71 Tuesday January 9, 2001. guy@alum.mit.edu. Summary for 0.6 release
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.).
81 Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
82 an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.
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
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.
92 Updated autoconf stock files.
94 Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
95 protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
98 "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
99 to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.
101 Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.
103 Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout.
104 Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.
106 Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
109 Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
110 erroneously after one compile failed.
112 Assorted other bug fixes.
114 README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
115 platform-specific issues.
117 "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.

128 Assar 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
137 Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com>
138 - Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter

154 - Added support for Fore ATM interfaces (qaa and fa) under IRIX. Thanks
155 to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu)
157 - Change Linux PPP and SLIP to use DLT_RAW since the kernel does not

211 - Changed ISLOOPBACK() macro when IFF_LOOPBACK isn't available to check

363 - Added checkioctl which is used with gcc to check that the
364 "fixincludes" script has been run.
366 v0.0.3 Tue Oct 18 18:13:46 PDT 1994
