CommitLineData

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.

31 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
32 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
33 spotting the problem.
34
12d71ed2
SK
35 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
36 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
37 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
38 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
39 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
40 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.

43 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.

2022310f
SK
67 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
68 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
69 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
70 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
71

72 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
73 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
74 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.

SK
76 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
77 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
78 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
79
d1a5975f
SK
80 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
81 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to

87 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
88 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
89 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
29d28dda
SK
90
91 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
92 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
93 without setting source address and interface, since this
94 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
95 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
96
97 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
98 dhcp-range on a subnet.

SK
104 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
105 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
106
107 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
108 stuff is pointless without that.

110 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
111 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
112 interfaces.

114 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
115 to Metin Kaya for the patches.

8bc4cece
SK
117 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
118 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
119 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
120 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
121 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
122 superceded by other mechanisms.
123

124 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
125 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.

132 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
133 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
134 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
135 the suggestion.
136
137 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
138 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
139 spotted the ommission.

162 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
163 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
164 for spotting this.
165

SK
166 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
167 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
168 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.

SK
170 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
171

SK
172 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
173 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
174 his help nailing this.
175
eabc6dd7
SK
176version 2.61
177 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
178 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
179 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
180 addresses.
181
01d1b8dd
SK
182 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
183 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
184 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
185 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
186 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
187 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
7023e382 188
8b372704
SK
189 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
190
8643ec7f
SK
191 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
192 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
193 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
8358e0f4 194 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
8643ec7f 195 this down.
eabc6dd7 196
8643ec7f
SK
197 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
198 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
199 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
200
201 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
202
e759d426
SK
203 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
204 suggestion.
205
a9530964
SK
206 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
207 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
208 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
209 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
210 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
211 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
212 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
213 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
214 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
215 Gadgil.
216
217 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
218 the above.
219
220 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
221 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
52d4abf2
SK
222 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
223 Forkel.
224
225 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
226 work even if there is no interface carrying the
227 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
228 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
229 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
230 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
231 the idea and initial patch.
a9530964 232

SK
233 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
234 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
235 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
236
c8257540
SK
237 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
238 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
239 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
240 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
241 for existing connections, but new connections will use
242 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
243 renumbering at least possible.
244
245 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
8358e0f4 246 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

8358e0f4 260 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
9380ba70
SK
261 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
262 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
263 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya

283version 2.60
284 Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
285 Flebbe for the patch.
286
287 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
288 which is not the primary address of an interface.
289
290 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
291
292 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
293 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
294 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
295 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
296 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
297 implementation.
298
299 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
300 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
301 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
302 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
303 set them from the make command line.
304
305 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
306 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
307
308 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
309 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

314 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
315 containing many distinct addresses.
316
317 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
318 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
319 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
320 this.

SK
322 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
323 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
324
751d6f4a
SK
325 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
326 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
327 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
328 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
329
fdacfb01
SK
330 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
331 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
332 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
333 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
e5ffdb9c 334 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
b36ae194
SK
335 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
336
fdacfb01
SK
337 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
338 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
339 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
340 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
341 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
342 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
343 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
344 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
345 These will be added as the standards mature.
346 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
347 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
348 testers who have got it this far.
1adadf58 349
ac8540c3
SK
350 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
351 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
352 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
353 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
354 enabling with --enable-ra.
355
552af8b9
SK
356 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
357 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive

c72daea8
SK
367 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
368 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
369 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
370 report.
371
372 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
373 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
374 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
375 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
376 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
377 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
378 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
379 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
380 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

7de060b0
SK
383version 2.58
384 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
385 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
386
387 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
388 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
389 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
390
391 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
392 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
393 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
394 server-deployment applications need this.
395
396 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
397 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
398 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
399 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
400 in chasing this one down.
401
402 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
403 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
404 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
405 the problem.
406
407 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
408 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
409 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
410 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
411 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
412 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
413
414 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
415 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
416 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
417 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
418 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
419 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
420 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
421 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
422
423 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
424 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
425
426 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
427 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
428 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
429 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
430
431 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
432 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
433
434 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
435 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
436 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
437 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
438 Agrawal for the patch.
439
440 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
441 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
442 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
443 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
444 per-network values. So
445 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
446 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
447 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
448 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
449 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
450 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
451
452 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
453 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
454 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
455 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
456 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
457 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
458 a comprehensive test-case.
459
460 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
461 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
de604c18 462 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
7de060b0
SK
463
464 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
465 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
466 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
467 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to

475version 2.57
476 Add patches to allow build under Android.
477
478 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
479 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
480 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's

504
505 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
506 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
507 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.

511 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
512
513 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
514 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
515 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
516
517 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
518 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
519 syslogd.
520
521 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
522 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
523 Petrin for the orignal patch.

526 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to

532 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
533 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
534
535 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
536 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
537 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
538 to John Hallam for the patch.
539
540 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
541 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
542 character chunks instead.
543
544 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
545 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
546 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
547 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
548
549 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
550 transfer has completed succesfully.
551
552 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
553 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
554 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
555 which automatically creates
556 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
557 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
558
559 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
560 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
561
562 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
563 thanks for that.
564
565 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
566 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
567 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
568 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
569 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
570 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
571 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
572 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
573 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
574
575 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
576 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
577 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
578 set.
579
580 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
581 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
582
583 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
584 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
585 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
586
587 Edit
588 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
589 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
590 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
591
592 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
593 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
594 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
595 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
596 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
597 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
598 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
599 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
600 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
601 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
602 So:
603 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
604 --server=/google.com/#
605 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
606 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
607 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
608 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
609 William for pointing out the need for this.
610
611 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
612 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
613 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
614
615 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
616 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
617 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
618 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

650
651 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
652 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
653 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
654
655 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
656 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
657 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
658 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
659 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
660 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
661 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
662 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
663 the documentation and new-style config files should be
664 much less confusing.
665
666 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
667 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
668 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
669
670 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
671
672 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.

674 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in

677
678 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
679 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
680 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
681 from the client.
682
683 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
684 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
685 finding this.
686
687 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
688 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
689 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
690 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
691 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
692 server-override option.
693
694 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
695 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
696 allows a single line of the form
697 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
698 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
699 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
700 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
701 irrespective of the existance or lack of
702 interface=<interface>
703 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
704 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
705 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
706 configuration.
707
708 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
709
710 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
711 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
712
713 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
714 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
715 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
716 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
717
718 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
719 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
720 file, not the process/descriptor.
721
722 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package

725 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
726 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
727 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
728 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
729 this and testing the fix.
730
731 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
732 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
733 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
734
735 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
736 upstream servers: this allows something like
737 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
738 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
739 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
740 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
741
742 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
743 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
744 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
745 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
746 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
747 work on this.
748
749 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
750 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
751 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
752 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
753 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
754 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
755 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
756
757 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
758
759 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
760 than one server available for a domain, eg.

764 here.

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

775 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
776
777 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.

801version 2.52
802 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
803 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
804 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
805 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
806 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
807 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
808 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
809 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
810
811 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
812 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
813 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
814 necessary for some *WRT distros.
815
816 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
817 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
818 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
819 when dnsmasq is first started.
820
821 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
822 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
823 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
824 with certain clients.
825
826 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
827 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
828 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
829
830 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
831 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
832 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
833 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
834 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
835 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
836 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
837 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
838 numbers delimited by dots.
839
840 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks

846 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
847 contrib/Solaris10.
848
849 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
850 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
851 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
852 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
853 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
854 addresses available in such an installation removes a
855 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
856
857 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
858 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
859 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
860 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
861
862 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
863 the lease-change script in the environment variable
864 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
865
866 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
867 Options". The syntax looks like this:
868 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
869
870 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
871 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
872 looks like this:
873 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>

912 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
913 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
914 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
915 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
916 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
917 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
918 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
919 suggestion.
920
921 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
922 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
923 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
924 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
925 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
926 a DHCP relay, if used.
927 Suggestions from Michael Rack.

932 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
933 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
934 dhcp-option-force.
935
936 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
937 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
938 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
939
940 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
941 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
942 the patch.

949 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
950 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
951 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
952 suggestion.
953
954 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
955 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
956 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
957 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
958 dhcp-optsfile.
959
960 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
961 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
962 is retried. This should improve performance when there
963 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
964 suggestion.
965
966 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
967 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
968 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
969 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
970 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
971
972 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
973 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
974 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
975 fragmented packets.

1079 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1080 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1081 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1082 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1083 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1084 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1085 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1086 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1087 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1088 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1089 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1090 Krafft for the bug report.

1206 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1207 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1208 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1209 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1210 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1211 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1212 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1213 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1214 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1215 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1216 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.

1302 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1303 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1304 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1305 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1306 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1307 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1308 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1309 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1310 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1311 suggestions.

1313 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1314 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1315 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1316
1317 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1318 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1319 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1320 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1321 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1322 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1323 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1324 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1325 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1326 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1327
1328 Replace the random number generator, for better
1329 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1330 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1331 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1332 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1333 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1334 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1335
1336 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1337 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1338 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1339 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1340 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
