717 Return PCAP_ERROR_PERM_DENIED if we don't have permission to open a device, so
718 applications can tell the user they need to go play with permissions
719 On Linux, ignore ENETDOWN so we can continue to capture packets if the
720 interface goes down and comes back up again.

867 New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
868 kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
869 filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
870 device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous
871 mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
872 (handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
873 doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).
875 Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
876 an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.
878 libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values
879 in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_
880 values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between
883 Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g.
884 the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read.
886 Updated autoconf stock files.
888 Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
889 protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
892 "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
893 to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.
895 Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.
897 Removed dependency on native headers for packet layout.
898 Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.
900 Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
903 Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
904 erroneously after one compile failed.
906 Assorted other bug fixes.
908 README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
909 platform-specific issues.
911 "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.

928 the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the

1095 v0.1 Fri Apr 28 18:11:03 PDT 1995
1097 - Fixed compiler and optimizer bugs. The BPF filter engine uses unsigned

1099 signed semantics in several places. Thanks to Charlie Slater
1100 (cslater@imatek.com) for pointing this out.
1102 - Removed FDDI ifdef's, they aren't really needed. Resulted from report
1103 by Gary Veum (veum@boa.gsfc.nasa.gov).
1105 - Add pcap-null.c which allows offline use of libpcap on systems that
1106 don't support live package capture. This feature resulting from a
1107 request from Jan van Oorschot (j.p.m.voorschot@et.tudelft.nl).
1109 - Make bpf_compile() reentrant. Fix thanks to Pascal Hennequin
1110 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).

1126 - Fix minor problems when compiling with BDEBUG as noticed by Scott
1127 Bertilson (scott@unet.umn.edu).
1129 - Declare sys_errlist "const char *const" to avoid problems under
1130 FreeBSD. Resulted from report by jher@eden.com.

1136 v0.0.5 Fri Apr 28 00:22:21 PDT 1995
1138 - Workaround for problems when pcap_read() returns 0 due to the timeout
1141 v0.0.4 Thu Apr 20 20:41:48 PDT 1995
1143 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
1145 - Fixed a bug in pcap_next(); if pcap_dispatch() returns 0, pcap_next()
1146 should also return 0. Thanks to Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
1148 - Fixed configure to test for snoop before dlpi to avoid problems under
1149 IRIX 5. Thanks to J. Eric Townsend (jet@abulafia.genmagic.com).
1151 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
1153 - Fix two bugs related to the Solaris pre-5.3.2 bufmod bug; handle
1154 savefiles that have more than snapshot bytes of data in them (so we
1155 can read old savefiles) and avoid writing such files.
1157 - Added checkioctl which is used with gcc to check that the
1158 "fixincludes" script has been run.
1160 v0.0.3 Tue Oct 18 18:13:46 PDT 1994
1162 - Fixed configure to test for snoop before dlpi to avoid problems under
1163 IRIX 5. Thanks to J. Eric Townsend (jet@abulafia.genmagic.com).
1165 v0.0.2 Wed Oct 12 20:56:37 PDT 1994
1167 - Implement timeout in the dlpi pcap_open_live(). Thanks to Richard

1176 wasn't being initialized sometimes resulting in an "NIOCSFLAGS:
1177 Invalid argument" error under OSF/1. Reported by Matt Day
1178 (mday@artisoft.com) and Danny Mitzel (dmitzel@whitney.hitc.com).
