6 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
7 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
8 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
9 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
10 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
11 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
12 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
13 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

25 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
26 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
27 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
28 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
29 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
30 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
31 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
32 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

51version 2.66
52 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
53 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
54 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
55 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
56 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
57 servers to be configured.
58
59 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
60 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
61 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
62 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
63 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
64 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
65 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
66 this idea.

72 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
73 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
74 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
75 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
76 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
77 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
78 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.

135 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
136 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
137 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
138 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
139 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
140 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.

217 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
218 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
219 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated

282 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
283 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack

285 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to

306 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
307 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
308 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
309 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
310 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
311 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
312 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
313 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
314 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
315 Gadgil.

325 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
326 work even if there is no interface carrying the
327 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
328 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
329 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
330 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for

c8257540
SK
337 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
338 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
339 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
340 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
341 for existing connections, but new connections will use
342 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
343 renumbering at least possible.

fdacfb01
SK
437 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
438 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
439 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
440 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
441 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
442 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
443 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
444 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
445 These will be added as the standards mature.
446 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
447 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
448 testers who have got it this far.

469 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
470 report.
471
472 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
473 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
474 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
475 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
476 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
477 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
478 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
479 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
480 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

484 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
485 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
486
487 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
488 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
489 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
490
491 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
492 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
493 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
494 server-deployment applications need this.
495
496 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
497 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
498 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
499 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
500 in chasing this one down.
501
502 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
503 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
504 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
505 the problem.
506
507 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
508 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
509 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
510 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
511 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
512 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
513
514 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
515 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
516 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
517 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
518 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
519 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
520 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
521 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
522
523 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
524 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
525
526 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
527 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
528 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
529 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
530
531 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
532 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
533
534 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
535 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
536 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
537 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
538 Agrawal for the patch.
539
540 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
541 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
542 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
543 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
544 per-network values. So
545 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
546 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
547 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
548 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
549 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
550 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
551
552 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
553 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
554 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
555 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
556 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
557 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
558 a comprehensive test-case.

638 to John Hallam for the patch.

644 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
645 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
646 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow

648
649 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
650 transfer has completed succesfully.
651
652 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
653 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
654 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
655 which automatically creates
656 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
657 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
658
659 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
660 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
661
662 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
663 thanks for that.
664
665 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
666 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
667 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
668 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
669 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
670 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
671 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
672 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
673 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
674
675 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
676 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
677 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
678 set.
679
680 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
681 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
682
683 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
684 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
685 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
686
687 Edit
688 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
689 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
690 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
691
692 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
693 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
694 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
695 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
696 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
697 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
698 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
699 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
700 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
701 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
702 So:
703 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
704 --server=/google.com/#
705 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
706 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
707 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
708 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
709 William for pointing out the need for this.
710
711 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
712 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
713 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
714
715 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
716 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a

752 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
753 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
754
755 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
756 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
757 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
758 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
759 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
760 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
761 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
762 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
763 the documentation and new-style config files should be
764 much less confusing.
765
766 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
767 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
768 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
769

778 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
779 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
780 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
781 from the client.
782
783 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
784 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
785 finding this.
786
787 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
788 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
789 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
790 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
791 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
792 server-override option.
793
794 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
795 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
796 allows a single line of the form
797 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
798 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
799 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
800 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
801 irrespective of the existance or lack of
802 interface=<interface>
803 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
804 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
805 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
806 configuration.
807
808 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
809
810 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
811 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
812
813 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
814 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
815 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
816 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
817
818 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
819 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the

826 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
827 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
828 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
829 this and testing the fix.
830
831 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
832 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
833 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
834
835 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
836 upstream servers: this allows something like
837 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
838 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
839 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
840 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
841
842 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
843 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
844 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
845 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
846 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
847 work on this.
848
849 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
850 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
851 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
852 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
853 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
854 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski

902 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
903 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
904 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
905 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
906 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
907 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
908 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
909 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
910
911 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
912 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
913 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
914 necessary for some *WRT distros.
915
916 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
917 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
918 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
919 when dnsmasq is first started.
920
921 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
922 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
923 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
924 with certain clients.
925
926 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
927 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
928 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
929
930 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
931 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
932 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
933 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
934 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
935 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
936 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
937 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
938 numbers delimited by dots.

948
949 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
950 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
951 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
952 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
953 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
954 addresses available in such an installation removes a
955 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
956
957 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
958 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
959 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
960 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.

1004 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1005 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring

1010version 2.51
1011 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1012 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1013 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1014 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1015 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1016 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1017 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1018 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1019 suggestion.
1020
1021 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1022 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1023 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1024 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1025 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1026 a DHCP relay, if used.
1027 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1028
1029 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1030 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1031
1032 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1033 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1034 dhcp-option-force.
1035
1036 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1037 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1038 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1039
1040 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1041 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1042 the patch.
1043
1044 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1045
1046 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1047 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1048
1049 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1050 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1051 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1052 suggestion.
1053
1054 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1055 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1056 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1057 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1058 dhcp-optsfile.
1059
1060 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1061 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1062 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1063 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1064 suggestion.
1065
1066 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1067 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1068 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1069 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1070 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1071
1072 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1073 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1074 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1075 fragmented packets.
1076
1077 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1078 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.

1103 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but

1151 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the

1179 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1180 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1181 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1182 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1183 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1184 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1185 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1186 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1187 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1188 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1189 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1190 Krafft for the bug report.

1238 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break

1241 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1242 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.

1272 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1273 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1274 a domain associated with each client, and only
1275 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1276 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,

1306 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1307 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1308 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1309 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1310 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1311 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1312 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1313 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1314 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1315 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1316 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.

1318 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong

1402 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1403 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1404 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1405 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1406 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1407 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1408 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1409 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1410 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1411 suggestions.
1412
1413 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1414 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1415 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1416
1417 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1418 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1419 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1420 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1421 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1422 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1423 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1424 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1425 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1426 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1427
1428 Replace the random number generator, for better
1429 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1430 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1431 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1432 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1433 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1434 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1435
1436 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1437 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
