71Tuesday January 9, 2001. guy@alum.mit.edu. Summary for 0.6 release
72
73 New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
74 kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
75 filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
76 device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous
77 mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
78 (handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
79 doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).
80
81 Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
82 an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.
83
84 libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values
85 in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_
86 values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between
87 different OSes.
88
89 Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g.
90 the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read.
91
92 Updated autoconf stock files.
93
94 Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
95 protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
96 packets).
97
98 "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
99 to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.
100
101 Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.
102
103 Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout.
104 Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.
105
106 Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
107 with snprintf.
108
109 Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
110 erroneously after one compile failed.
111
112 Assorted other bug fixes.
113
114 README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
115 platform-specific issues.
116
117 "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.
118

121itojun@iijlab.net
122- Brought in KAME IPv6/IPsec bpf compiler.
123- Fixes for NetBSD.
124- Support added for OpenBSD DLT_LOOP and BSD/OS DLT_C_HDLC (Cisco HDLC),
125 and changes to work around different BSDs having different DLT_ types
126 with the same numeric value.
127
128Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>
129- Building outside the source code tree fixed.
130- Changed to write out time stamps with 32-bit seconds and microseconds
131 fields, regardless of whether those fields are 32 bits or 64 bits in
132 the OS's native "struct timeval".
133- Changed "pcap_lookupdev()" to dynamically grow the buffer into which
134 the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the
135 entire list.
136
137Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com>
138- Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter
139 expression into a BPF program without having an open live capture or
140 capture file.
141
142v0.4 Sat Jul 25 12:40:09 PDT 1998

155 to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu)
156
157- Change Linux PPP and SLIP to use DLT_RAW since the kernel does not
158 supply any "link layer" data.

161 Thanks to Thomas Sailer (sailer@ife.ee.ethz.ch)
162
163- Change IRIX PPP to use DLT_RAW since the kernel does not supply any
164 "link layer" data.

209 timeouts.

213 apparently call the loopback "lo" instead of "lo0").
214
215- Fixed Linux networking include files to use ints instead of longs to
216 avoid problems with 64 bit longs on the alpha. Thanks to Cristian

358
359- Fix two bugs related to the Solaris pre-5.3.2 bufmod bug; handle
360 savefiles that have more than snapshot bytes of data in them (so we
361 can read old savefiles) and avoid writing such files.
362
363- Added checkioctl which is used with gcc to check that the
364 "fixincludes" script has been run.
365
366v0.0.3 Tue Oct 18 18:13:46 PDT 1994
367

212Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>
213- Building outside the source code tree fixed.
214- Changed to write out time stamps with 32-bit seconds and microseconds
215 fields, regardless of whether those fields are 32 bits or 64 bits in
216 the OS's native "struct timeval".
217- Changed "pcap_lookupdev()" to dynamically grow the buffer into which
218 the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the
219 entire list.
220
221Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com>
222- Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter
223 expression into a BPF program without having an open live capture or
224 capture file.

239 to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu)
240
241- Change Linux PPP and SLIP to use DLT_RAW since the kernel does not
242 supply any "link layer" data.

245 Thanks to Thomas Sailer (sailer@ife.ee.ethz.ch)

298
299- Fixed Linux networking include files to use ints instead of longs to
300 avoid problems with 64 bit longs on the alpha. Thanks to Cristian

391
392- Removed FDDI ifdef's, they aren't really needed. Resulted from report
393 by Gary Veum (veum@boa.gsfc.nasa.gov).

442
443- Fix two bugs related to the Solaris pre-5.3.2 bufmod bug; handle
444 savefiles that have more than snapshot bytes of data in them (so we
445 can read old savefiles) and avoid writing such files.
446
447- Added checkioctl which is used with gcc to check that the
448 "fixincludes" script has been run.
449
450v0.0.3 Tue Oct 18 18:13:46 PDT 1994
