Summary for 0.6 release + + New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later + kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet + filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any" + device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous + mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes + (handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better, + doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.). + + Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for + an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name. + + libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values + in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_ + values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between + different OSes. + + Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g. + the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read. + + Updated autoconf stock files. + + Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI + protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed + packets). + + "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions + to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file. + + Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs. + + Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout. + Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped. + + Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced + with snprintf. + + Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail + erroneously after one compile failed. + + Assorted other bug fixes. + + README.aix and README.linux files added to describe + platform-specific issues. + + "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available. + +v0.5 Sat Jun 10 11:09:15 PDT 2000 + +itojun@iijlab.net +- Brought in KAME IPv6/IPsec bpf compiler. +- Fixes for NetBSD. +- Support added for OpenBSD DLT_LOOP and BSD/OS DLT_C_HDLC (Cisco HDLC), + and changes to work around different BSDs having different DLT_ types + with the same numeric value. + +Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se> +- Building outside the source code tree fixed. +- Changed to write out time stamps with 32-bit seconds and microseconds + fields, regardless of whether those fields are 32 bits or 64 bits in + the OS's native "struct timeval". +- Changed "pcap_lookupdev()" to dynamically grow the buffer into which + the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the + entire list. + +Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com> +- Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter + expression into a BPF program without having an open live capture or + capture file. + +v0.4 Sat Jul 25 12:40:09 PDT 1998 + +- Fix endian problem with DLT_NULL devices.
