48 pcap_datalink() when reading pcap-ng files
49 Add support for "wlan ra" and "wlan ta", to check the RA and TA
50 of WLAN frames that have them
51 Don't crash if "wlan addr{1,2,3,4}" are used without 802.11
52 headers
53 Do filtering on USB and Bluetooth capturing
54 On FreeBSD/SPARC64, use -fPIC - it's apparently necessary
55 Check for valid port numbers (fit in a 16-bit unsigned field) in
56 "port" filters
57 Reject attempts to put savefiles into non-blocking mode

90 Fix compiler warnings and builds on some platforms
91 Update config.guess and config.sub
92 Support monitor mode on mac80211 devices on Linux
93 Fix USB memory-mapped capturing on Linux; it requires a new DLT_
94 value
95 On Linux, scan /sys/class/net for devices if we have it; scan
96 it, or /proc/net/dev if we don't have /sys/class/net, even if
97 we have getifaddrs(), as it'll find interfaces with no
98 addresses
99 Add limited support for reading pcap-ng files
100 Fix BPF driver-loading error handling on AIX
101 Support getting the full-length interface description on FreeBSD
102 In the lexical analyzer, free up any addrinfo structure we got back

105 Hyphenate "link-layer" everywhere
106 Add /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon to the list of usbmon locations
107 In pcap_read_linux_mmap(), if there are no frames available, call
108 poll() even if we're in non-blocking mode, so we pick up
109 errors, and check for the errors in question.
110 Note that poll() works on BPF devices is Snow Leopard
111 If an ENXIO or ENETDOWN is received, it may mean the device has
112 gone away. Deal with it.
113 For BPF, raise the default capture buffer size to from 32k to 512k
114 Support ps_ifdrop on Linux
115 Added a bunch of #ifdef directives to make wpcap.dll (WinPcap) compile

170 Return PCAP_ERROR_PERM_DENIED if we don't have permission to open a device, so
171 applications can tell the user they need to go play with permissions

318Tuesday January 9, 2001. guy@alum.mit.edu. Summary for 0.6 release
319
320 New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
321 kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
322 filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
323 device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous
324 mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
325 (handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
326 doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).
327
328 Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
329 an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.
330
331 libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values
332 in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_
333 values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between
334 different OSes.
335
336 Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g.
337 the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read.
338
339 Updated autoconf stock files.
340
341 Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
342 protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
343 packets).
344
345 "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
346 to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.
347
348 Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.
349
350 Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout.
351 Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.
352
353 Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
354 with snprintf.
355
356 Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
357 erroneously after one compile failed.
358
359 Assorted other bug fixes.
360
361 README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
362 platform-specific issues.
363
364 "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.
365
366v0.5 Sat Jun 10 11:09:15 PDT 2000
367
368itojun@iijlab.net
369- Brought in KAME IPv6/IPsec bpf compiler.
370- Fixes for NetBSD.
371- Support added for OpenBSD DLT_LOOP and BSD/OS DLT_C_HDLC (Cisco HDLC),
372 and changes to work around different BSDs having different DLT_ types
373 with the same numeric value.
374
375Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>
376- Building outside the source code tree fixed.
377- Changed to write out time stamps with 32-bit seconds and microseconds
378 fields, regardless of whether those fields are 32 bits or 64 bits in
379 the OS's native "struct timeval".
380- Changed "pcap_lookupdev()" to dynamically grow the buffer into which
381 the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the
382 entire list.
383
384Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com>
385- Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter
386 expression into a BPF program without having an open live capture or
387 capture file.
388
389v0.4 Sat Jul 25 12:40:09 PDT 1998

391- Fix endian problem with DLT_NULL devices. From FreeBSD via Bill
392 Fenner (fenner@parc.xerox.com)
393
394- Fix alignment problem with FDDI under DLPI. This was causing core
395 dumps under Solaris.
396
397- Added configure options to disable flex and bison. Resulted from a
398 bug report by barnett@grymoire.crd.ge.com (Bruce Barnett). Also added
399 options to disable gcc and to force a particular packet capture type.
400
401- Added support for Fore ATM interfaces (qaa and fa) under IRIX. Thanks
402 to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu)
403
404- Change Linux PPP and SLIP to use DLT_RAW since the kernel does not
405 supply any "link layer" data.
406
407- Change Linux to use SIOCGIFHWADDR ioctl to determine link layer type.
408 Thanks to Thomas Sailer (sailer@ife.ee.ethz.ch)
409
410- Change IRIX PPP to use DLT_RAW since the kernel does not supply any
411 "link layer" data.
412
413- Modified to support the new BSD/OS 2.1 PPP and SLIP link layer header
414 formats.
415
416- Added some new SGI snoop interface types. Thanks to Steve Alexander
417 (sca@refugee.engr.sgi.com)
418
419- Fixes for HP-UX 10.20 (which is similar to HP-UX 9). Thanks to
420 Richard Allen (ra@hp.is) and Steinar Haug (sthaug@nethelp.no)
421
422- Fddi supports broadcast as reported by Jeff Macdonald
423 (jeff@iacnet.com). Also correct ieee802 and arcnet.
424
425- Determine Linux pcap buffer size at run time or else it might not be
426 big enough for some interface types (e.g. FDDI). Thanks to Jes
427 Sorensen (Jes.Sorensen@cern.ch)
428
429- Fix some linux alignment problems.
430
431- Document promisc argument to pcap_open_live(). Reported by Ian Marsh

433
434- Support Metricom radio packets under Linux. Thanks to Kevin Lai
435 (laik@gunpowder.stanford.edu)
436
437- Bind to interface name under Linux to avoid packets from multiple
438 interfaces on multi-homed hosts. Thanks to Kevin Lai
439 (laik@gunpowder.stanford.edu)
440
441- Change L_SET to SEEK_SET for HP-UX. Thanks to Roland Roberts
442 (rroberts@muller.com)

454
455- Fixed bug in pcap_dispatch() that kept it from returning on packet
456 timeouts.
457
458- Changed ISLOOPBACK() macro when IFF_LOOPBACK isn't available to check
459 for "lo" followed by an eos or digit (newer versions of Linux
460 apparently call the loopback "lo" instead of "lo0").
461
462- Fixed Linux networking include files to use ints instead of longs to
463 avoid problems with 64 bit longs on the alpha. Thanks to Cristian
464 Gafton (gafton@redhat.com)
465

605
606- Fix two bugs related to the Solaris pre-5.3.2 bufmod bug; handle
607 savefiles that have more than snapshot bytes of data in them (so we
608 can read old savefiles) and avoid writing such files.
609
610- Added checkioctl which is used with gcc to check that the
611 "fixincludes" script has been run.
612

70 Don't crash if "wlan addr{1,2,3,4}" are used without 802.11
71 headers
72 Do filtering on USB and Bluetooth capturing

128 errors, and check for the errors in question.
129 Note that poll() works on BPF devices is Snow Leopard
130 If an ENXIO or ENETDOWN is received, it may mean the device has
131 gone away. Deal with it.
132 For BPF, raise the default capture buffer size to from 32k to 512k

185 Better support for dealing with VLAN tagging/stripping on Linux
186 Fix dynamic library support on OSX
187 Return PCAP_ERROR_IFACE_NOT_UP if the interface isn't 'UP', so applications
188 can print better diagnostic information
189 Return PCAP_ERROR_PERM_DENIED if we don't have permission to open a device, so
190 applications can tell the user they need to go play with permissions
191 On Linux, ignore ENETDOWN so we can continue to capture packets if the

345 doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).
346
347 Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
348 an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.
349
350 libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values
351 in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_
352 values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between
353 different OSes.
354
355 Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g.
356 the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read.
357
358 Updated autoconf stock files.
359
360 Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
361 protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
362 packets).
363
364 "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
365 to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.
366
367 Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.
368
369 Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout.
370 Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.
371
372 Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
373 with snprintf.
374
375 Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
376 erroneously after one compile failed.
377
378 Assorted other bug fixes.
379
380 README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
381 platform-specific issues.
382
383 "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.
384

386
387itojun@iijlab.net
388- Brought in KAME IPv6/IPsec bpf compiler.
389- Fixes for NetBSD.
390- Support added for OpenBSD DLT_LOOP and BSD/OS DLT_C_HDLC (Cisco HDLC),
391 and changes to work around different BSDs having different DLT_ types
392 with the same numeric value.
393
394Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>
395- Building outside the source code tree fixed.
396- Changed to write out time stamps with 32-bit seconds and microseconds
397 fields, regardless of whether those fields are 32 bits or 64 bits in
398 the OS's native "struct timeval".
399- Changed "pcap_lookupdev()" to dynamically grow the buffer into which
400 the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the
401 entire list.
402
403Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com>
404- Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter
405 expression into a BPF program without having an open live capture or
406 capture file.
407

421 to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu)
422
423- Change Linux PPP and SLIP to use DLT_RAW since the kernel does not
424 supply any "link layer" data.

479 apparently call the loopback "lo" instead of "lo0").
480
481- Fixed Linux networking include files to use ints instead of longs to
482 avoid problems with 64 bit longs on the alpha. Thanks to Cristian

624
625- Fix two bugs related to the Solaris pre-5.3.2 bufmod bug; handle
626 savefiles that have more than snapshot bytes of data in them (so we
627 can read old savefiles) and avoid writing such files.
628
629- Added checkioctl which is used with gcc to check that the
630 "fixincludes" script has been run.
631
