1332 Marty Leisner (leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com)
1333
1334 - Add a local autoconf macro to check for routines in libraries; the
1335 autoconf version is broken (it only puts the library name in the
1336 cache variable name). Thanks to John Hawkinson.
1337
1338 - Add a local autoconf macro to check for types; the autoconf version
1339 is broken (it uses grep instead of actually compiling a code fragment).
1340
1341 - Modified to support the new BSD/OS 2.1 PPP and SLIP link layer header
1342 formats.
1343
1344 - Extend OSF ip header workaround to versions 1 and 2.
1345
1346 - Fix some signed problems in the nfs printer. As reported by David
1347 Sacerdote (davids@silence.secnet.com)
1348
1349 - Detect group wheel and use it as the default since BSD/OS' install
1350 can't hack numeric groups. Reported by David Sacerdote.
1351
1352 - AIX needs special loader options. Thanks to Jonathan I. Kamens
1353 (jik@cam.ov.com)
1354
1355 - Fixed the nfs printer to print port numbers in decimal. Thanks to
1356 Kent Vander Velden (graphix@iastate.edu)

1361
1362 - Attempt to detect "egcs" versions of gcc.
1363
1364 - Add missing closing double quotes when displaying bootp strings.
1365 Reported by Viet-Trung Luu (vluu@picard.math.uwaterloo.ca)
1366
1367 v3.3 Sat Nov 30 20:56:27 PST 1996

1372 (jhawk@mit.edu)
1373
1374 - Rewrite gmt2local() to avoid problematic os dependencies.
1375
1376 - Suppress nfs truncation message on errors.
1377
1378 - Add missing m4 quoting in AC_LBL_UNALIGNED_ACCESS autoconf macro.
1379 Reported by Joachim Ott (ott@ardala.han.de)
1380
1381 - Enable "ip_hl vs. ip_vhl" workaround for OSF4 too.
1382
1383 - Print arp hardware type in host order. Thanks to Onno van der Linden
1384 (onno@simplex.nl)
1385
1386 - Avoid solaris compiler warnings. Thanks to Bruce Barnett
1387 (barnett@grymoire.crd.ge.com)
1388
1389 - Fix rip printer to not print one more route than is actually in the
1390 packet. Thanks to Jean-Luc Richier (Jean-Luc.Richier@imag.fr) and
1391 Bill Fenner (fenner@parc.xerox.com)
1392
1393 - Use autoconf endian detection since BYTE_ORDER isn't defined on all systems.
1394
1395 - Fix dvmrp printer truncation checks and add a dvmrp probe printer.
1396 Thanks to Danny J. Mitzel (mitzel@ipsilon.com)
1397
1398 - Rewrite ospf printer to improve truncation checks.
1399
1400 - Don't parse tcp options past the EOL. As noted by David Sacerdote
1401 (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
1402 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
1403 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
1404 first block N times).
1405
1406 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
1407 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.
1408
1409 v3.2.1 Sun Jul 14 03:02:26 PDT 1996

1422
1423 - Check igmp checksum if possible. Thanks to John Hawkinson.
1424
1425 - Made changes for SINIX. Thanks to Andrej Borsenkow
1426 (borsenkow.msk@sni.de)
1427
1428 - Use autoconf's idea of the top level directory in install targets.
1429 Thanks to John Hawkinson.
1430
1431 - Avoid infinite loop in tcp options printing code. Thanks to Jeffrey
1432 Mogul (mogul@pa.dec.com)
1433
1434 - Avoid using -lsocket in IRIX 5.2 and earlier since it breaks snoop.
1435 Thanks to John Hawkinson.
1436
1437 - Added some more packet truncation checks.
1438
1439 - On systems that have it, use sigset() instead of signal() since
1440 signal() has different semantics on these systems.
1441
1442 - Fixed some more alignment problems on the alpha.
1443
1444 - Add code to massage unprintable characters in the domain and ipx

1465
1466 - Added truncated packet macros and various checks.
1467
1468 - Fixed endian problems with the DECnet printer.
1469
1470 - Use $CC when checking gcc version. Thanks to Carl Lindberg
1471 (carl_lindberg@blacksmith.com)
1472
1473 - Fixes for AIX (although this system is not yet supported). Thanks to
1474 John Hawkinson.
1475
1476 - Fix bugs in the autoconf misaligned accesses code fragment.
1477
1478 - Include sys/param.h to get BYTE_ORDER in a few places. Thanks to
1479 Pavlin Ivanov Radoslavov (pavlin@cs.titech.ac.jp)
1480
1481 v3.2 Sun Jun 23 02:28:10 PDT 1996

1488
1489 - Define "new" domain record types if not found in arpa/nameserv.h.
1490 Resulted from a suggestion from John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu). Also
1491 fixed an endian bug when printing mx record and added some new record
1492 types.
1493
1494 - Added RIP V2 support. Thanks to Jeffrey Honig (jch@bsdi.com)
1495
1496 - Added T/TCP options printing. As suggested by Richard Stevens
1497 (rstevens@noao.edu)
1498
1499 - Use autoconf to detect architectures that can't handle misaligned
1500 accesses.
1501
1502 v3.1 Thu Jun 13 20:59:32 PDT 1996
1503
1504 - Changed u_int32/int32 to u_int32_t/int32_t to be consistent with bsd
1505 and bind (as suggested by Charles Hannum).
1506
1507 - Port to GNU autoconf.
1508
1509 - Add support for printing DVMRP and PIM traffic thanks to
1510 Havard Eidnes (Havard.Eidnes@runit.sintef.no).
1511

1513 define being referenced. Reported by Terry Kennedy.
1514
1515 - Minor fixes to the man page thanks to Mark Andrews.
1516
1517 - Endian fixes to RTP and vat packet dumpers, thanks to Bruce Mah
1518 (bmah@cs.berkeley.edu).
1519
1520 - Added support for new dns types, thanks to Rainer Orth.
1521
1522 - Fixed tftp_print() to print the block number for ACKs.
1523
1524 - Document -dd and -ddd. Resulted from a bug report from Charlie Slater
1525 (cslater@imatek.com).
1526
1527 - Check return status from malloc/calloc/etc.
1528
1529 - Check return status from pcap_loop() so we can print an error and
1530 exit with a bad status if there were problems.
1531
1532 - Bail if ip option length is <= 0. Resulted from a bug report from
1533 Darren Reed (darrenr@vitruvius.arbld.unimelb.edu.au).
1534
1535 - Print out a little more information for sun rpc packets.
1536
1537 - Add support for Kerberos 4 thanks to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu).
1538
1539 - Fixed the Fix EXTRACT_SHORT() and EXTRACT_LONG() macros (which were

1555 octet for the sa_family member. Thanks to Yoshitaka Tokugawa
1556 (toku@dit.co.jp)
1557
1558 - Don't checksum ip header if we don't have all of it. Thanks to John
1559 Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu).
1560
1561 - Print out hostnames if possible in egp printer. Thanks to Jeffrey
1562 Honig (jhc@bsdi.com)
1563
1564
1565 v3.1a1 Wed May 3 19:21:11 PDT 1995
1566
1567 - Include time.h when SVR4 is defined to avoid problems under Solaris
1568 2.3.
1569
1570 - Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
1571 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
1572 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
1573
1574 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning
1575 that the selected value was not used. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin
1576 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).
1577
1578 - Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.
1579
1580 - BYTEORDER -> BYTE_ORDER Thanks to Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
1581
1582 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
1583
1584 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
1585 "released" one in late 1995.
1586
1587 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
1588
1589 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
1590
1591 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
1592 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
1593 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
1594
1595 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
1596 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1597
1598 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
1599 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).
1600
1601 - Fixed printout of connection id for uncompressed tcp slip packets.
1602 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
1603
1604 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
1605
1606 - Add ETHERTYPE_TRAIL define which is missing from irix5.
1607
1608 v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
1609
1610 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
1611
1612 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
1613
1614 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
1615 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
1616
1617 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
1618 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
1619 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
1620 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
1621 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
1622 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
1623 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
1624
1625 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
1626 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
1627
1628 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
1629 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
1630 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
1631
1632 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
1633 (brad@fcr.com).
1634
1635 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
1636 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
1637
1638 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
1639 packaged separately).
1640
1641 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
1642
1643 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
1644 what we expect.
1645
1646 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
1647 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
1648
1649 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
1650 (mogul@pa.dec.com).
1651
1652 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
1653 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
1654
1655 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
1656 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
1657 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
1658 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
1659 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
1660 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
1661 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
1662 with "not ip proto 4".)
1663
1664 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
1665 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1666
1667 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
1668
1669 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
1670 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
1671 Add && and || operators
1672
1673 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
1674
1675 - Fix bug with -c flag.
1676
1677 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
1678
1679 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
1680 truncate checks.
1681
1682 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
1683 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
1684
1685 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
1686
1687 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
1688 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
1689 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
1690
1691 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
1692 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
1693 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
1694
1695 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
1696 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
1697
1698 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
1699
1700 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
1701
1702 - Internal release (never publicly exported).
1703
1704 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
1705
1706 - Various byte ordering fixes.
1707
1708 - Add truncation checks.
1709
1710 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
1711
1712 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
1713
1714 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
1715
1716 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
1717 for broadcast nets.
1718
1719 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
1720 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
1721
1722 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
1723
1724 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
1725
1726 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
1727
1728 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
1729 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
1730
1731 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
1732
1733 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
1734
1735 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
1736
1737 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
1738
1739 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
1740 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
1741
1742 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
1743 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
1744 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
1745 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
1746
1747 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
1748 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
1749 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
1750 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
1751
1752 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
1753 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
1754 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
1755
1756 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
1757 Jeff Mogul).
1758
1759 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
1760
1761 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
1762 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
1763 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
1764 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
1765
1766 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
1767
1768 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
1769
1770 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
1771
1772 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
1773 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
1774
1775 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
1776 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
1777
1778 - IP options are now printed.
1779
1780 - RIP packets are now printed.
1781
1782 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
1783 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
1784 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
1785 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
1786
1787 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
1788 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
1789 entry).
1790
1791 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
1792 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
1793 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
1794 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
1795 packets.
1796
1797 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
1798 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
1799 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
1800 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
1801 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
1802 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
1803 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
1804 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
1805
1806 v2.0 Sun Jan 13 12:20:40 PST 1991
1807
1808 - Initial public release.
