11 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
12 not SEGV in some circumstances.

14 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
15 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
16 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.

22 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.

SK
23
24 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
25 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.

34 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
35 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
36 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
47669367
SK
37
38 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
39 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
40 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
41 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.

43 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
44 for the bug report.

GH
45
46 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
47 queries which include the specified address. No error is
48 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
49 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
50 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
51 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
52 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
ad946d55 53
97e618a0
SK
54 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
55 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
56 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
57 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
58 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
59 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
60 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
61 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
00cd9d55 62
25cf5e37
SK
63 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
64 to search automatically.
65
28de3876
R
66 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
67 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
68 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
69 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
70 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
71 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
39341559
SK
72
73 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
74 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
75 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
5f4dc5c6
SK
76
77 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
78 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
79 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
80 configuration each time.
28de3876 81

82 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
83 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
84 for the patch.

f6e62e2a
SK
87
88 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
38440b20
SK
89 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
90 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
91 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
92 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.

94 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
95 the patch.

38440b20
SK
97 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
98 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
99 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
100 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
101 sterling work chasing this down.
102
103 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
104 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
0df29f5e
SK
105 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
106 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
107 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
38440b20
SK
108
109 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
110 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
111 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
112 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
113 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
114 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
115 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
116 for the bugreport and initial patch.
04b0ac05 117
78c61847
SK
118 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
119 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
120 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
121 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
122 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
123 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
a5ae1f85
SK
124 pointing out the problem.

127 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
128 spotting the problem.

130 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
131 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
132 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
133 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
134 change permanent.

173 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
174 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
175 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
176 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
177 patch.

b5ea1cc2
SK
179 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
180 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
181 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
182 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
183 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
184 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.

SK
186 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So

202 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
203 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
204 non-existent DS records.

207 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
208 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug

231 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
232 valuable research on how to implement this.

SK
241 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
242 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
243 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
244 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
245 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.

SK
247 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
248 compiled with this enabled, with
249
250 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
251
252 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
253 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
254 statically with
255
256 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
257
198d940a
SK
258 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
259 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
260
613d6c52
SK
261 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
262 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
263 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
264 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
265 distribution. You should of course check that these are
266 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
267
268 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
269 dnssec
1ee9be4c 270
613d6c52
SK
271 to your config is all thats needed to get things
272 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
273 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
274 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
275 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
276 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
277 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
278 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
279 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
280 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
281 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
282 records, which significantly improve the performance of
283 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
284 DNSSEC in action.
285
198d940a
SK
286 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
287 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
288 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
289 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
290 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
291 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
292 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
293 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
294 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
295 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
296 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
297 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
298 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
299 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
300 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
301 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
302
303 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
304 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
305 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
306 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
307 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
308 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
309 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
310 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
311 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
312 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
313 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
314 henceforward will be complete.

SK
316 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
317 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
318 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
319 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
320 a workable state.

c8a80487
SK
327 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
328 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
329 an interface exists on the server. This option
f00690f9 330 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
c8a80487
SK
331 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
332 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
333 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
334 being used for DNS amplification attacks.

348version 2.68
349 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
350 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
351 addresses.
352
353 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
354 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
355 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
356 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
357 restarted, this bug disappeared.
358
359 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
360 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
361
362 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
363
364 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
365 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
366 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
367 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
368 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
369 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
370 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
371 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
372 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
373 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
374 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
375 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
376 IPv6 addresses of eth0.

389 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
390 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This

393 exists) then we should do it always.

395 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for

406 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
407 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
408 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
409 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
410 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
411 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
412 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
413 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

425 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
426 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
427 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
428 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
429 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
430 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
431 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
432 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

479 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime

559 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set

564 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
565 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix

568 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
569 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to

935 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
936 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
937 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
938 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)

942 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
943 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
944 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
945 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
946 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
947 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
948 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
949 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
950 These will be added as the standards mature.
951 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
952 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
953 testers who have got it this far.

955 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
956 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
957 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
958 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
959 enabling with --enable-ra.

972 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
973 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
974 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
975 report.
976
977 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
978 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
979 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
980 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
981 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
982 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
983 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
984 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
985 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

991
992 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
993 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
994 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
995
996 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
997 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
998 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
999 server-deployment applications need this.
1000
1001 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1002 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1003 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1004 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1005 in chasing this one down.
1006
1007 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1008 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1009 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1010 the problem.
1011
1012 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1013 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1014 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1015 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1016 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1017 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1018
1019 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1020 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1021 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1022 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1023 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1024 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1025 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1026 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1027
1028 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1029 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1030
1031 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1032 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1033 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1034 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1035
1036 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1037 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1038
1039 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1040 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1041 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1042 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1043 Agrawal for the patch.
1044
1045 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1046 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1047 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1048 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1049 per-network values. So
1050 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1051 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1052 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1053 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1054 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1055 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1056
1057 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1058 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1059 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1060 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1061 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1062 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1063 a comprehensive test-case.

1065 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced

1140 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1141 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the

1143 to John Hallam for the patch.
1144
1145 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1146 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1147 character chunks instead.
1148
1149 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1150 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1151 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1152 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1153
1154 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1155 transfer has completed succesfully.
1156
1157 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1158 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1159 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1160 which automatically creates
1161 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1162 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1163
1164 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1165 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1166
1167 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1168 thanks for that.
1169
1170 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1171 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1172 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1173 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1174 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1175 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1176 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1177 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1178 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1179
1180 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1181 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1182 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1183 set.
1184
1185 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1186 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1187
1188 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1189 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1190 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1191
1192 Edit
1193 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1194 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1195 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1196
1197 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1198 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1199 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1200 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1201 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1202 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1203 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1204 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1205 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1206 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1207 So:
1208 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1209 --server=/google.com/#
1210 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1211 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1212 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1213 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1214 William for pointing out the need for this.
1215
1216 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1217 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1218 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1219
1220 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1221 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a

1257 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1258 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1259
1260 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1261 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1262 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1263 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1264 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1265 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1266 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1267 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1268 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1269 much less confusing.
1270
1271 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1272 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1273 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1274
1275 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1276
1277 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.

1282
1283 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1284 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1285 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1286 from the client.
1287
1288 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1289 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1290 finding this.
1291
1292 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1293 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1294 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1295 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1296 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1297 server-override option.
1298
1299 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1300 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1301 allows a single line of the form
1302 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1303 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1304 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1305 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1306 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1307 interface=<interface>
1308 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1309 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1310 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1311 configuration.
1312
1313 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1314
1315 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1316 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1317
1318 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1319 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1320 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1321 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1322
1323 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1324 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1325 file, not the process/descriptor.

1328 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1329
1330 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1331 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1332 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1333 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1334 this and testing the fix.
1335
1336 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1337 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1338 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1339
1340 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1341 upstream servers: this allows something like
1342 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1343 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1344 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1345 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1346
1347 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1348 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1349 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1350 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1351 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1352 work on this.
1353
1354 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1355 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1356 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1357 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1358 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1359 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1360 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1361
1362 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.

1364 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1365 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1366 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1

1376 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1377 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1378 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1379 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1380 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1381

1407 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1408 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1409 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1410 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1411 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1412 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1413 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1414 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1415
1416 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1417 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1418 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1419 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1420
1421 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1422 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1423 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1424 when dnsmasq is first started.
1425
1426 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1427 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1428 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1429 with certain clients.
1430

1435 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1436 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1437 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1438 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1439 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1440 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1441 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1442 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1443 numbers delimited by dots.

1445 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1446 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1447
1448 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1449 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1450
1451 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1452 contrib/Solaris10.
1453
1454 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1455 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1456 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1457 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1458 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1459 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1460 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1461
1462 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1463 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1464 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1465 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1466
1467 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1468 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1469 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1470
1471 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1472 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1473 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1474
1475 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1476 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1477 looks like this:
1478 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>

1484 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1485 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1486 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to

1516 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1517 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1518 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1519 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1520 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1521 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1522 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1523 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1524 suggestion.
1525
1526 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1527 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1528 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1529 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1530 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1531 a DHCP relay, if used.
1532 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1533
1534 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1535 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1536
1537 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1538 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1539 dhcp-option-force.
1540
1541 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1542 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1543 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".

1545 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1546 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1547 the patch.

1551 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1552 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1553
1554 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1555 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1556 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1557 suggestion.
1558
1559 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1560 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1561 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1562 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1563 dhcp-optsfile.
1564
1565 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1566 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1567 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1568 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1569 suggestion.
1570
1571 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1572 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1573 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1574 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1575 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1576
1577 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1578 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1579 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1580 fragmented packets.

1653 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1654 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1655 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1656 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the

1684 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1685 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1686 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1687 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1688 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1689 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1690 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1691 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1692 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1693 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1694 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1695 Krafft for the bug report.

1743 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break

1746 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1747 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.

1777 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1778 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1779 a domain associated with each client, and only
1780 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1781 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,

1811 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1812 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1813 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1814 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1815 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1816 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1817 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1818 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1819 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1820 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1821 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.

1878 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1879 illegally.

1881 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1882
1883 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1884 format.
1885
1886 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1887 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1888 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1889 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1890 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1891
1892 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1893 Rack for the bug report.
1894
1895 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1896 Bergquist.
1897
1898 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1899 option.
1900
1901 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1902 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1903
1904 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1905 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1906
1907 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1908 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1909 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1910 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1911 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1912 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1913 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1914 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1915 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1916 suggestions.
1917
1918 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1919 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1920 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1921
1922 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1923 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1924 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1925 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1926 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1927 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1928 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1929 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1930 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1931 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1932
1933 Replace the random number generator, for better
1934 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1935 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1936 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1937 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1938 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1939 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1940
1941 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1942 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1943 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1944 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1945 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1946
1947 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
