Summary for 0.6 release 5256889Sfenner 5375107Sfenner New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later 5475107Sfenner kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet 5575107Sfenner filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any" 5675107Sfenner device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous 5775107Sfenner mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes 5875107Sfenner (handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better, 5975107Sfenner doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.). 6056889Sfenner 6175107Sfenner Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for 6275107Sfenner an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name. 6375107Sfenner 6475107Sfenner libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values 6575107Sfenner in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_ 6675107Sfenner values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between 6775107Sfenner different OSes. 6875107Sfenner 6975107Sfenner Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g. 7075107Sfenner the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read. 7175107Sfenner 7275107Sfenner Updated autoconf stock files. 7375107Sfenner 7475107Sfenner Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI 7575107Sfenner protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed 7675107Sfenner packets). 7775107Sfenner 7875107Sfenner "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions 7975107Sfenner to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file. 8075107Sfenner 8175107Sfenner Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs. 8275107Sfenner 8375107Sfenner Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout. 8475107Sfenner Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped. 8575107Sfenner 8675107Sfenner Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced 8775107Sfenner with snprintf. 8875107Sfenner 8975107Sfenner Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail 9075107Sfenner erroneously after one compile failed. 9175107Sfenner 9275107Sfenner Assorted other bug fixes. 9375107Sfenner 9475107Sfenner README.aix and README.linux files added to describe 9575107Sfenner platform-specific issues. 9675107Sfenner 9775107Sfenner "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available. 9875107Sfenner 9975107Sfennerv0.5 Sat Jun 10 11:09:15 PDT 2000 10075107Sfenner 10175107Sfenneritojun@iijlab.net 10275107Sfenner- Brought in KAME IPv6/IPsec bpf compiler. 10375107Sfenner- Fixes for NetBSD. 10475107Sfenner- Support added for OpenBSD DLT_LOOP and BSD/OS DLT_C_HDLC (Cisco HDLC), 10575107Sfenner and changes to work around different BSDs having different DLT_ types 10675107Sfenner with the same numeric value. 10775107Sfenner 10875107SfennerAssar Westerlund <assar@sics.se> 10975107Sfenner- Building outside the source code tree fixed. 11075107Sfenner- Changed to write out time stamps with 32-bit seconds and microseconds 11175107Sfenner fields, regardless of whether those fields are 32 bits or 64 bits in 11275107Sfenner the OS's native "struct timeval". 11375107Sfenner- Changed "pcap_lookupdev()" to dynamically grow the buffer into which 11475107Sfenner the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the 11575107Sfenner entire list. 11675107Sfenner 11775107SfennerGreg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com> 11875107Sfenner- Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter 11975107Sfenner expression into a BPF program without having an open live capture or 12075107Sfenner capture file. 12175107Sfenner 12239291Sfennerv0.4 Sat Jul 25 12:40:09 PDT 1998 12339291Sfenner 12439291Sfenner- Fix endian problem with DLT_NULL devices.
