17 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
18 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
19 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the

25 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
26 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
27 non-existent DS records.
28
29 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
30 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
31 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
32 report.

54 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
55 valuable research on how to implement this.

61 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
62 for spotting the problem.
63
c3a04081
SK
64 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
65 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
66 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
67 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
68 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.

70 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
71 compiled with this enabled, with
72
73 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
74
75 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
76 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
77 statically with
78
79 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
80

SK
81 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
82 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
83
613d6c52
SK
84 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
85 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
86 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
87 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
88 distribution. You should of course check that these are
89 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
90
91 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
92 dnssec
1ee9be4c 93
613d6c52
SK
94 to your config is all thats needed to get things
95 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
96 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
97 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
98 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
99 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
100 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
101 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
102 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
103 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
104 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
105 records, which significantly improve the performance of
106 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
107 DNSSEC in action.
108
198d940a
SK
109 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
110 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
111 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
112 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
113 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
114 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
115 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
116 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
117 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
118 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
119 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
120 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
121 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
122 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
123 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
124 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
125
126 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
127 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
128 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
129 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
130 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
131 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
132 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
133 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
134 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
135 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
136 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
137 henceforward will be complete.
138
613d6c52
SK
139 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
140 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
141 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
142 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
143 a workable state.
144
de73a497 145 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.

147 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
148 full access to configuration.
de73a497 149
c8a80487
SK
150 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
151 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
152 an interface exists on the server. This option
f00690f9 153 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
c8a80487
SK
154 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
155 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
156 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
157 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
158
604f7598
SK
159 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
160 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
161 find this and helping to chase it down.

171version 2.68
172 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
173 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
174 addresses.
175
176 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
177 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
178 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
179 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
180 restarted, this bug disappeared.
181
182 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
183 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
184
185 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
186
187 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
188 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
189 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
190 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
191 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
192 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
193 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
194 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
195 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
196 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
197 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
198 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
199 IPv6 addresses of eth0.

201 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
202 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
203 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
204 for the bug report.

210 introduced in 2.67.
2329bef5
SK
211
212 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
213 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
214 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
215 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
216 exists) then we should do it always.
4c82efc5
VG
217
218 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
219 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
220 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
221 corresponding address on the local interface.

226 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
227 this and supplying the patch.
aa63a21c
SK
228
229 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
230 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
231 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
232 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
233 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
234 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
235 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
236 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
86e92f99

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

246 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.

SK
247
248 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
249 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
250 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
251 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
252 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
253 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
254 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
255 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

276 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
277 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
278 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
279 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
280 report.

SK
300 When the address which triggered the construction of an
301 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
302 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
303 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
304 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
305 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
306 arguing for this.

SK
319 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
320 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
321 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
322 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
323 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.

89500e31
SK
338 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
339 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC

861c8914
SK
343
344 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
345 address must be either the first or last address in the

379version 2.66
380 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
381 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
382 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
383 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
384 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
385 servers to be configured.
386
387 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
388 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
389 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
390 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
391 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
392 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
393 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
394 this idea.

400 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
401 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
402 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
403 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)

463 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
464 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
465 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
466 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
467 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in

765 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
766 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
767 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
768 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
769 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
770 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
771 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
772 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
773 These will be added as the standards mature.

797 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
798 report.
799
800 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
801 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
802 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
803 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
804 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
805 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
806 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
807 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
808 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

819 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
820 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
821 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
822 server-deployment applications need this.
823
824 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
825 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
826 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
827 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
828 in chasing this one down.
829
830 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
831 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
832 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
833 the problem.
834
835 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
836 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
837 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
838 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
839 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
840 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
841
842 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
843 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
844 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
845 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
846 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
847 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
848 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
849 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
850
851 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
852 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
853
854 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
855 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
856 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
857 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
858
859 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
860 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
861
862 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
863 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
864 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
865 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
866 Agrawal for the patch.
867
868 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
869 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
870 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
871 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
872 per-network values. So
873 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
874 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
875 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
876 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
877 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
878 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
879
880 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
881 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
882 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
883 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
884 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
885 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
886 a comprehensive test-case.

963 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
964 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
965 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
966 to John Hallam for the patch.
967
968 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
969 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
970 character chunks instead.
971
972 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
973 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
974 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
975 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
976
977 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
978 transfer has completed succesfully.
979
980 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
981 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
982 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
983 which automatically creates
984 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
985 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
986
987 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
988 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
989
990 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
991 thanks for that.
992
993 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
994 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
995 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
996 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
997 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
998 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
999 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1000 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1001 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1002
1003 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1004 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1005 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1006 set.
1007
1008 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1009 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1010
1011 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1012 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1013 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1014
1015 Edit
1016 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1017 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1018 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1019
1020 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1021 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1022 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1023 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1024 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1025 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1026 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1027 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1028 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1029 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1030 So:
1031 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1032 --server=/google.com/#
1033 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1034 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1035 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1036 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1037 William for pointing out the need for this.
1038
1039 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1040 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1041 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1042
1043 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1044 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1045 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1046 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

1078
1079 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1080 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1081 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1082
1083 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1084 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1085 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1086 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1087 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1088 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1089 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1090 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1091 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1092 much less confusing.
1093
1094 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1095 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1096 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1097
1098 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1099
1100 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1101
1102 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1103 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance

1105
1106 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1107 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1108 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1109 from the client.
1110
1111 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1112 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1113 finding this.
1114
1115 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1116 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1117 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1118 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1119 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1120 server-override option.
1121
1122 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1123 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1124 allows a single line of the form
1125 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1126 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1127 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1128 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1129 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1130 interface=<interface>
1131 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1132 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1133 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1134 configuration.
1135
1136 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1137
1138 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1139 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1140
1141 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1142 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1143 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1144 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1145
1146 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1147 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1148 file, not the process/descriptor.
1149
1150 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1151 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1152
1153 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1154 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1155 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1156 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1157 this and testing the fix.
1158
1159 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1160 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1161 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1162
1163 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1164 upstream servers: this allows something like
1165 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1166 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1167 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1168 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1169
1170 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1171 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1172 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1173 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1174 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1175 work on this.
1176
1177 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1178 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1179 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1180 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1181 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1182 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1183 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1184
1185 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1186
1187 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1188 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1189 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1190 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1191 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1192 here.
1193
1194 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1195
1196 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1197 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1198
1199 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1200 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1201 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1202 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1203 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1204
1205 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1206 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.

SK
1229version 2.52
1230 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1231 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1232 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1233 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1234 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1235 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1236 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1237 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1238
1239 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1240 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1241 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1242 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1243
1244 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1245 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1246 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1247 when dnsmasq is first started.
1248
1249 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1250 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1251 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1252 with certain clients.
1253
1254 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1255 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1256 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1257
1258 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1259 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1260 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1261 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1262 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1263 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1264 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1265 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1266 numbers delimited by dots.
1267
1268 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1269 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1270
1271 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1272 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1273
1274 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1275 contrib/Solaris10.
1276
1277 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1278 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1279 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1280 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1281 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1282 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1283 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1284
1285 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1286 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1287 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1288 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1289
1290 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1291 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1292 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1293
1294 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1295 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1296 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1297
1298 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1299 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1300 looks like this:
1301 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>

1339 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1340 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1341 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1342 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1343 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1344 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1345 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1346 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1347 suggestion.
1348
1349 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1350 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1351 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1352 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1353 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1354 a DHCP relay, if used.
1355 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1356

1358 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1359
1360 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1361 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1362 dhcp-option-force.
1363
1364 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1365 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1366 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1367
1368 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1369 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1370 the patch.
1371
1372 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

1374 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1375 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1376
1377 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1378 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1379 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1380 suggestion.
1381
1382 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1383 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1384 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1385 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1386 dhcp-optsfile.
1387
1388 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1389 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1390 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1391 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1392 suggestion.
1393
1394 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1395 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1396 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1397 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1398 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1399
1400 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1401 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1402 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1403 fragmented packets.

1507 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1508 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1509 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1510 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1511 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1512 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1513 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1514 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1515 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1516 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1517 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1518 Krafft for the bug report.

1578 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1579 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take

1604 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,

1634 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1635 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1636 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1637 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1638 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1639 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1640 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1641 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1642 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1643 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1644 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.

1730 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1731 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1732 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1733 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1734 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1735 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1736 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1737 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1738 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1739 suggestions.

1744
1745 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1746 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1747 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1748 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1749 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1750 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1751 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1752 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1753 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1754 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1755
1756 Replace the random number generator, for better
1757 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1758 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1759 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1760 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1761 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1762 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1763
1764 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1765 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1766 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1767 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1768 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
