 from the client.
803
804 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
805 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
806 finding this.
807
808 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
809 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
810 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
811 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
812 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
813 server-override option.
814
815 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
816 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
817 allows a single line of the form
818 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
819 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
820 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
821 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
822 irrespective of the existance or lack of
823 interface=<interface>
824 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
825 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
826 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
827 configuration.
828
829 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
830
831 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
832 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
833
834 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
835 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
836 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
837 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
838
839 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
840 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
841 file, not the process/descriptor.

846 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
847 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
848 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
849 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
850 this and testing the fix.
851
852 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
853 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
854 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
855
856 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
857 upstream servers: this allows something like
858 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
859 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
860 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
861 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
862
863 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
864 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
865 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
866 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
867 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
868 work on this.
869
870 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
871 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
872 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
873 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
874 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
875 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
876 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
877
878 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
879
880 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
881 than one server available for a domain, eg.
882 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
883 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
884 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
885 here.

893 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
894 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
895 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
896 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
897
898 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.

922version 2.52
923 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
924 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
925 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
926 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
927 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
928 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
929 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
930 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
931
932 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
933 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
934 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
935 necessary for some *WRT distros.
936
937 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
938 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
939 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
940 when dnsmasq is first started.
941
942 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
943 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
944 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
945 with certain clients.
946
947 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
948 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
949 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
950
951 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
952 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
953 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
954 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
955 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
956 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
957 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
958 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
959 numbers delimited by dots.
960
961 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
962 to Joel Macklow for help with this.

964 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
965 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
966
967 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
968 contrib/Solaris10.
969
970 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
971 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
972 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
973 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
974 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
975 addresses available in such an installation removes a
976 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
977
978 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
979 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
980 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
981 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
982
983 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
984 the lease-change script in the environment variable
985 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
986
987 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
988 Options". The syntax looks like this:
989 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
990
991 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
992 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
993 looks like this:
994 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>

1032 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1033 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1034 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1035 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1036 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1037 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1038 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1039 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1040 suggestion.
1041
1042 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1043 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1044 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1045 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1046 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1047 a DHCP relay, if used.
1048 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1049
1050 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1051 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1052
1053 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1054 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1055 dhcp-option-force.
1056
1057 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1058 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1059 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1060

1062 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1063 the patch.

1067 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1068 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1069
1070 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1071 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1072 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1073 suggestion.
1074
1075 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1076 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1077 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1078 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1079 dhcp-optsfile.
1080
1081 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1082 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1083 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1084 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1085 suggestion.
1086
1087 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1088 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1089 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1090 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1091 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1092
1093 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1094 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1095 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1096 fragmented packets.
1097
1098 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1099 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.

1169 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1170 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where

1172 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the

1200 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1201 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1202 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1203 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1204 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1205 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1206 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1207 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1208 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1209 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1210 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1211 Krafft for the bug report.

1259 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break

1262 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1263 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1264 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1265 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.

1269 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1270 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1271 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1272 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take

1293 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1294 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1295 a domain associated with each client, and only
1296 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1297 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,

1299 long as they are in different domains.

1327 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1328 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1329 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1330 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1331 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1332 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1333 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1334 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1335 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1336 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1337 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.

1339 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong

1438 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1439 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1440 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1441 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1442 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1443 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1444 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1445 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1446 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1447 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1448
1449 Replace the random number generator, for better
1450 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1451 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1452 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1453 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1454 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1455 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1456
1457 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1458 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1459 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1460 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1461 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
