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.

45 spotting the problem.

SK
47 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
48 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
49 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
50 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
51 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
52 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.

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

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

SK
102
103 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
104 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
105 without setting source address and interface, since this
106 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
107 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

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134 superceded by other mechanisms.

144 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
145 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
146 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
147 the suggestion.

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

eabc6dd7
SK
188version 2.61
189 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
190 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
191 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
192 addresses.
193
01d1b8dd
SK
194 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
195 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
196 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
197 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
198 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
199 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

201 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
202
8643ec7f
SK
203 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
204 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
205 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
8358e0f4 206 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
8643ec7f 207 this down.
eabc6dd7 208
8643ec7f
SK
209 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
210 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
211 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
212
213 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
214

SK
218 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
219 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
220 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
221 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
222 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
223 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
224 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
225 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
226 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
227 Gadgil.
228
229 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
230 the above.
231
232 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
233 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
52d4abf2
SK
234 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
235 Forkel.
236
237 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
238 work even if there is no interface carrying the
239 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
240 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
241 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
242 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
243 the idea and initial patch.

246 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
247 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
248
c8257540
SK
249 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
250 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
251 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
252 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
253 for existing connections, but new connections will use
254 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
255 renumbering at least possible.
256
257 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
8358e0f4 258 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

299 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
300 which is not the primary address of an interface.
301
302 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
303
304 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
305 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
306 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
307 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
308 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
309 implementation.
310
311 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
312 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
313 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
314 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
315 set them from the make command line.
316
317 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
318 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

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

SK
337 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
338 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
339 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
340 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
341
fdacfb01
SK
342 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
343 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
344 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
345 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
e5ffdb9c 346 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
b36ae194
SK
347 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
348
fdacfb01
SK
349 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
350 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
351 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
352 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
353 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
354 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
355 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
356 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
357 These will be added as the standards mature.
358 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
359 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
360 testers who have got it this far.

SK
362 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
363 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
364 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
365 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
366 enabling with --enable-ra.

c72daea8
SK
379 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
380 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
381 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
382 report.
383
384 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
385 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
386 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
387 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
388 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
389 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
390 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
391 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
392 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

SK
395version 2.58
396 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
397 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
398
399 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
400 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
401 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
402
403 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
404 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
405 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
406 server-deployment applications need this.
407
408 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
409 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
410 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
411 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
412 in chasing this one down.
413
414 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
415 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
416 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
417 the problem.
418
419 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
420 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
421 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
422 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
423 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
424 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
425
426 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
427 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
428 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
429 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
430 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
431 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
432 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
433 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
434
435 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
436 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
437
438 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
439 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
440 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
441 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
442
443 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
444 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
445
446 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
447 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
448 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
449 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
450 Agrawal for the patch.
451
452 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
453 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
454 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
455 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
456 per-network values. So
457 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
458 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
459 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
460 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
461 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
462 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
463
464 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
465 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
466 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
467 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
468 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
469 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
470 a comprehensive test-case.
471
472 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
473 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
de604c18 474 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
7de060b0
SK
475
476 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from

487version 2.57
488 Add patches to allow build under Android.
489
490 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
491 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
492 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
493 effectively empty on Android.
494
495 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
496 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
497 wildcard.
498
499 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
500 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
501 spotting this.
502
503 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
504 IDN support continues to be included automatically
505 when i18n is included.
506 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
507
508 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
509 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
510 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.

514 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
515 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
516
517 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
518 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
519 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
520 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
521
522 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
523 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
524
525 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
526 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
527 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
528
529 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
530 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
531 syslogd.
532
533 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
534 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
535 Petrin for the orignal patch.
536
537 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
538 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
539 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
540
541 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
542 option, on the command line.
543
544 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
545 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
546
547 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
548 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
549 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
550 to John Hallam for the patch.
551
552 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
553 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
554 character chunks instead.
555
556 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
557 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
558 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
559 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
560
561 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
562 transfer has completed succesfully.
563
564 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
565 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
566 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
567 which automatically creates
568 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
569 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
570
571 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
572 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
573
574 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
575 thanks for that.
576
577 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
578 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
579 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
580 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
581 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
582 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
583 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
584 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
585 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
586
587 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
588 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
589 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
590 set.
591
592 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
593 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
594
595 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
596 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
597 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
598
599 Edit
600 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
601 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
602 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
603
604 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
605 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
606 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
607 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
608 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
609 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
610 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
611 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
612 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
613 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
614 So:
615 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
616 --server=/google.com/#
617 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
618 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
619 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
620 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
621 William for pointing out the need for this.
622
623 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
624 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
625 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
626
627 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
628 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
629 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
630 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

662
663 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
664 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
665 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
666
667 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
668 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
669 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
670 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
671 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
672 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
673 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
674 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
675 the documentation and new-style config files should be
676 much less confusing.
677
678 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
679 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
680 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
681
682 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
683
684 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
685
686 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
687 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
688 finding this.
689
690 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
691 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
692 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
693 from the client.
694
695 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
696 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
697 finding this.
698
699 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
700 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
701 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
702 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
703 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
704 server-override option.
705
706 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
707 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
708 allows a single line of the form
709 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
710 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
711 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
712 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
713 irrespective of the existance or lack of
714 interface=<interface>
715 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
716 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
717 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
718 configuration.
719
720 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
721
722 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
723 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
724
725 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
726 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
727 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
728 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
729
730 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
731 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
732 file, not the process/descriptor.
733
734 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
735 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
736
737 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
738 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
739 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
740 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
741 this and testing the fix.
742
743 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
744 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
745 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
746
747 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
748 upstream servers: this allows something like
749 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
750 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
751 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
752 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
753
754 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
755 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
756 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
757 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
758 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
759 work on this.
760
761 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
762 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
763 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
764 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
765 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
766 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
767 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
768
769 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
770
771 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
772 than one server available for a domain, eg.
773 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
774 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
775 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
776 here.

783 Fix regression which caused configuration like
784 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
785 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
786 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
787 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
788
789 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.

SK
813version 2.52
814 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
815 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
816 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
817 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
818 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
819 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
820 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
821 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
822
823 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
824 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
825 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
826 necessary for some *WRT distros.
827
828 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
829 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
830 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
831 when dnsmasq is first started.
832
833 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
834 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
835 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
836 with certain clients.
837
838 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
839 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
840 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
841
842 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
843 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
844 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
845 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
846 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
847 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
848 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
849 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
850 numbers delimited by dots.
851
852 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
853 to Joel Macklow for help with this.

855 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
856 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.

858 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
859 contrib/Solaris10.
860
861 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
862 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
863 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
864 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
865 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
866 addresses available in such an installation removes a
867 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
868
869 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
870 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
871 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
872 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
873
874 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
875 the lease-change script in the environment variable
876 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
877
878 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
879 Options". The syntax looks like this:
880 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
881
882 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
883 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
884 looks like this:

924 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
925 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
926 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
927 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
928 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
929 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
930 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
931 suggestion.
932
933 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
934 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
935 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
936 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
937 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
938 a DHCP relay, if used.
939 Suggestions from Michael Rack.

942 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
943
944 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
945 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
946 dhcp-option-force.
947
948 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
949 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
950 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
951
952 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
953 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
954 the patch.

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

961 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
962 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
963 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
964 suggestion.
965
966 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
967 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
968 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
969 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
970 dhcp-optsfile.
971
972 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
973 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
974 is retried. This should improve performance when there
975 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
976 suggestion.
977
978 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
979 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
980 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
981 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
982 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
983
984 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
985 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
986 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
987 fragmented packets.

1016 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1017 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.

1027 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1028 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1029 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.

1035 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1036 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1037 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1038 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.

1043 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1044 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1045 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1046 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.

1048 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1049 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1050 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.

SK
1058 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1059 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1060 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1061 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1062 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1063 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1064 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1065 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1066 and Michael Brown for assistance.

1068 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1069 useful suggestions.

SK
1091 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1092 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1093 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1094 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1095 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1096 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1097 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1098 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1099 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1100 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1101 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1102 Krafft for the bug report.

1110 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1111 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1112 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1113 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
b8187c80 1114
7622fc06
SK
1115 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1116 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
b8187c80 1117
7622fc06 1118 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
b8187c80 1119
7622fc06
SK
1120 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1121 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1122 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1123 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1124 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.

1142 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1143 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1144 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1145 as before.
1146 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1147 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1148 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.

1150 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1151 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1152 Windows even when using supernetting.
1153 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1154 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1155 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1156 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.

1160 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1161 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1162 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1163 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1164 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1165 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1166 dnsmasq.

1174 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1175 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1176 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1177 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1178 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
5aabfc78 1179
7622fc06
SK
1180 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1181 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1182 based in their IP address.
5aabfc78 1183
7622fc06
SK
1184 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1185 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1186 a domain associated with each client, and only
1187 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1188 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1189 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1190 long as they are in different domains.
5aabfc78 1191

1192 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking

1196 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1197 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1198 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1199 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1200 potential.

1202 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous

SK
1218 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1219 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1220 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1221 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1222 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1223 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1224 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1225 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1226 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1227 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1228 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
824af85b 1229
7622fc06
SK
1230 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1231 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1232 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1233 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1234 improvement.

1288 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1289
1290 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1291 format.
1292
1293 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1294 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1295 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1296 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1297 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1298
1299 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1300 Rack for the bug report.
1301
1302 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1303 Bergquist.

1305 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1306 option.
1307
1308 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1309 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1310
1311 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1312 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1313
1314 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1315 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1316 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1317 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1318 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1319 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1320 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1321 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1322 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1323 suggestions.
1324
1325 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1326 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1327 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1328
1329 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1330 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1331 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1332 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1333 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1334 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1335 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1336 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1337 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1338 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1339
1340 Replace the random number generator, for better
1341 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1342 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1343 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1344 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1345 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1346 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1347
1348 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1349 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1350 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1351 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1352 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
