556 Bill Fenner (fenner@parc.xerox.com)
558 - Use autoconf endian detection since BYTE_ORDER isn't defined on all systems.
560 - Fix dvmrp printer truncation checks and add a dvmrp probe printer.
561 Thanks to Danny J. Mitzel (mitzel@ipsilon.com)
563 - Rewrite ospf printer to improve truncation checks.
565 - Don't parse tcp options past the EOL. As noted by David Sacerdote
566 (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
567 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
568 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
569 first block N times).
571 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
572 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.

672 - Port to GNU autoconf.
674 - Add support for printing DVMRP and PIM traffic thanks to
675 Havard Eidnes (Havard.Eidnes@runit.sintef.no).

694 - Check return status from pcap_loop() so we can print an error and
695 exit with a bad status if there were problems.
697 - Bail if ip option length is <= 0. Resulted from a bug report from
698 Darren Reed (darrenr@vitruvius.arbld.unimelb.edu.au).

714 selective acknowledgment case.
716 - Fixed an endian bug in the ospf printer. Thanks to Jeffrey C Honig
719 - Fix rip printer to handle 4.4 BSD sockaddr struct which only uses one
720 octet for the sa_family member. Thanks to Yoshitaka Tokugawa

730 v3.1a1 Wed May 3 19:21:11 PDT 1995
732 - Include time.h when SVR4 is defined to avoid problems under Solaris
735 - Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
736 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
737 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
739 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning
740 that the selected value was not used. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin
741 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).
743 - Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.
745 - BYTEORDER -> BYTE_ORDER Thanks to Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
747 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
749 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
750 "released" one in late 1995.
752 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
754 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
756 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
757 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
758 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
760 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
761 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
763 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
764 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).

773 v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
775 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
777 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
779 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
780 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
782 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
783 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
784 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
785 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
786 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
787 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
788 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
790 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
793 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
794 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
795 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
797 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
800 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
801 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
803 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
804 packaged separately).
806 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
808 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
811 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
812 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
814 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
817 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
818 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
820 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
821 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
822 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
823 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
824 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
825 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
826 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
827 with "not ip proto 4".)
829 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
830 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
832 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
834 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
835 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
836 Add && and || operators
838 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
840 - Fix bug with -c flag.
842 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
844 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
847 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
848 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
850 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
852 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
853 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
854 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
856 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
857 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
858 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
860 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
861 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
863 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
865 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
867 - Internal release (never publically exported).
869 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
871 - Various byte ordering fixes.
873 - Add truncation checks.
875 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
877 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
879 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
881 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
884 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
885 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
887 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
889 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
891 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
893 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
894 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
896 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
898 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
900 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
902 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
904 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
905 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
907 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
908 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
909 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
910 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
912 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
913 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
914 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
915 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
917 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
918 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
919 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
921 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
924 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
926 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
927 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
928 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
929 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
931 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
933 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
935 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
937 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
938 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
940 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
941 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
943 - IP options are now printed.
945 - RIP packets are now printed.
947 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
948 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
949 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
950 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
952 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
953 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
956 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
957 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
958 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
959 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
962 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
963 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
964 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
965 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
966 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
967 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
968 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
969 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
971 v2.0 Sun Jan 13 12:20:40 PST 1991
973 - Initial public release.
