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.

SK
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.

SK
33
34 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
35 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
3d77c046 36 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold

37 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
38 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
39 bounty for this addition.

SK
55 Handle the situation where libc headers define
56 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
57 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
58 Felker for the bug report.

81 spotting the problem.
82
12d71ed2
SK
83 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
84 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
85 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
86 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
87 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
88 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.

2022310f
SK
115 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
116 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
117 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
118 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
119

SK
124 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
125 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless

136 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
137 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.

SK
138
139 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
140 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
141 without setting source address and interface, since this
142 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
143 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

146 dhcp-range on a subnet.

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

155 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
156 stuff is pointless without that.

158 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
159 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
160 interfaces.

8bc4cece
SK
165 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
166 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
167 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
168 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
169 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
170 superceded by other mechanisms.

180 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
181 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
182 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
183 the suggestion.

214 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
215 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
216 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.

221 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
222 his help nailing this.
223
eabc6dd7
SK
224version 2.61
225 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
226 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
227 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
228 addresses.
229
01d1b8dd
SK
230 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
231 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
232 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
233 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
234 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
235 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
7023e382 236

SK
237 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
238
8643ec7f
SK
239 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
240 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
241 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
8358e0f4 242 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
8643ec7f 243 this down.
eabc6dd7 244
8643ec7f
SK
245 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
246 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
247 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
248
249 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
250

SK
251 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
252 suggestion.

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

SK
281 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
282 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
283 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
284
c8257540
SK
285 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
286 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
287 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
288 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
289 for existing connections, but new connections will use
290 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
291 renumbering at least possible.
292
293 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
8358e0f4 294 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

331version 2.60
332 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
333 Flebbe for the patch.
334
335 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
336 which is not the primary address of an interface.
337
338 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
339
340 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
341 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
342 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
343 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
344 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
345 implementation.
346
347 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
348 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
349 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
350 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
351 set them from the make command line.
352
353 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
354 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

365 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
366 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
367 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
368 this.

SK
373 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
374 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
375 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
376 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
377
fdacfb01
SK
378 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
379 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
380 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
381 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
e5ffdb9c 382 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
b36ae194
SK
383 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
384
fdacfb01
SK
385 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
386 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
387 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
388 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
389 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
390 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
391 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
392 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
393 These will be added as the standards mature.
394 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
395 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
396 testers who have got it this far.
1adadf58 397
ac8540c3
SK
398 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
399 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
400 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
401 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
402 enabling with --enable-ra.
403
552af8b9
SK
404 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
405 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive

c72daea8
SK
415 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
416 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
417 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
418 report.
419
420 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
421 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
422 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
423 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
424 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
425 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
426 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
427 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
428 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
74c95c25

430
7de060b0
SK
431version 2.58
432 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
433 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
434
435 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
436 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
437 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
438
439 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
440 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
441 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
442 server-deployment applications need this.
443
444 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
445 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
446 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
447 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
448 in chasing this one down.
449
450 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
451 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
452 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
453 the problem.
454
455 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
456 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
457 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
458 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
459 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
460 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
461
462 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
463 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
464 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
465 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
466 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
467 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
468 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
469 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
470
471 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
472 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
473
474 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
475 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
476 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
477 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
478
479 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
480 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
481
482 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
483 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
484 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
485 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
486 Agrawal for the patch.
487
488 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
489 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
490 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
491 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
492 per-network values. So
493 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
494 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
495 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
496 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
497 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
498 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
499
500 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
501 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
502 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
503 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
504 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
505 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
506 a comprehensive test-case.

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

561 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
562 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
563 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.

565 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
566 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the

569 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
570 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
571 Petrin for the orignal patch.

574 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to

580 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
581 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
582
583 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
584 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
585 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
586 to John Hallam for the patch.
587
588 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
589 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
590 character chunks instead.
591
592 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
593 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
594 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
595 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
596
597 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
598 transfer has completed succesfully.
599
600 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
601 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
602 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
603 which automatically creates
604 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
605 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
606
607 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
608 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
609
610 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
611 thanks for that.
612
613 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
614 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
615 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
616 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
617 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
618 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
619 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
620 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
621 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
622
623 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
624 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
625 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
626 set.
627
628 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
629 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
630
631 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
632 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
633 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
634
635 Edit
636 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
637 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
638 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
639
640 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
641 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
642 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
643 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
644 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
645 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
646 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
647 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
648 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
649 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
650 So:
651 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
652 --server=/google.com/#
653 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
654 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
655 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
656 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
657 William for pointing out the need for this.
658
659 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
660 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
661 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
662
663 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
664 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
665 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
666 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

699 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
700 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
701 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
702
703 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
704 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
705 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
706 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
707 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
708 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
709 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
710 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
711 the documentation and new-style config files should be
712 much less confusing.
713
714 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
715 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
716 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
717
718 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.

725
726 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
727 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
728 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
729 from the client.
730
731 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
732 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
733 finding this.
734
735 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
736 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
737 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
738 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
739 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
740 server-override option.
741
742 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
743 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
744 allows a single line of the form
745 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
746 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
747 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
748 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
749 irrespective of the existance or lack of
750 interface=<interface>
751 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
752 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
753 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
754 configuration.
755
756 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
757
758 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
759 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
760
761 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
762 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
763 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
764 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
765
766 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
767 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
768 file, not the process/descriptor.

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

820 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
821 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a

823 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.

849version 2.52
850 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
851 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
852 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
853 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
854 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
855 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
856 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
857 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
858
859 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
860 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
861 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
862 necessary for some *WRT distros.
863
864 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
865 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
866 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
867 when dnsmasq is first started.
868
869 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
870 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
871 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
872 with certain clients.
873
874 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
875 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
876 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
877
878 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
879 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
880 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
881 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
882 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
883 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
884 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
885 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
886 numbers delimited by dots.
887
888 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks

895 contrib/Solaris10.
896
897 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
898 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
899 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
900 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
901 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
902 addresses available in such an installation removes a
903 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
904
905 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
906 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
907 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
908 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
909
910 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
911 the lease-change script in the environment variable
912 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.

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

918 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
919 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax

960 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
961 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
962 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
963 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
964 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
965 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
966 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
967 suggestion.
968
969 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
970 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
971 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
972 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
973 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
974 a DHCP relay, if used.
975 Suggestions from Michael Rack.

980 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
981 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
982 dhcp-option-force.
983
984 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
985 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
986 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".

988 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
989 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
990 the patch.

997 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
998 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
999 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1000 suggestion.
1001
1002 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1003 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1004 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1005 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1006 dhcp-optsfile.
1007
1008 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1009 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1010 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1011 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1012 suggestion.

1014 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1015 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1016 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1017 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1018 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1019
1020 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1021 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1022 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1023 fragmented packets.

1025 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1026 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.

1050 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1051 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1052 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than

1094 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1095 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1096 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1097 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1098 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1099 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1100 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1101 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1102 and Michael Brown for assistance.

1127 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1128 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1129 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1130 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1131 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1132 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1133 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1134 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1135 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1136 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1137 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1138 Krafft for the bug report.

1146 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1147 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1148 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1149 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
b8187c80 1150

SK
1151 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"

1186 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1187 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in

1189 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1190 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1191 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1192 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.

1196 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1197 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1198 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1199 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1200 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1201 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1202 dnsmasq.

1210 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1211 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1212 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1213 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1214 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).

1216 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1217 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1218 based in their IP address.
5aabfc78 1219
7622fc06
SK
1220 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1221 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1222 a domain associated with each client, and only
1223 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1224 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1225 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1226 long as they are in different domains.

1254 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1255 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1256 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1257 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1258 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1259 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1260 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1261 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1262 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1263 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1264 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
824af85b 1265
7622fc06
SK
1266 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1267 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now

1270 improvement.

1349
1350 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1351 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1352 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1353 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1354 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1355 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1356 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1357 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1358 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1359 suggestions.
1360
1361 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1362 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1363 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1364
1365 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1366 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1367 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1368 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1369 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1370 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1371 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1372 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1373 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1374 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1375
1376 Replace the random number generator, for better
1377 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1378 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1379 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1380 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1381 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1382 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1383
1384 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1385 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1386 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1387 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1388 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
