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
192 interface goes down and comes back up again.

339 New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
340 kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
341 filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
342 device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous
343 mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
344 (handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
345 doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).
347 Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
348 an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.
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
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.
358 Updated autoconf stock files.
360 Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
361 protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
364 "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
365 to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.
367 Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.
369 Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout.
370 Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.
372 Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
375 Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
376 erroneously after one compile failed.
378 Assorted other bug fixes.
380 README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
381 platform-specific issues.
383 "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.

571 signed semantics in several places. Thanks to Charlie Slater
572 (cslater@imatek.com) for pointing this out.
574 - Removed FDDI ifdef's, they aren't really needed. Resulted from report
575 by Gary Veum (veum@boa.gsfc.nasa.gov).
577 - Add pcap-null.c which allows offline use of libpcap on systems that
578 don't support live package capture. This feature resulting from a
579 request from Jan van Oorschot (j.p.m.voorschot@et.tudelft.nl).
581 - Make bpf_compile() reentrant. Fix thanks to Pascal Hennequin
582 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).
584 - Port to GNU autoconf.
586 - Fix pcap-dlpi.c to work with isdn. Resulted from report by Flemming
587 Johansen (fsj@csd.cri.dk).
589 - Handle multi-digit interface unit numbers (aka ppa's) under dlpi.
590 Resulted from report by Daniel Ehrlich (ehrlich@cse.psu.edu).
592 - Fix pcap-dlpi.c to work in non-promiscuous mode. Resulted from report
593 by Jeff Murphy (jcmurphy@acsu.buffalo.edu).
595 - Add support for "long jumps". Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
598 - Fix minor problems when compiling with BDEBUG as noticed by Scott
599 Bertilson (scott@unet.umn.edu).
601 - Declare sys_errlist "const char *const" to avoid problems under
602 FreeBSD. Resulted from report by jher@eden.com.
604 v0.0.6 Fri Apr 28 04:07:13 PDT 1995
606 - Add missing variable declaration missing from 0.0.6
608 v0.0.5 Fri Apr 28 00:22:21 PDT 1995
610 - Workaround for problems when pcap_read() returns 0 due to the timeout
613 v0.0.4 Thu Apr 20 20:41:48 PDT 1995
615 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
617 - Fixed a bug in pcap_next(); if pcap_dispatch() returns 0, pcap_next()
618 should also return 0. Thanks to Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
620 - Fixed configure to test for snoop before dlpi to avoid problems under
621 IRIX 5. Thanks to J. Eric Townsend (jet@abulafia.genmagic.com).
623 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
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.
629 - Added checkioctl which is used with gcc to check that the
630 "fixincludes" script has been run.
632 v0.0.3 Tue Oct 18 18:13:46 PDT 1994
634 - Fixed configure to test for snoop before dlpi to avoid problems under
635 IRIX 5. Thanks to J. Eric Townsend (jet@abulafia.genmagic.com).
637 v0.0.2 Wed Oct 12 20:56:37 PDT 1994
639 - Implement timeout in the dlpi pcap_open_live(). Thanks to Richard
642 - Determine pcap link type from dlpi media type. Resulted from report
643 by Mahesh Jethanandani (mahesh@npix.com).
645 v0.0.1 Fri Jun 24 14:50:57 PDT 1994
647 - Fixed bug in nit_setflags() in pcap-snit.c. The streams ioctl timeout
648 wasn't being initialized sometimes resulting in an "NIOCSFLAGS:
649 Invalid argument" error under OSF/1. Reported by Matt Day
650 (mday@artisoft.com) and Danny Mitzel (dmitzel@whitney.hitc.com).

661 - Fix bug where '|' was defined as BPF_AND instead of BPF_OR, reported
662 by Elan Amir (elan@leeb.cs.berkeley.edu).
664 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported thanks to
667 - Add hack for version 2.3 savefiles which don't have caplen and len
668 swapped thanks to Vern Paxson.
