ChangeLog

This document describes notable changes. For details, see the source code repository history.

Not yet released

New features

  • Added support for OVH DynHost.
  • Added support for ClouDNS.
  • Added support for dinahosting.
  • Added support for Gandi LiveDNS.
  • Added a build system to make it easier for distributions to package ddclient: 
    ./autogen && ./configure && make && make VERBOSE=1 check && make install
  • The freedns protocol (for https://freedns.afraid.org) now supports IPv6 addresses.
  • New ssl_ca_dir and ssl_ca_file options to specify the location of CA certificates.
  • New built-in IP discovery service shorthands:
  • New built-in shorthands for obtaining the IP address from the following devices (thanks to Geoff Simmons):
    • alcatel-530: Alcatel/Thomson SpeedTouch 530
    • siemens-ss4200: Siemens SpeedStream 4200
    • thomson-st536v6: Thomson SpeedTouch 536v6
    • thomson-tg782: Thomson/Technicolor TG782
  • Added option -curl to access network with system Curl command instead of the Perl built-in IO::Socket classes.
  • Added option -{no}web-ssl-validate and -{no}fw-ssl-validateto provide option to disable SSL certificate validation. Note that these only apply for network access when obtaining an IP address with use=web or use=fw (any firewall). Network access to Dynamic DNS servers to set or retrieve IP address will always require certificate validation.

Bug fixes

  • If multiple hosts are defined and one fails, ddclient will no longer skip the remaining hosts.
  • Minor freedns protocol fixes. In particular, you can now update an address that differs from the system's own.
  • Fixed a regression introduced in v3.9.0 that caused use=ip,ip=<ipv4-address> to fail.
  • "true" is now accepted as a boolean value.
  • The ssl option now applies to the web URL.

Compatibility and dependency changes

  • Perl v5.10.1 or later is now required.
  • Removed dependency on Data::Validate::IP.
  • When use=if, iproute2's ip command is now attempted before falling back to ifconfig (it used to be the other way around). If you set if-skip, please check that your configuration still works as expected.
  • Removed the concont protocol. If you still use this protocol, please file a bug report and we will restore it.
  • The force option no longer prevents daemonization.
  • If installed as ddclientd (or any other name ending in d), the default value for the daemon option is now 5 minutes instead of the previous 1 minute.
  • The pid option is now ignored when ddclient is not daemonized.
  • ddclient now gracefully exits when interrupted by Ctrl-C.
  • The way ddclient chooses the default for the use option has changed. Rather than rely on the default, users should explicitly set the use option.
  • The fw-banlocal option is deprecated and no longer does anything.
  • The if-skip option is deprecated and no longer does anything.
  • The default server for the dslreports1 protocol changed from members.dyndns.org to www.dslreports.com.
  • Removed support for defunct dtdns service
  • Removed support for defunct Hammernode service

2020-01-08 v3.9.1

  • added support for Yandex.Mail for Domain DNS service
  • added support for NearlyFreeSpeech.net

  • added systemd instructions
  • added support for dondominio.com

  • updated fritzbox instructions

  • fixed support for Yandex

2018-08-09 v3.9.0

  • new dependency: Data::Validate::IP
  • added IPv6 support for cloudfare
  • added suppport for freemyip
  • added configurable TTL to Cloudflare
  • added support for woima.fi dyndns service
  • added support for google domain

Detailed list of changes

  • [r208] wimpunk: ddclient: cosmetic, remove stray space indent

  • [r207] wimpunk: ddclient: Support IPv6 for CloudFlare

  • [r206] wimpunk: ddclient: name cheap support https now

    From name cheap it seems http is supported now. Since the password was send on plaintext, https should be used

  • [r205] wimpunk: ddclient: Use JSON::PP instead of the (deprecated) JSON::Any

  • [r204] wimpunk: ddclient: Follow expected behavior

    Align ddclient behavior and documentation with namecheap's - https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/583/11/how-do-i-configure-ddclient

  • [r203] wimpunk: ddclient: Specify port number properly to 'nsupdate' (#58)

    If a port number is included in the 'server' configuration item, ddclient allows a port number to be specified by appending a colon and the port number to the server's name or IPv4 address. However, nsupdate does not support this syntax, it requires the port number to be separated from the server name/address by whitespace.

  • [r202] wimpunk: README.md, README.ssl, ddclient, sample-etc_ddclient.conf, sample-etc_rc.d_init.d_ddclient.alpine: Adding support for freemyip.com

  • [r194] wimpunk: sample-etc_ddclient.conf: Merge pull request #24 from gkranis/master

    Adding duckdns example

    Duckdns example added to sample-etc_ddclient.conf

  • [r192] wimpunk: ddclient: odd-fw-patch-squashed

  • [r191] wimpunk: README.md, ddclient: Added support for woima.fi dyndns service

    Preparing a complete move to git. The Id tag isn't useful so removing from the files seemed to be the best solotion

    As suggested in pull 7 on github by @abelbeck and @Bugsbane it is better to make the use of JSON related to the use of cloudflare.

  • [r166] wimpunk: ddclient: Fixing bug #72: Account info revealed during noip update

    Patch provided by Stephen Couchman through github
