3 * Everything now builds with no warnings from the C compiler,
4 Coverity, clang static analyzer, or cppcheck.
5 * rlm_ldap now supports defining the LDAP attribute name via
6 backticked expansion (i.e. shell command) in
7 RADIUS <-> LDAP mappings.
8 * rlm_ldap now supports older style generic attributes.
9 * dynamic expansions (e.g. "%{expr:1 + 2}" are now parsed
10 when the server starts. Syntax errors in the strings
11 are caught, and a descriptive error is printed.
12 * Static regular expressions (e.g. /a*b/) are now parsed
13 when the server starts. Syntax errors in the strings
14 are caught, and a descriptive error is printed.
15 * dynamic expansions are cached after being parsed. They are
16 no longer re-parsed at run-time for every request.
17 * regular expressions are now parsed and cached when the server
19 * Added the %{rest:} expansion to rlm_rest, which will send
20 a GET request to the URL passed as the format string.
21 Any body text will be written to the expansion buffer.
22 * rlm_rest now available as a debian package.
23 * When an 'if' condition statically evaluates to true/false,
24 unlang does more static optimization. For examples, see
25 src/tests/keywords/if-skip
26 * All modules are marked as safe for '-C', which lets the
27 dynamic expansion checks work in more situations.
28 * Added 'none' and 'custom' rlm_rest body types. 'custom'
29 allows sending of arbitrary expanded text and content-type
31 * Added "config" section to Perl. See mods-available/perl
32 * Added '%v' which expands to the server version - Patch
34 * more mis-matched casts are caught in "if" conditions,
35 and descriptive errors are printed.
36 * Support basic response validation in radclient. This allows
37 administrators to write local test cases for their
38 site-specific configurations.
39 * Removed radconf2xml and radmin "show client config" and
40 "show home_server config".
41 * Forbid running with vulnerable versions of OpenSSL.
42 See "allow_vulnerable_openssl" in the "security"

44 * Catch underlying "heartbleed" problem, so that nothing bad
45 happens even when using a vulnerable version of OpenSSL.
46 * Add locking API for sql_null, linelog, and detail modules,
47 which should improve performance and work around issues
48 on platforms with bad file locking.
49 * Allow DHCP NAKs to be delayed, via setting
50 reply:FreeRADIUS-Response-Delay = 1
51 * Allow tag and array references anywhere attributes
52 are allowed in "unlang".
53 * many enhancements to radsniff, including output
54 to collectd, ipv6 support and packet loss statistics.
55 * Many dictionary updates (ZTE, Brocade, Motorola)
58 * Fix xlat expression %{attribute[n]} so that it actually
59 returns the n'th attribute instead of the first one.
60 * Don't parse string on RHS of update {} when using unary
61 operators (!*). The RHS should always be ignored.
62 * Check for more optional functions in json-c so we can
63 Build with libjson0, which is the name of the json-c package
65 * Fix issue in radmin where the main dictionaries would
66 not be loaded which, depending on the configuration, may
67 have caused validation errors.
68 * Fix handling of "%{reply:3GPP-*}"
69 * Fix rlm_perl garbage attributes
70 * Fix oracle SQL queries, which amongst other things still
71 used the old expansion format, which is no longer
73 * Truncate long format strings and error markers instead of
75 * Fix multiple attribute parsing in rlm_rest JSON.
76 * Don't crash in rlm_rest if connect_uri is commented out
78 * Don't double-escape strings to / from Perl. You may need
79 to double-check your Perl scripts if they use "\" characters.
80 See mods-available/perl for documentation.
81 * Don't re-run "authorize" if a home server fails to respond.
82 * Don't append "0x" to hex output of octets types, for xlat
83 expansions. This is the same as v2, and makes it easier
84 to concatenate multiple attributes of type "octets"
85 * FreeBSD fixes for execinfo linking.
86 * Make some of the module configurations more consistent.
87 * Fix corner cases where STDOUT wouldn't be closed in
89 * Re-enable "update coa" and originating CoA requests.

92 * Properly parent VPs for talloc, when moving them in map2request.
93 * Various fixes for talloc parent / child relationships
94 * Allow rlm_counter to support VSAs.
95 * Normalize return codes for many modules. "do nothing" is noop,
97 * Run Post-Proxy-Type Fail. Closes #576
98 * Fix DHCP destination port for replies to relays. Closes #591
99 * Do-Not-Respond policy works again Closes #593
100 * Proxy-To-Virtual-Server works again. Closes #596
101 * Build fixes for ancient systems. Closes #607, #608, #609.
102 * %{Module-Return-Code} works again. Closes #610.
103 * Don't increment statistics for Status-Server responses.
105 * A duplicate request isn't a duplicate if the original one
106 is marked "done". This should lower retransmissions from
108 * Fix multiple regular expression and glob memory leaks.
109 * Don't allocate any memory in fr_fault() as it can cause malloc
111 * Temporarily set dumpable flag before calling system in fr_fault()
112 else the debugger may not be able to attach.
113 * Set nonblock on all TCP client sockets.
114 * Fix minor buffer overrun in mschapv2 where some attribute strings
115 were not correctly \0 terminated.
116 * Fix crash on authentication failure with MIT kerberos.
117 * Fix code so that octal escape sequences aren't prematurely unescaped
118 in rlm_sql, radclient, preprocess, and other places. This may
119 require configuration changes, as these sequences will no longer
120 need double escaping (\\) of the backslash.
121 * The connection pools no longer have one connection used twice
122 in certain rare conditions.
124 FreeRADIUS 3.0.2 Fri 21 Mar 2014 08:30:00 EDT urgency=medium
126 * secret keys and LDAP / SQL passwords are now printed as
127 '<<< secret >>>' in debugging mode. Use -Xx to see the
129 * Print out more information about passwords in -Xx,
130 including hashes, comparisons, etc.
131 * Allow cast (and implicit conversion) of integers to IPv4 addresses
132 * More xlats allow attribute references. This means they can
133 operate on binary data. e.g. expr, base64, md5, sha1.
135 * The dictionaries are now auto-loaded. raddb/dictionary
136 should no longer have $INCLUDE ${prefix}/share/dictionary
137 * A "panic_action" can be set to have the server dump a gdb
138 log on SEGV or other fatal error. See radiusd.conf
139 * Add support for SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 to rlm_pap.
140 * Add "%{sha256:}" and "%{sha512:}" xlat functions.
141 * Cache CUI in EAP session resumption.
142 * templates can now have sub-sections, which will be included
143 in the section referencing the template.
144 * Update more dictionaries.
145 * Added more instances of the "always" module, for all return
147 * Suppress broken NASes when proxying. Retransmits which occur
148 more than once per second are rate-limited to once per second.
149 * Allow '&' in more xlat expansions.
150 * Update PostgreSQL schema and queries to record last updated
151 time, and accounting interim.
152 * Optimize more "if" conditions when the server loads. This will
153 avoid work at run time. e.g. ("foo" == "bar") --> FALSE.
154 * Allow removal of all attributes within a list with !* operator.
155 * Allow list to list copies with request qualifiers (outer.).
156 * Add support for ipv4 prefixes and ipv6 addresses and prefixes to
158 * allow radmin command "set module status <module> <code>"
159 which can be used to forcibly enable/disable modules.
160 * pap module now assumes Cleartext-Password if Password-With-Header
161 doesn't have a {...} header.
162 * Added "unpack" module. It can unpack binary data from horrible
163 VSA formats. See raddb/mods-available/unpack

182 * Don't abort() when freeing home servers on exit.
183 * Fix edge case in pairmove() when some attributes could be over-
185 * Do checks for individual sqlite v2 functions so rlm_sqlite builds
186 correctly with more versions of the library.
187 * In heimdal kerberos, create MEMORY ccaches on a per context basis.
188 This prevents issues with the root ccache being used.
189 * Fix corner case with proxying, where home server goes down.
190 * Rate-limit "max_requests" complaint. We don't want to fill the
191 logs when something goes wrong.

199 hashes from hex, where the combined hash and salt was > 64 bytes.
200 * Register sqlcounter attributes correctly, and other issues with it
201 * treat 127.0.0.1/32 as being identical to 127.0.0.1
202 * Don't mangle error output of SQL drivers like PostgreSQL
203 * Fix usage of "tls = ${tls}". It could previously cause problems
204 when the reference was used multiple times.
205 * Fix TLS session leak for incoming sockets.
206 * Try harder to clean up memory on exit when using "-mM"
207 * Fix memory leak when home server is down for RadSec connections
208 * rate-limit outgoing connection attempts when the home server
209 is down. It will retry no more than once per second.
210 * When parsing ipv6 address prefixes, always mask off the host
212 * Fix rlm_counter so that it does not create two reply
214 * Fix issues with DHCP Sub-TLVs where the value of the first
215 Sub-TLV would appear corrupted, and subsequent TLVs would
216 not appear in debug output.
217 * Initialize scope in IP address parsing
218 * Prevent vendor attributes and RFC space attributes from clashing
220 * Set source IP address for DHCP packets from DHCP-Server-IP-Address,

228 values on the chunk boundary may have been omitted in rlm_rest.
229 * Remove duplicate escape sequence parsing in rlm_sqlippool and
230 rlm_sqlcounter which caused issues with escaping %. Escape
231 sequence parsing is now handled purely by the xlat functions.
232 * Ensure %% is treated as a string literal, and so not passed to any
233 xlat escape functions for processing.
234 * Correct calculation of Message-Authenticator
235 for CoA packets. Closes #556
237 FreeRADIUS 3.0.1 Mon 13 Jan 2014 14:30:00 EDT urgency=medium
239 * Add "timeout" to exec, and "ntlm_auth_timeout" to mschap.
240 So that run-away child processes are caught earlier.
241 * Allow TLS clients to use "proto = tls", in which case
242 TLS is required. The shared secret is then set to "radsec".
243 * More documentation in the tls virtual server.
244 * Add "date" module for date formatting.
245 See raddb/mods-available/date.
246 * Added unit test suite for internal server functionality
247 * When loading "update" sections, check if the RHS is a literal

250 The generic attribute can now update lists.
251 * Updated dictionary.extreme.
252 * Update sqlippool to do clears as a separate transaction,

259 * Changes to the OpenLDAP schema to fully expose functionality
260 of the new LDAP module.
261 * Update debian packaging to include a freeradius-config
262 package. This package may be provided as a site local
263 package to avoid fighting with the preinstalled config
267 * Use correct field for ARP setting in DHCP.
268 * Fix crash on debug condition (#454).
269 * Fix a number of minor issues caught by the clang
271 * Set WARNING messages to yellow instead of normal text.
272 * Correct debug colorise logic. Patch from Phil Mayers.
273 * Encode attributes of type "ethernet". No one uses them,
275 * Work around regex initialization issues.
276 * Fix build when linking against OpenSSL.
277 * Print IDs as positive numbers, which helps for large DHCP
279 * Fix issue with sql_ippool.
280 * sqlcounter now uses 64-bit counters, to deal with 4G overflow.
281 * Fix issues with DHCP subsystem.
282 * Don't build / install disabled modules, or their config
284 * Fix build for OSX Mavericks, which hid the header files

308 * Fix libldap debug output.
309 * Fix rlm_ldap tls functionality.
310 * Initialise OpenSSL globals early to avoid issues with the
312 * Fix typo in sqlcounter expansion code. Fixes #463
313 * Overwrite previous instances of SQL-User-Name when adding
315 * Work around bugs in both MIT and heimdal versions of
316 krb5_copy_context(), which caused segfaults in
318 * Provide meaningful error messages if Heimdal krb5 is used.
319 * Fix attribute supression in rlm_detail.
320 * Exit with error code if child fails to complete server
321 initialisation after forking. This allows init scripts to
322 correctly report whether the server started ok.
324 FreeRADIUS 3.0.0 Mon 7 Oct 2013 15:48:14 EDT urgency=medium
326 * Documentation for upgrading from 2.x is in raddb/README.rst
327 Please follow it. It will make the upgrade easier.
328 * Moved configuration entries in radiusd.conf to make more sense.
329 * Added the "integer64" and "ipv4prefix" data types.
330 * Added RADIUS over TLS (i.e. RadSec). See raddb/sites-available/tls
331 * Updated internal API to support new attributes and formats
332 * Added code to send SNMP Traps. See raddb/trigger.conf.

338 start. Descriptive errors are produced for syntax and format errors.
339 * Casting is now supported for "unlang" comparisons. See "man unlang"
340 e.g. <ipaddr>127.0.0.1 == Framed-IP-Address.
341 * Direct comparison of attribute references is now supported.
342 e.g. &Foo == &Bar. This avoids stringification of the attributes.
343 * Direct assignment of attributes is now supported.
344 e.g. Foo := &Bar. It also works for "octets" data types.
345 * Comparisons of IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes are now supported.
346 The "<" operator means "within the prefix" for comparisons.
347 * New sha1 xlat expansion (thanks to Alan Buxey)
348 * Colourised log messages when logging to stdout. Look for yellow
349 warnings and red errors. Doing this will save you a LOT of grief.
350 * If the PCRE library is available, use it (insted of the POSIX
351 functions) to process regular expressions (thanks to Phil Mayers).
352 * -xv now displays all the features the server was built with, and
353 the versions of the core libraries (libtalloc, libssl).
356 * Moved raddb/modules/ to raddb/mods-available/, and raddb/mods-enabled/,
357 following the examples of other projects.
358 * Additional files for each module are now in raddb/mods-config/.
359 See raddb/mods-config/README.rst for documentation.

367 See raddb/mods-available/mschap, "passchange" subsection.
368 * Added EAP-PWD implementation from Dan Harkins
369 * Added connection pools for modules. This unifies connection
370 management which was previously different for different modules.
371 * SQL now uses the connection pool. See mods-available/sql
372 * SQL now supports arbitrary Acct-Status-Types.
373 These changes are not compatible with 2.x.
374 * SQL now has full support for SQLite. See raddb/sql/main/sqlite/
375 * SQLite supports auto-creation of new databases on server startup for
376 bootstrapping purposes.
377 * LDAP now uses the connection pool. The LDAP module has been
378 completely re-written for performance and simplicity.
379 * LDAP now caches groups. This makes multiple group checks MUCH
381 * Removed all limitations on 253 octet attributes. RFC 6929 allows
382 for attributes up to 4K in length.
383 * New rlm_idn module providing an expansion for performing IDNA encoding
384 of internationalized domain names. Thanks to 'skids'.
385 * New rlm_yubikey module to validate yubikey OTP tokens.
386 See raddb/modules/yubikey
389 * All known bug fixes from 2.2.x are included.
390 * Removed "addport" functionality.
391 * Removed many unused or duplicate modules. See raddb/README.rst.
393 Internal / API changes:
394 * All traces of the old build system have been removed.
395 The new build system is faster and simpler.
396 * clang is fully supported.
397 * We now use "talloc" for memory management. A number of new
398 features required this change. Thanks to the Samba people!
399 * Many internal APIs have been updated to use talloc.
400 * New API for iterating over VALUE_PAIRs. This is in preparation
401 for attributes, in version 3.1.
402 * No new code should directly modify any field of a VALUE_PAIR.
403 * VALUE_PAIRs contain pointers to DICT_ATTR instead of containing
404 attribute and vendor fields. This will allow nested attributes.
405 * Some protocol specific code has been moved out into proto_* modules.
406 More will come in subsequent versions. See proto_dhcp and proto_vmps.
407 * Standardised internal logging macros. radlog() should not be used.
408 See src/include/log.h
409 * Use OpenSSL hashing functions when available.
410 * The server now builds with no warnings on most platforms.
411 * New RADIUS encoder/decoder, to support new formats.
412 * Added RFC 6929 "extended attributes", via the new encoder/decoder.
413 * Added full WiMAX support, via the new encoder/decoder. The old
414 code could not handle some unusual corner cases.
