SK
4 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
5 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.

7 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
8 stuff is pointless without that.

10 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
11 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
12 interfaces.

SK
17 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
18 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
19 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
20 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
21 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
22 superceded by other mechanisms.

SK
50version 2.61
51 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
52 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
53 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
54 addresses.
55
01d1b8dd
SK
56 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
57 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
58 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
59 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
60 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
61 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
7023e382 62

SK
63 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
64
8643ec7f
SK
65 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
66 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
67 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
8358e0f4 68 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
8643ec7f 69 this down.
eabc6dd7 70
8643ec7f
SK
71 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
72 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
73 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
74
75 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
76

77 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
78 suggestion.

SK
80 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
81 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
82 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
83 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
84 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
85 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
86 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
87 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
88 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
89 Gadgil.
90
91 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
92 the above.
93
94 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
95 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
52d4abf2
SK
96 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
97 Forkel.
98
99 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
100 work even if there is no interface carrying the
101 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
102 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
103 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
104 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
105 the idea and initial patch.

SK
107 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
108 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
109 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
110
c8257540
SK
111 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
112 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
113 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
114 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
115 for existing connections, but new connections will use
116 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
117 renumbering at least possible.
118
119 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
8358e0f4 120 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

133 Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
8358e0f4 134 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
9380ba70
SK
135 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
136 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
137 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya

148 Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
149 when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the

159 Flebbe for the patch.
160
161 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
162 which is not the primary address of an interface.
163
164 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
165
166 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
167 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
168 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
169 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
170 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
171 implementation.
172
173 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
174 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
175 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
176 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
177 set them from the make command line.
178
179 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
180 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
181
182 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
183 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

188 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
189 containing many distinct addresses.
190
191 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
192 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
193 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
194 this.

196 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to

SK
199 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
200 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
201 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
202 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
203
fdacfb01
SK
204 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
205 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
206 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
207 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
e5ffdb9c 208 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
b36ae194
SK
209 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
210
fdacfb01
SK
211 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
212 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
213 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
214 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
215 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
216 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
217 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
218 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
219 These will be added as the standards mature.
220 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
221 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
222 testers who have got it this far.
1adadf58 223
ac8540c3
SK
224 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
225 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
226 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
227 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
228 enabling with --enable-ra.
229
552af8b9
SK
230 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
231 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
232 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to

c72daea8
SK
241 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
242 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
243 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
244 report.
245
246 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
247 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
248 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
249 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
250 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
251 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
252 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
253 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
254 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

SK
257version 2.58
258 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
259 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
260
261 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
262 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
263 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
264
265 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
266 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
267 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
268 server-deployment applications need this.
269
270 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
271 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
272 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
273 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
274 in chasing this one down.
275
276 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
277 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
278 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
279 the problem.
280
281 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
282 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
283 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
284 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
285 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
286 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
287
288 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
289 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
290 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
291 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
292 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
293 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
294 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
295 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
296
297 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
298 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
299
300 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
301 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
302 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
303 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
304
305 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
306 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
307
308 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
309 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
310 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
311 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
312 Agrawal for the patch.
313
314 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
315 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
316 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
317 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
318 per-network values. So
319 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
320 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
321 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
322 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
323 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
324 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
325
326 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
327 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
328 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
329 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
330 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
331 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
332 a comprehensive test-case.
333
334 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
335 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
336 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
337
338 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
339 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
340 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
341 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
342 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

SK
349version 2.57
350 Add patches to allow build under Android.
351
352 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
353 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
354 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
355 effectively empty on Android.
356
357 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
358 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
359 wildcard.
360
361 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
362 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
363 spotting this.
364
365 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
366 IDN support continues to be included automatically
367 when i18n is included.
368 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
369
370 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
371 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
372 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
373

28866e95
SK
375version 2.56
376 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
377 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
378
379 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
380 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
381 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
382 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
383
384 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
385 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
386
387 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
388 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
389 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
390
391 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
392 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
393 syslogd.
394
395 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
396 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
397 Petrin for the orignal patch.
398
399 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
400 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
401 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
402
403 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
404 option, on the command line.
405
406 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
407 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
408
409 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
410 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
411 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
412 to John Hallam for the patch.
413
414 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
415 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
416 character chunks instead.
417
418 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
419 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
420 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
421 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
422
423 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
424 transfer has completed succesfully.
425
426 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
427 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
428 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
429 which automatically creates
430 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
431 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
432
433 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
434 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
435
436 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
437 thanks for that.
438
439 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
440 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
441 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
442 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
443 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
444 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
445 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
446 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
447 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
448
449 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
450 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
451 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
452 set.
453
454 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
455 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
456
457 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
458 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
459 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
460
461 Edit
462 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
463 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
464 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
465
466 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
467 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
468 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
469 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
470 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
471 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
472 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
473 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
474 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
475 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
476 So:
477 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
478 --server=/google.com/#
479 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
480 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
481 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
482 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
483 William for pointing out the need for this.
484
485 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
486 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
487 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
488
489 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
490 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
491 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
492 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

520 generated by gcc 4.4.
521
522 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
523 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
524
525 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
526 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
527 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
528
529 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
530 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
531 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
532 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
533 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
534 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
535 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
536 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
537 the documentation and new-style config files should be
538 much less confusing.
539
540 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
541 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
542 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
543
544 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
545
546 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
547
548 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
549 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
550 finding this.
551
552 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
553 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
554 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
555 from the client.
556
557 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
558 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
559 finding this.
560
561 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
562 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
563 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
564 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
565 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
566 server-override option.
567
568 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
569 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
570 allows a single line of the form
571 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
572 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
573 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
574 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
575 irrespective of the existance or lack of
576 interface=<interface>
577 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
578 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
579 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
580 configuration.
581
582 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
583
584 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
585 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
586
587 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
588 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
589 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
590 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
591
592 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
593 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
594 file, not the process/descriptor.
595
596 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
597 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
598
599 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
600 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
601 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
602 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
603 this and testing the fix.
604
605 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
606 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
607 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
608
609 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
610 upstream servers: this allows something like
611 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
612 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
613 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
614 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
615
616 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
617 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
618 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
619 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
620 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
621 work on this.
622
623 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
624 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
625 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
626 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
627 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
628 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
629 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
630
631 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
632
633 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
634 than one server available for a domain, eg.
635 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
636 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
637 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
638 here.

642 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to

645 Fix regression which caused configuration like
646 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
647 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
648 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
649 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
650
651 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
652 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.

675version 2.52
676 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
677 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
678 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
679 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
680 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
681 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
682 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
683 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
684
685 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
686 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
687 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
688 necessary for some *WRT distros.
689
690 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
691 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
692 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
693 when dnsmasq is first started.
694
695 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
696 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
697 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
698 with certain clients.
699
700 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
701 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
702 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
703
704 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
705 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
706 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
707 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
708 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
709 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
710 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
711 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
712 numbers delimited by dots.
713
714 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
715 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
716
717 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
718 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
719
720 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
721 contrib/Solaris10.
722
723 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
724 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
725 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
726 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
727 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
728 addresses available in such an installation removes a
729 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
730
731 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
732 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
733 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
734 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
735
736 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
737 the lease-change script in the environment variable
738 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
739
740 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
741 Options". The syntax looks like this:
742 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
743
744 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
745 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
746 looks like this:
747 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>

785 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
786 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
787 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
788 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
789 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
790 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
791 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
792 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
793 suggestion.
794
795 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
796 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
797 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
798 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
799 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
800 a DHCP relay, if used.
801 Suggestions from Michael Rack.

804 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.

806 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
807 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
808 dhcp-option-force.

810 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
811 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
812 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".

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

823 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
824 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
825 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
826 suggestion.
827
828 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
829 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
830 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
831 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
832 dhcp-optsfile.
833
834 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
835 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
836 is retried. This should improve performance when there
837 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
838 suggestion.
839
840 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
841 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
842 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
843 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
844 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
845
846 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
847 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
848 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
849 fragmented packets.

953 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
954 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
955 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
956 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
957 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
958 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
959 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
960 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
961 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
962 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
963 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
964 Krafft for the bug report.

1006 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1007 as before.
1008 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1009 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1010 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.

1012 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1013 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1014 Windows even when using supernetting.
1015 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1016 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1017 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1018 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.

1022 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1023 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1024 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1025 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1026 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1027 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1028 dnsmasq.

1036 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1037 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1038 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1039 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1040 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).

1046 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1047 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1048 a domain associated with each client, and only
1049 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1050 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1051 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1052 long as they are in different domains.

1080 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1081 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1082 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1083 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1084 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1085 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1086 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1087 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1088 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1089 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1090 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.

1092 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong

1176 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1177 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1178 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1179 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1180 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1181 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1182 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1183 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1184 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1185 suggestions.

1187 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1188 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1189 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1190
1191 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1192 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1193 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1194 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1195 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1196 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1197 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1198 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1199 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1200 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1201
1202 Replace the random number generator, for better
1203 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1204 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1205 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1206 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1207 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1208 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1209
1210 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1211 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1212 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1213 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1214 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
