1342 - Added a configure option to disable gcc.
1343
1344 - Added a "raw" packet printer.

1347 Hawkinson.
1348
1349 - Rework signal setup to accommodate Linux.

1371 autoconf version is broken (it only puts the library name in the
1372 cache variable name). Thanks to John Hawkinson.
1373
1374 - Add a local autoconf macro to check for types; the autoconf version
1375 is broken (it uses grep instead of actually compiling a code fragment).

1378 formats.
1379
1380 - Extend OSF ip header workaround to versions 1 and 2.

1424
1425 - Fix rip printer to not print one more route than is actually in the
1426 packet. Thanks to Jean-Luc Richier (Jean-Luc.Richier@imag.fr) and
1427 Bill Fenner (fenner@parc.xerox.com)
1428
1429 - Use autoconf endian detection since BYTE_ORDER isn't defined on all systems.
1430
1431 - Fix dvmrp printer truncation checks and add a dvmrp probe printer.
1432 Thanks to Danny J. Mitzel (mitzel@ipsilon.com)
1433
1434 - Rewrite ospf printer to improve truncation checks.
1435
1436 - Don't parse tcp options past the EOL. As noted by David Sacerdote
1437 (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
1438 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
1439 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
1440 first block N times).
1441
1442 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
1443 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.
1444
1445 v3.2.1 Sun Jul 14 03:02:26 PDT 1996

1462 (borsenkow.msk@sni.de)
1463
1464 - Use autoconf's idea of the top level directory in install targets.
1465 Thanks to John Hawkinson.
1466
1467 - Avoid infinite loop in tcp options printing code. Thanks to Jeffrey
1468 Mogul (mogul@pa.dec.com)
1469
1470 - Avoid using -lsocket in IRIX 5.2 and earlier since it breaks snoop.
1471 Thanks to John Hawkinson.
1472
1473 - Added some more packet truncation checks.
1474
1475 - On systems that have it, use sigset() instead of signal() since

1505
1506 - Use $CC when checking gcc version. Thanks to Carl Lindberg
1507 (carl_lindberg@blacksmith.com)
1508
1509 - Fixes for AIX (although this system is not yet supported). Thanks to
1510 John Hawkinson.
1511
1512 - Fix bugs in the autoconf misaligned accesses code fragment.
1513
1514 - Include sys/param.h to get BYTE_ORDER in a few places. Thanks to
1515 Pavlin Ivanov Radoslavov (pavlin@cs.titech.ac.jp)

1528 types.
1529
1530 - Added RIP V2 support. Thanks to Jeffrey Honig (jch@bsdi.com)
1531

1534
1535 - Use autoconf to detect architectures that can't handle misaligned
1536 accesses.
1537
1538 v3.1 Thu Jun 13 20:59:32 PDT 1996
1539
1540 - Changed u_int32/int32 to u_int32_t/int32_t to be consistent with bsd
1541 and bind (as suggested by Charles Hannum).
1542
1543 - Port to GNU autoconf.
1544
1545 - Add support for printing DVMRP and PIM traffic thanks to
1546 Havard Eidnes (Havard.Eidnes@runit.sintef.no).

1559
1560 - Document -dd and -ddd. Resulted from a bug report from Charlie Slater
1561 (cslater@imatek.com).
1562
1563 - Check return status from malloc/calloc/etc.
1564
1565 - Check return status from pcap_loop() so we can print an error and
1566 exit with a bad status if there were problems.
1567
1568 - Bail if ip option length is <= 0. Resulted from a bug report from
1569 Darren Reed (darrenr@vitruvius.arbld.unimelb.edu.au).
1570
1571 - Print out a little more information for sun rpc packets.
1572
1573 - Add support for Kerberos 4 thanks to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu).
1574
1575 - Fixed the Fix EXTRACT_SHORT() and EXTRACT_LONG() macros (which were

1597 - Print out hostnames if possible in egp printer. Thanks to Jeffrey
1598 Honig (jhc@bsdi.com)
1599
1600
1601 v3.1a1 Wed May 3 19:21:11 PDT 1995
1602
1603 - Include time.h when SVR4 is defined to avoid problems under Solaris
1604 2.3.
1605
1606 - Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
1607 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
1608 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
1609
1610 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning
1611 that the selected value was not used. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin
1612 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).
1613
1614 - Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.
1615

1617
1618 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
1619
1620 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
1621 "released" one in late 1995.
1622
1623 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
1624
1625 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
1626
1627 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
1628 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
1629 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
1630
1631 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
1632 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1633
1634 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
1635 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).
1636
1637 - Fixed printout of connection id for uncompressed tcp slip packets.
1638 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
1639
1640 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
1641
1642 - Add ETHERTYPE_TRAIL define which is missing from irix5.
1643
1644 v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
1645
1646 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
1647
1648 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
1649
1650 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
1651 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1652
1653 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
1654 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
1655 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
1656 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
1657 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
1658 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
1659 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
1660
1661 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
1662 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
1663
1664 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
1665 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
1666 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
1667
1668 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
1669 (brad@fcr.com).
1670
1671 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
1672 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
1673
1674 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
1675 packaged separately).
1676
1677 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
1678
1679 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
1680 what we expect.
1681
1682 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
1683 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
1684
1685 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
1686 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
1687
1688 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
1689 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
1690
1691 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
1692 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
1693 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
1694 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
1695 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
1696 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
1697 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
1698 with "not ip proto 4".)
1699
1700 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
1701 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1702
1703 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1704
1705 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
1706 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
1707 Add && and || operators
1708
1709 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
1710
1711 - Fix bug with -c flag.
1712
1713 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
1714
1715 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
1716 truncate checks.
1717
1718 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
1719 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
1720
1721 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
1722
1723 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
1724 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
1725 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
1726
1727 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
1728 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
1729 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
1730
1731 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
1732 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
1733
1734 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
1735
1736 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
1737
1738 - Internal release (never publicly exported).
1739
1740 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
1741
1742 - Various byte ordering fixes.
1743
1744 - Add truncation checks.
1745
1746 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
1747
1748 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
1749
1750 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
1751
1752 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
1753 for broadcast nets.
1754
1755 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
1756 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
1757
1758 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
1759
1760 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
1761
1762 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
1763
1764 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
1765 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
1766
1767 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
1768
1769 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
1770
1771 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
1772
1773 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
1774
1775 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
1776 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
1777
1778 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
1779 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
1780 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
1781 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
1782
1783 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
1784 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
1785 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
1786 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
1787
1788 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
1789 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
1790 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
1791
1792 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
1793 Jeff Mogul).
1794
1795 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
1796
1797 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
1798 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
1799 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
1800 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
1801
1802 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
1803
1804 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
1805
1806 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
1807
1808 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
1809 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
1810
1811 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
1812 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
1813
1814 - IP options are now printed.
1815
1816 - RIP packets are now printed.
1817
1818 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
1819 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
1820 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
1821 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
1822
1823 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
1824 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
1825 entry).
1826
1827 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
1828 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
1829 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
1830 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
1831 packets.

1833 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
1834 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
1835 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
1836 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
1837 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
1838 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
1839 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
1840 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
