36 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
37 queries which include the specified address. No error is
38 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
39 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
40 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
41 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
42 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.

SK
44 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
45 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
46 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
47 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
48 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
49 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
50 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
51 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
00cd9d55 52

SK
53 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
54 to search automatically.

56 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
57 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
58 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
59 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
60 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
61 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.

63 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
64 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
65 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.

SK
66
67 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
68 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
69 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
70 configuration each time.

78 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
38440b20
SK
79 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
80 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
81 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.

SK
87 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
88 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
89 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
90 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
91 sterling work chasing this down.

93 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
94 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.

SK
95 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
96 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
97 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
38440b20
SK
98
99 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
100 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
101 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
102 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
103 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
104 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
105 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
106 for the bugreport and initial patch.
04b0ac05 107
78c61847
SK
108 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
109 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
110 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
111 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
112 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
113 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for

169 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
170 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
171 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
172 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
173 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.

231 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
232 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
233 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
234 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.

237 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
238 compiled with this enabled, with
239
240 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
241
242 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
243 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
244 statically with
245
246 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
247
198d940a
SK
248 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
249 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
250
613d6c52
SK
251 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
252 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
253 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
254 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
255 distribution. You should of course check that these are
256 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
257
258 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
259 dnssec
1ee9be4c 260
613d6c52
SK
261 to your config is all thats needed to get things
262 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
263 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
264 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
265 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
266 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
267 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
268 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
269 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
270 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
271 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
272 records, which significantly improve the performance of
273 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
274 DNSSEC in action.
275
198d940a
SK
276 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
277 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
278 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
279 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
280 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
281 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
282 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
283 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
284 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
285 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
286 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
287 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
288 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
289 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
290 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
291 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
292
293 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
294 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
295 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
296 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
297 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
298 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
299 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
300 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
301 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
302 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
303 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
304 henceforward will be complete.

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

SK
317 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
318 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
319 an interface exists on the server. This option
f00690f9 320 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
c8a80487
SK
321 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
322 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
323 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
324 being used for DNS amplification attacks.

338version 2.68
339 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
340 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
341 addresses.
342
343 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
344 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
345 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
346 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
347 restarted, this bug disappeared.

349 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
350 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
351
352 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
353
354 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
355 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
356 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
357 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
358 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
359 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
360 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
361 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
362 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
363 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
364 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
365 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
366 IPv6 addresses of eth0.

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

383 exists) then we should do it always.

396 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
397 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
398 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
399 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
400 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
401 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
402 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
403 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

415 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
416 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
417 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
418 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
419 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
420 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
421 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
422 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

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

471 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
472 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively

804 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties

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

945 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
946 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
947 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
948 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
949 enabling with --enable-ra.

962 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
963 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
964 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
965 report.
966
967 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
968 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
969 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
970 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
971 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
972 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
973 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
974 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
975 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

978version 2.58
979 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
980 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
981
982 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
983 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
984 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
985
986 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
987 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
988 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
989 server-deployment applications need this.
990
991 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
992 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
993 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
994 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
995 in chasing this one down.
996
997 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
998 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
999 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1000 the problem.
1001
1002 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1003 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1004 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1005 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1006 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1007 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1008
1009 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1010 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1011 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1012 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1013 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1014 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1015 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1016 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1017
1018 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1019 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1020
1021 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1022 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1023 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1024 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1025
1026 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1027 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1028
1029 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1030 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1031 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1032 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1033 Agrawal for the patch.
1034
1035 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1036 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1037 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1038 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1039 per-network values. So
1040 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1041 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1042 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1043 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1044 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1045 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1046
1047 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1048 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1049 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1050 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1051 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1052 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1053 a comprehensive test-case.
1054
1055 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1056 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
de604c18 1057 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.

1073 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1074 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1075 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1076 effectively empty on Android.

1080 wildcard.

1100 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1101 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1102 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1103 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.

1105 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1106 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1107
1108 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1109 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1110 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1111
1112 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1113 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the

1116 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1117 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1118 Petrin for the orignal patch.

1127 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1128 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1129
1130 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1131 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1132 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1133 to John Hallam for the patch.
1134
1135 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1136 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1137 character chunks instead.
1138
1139 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1140 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1141 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1142 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1143
1144 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1145 transfer has completed succesfully.
1146
1147 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1148 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1149 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1150 which automatically creates
1151 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1152 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1153
1154 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1155 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1156
1157 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1158 thanks for that.
1159
1160 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1161 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1162 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1163 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1164 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1165 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1166 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1167 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1168 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1169
1170 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1171 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1172 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1173 set.
1174
1175 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1176 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1177
1178 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1179 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1180 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1181
1182 Edit
1183 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1184 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1185 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1186
1187 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1188 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1189 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1190 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1191 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1192 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1193 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1194 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1195 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1196 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1197 So:
1198 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1199 --server=/google.com/#
1200 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1201 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1202 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1203 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1204 William for pointing out the need for this.
1205
1206 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1207 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1208 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1209
1210 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1211 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1212 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1213 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

1245
1246 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1247 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1248 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1249
1250 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1251 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1252 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1253 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1254 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1255 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1256 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1257 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1258 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1259 much less confusing.
1260
1261 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1262 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1263 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1264
1265 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1266
1267 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1268
1269 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1270 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1271 finding this.
1272
1273 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1274 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1275 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1276 from the client.
1277
1278 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1279 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1280 finding this.
1281
1282 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1283 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1284 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1285 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1286 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1287 server-override option.
1288
1289 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1290 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1291 allows a single line of the form
1292 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1293 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1294 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1295 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1296 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1297 interface=<interface>
1298 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1299 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1300 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1301 configuration.
1302
1303 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1304
1305 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1306 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1307
1308 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1309 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1310 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1311 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1312
1313 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1314 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1315 file, not the process/descriptor.
1316
1317 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1318 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1319
1320 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1321 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1322 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1323 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1324 this and testing the fix.
1325
1326 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1327 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1328 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1329
1330 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1331 upstream servers: this allows something like
1332 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1333 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1334 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1335 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1336
1337 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1338 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1339 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1340 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1341 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1342 work on this.
1343
1344 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1345 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1346 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1347 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1348 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1349 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1350 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1351
1352 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1353
1354 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1355 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1356 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1357 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1358 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1359 here.

1361 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1362
1363 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1364 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1365
1366 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1367 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1368 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1369 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1370 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1371
1372 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1373 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.

1396version 2.52
1397 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1398 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1399 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1400 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1401 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1402 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1403 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1404 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1405
1406 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1407 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1408 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1409 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1410
1411 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1412 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1413 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1414 when dnsmasq is first started.
1415
1416 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1417 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1418 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1419 with certain clients.
1420
1421 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1422 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1423 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1424
1425 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1426 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1427 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1428 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1429 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1430 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1431 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1432 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1433 numbers delimited by dots.

1435 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1436 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1437
1438 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1439 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1440
1441 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1442 contrib/Solaris10.
1443
1444 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1445 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1446 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1447 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1448 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1449 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1450 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1451
1452 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1453 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1454 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1455 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1456
1457 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1458 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1459 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1460
1461 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1462 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1463 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1464
1465 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1466 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1467 looks like this:
1468 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>

1474 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1475 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1476 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to

1506 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1507 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1508 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1509 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1510 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1511 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1512 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1513 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1514 suggestion.
1515
1516 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1517 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1518 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1519 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1520 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1521 a DHCP relay, if used.
1522 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1523
1524 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1525 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1526
1527 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1528 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1529 dhcp-option-force.
1530
1531 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1532 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1533 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1534
1535 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1536 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1537 the patch.

1541 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1542 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1543
1544 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1545 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1546 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1547 suggestion.
1548
1549 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1550 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1551 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1552 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1553 dhcp-optsfile.
1554
1555 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1556 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1557 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1558 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1559 suggestion.
1560
1561 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1562 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1563 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1564 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1565 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1566
1567 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1568 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1569 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1570 fragmented packets.

1643 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1644 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where

1674 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1675 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1676 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1677 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1678 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1679 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1680 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1681 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1682 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1683 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1684 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1685 Krafft for the bug report.

1733 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break

1736 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1737 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.

1767 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1768 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1769 a domain associated with each client, and only
1770 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1771 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,

1801 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1802 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1803 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1804 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1805 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1806 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1807 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1808 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1809 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1810 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1811 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.

1813 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong

1866 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1867
1868 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1869 illegally.
1870
1871 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1872
1873 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1874 format.
1875
1876 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1877 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1878 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1879 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1880 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1881
1882 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1883 Rack for the bug report.
1884
1885 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1886 Bergquist.
1887
1888 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
1889 option.
1890
1891 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
1892 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
1893
1894 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1895 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1896
1897 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1898 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1899 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1900 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1901 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1902 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1903 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1904 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1905 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1906 suggestions.
1907
1908 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1909 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1910 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1911
1912 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1913 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1914 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1915 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1916 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1917 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1918 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1919 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1920 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1921 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1922
1923 Replace the random number generator, for better
1924 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1925 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1926 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1927 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1928 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1929 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1930
1931 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1932 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1933 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1934 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1935 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
1936
1937 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
