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).

16 to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter

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

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.

77 When the address which triggered the construction of an
78 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
79 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
80 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
81 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
82 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
83 arguing for this.

98 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
99 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
100 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
101 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
102 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.

110version 2.66
111 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
112 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
113 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
114 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
115 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
116 servers to be configured.
117
118 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
119 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
120 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
121 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
122 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
123 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
124 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
125 this idea.

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

194 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
195 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
196 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
197 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
198 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
199 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.

276 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
277 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
278 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
279 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
280 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
281 superceded by other mechanisms.

341 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
342 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
343 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
344 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to

365 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
366 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
367 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
368 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
369 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
370 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
371 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
372 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
373 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
374 Gadgil.
375
376 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
377 the above.

382 Forkel.
383
384 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
385 work even if there is no interface carrying the
386 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
387 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
388 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
389 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for

395
c8257540
SK
396 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
397 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
398 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
399 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
400 for existing connections, but new connections will use
401 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
402 renumbering at least possible.
403

451 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
452 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
453 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
454 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
455 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
456 implementation.
457
458 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
459 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
460 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
461 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
462 set them from the make command line.
463
464 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
465 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

496 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
497 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
498 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
499 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
500 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
501 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
502 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
503 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
504 These will be added as the standards mature.
505 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
506 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
507 testers who have got it this far.

526 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
527 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
528 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
529 report.
530
531 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
532 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
533 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
534 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
535 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
536 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
537 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
538 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
539 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

550 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
551 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
552 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
553 server-deployment applications need this.
554
555 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
556 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
557 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
558 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
559 in chasing this one down.
560
561 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
562 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
563 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
564 the problem.
565
566 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
567 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
568 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
569 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
570 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
571 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
572
573 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
574 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
575 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
576 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
577 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
578 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
579 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
580 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
581
582 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
583 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
584
585 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
586 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
587 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
588 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
589
590 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
591 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
592
593 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
594 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
595 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
596 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
597 Agrawal for the patch.
598
599 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
600 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
601 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
602 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
603 per-network values. So
604 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
605 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
606 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
607 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
608 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
609 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
610
611 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
612 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
613 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
614 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
615 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
616 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
617 a comprehensive test-case.

707
708 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
709 transfer has completed succesfully.
710
711 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
712 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
713 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
714 which automatically creates
715 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
716 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
717
718 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
719 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.

721 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
722 thanks for that.
723
724 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
725 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
726 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
727 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
728 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
729 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
730 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
731 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
732 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
733
734 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
735 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
736 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
737 set.
738
739 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
740 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
741
742 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
743 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
744 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
745
746 Edit
747 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
748 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
749 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
750
751 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
752 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
753 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
754 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
755 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
756 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
757 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
758 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
759 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
760 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
761 So:
762 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
763 --server=/google.com/#
764 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
765 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
766 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
767 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
768 William for pointing out the need for this.
769
770 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
771 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
772 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
773
774 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
775 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
776 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is

811 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
812 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
813
814 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
815 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
816 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
817 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
818 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
819 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
820 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
821 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
822 the documentation and new-style config files should be
823 much less confusing.
824
825 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
826 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
827 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.

837 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
838 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
839 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
840 from the client.
841
842 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
843 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
844 finding this.
845
846 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
847 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
848 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
849 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
850 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
851 server-override option.
852
853 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
854 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
855 allows a single line of the form
856 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
857 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
858 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
859 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
860 irrespective of the existance or lack of
861 interface=<interface>
862 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
863 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
864 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
865 configuration.
866
867 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
868
869 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
870 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
871
872 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
873 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug

885 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
886 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
887 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
888 this and testing the fix.

890 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
891 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
892 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
893
894 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
895 upstream servers: this allows something like
896 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
897 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
898 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
899 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.

901 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
902 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
903 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
904 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
905 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
906 work on this.
907
908 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
909 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
910 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
911 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
912 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
913 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski

961 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
962 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
963 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
964 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
965 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
966 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
967 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
968 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
969
970 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
971 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
972 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
973 necessary for some *WRT distros.
974
975 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
976 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
977 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
978 when dnsmasq is first started.
979
980 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
981 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
982 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
983 with certain clients.
984
985 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
986 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
987 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
988
989 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
990 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
991 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
992 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
993 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
994 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
995 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
996 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
997 numbers delimited by dots.

999 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1000 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1001
1002 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1003 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1004
1005 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1006 contrib/Solaris10.
1007
1008 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1009 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1010 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1011 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1012 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1013 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1014 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1015
1016 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1017 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1018 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1019 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1020
1021 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1022 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1023 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1024
1025 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1026 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1027 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1028
1029 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1030 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1031 looks like this:
1032 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1033
1034 Add some application specific code to assist in
1035 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1036 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1037
1038 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1039 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1040 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to

1070 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1071 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1072 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1073 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1074 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1075 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1076 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1077 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1078 suggestion.
1079
1080 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1081 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1082 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1083 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1084 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1085 a DHCP relay, if used.
1086 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1087
1088 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1089 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1090
1091 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1092 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1093 dhcp-option-force.
1094
1095 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1096 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1097 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1098
1099 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1100 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1101 the patch.

1105 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1106 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1107
1108 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1109 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1110 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1111 suggestion.
1112
1113 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1114 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1115 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1116 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1117 dhcp-optsfile.
1118
1119 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1120 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1121 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1122 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1123 suggestion.
1124
1125 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1126 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1127 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1128 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1129 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1130
1131 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1132 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1133 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1134 fragmented packets.
1135
1136 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1137 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.

1207 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1208 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where

1238 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1239 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1240 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1241 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1242 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1243 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1244 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1245 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1246 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1247 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1248 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1249 Krafft for the bug report.

1297 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break

1300 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1301 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.

1331 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1332 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1333 a domain associated with each client, and only
1334 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1335 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,

1365 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1366 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1367 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1368 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1369 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1370 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1371 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1372 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1373 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1374 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1375 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.

1429version 2.43
1430 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1431
1432 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1433 illegally.
1434
1435 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1436
1437 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1438 format.
1439
1440 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1441 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1442 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1443 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1444 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1445
1446 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1447 Rack for the bug report.
1448
1449 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1450 Bergquist.
1451
1452 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1453 option.
1454
1455 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1456 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1457
1458 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1459 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1460
1461 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1462 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1463 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1464 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1465 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1466 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1467 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1468 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1469 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1470 suggestions.
1471
1472 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1473 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1474 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1475
1476 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1477 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1478 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1479 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1480 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1481 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1482 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1483 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1484 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1485 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1486
1487 Replace the random number generator, for better
1488 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1489 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1490 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1491 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1492 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1493 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1494
1495 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1496 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1497 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1498 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1499 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
