3 --conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
4 this and supplying the patch.

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).

15 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
16 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
17 Korsgaard for spotting the problem.

22 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
23 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.

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.

34 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
35 operation on non-socket" error on startup with
36 configurations which have exactly one --interface option
37 and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
38 bug report.

44 spurious error when all seven possible items were
45 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.

SK
53 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
54 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
55 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
56 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
57 report.

66 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
67 if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
68 name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
69 reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.

SK
75version 2.66
76 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
77 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
78 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
79 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
80 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
81 servers to be configured.
82
83 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
84 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
85 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
86 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
87 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
88 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
89 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
90 this idea.

93 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
94 patch.
95
96 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
97 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
98 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
99 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
100 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
101 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
102 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.

104 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
105 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
106 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.

SK
159 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
160 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
161 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
162 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
163 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
164 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.

191 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
192 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a

214
215 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
216 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
217 without setting source address and interface, since this
218 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
219 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

241 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
242 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
243 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
244 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
245 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
246 superceded by other mechanisms.

256 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
257 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
258 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
259 the suggestion.

SK
300version 2.61
301 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
302 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
303 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
304 addresses.
305
01d1b8dd
SK
306 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
307 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
308 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
309 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
310 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
311 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.

314
8643ec7f
SK
315 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
316 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
317 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
8358e0f4 318 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
8643ec7f 319 this down.
eabc6dd7 320
8643ec7f
SK
321 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
322 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
323 to wait around for other DHCP servers.

SK
330 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
331 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
332 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
333 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
334 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
335 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
336 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
337 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
338 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
339 Gadgil.
340
341 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
342 the above.
343
344 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
345 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can

347 Forkel.
348
349 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
350 work even if there is no interface carrying the
351 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
352 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
353 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
354 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
355 the idea and initial patch.

359 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
360
c8257540
SK
361 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
362 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
363 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
364 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
365 for existing connections, but new connections will use
366 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
367 renumbering at least possible.
368
369 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
8358e0f4 370 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

412 which is not the primary address of an interface.
413
414 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
415
416 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
417 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
418 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
419 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
420 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
421 implementation.
422
423 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
424 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
425 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
426 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
427 set them from the make command line.
428
429 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
430 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

449 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
450 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
451 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
452 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
453
fdacfb01
SK
454 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
455 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
456 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
457 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
e5ffdb9c 458 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
b36ae194
SK
459 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
460
fdacfb01
SK
461 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
462 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
463 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
464 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
465 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
466 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
467 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
468 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
469 These will be added as the standards mature.
470 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
471 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
472 testers who have got it this far.

474 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
475 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
476 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
477 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
478 enabling with --enable-ra.

491 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
492 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
493 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
494 report.
495
496 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
497 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
498 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
499 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
500 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
501 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
502 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
503 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
504 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

508 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
509 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
510
511 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
512 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
513 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
514
515 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
516 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
517 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
518 server-deployment applications need this.
519
520 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
521 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
522 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
523 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
524 in chasing this one down.
525
526 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
527 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
528 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
529 the problem.
530
531 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
532 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
533 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
534 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
535 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
536 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
537
538 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
539 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
540 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
541 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
542 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
543 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
544 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
545 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
546
547 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
548 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
549
550 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
551 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
552 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
553 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
554
555 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
556 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
557
558 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
559 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
560 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
561 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
562 Agrawal for the patch.
563
564 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
565 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
566 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
567 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
568 per-network values. So
569 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
570 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
571 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
572 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
573 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
574 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
575
576 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
577 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
578 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
579 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
580 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
581 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
582 a comprehensive test-case.
583
584 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
585 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
de604c18 586 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.

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

635 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.

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

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

646 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
647 Petrin for the orignal patch.

658
659 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
660 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
661 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
662 to John Hallam for the patch.
663
664 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
665 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
666 character chunks instead.
667
668 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
669 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
670 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
671 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
672
673 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
674 transfer has completed succesfully.
675
676 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
677 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
678 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
679 which automatically creates
680 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
681 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
682
683 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
684 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
685
686 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
687 thanks for that.
688
689 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
690 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
691 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
692 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
693 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
694 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
695 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
696 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
697 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
698
699 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
700 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
701 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
702 set.
703
704 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
705 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
706
707 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
708 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
709 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
710
711 Edit
712 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
713 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
714 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
715
716 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
717 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
718 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
719 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
720 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
721 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
722 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
723 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
724 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
725 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
726 So:
727 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
728 --server=/google.com/#
729 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
730 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
731 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
732 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
733 William for pointing out the need for this.
734
735 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
736 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
737 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
738
739 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
740 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
741 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
742 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

776 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
777 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
778
779 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
780 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
781 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
782 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
783 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
784 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
785 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
786 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
787 the documentation and new-style config files should be
788 much less confusing.
789
790 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
791 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
792 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
793
794 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.

801
802 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
803 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
804 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
805 from the client.
806
807 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
808 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
809 finding this.
810
811 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
812 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
813 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
814 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
815 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
816 server-override option.
817
818 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
819 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
820 allows a single line of the form
821 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
822 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
823 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
824 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
825 irrespective of the existance or lack of
826 interface=<interface>
827 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
828 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
829 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
830 configuration.
831
832 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
833
834 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
835 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
836
837 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
838 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
839 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
840 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
841
842 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
843 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
844 file, not the process/descriptor.

849 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
850 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
851 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
852 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
853 this and testing the fix.
854
855 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
856 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
857 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
858
859 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
860 upstream servers: this allows something like
861 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
862 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
863 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
864 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
865
866 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
867 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
868 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
869 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
870 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
871 work on this.
872
873 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
874 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
875 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
876 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
877 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
878 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
879 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
880
881 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
882
883 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
884 than one server available for a domain, eg.

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

925version 2.52
926 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
927 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
928 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
929 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
930 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
931 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
932 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
933 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
934
935 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
936 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
937 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
938 necessary for some *WRT distros.
939
940 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
941 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
942 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
943 when dnsmasq is first started.
944
945 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
946 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
947 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
948 with certain clients.
949
950 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
951 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
952 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
953
954 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
955 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
956 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
957 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
958 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
959 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
960 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
961 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
962 numbers delimited by dots.
963
964 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
965 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
966
967 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
968 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
969
970 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
971 contrib/Solaris10.
972
973 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
974 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
975 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
976 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
977 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
978 addresses available in such an installation removes a
979 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
980
981 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
982 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
983 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
984 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
985
986 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
987 the lease-change script in the environment variable
988 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
989
990 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
991 Options". The syntax looks like this:
992 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
993
994 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
995 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
996 looks like this:

1035 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1036 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1037 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1038 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1039 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1040 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1041 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1042 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1043 suggestion.
1044
1045 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1046 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1047 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1048 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1049 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1050 a DHCP relay, if used.
1051 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1052
1053 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1054 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1055
1056 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1057 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1058 dhcp-option-force.
1059
1060 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1061 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1062 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1063
1064 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1065 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1066 the patch.

1070 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1071 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1072
1073 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1074 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1075 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1076 suggestion.
1077
1078 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1079 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1080 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1081 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1082 dhcp-optsfile.
1083
1084 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1085 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1086 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1087 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1088 suggestion.
1089
1090 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1091 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1092 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1093 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1094 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1095
1096 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1097 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1098 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1099 fragmented packets.

1101 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1102 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.

1170 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1171 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1172 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1173 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1174 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1175 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1176 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1177 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro

1203 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1204 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1205 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1206 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1207 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1208 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1209 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1210 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1211 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1212 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1213 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1214 Krafft for the bug report.

1222 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1223 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for

1262 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break

1265 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1266 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1267 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1268 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.

1272 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1273 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1274 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1275 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1276 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1277 directory owned and write-able by the user running

1288 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,

1296 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1297 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1298 a domain associated with each client, and only
1299 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1300 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1301 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1302 long as they are in different domains.

1330 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1331 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1332 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1333 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1334 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1335 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1336 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1337 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1338 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1339 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1340 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.

SK
1342 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong

1434 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1435 suggestions.
1436
1437 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1438 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1439 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1440
1441 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1442 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1443 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1444 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1445 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1446 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1447 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1448 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1449 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1450 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1451
1452 Replace the random number generator, for better
1453 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1454 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1455 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1456 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1457 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1458 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1459
1460 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1461 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1462 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1463 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1464 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1465
1466 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
