SK
36 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
37 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
38 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
39 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
40 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.

60 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
61 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
62 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
63 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
64 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
65 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
66 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
67 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
68 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
69 Gadgil.
70
71 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
72 the above.

79 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
80 work even if there is no interface carrying the
81 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
82 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
83 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
84 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
85 the idea and initial patch.

90
c8257540
SK
91 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
92 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
93 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
94 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
95 for existing connections, but new connections will use
96 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
97 renumbering at least possible.
98

142 which is not the primary address of an interface.
143
144 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
145
146 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
147 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
148 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
149 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
150 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
151 implementation.
152
153 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
154 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
155 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
156 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
157 set them from the make command line.

179 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
180 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
181 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
182 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
183

SK
184 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
185 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
186 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
187 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
e5ffdb9c 188 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
b36ae194
SK
189 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
190
fdacfb01
SK
191 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
192 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
193 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
194 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
195 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
196 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
197 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
198 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
199 These will be added as the standards mature.
200 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
201 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
202 testers who have got it this far.

ac8540c3
SK
204 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
205 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
206 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
207 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
208 enabling with --enable-ra.

SK
210 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that

c72daea8
SK
221 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
222 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
223 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
224 report.
225
226 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
227 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
228 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
229 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
230 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
231 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
232 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
233 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
234 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

237version 2.58
238 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
239 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
240
241 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
242 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
243 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
244
245 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
246 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
247 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
248 server-deployment applications need this.
249
250 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
251 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
252 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
253 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
254 in chasing this one down.
255
256 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
257 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
258 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
259 the problem.
260
261 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
262 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
263 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
264 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
265 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
266 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
267
268 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
269 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
270 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
271 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
272 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
273 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
274 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
275 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
276
277 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
278 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
279
280 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
281 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
282 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
283 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
284
285 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
286 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
287
288 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
289 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
290 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
291 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
292 Agrawal for the patch.
293
294 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
295 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
296 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
297 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
298 per-network values. So
299 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
300 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
301 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
302 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
303 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
304 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
305
306 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
307 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
308 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
309 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
310 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
311 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
312 a comprehensive test-case.
313
314 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
315 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
316 length. Many thanks to Loïc Pefferkorn for finding this.
317
318 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
319 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
320 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
321 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
322 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

329version 2.57
330 Add patches to allow build under Android.
331
332 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
333 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
334 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
335 effectively empty on Android.
336
337 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
338 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
339 wildcard.
340
341 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
342 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
343 spotting this.
344
345 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
346 IDN support continues to be included automatically
347 when i18n is included.
348 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
349
350 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
351 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
352 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.

355version 2.56
356 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
357 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
358
359 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
360 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
361 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
362 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
363
364 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
365 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
366
367 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
368 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
369 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
370
371 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
372 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
373 syslogd.
374
375 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
376 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
377 Petrin for the orignal patch.
378
379 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
380 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
381 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
382
383 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
384 option, on the command line.
385
386 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
387 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
388
389 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
390 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
391 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
392 to John Hallam for the patch.
393
394 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
395 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
396 character chunks instead.
397
398 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
399 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
400 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
401 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
402
403 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
404 transfer has completed succesfully.
405
406 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
407 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
408 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
409 which automatically creates
410 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
411 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
412
413 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
414 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
415
416 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
417 thanks for that.
418
419 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
420 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
421 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
422 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
423 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
424 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
425 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
426 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
427 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
428
429 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
430 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
431 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
432 set.
433
434 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
435 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
436
437 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
438 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
439 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
440
441 Edit
442 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
443 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
444 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
445
446 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
447 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
448 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
449 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
450 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
451 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
452 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
453 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
454 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
455 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
456 So:
457 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
458 --server=/google.com/#
459 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
460 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
461 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
462 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
463 William for pointing out the need for this.
464
465 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
466 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
467 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
468
469 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
470 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
471 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
472 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.

503 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
504
505 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
506 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
507 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
508
509 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
510 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
511 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
512 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
513 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
514 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
515 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
516 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
517 the documentation and new-style config files should be
518 much less confusing.
519
520 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
521 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
522 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
523
524 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
525
526 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
527
528 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
529 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
530 finding this.
531
532 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
533 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
534 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
535 from the client.
536
537 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
538 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
539 finding this.
540
541 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
542 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
543 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
544 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
545 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
546 server-override option.
547
548 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
549 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
550 allows a single line of the form
551 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
552 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
553 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
554 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
555 irrespective of the existance or lack of
556 interface=<interface>
557 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
558 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
559 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
560 configuration.
561
562 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
563
564 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
565 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
566
567 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
568 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
569 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
570 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
571
572 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
573 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
574 file, not the process/descriptor.
575
576 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
577 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
578
579 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
580 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
581 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
582 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
583 this and testing the fix.
584
585 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
586 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
587 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
588
589 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
590 upstream servers: this allows something like
591 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
592 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
593 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
594 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
595
596 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
597 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
598 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
599 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
600 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
601 work on this.
602
603 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
604 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
605 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
606 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
607 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
608 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
609 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
610
611 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
612
613 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
614 than one server available for a domain, eg.
615 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
616 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
617 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
618 here.
619
620 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
621
622 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
623 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
624
625 Fix regression which caused configuration like
626 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
627 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
628 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
629 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
630
631 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
632 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
633
634 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
635 is set.
636
637 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
638 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.

655version 2.52
656 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
657 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
658 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
659 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
660 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
661 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
662 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
663 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
664
665 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
666 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
667 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
668 necessary for some *WRT distros.
669
670 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
671 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
672 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
673 when dnsmasq is first started.
674
675 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
676 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
677 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
678 with certain clients.
679
680 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
681 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
682 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
683
684 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
685 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
686 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
687 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
688 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
689 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
690 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
691 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
692 numbers delimited by dots.
693
694 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
695 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
696
697 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
698 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
699
700 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
701 contrib/Solaris10.
702
703 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
704 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
705 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
706 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
707 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
708 addresses available in such an installation removes a
709 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
710
711 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
712 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
713 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
714 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
715
716 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
717 the lease-change script in the environment variable
718 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
719
720 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
721 Options". The syntax looks like this:
722 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
723
724 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
725 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
726 looks like this:
727 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
728
729 Add some application specific code to assist in
730 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
731 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
732
733 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
734 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
735 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
736 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.

764version 2.51
765 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
766 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
767 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
768 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
769 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
770 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
771 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
772 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
773 suggestion.
774
775 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
776 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
777 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
778 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
779 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
780 a DHCP relay, if used.
781 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
782
783 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
784 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
785
786 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
787 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
788 dhcp-option-force.
789
790 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
791 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
792 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
793
794 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
795 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
796 the patch.
797
798 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
799
800 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
801 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
802
803 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
804 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
805 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
806 suggestion.
807
808 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
809 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
810 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
811 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
812 dhcp-optsfile.
813
814 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
815 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
816 is retried. This should improve performance when there
817 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
818 suggestion.
819
820 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
821 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
822 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
823 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
824 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
825
826 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
827 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
828 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
829 fragmented packets.
830

832 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.

933 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
934 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
935 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
936 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
937 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
938 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
939 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
940 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
941 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
942 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
943 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
944 Krafft for the bug report.

997 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
998 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.

1002 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1003 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1004 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1005 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1006 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1007 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1008 dnsmasq.

1016 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1017 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1018 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1019 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1020 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).

1026 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1027 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1028 a domain associated with each client, and only
1029 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1030 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1031 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1032 long as they are in different domains.

1060 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1061 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1062 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1063 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1064 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1065 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1066 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1067 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1068 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1069 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1070 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.

1072 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong

1076 improvement.

1153 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
1154 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
1155
1156 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1157 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1158 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1159 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1160 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1161 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1162 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1163 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1164 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1165 suggestions.
1166
1167 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1168 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1169 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1170
1171 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1172 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1173 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1174 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1175 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1176 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1177 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1178 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1179 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1180 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1181
1182 Replace the random number generator, for better
1183 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1184 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1185 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1186 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1187 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1188 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1189
1190 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1191 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1192 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1193 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1194 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
