Tuesday January 9, 2001. guy@alum.mit.edu. 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.

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.

- Fix endian problem with DLT_NULL devices. From FreeBSD via Bill
Fenner (fenner@parc.xerox.com)

bug report by barnett@grymoire.crd.ge.com (Bruce Barnett). Also added
options to disable gcc and to force a particular packet capture type.
- Added support for Fore ATM interfaces (qaa and fa) under IRIX. Thanks
to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu)
- Change Linux PPP and SLIP to use DLT_RAW since the kernel does not
supply any "link layer" data.
- Change Linux to use SIOCGIFHWADDR ioctl to determine link layer type.
Thanks to Thomas Sailer (sailer@ife.ee.ethz.ch)
- Change IRIX PPP to use DLT_RAW since the kernel does not supply any
"link layer" data.

timeouts.
- Changed ISLOOPBACK() macro when IFF_LOOPBACK isn't available to check
for "lo" followed by an eos or digit (newer versions of Linux
apparently call the loopback "lo" instead of "lo0").
- Fixed Linux networking include files to use ints instead of longs to
avoid problems with 64 bit longs on the alpha. Thanks to Cristian
Gafton (gafton@redhat.com)

comparison operators, while the code generator and optimizer assumed
signed semantics in several places. Thanks to Charlie Slater
