6 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
7 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
8 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
9 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
10 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
11 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.

61 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
62 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
63 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
64 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
65 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
66 superceded by other mechanisms.

120version 2.61
121 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
122 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
123 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
124 addresses.
125
01d1b8dd
SK
126 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
127 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
128 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
129 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
130 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
131 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

SK
135 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
136 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
137 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
8358e0f4 138 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
8643ec7f 139 this down.
eabc6dd7 140

SK
141 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
142 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
143 to wait around for other DHCP servers.

SK
150 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
151 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
152 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
153 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
154 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
155 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
156 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
157 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
158 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
159 Gadgil.
160
161 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
162 the above.
163
164 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
165 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can

166 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
167 Forkel.
168
169 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
170 work even if there is no interface carrying the
171 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
172 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
173 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
174 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
175 the idea and initial patch.

177 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
178 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
179 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
180
c8257540
SK
181 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
182 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
183 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
184 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
185 for existing connections, but new connections will use
186 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
187 renumbering at least possible.
188
189 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
8358e0f4 190 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

228 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
229 Flebbe for the patch.
230
231 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
232 which is not the primary address of an interface.
233
234 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
235
236 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
237 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
238 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
239 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
240 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
241 implementation.
242
243 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
244 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
245 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
246 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
247 set them from the make command line.
248
249 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
250 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

262 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
263 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
264 this.

SK
269 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
270 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
271 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
272 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
273
fdacfb01
SK
274 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
275 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
276 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
277 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
e5ffdb9c 278 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
b36ae194
SK
279 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
280
fdacfb01
SK
281 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
282 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
283 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
284 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
285 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
286 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
287 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
288 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
289 These will be added as the standards mature.
290 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
291 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
292 testers who have got it this far.
1adadf58 293
ac8540c3
SK
294 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
295 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
296 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
297 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
298 enabling with --enable-ra.
299

SK
300 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
301 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive

c72daea8
SK
311 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
312 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
313 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
314 report.
315
316 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
317 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
318 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
319 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
320 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
321 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
322 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
323 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
324 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

SK
327version 2.58
328 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
329 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
330
331 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
332 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
333 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
334
335 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
336 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
337 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
338 server-deployment applications need this.
339
340 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
341 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
342 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
343 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
344 in chasing this one down.
345
346 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
347 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
348 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
349 the problem.
350
351 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
352 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
353 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
354 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
355 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
356 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
357
358 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
359 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
360 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
361 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
362 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
363 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
364 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
365 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
366
367 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
368 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
369
370 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
371 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
372 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
373 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
374
375 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
376 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
377
378 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
379 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
380 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
381 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
382 Agrawal for the patch.
383
384 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
385 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
386 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
387 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
388 per-network values. So
389 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
390 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
391 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
392 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
393 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
394 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
395
396 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
397 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
398 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
399 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
400 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
401 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
402 a comprehensive test-case.
403
404 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
405 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
406 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
407
408 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
409 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
410 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
411 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
412 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

419version 2.57
420 Add patches to allow build under Android.
421
422 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
423 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
424 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
425 effectively empty on Android.
426
427 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
428 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
429 wildcard.
430
431 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
432 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
433 spotting this.
434
435 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
436 IDN support continues to be included automatically
437 when i18n is included.
438 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
439
440 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
441 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
442 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
443

28866e95
SK
445version 2.56
446 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
447 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
448
449 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
450 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
451 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
452 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
453
454 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
455 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
456
457 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
458 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
459 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
460
461 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
462 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
463 syslogd.
464
465 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
466 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
467 Petrin for the orignal patch.
468
469 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
470 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
471 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
472
473 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
474 option, on the command line.
475
476 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
477 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
478
479 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
480 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
481 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
482 to John Hallam for the patch.
483
484 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
485 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
486 character chunks instead.
487
488 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
489 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
490 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
491 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
492
493 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
494 transfer has completed succesfully.
495
496 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
497 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
498 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
499 which automatically creates
500 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
501 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
502
503 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
504 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
505
506 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
507 thanks for that.
508
509 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
510 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
511 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
512 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
513 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
514 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
515 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
516 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
517 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
518
519 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
520 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
521 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
522 set.
523
524 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
525 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
526
527 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
528 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
529 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
530
531 Edit
532 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
533 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
534 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
535
536 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
537 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
538 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
539 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
540 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
541 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
542 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
543 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
544 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
545 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
546 So:
547 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
548 --server=/google.com/#
549 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
550 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
551 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
552 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
553 William for pointing out the need for this.
554
555 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
556 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
557 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
558
559 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
560 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
561 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
562 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

595 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
596 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
597 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
598
599 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
600 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
601 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
602 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
603 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
604 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
605 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
606 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
607 the documentation and new-style config files should be
608 much less confusing.
609
610 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
611 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
612 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
613
614 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
615
616 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
617
618 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
619 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
620 finding this.
621
622 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
623 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
624 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
625 from the client.
626
627 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
628 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
629 finding this.
630
631 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
632 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
633 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
634 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
635 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
636 server-override option.
637
638 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
639 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
640 allows a single line of the form
641 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
642 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
643 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
644 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
645 irrespective of the existance or lack of
646 interface=<interface>
647 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
648 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
649 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
650 configuration.
651
652 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
653
654 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
655 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
656
657 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
658 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
659 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
660 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
661
662 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
663 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
664 file, not the process/descriptor.
665
666 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
667 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
668
669 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
670 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
671 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
672 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
673 this and testing the fix.
674
675 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
676 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
677 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
678
679 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
680 upstream servers: this allows something like
681 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
682 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
683 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
684 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
685
686 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
687 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
688 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
689 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
690 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
691 work on this.
692
693 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
694 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
695 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
696 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
697 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
698 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
699 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.

703 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more

716 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
717 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
718 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
719 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.

745version 2.52
746 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
747 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
748 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
749 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
750 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
751 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
752 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
753 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
754
755 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
756 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
757 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
758 necessary for some *WRT distros.
759
760 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
761 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
762 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
763 when dnsmasq is first started.
764
765 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
766 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
767 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
768 with certain clients.
769
770 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
771 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
772 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
773
774 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
775 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
776 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
777 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
778 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
779 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
780 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
781 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
782 numbers delimited by dots.
783
784 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
785 to Joel Macklow for help with this.

787 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
788 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.

790 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
791 contrib/Solaris10.
792
793 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
794 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
795 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
796 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
797 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
798 addresses available in such an installation removes a
799 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
800
801 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
802 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
803 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
804 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
805
806 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
807 the lease-change script in the environment variable
808 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
809
810 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
811 Options". The syntax looks like this:
812 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
813
814 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
815 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
816 looks like this:
817 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>

855 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
856 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
857 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
858 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
859 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
860 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
861 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
862 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
863 suggestion.
864
865 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
866 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
867 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
868 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
869 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
870 a DHCP relay, if used.
871 Suggestions from Michael Rack.

876 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
877 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
878 dhcp-option-force.

880 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
881 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
882 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".

885 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
886 the patch.

893 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
894 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
895 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
896 suggestion.
897
898 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
899 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
900 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
901 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
902 dhcp-optsfile.
903
904 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
905 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
906 is retried. This should improve performance when there
907 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
908 suggestion.
909
910 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
911 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
912 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
913 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
914 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
915
916 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
917 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
918 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
919 fragmented packets.

1023 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1024 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1025 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1026 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1027 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1028 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1029 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1030 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1031 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1032 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1033 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1034 Krafft for the bug report.

1042 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1043 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1044 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1045 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,

1047 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"

1074 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:

1076 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,

1082 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1083 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1084 Windows even when using supernetting.
1085 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1086 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1087 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1088 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.

1092 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1093 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1094 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1095 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1096 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1097 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1098 dnsmasq.

1106 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1107 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1108 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1109 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1110 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).

1116 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1117 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1118 a domain associated with each client, and only
1119 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1120 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1121 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1122 long as they are in different domains.

1150 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1151 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1152 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1153 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1154 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1155 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1156 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1157 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1158 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1159 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1160 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.

1162 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong

1246 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1247 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1248 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1249 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1250 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1251 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1252 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1253 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1254 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1255 suggestions.
1256
1257 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1258 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1259 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1260
1261 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1262 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1263 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1264 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1265 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1266 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1267 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1268 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1269 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1270 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1271
1272 Replace the random number generator, for better
1273 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1274 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1275 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1276 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1277 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1278 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1279
1280 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1281 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1282 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1283 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1284 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
