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

186 - Fix dvmrp printer truncation checks and add a dvmrp probe printer.
187 Thanks to Danny J. Mitzel (mitzel@ipsilon.com)
189 - Rewrite ospf printer to improve truncation checks.
191 - Don't parse tcp options past the EOL. As noted by David Sacerdote
192 (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
193 actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
194 checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
195 first block N times).
197 - Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
198 aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.
200 v3.2.1 Sun Jul 14 03:02:26 PDT 1996

225 - Avoid using -lsocket in IRIX 5.2 and earlier since it breaks snoop.
226 Thanks to John Hawkinson.
228 - Added some more packet truncation checks.
230 - On systems that have it, use sigset() instead of signal() since
231 signal() has different semantics on these systems.
233 - Fixed some more alignment problems on the alpha.
235 - Add code to massage unprintable characters in the domain and ipx
236 printers. Thanks to John Hawkinson.
238 - Added explicit netmask support. Thanks to Steve Nuchia

241 - Add "sca" keyword (for DEC cluster services) as suggested by Terry
242 Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu)

298 - Port to GNU autoconf.
300 - Add support for printing DVMRP and PIM traffic thanks to
301 Havard Eidnes (Havard.Eidnes@runit.sintef.no).

340 selective acknowledgment case.
342 - Fixed an endian bug in the ospf printer. Thanks to Jeffrey C Honig
345 - Fix rip printer to handle 4.4 BSD sockaddr struct which only uses one
346 octet for the sa_family member. Thanks to Yoshitaka Tokugawa
349 - Don't checksum ip header if we don't have all of it. Thanks to John
350 Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu).
352 - Print out hostnames if possible in egp printer. Thanks to Jeffrey
356 v3.1a1 Wed May 3 19:21:11 PDT 1995
358 - Include time.h when SVR4 is defined to avoid problems under Solaris
361 - Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
362 strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
363 (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
365 - Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning
366 that the selected value was not used. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin
367 (Pascal.Hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr).
369 - Add a truncated packet test to print-nfs.c. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin.
371 - BYTEORDER -> BYTE_ORDER Thanks to Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
373 v3.0.3 Sun Oct 1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
375 - Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
376 "released" one in late 1995.
378 v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
380 - Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
382 - Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
383 an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
384 Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
386 - Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
387 on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
389 - Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
390 Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).

393 Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
395 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
397 - Add ETHERTYPE_TRAIL define which is missing from irix5.
399 v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
401 - Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
403 v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
405 - Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
406 Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
408 - Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
409 never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
410 in place). Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
411 the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
412 the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
413 the protocol dumpers would modify the data). Thanks to Charles Hannum
414 (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
416 - Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
419 - Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
420 (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
421 to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
423 - Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
426 - Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
427 Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
429 - Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
430 packaged separately).
432 - Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
434 - print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
437 - print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
438 Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
440 - print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
443 - print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
444 Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
446 - print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
447 By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
448 "(encap)". Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
449 (on the same line). Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
450 not the encapsulated packet. So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
451 IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
452 conventional syntax. (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
453 with "not ip proto 4".)
455 - print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
456 nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
458 - print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
460 - tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
461 (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
462 Add && and || operators
464 v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
466 - Fix bug with -c flag.
468 v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
470 - savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
473 - Added the 'icmp' keyword. For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
474 matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
476 - Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
478 - Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
479 so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
480 and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
482 - Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
483 Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
484 patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
486 - Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
487 Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
489 - Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
491 v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
493 - Internal release (never publically exported).
495 v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
497 - Various byte ordering fixes.
499 - Add truncation checks.
501 - inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
503 - nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
505 - optimize.c: Rewritten.
507 - pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
510 - print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
511 stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
513 - print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
515 - print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
517 - print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
519 - print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
520 with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
522 - print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
524 - print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
526 - print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
528 - print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
530 - tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
531 (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
533 - A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
534 With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
535 trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
536 At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
538 - BSD is supported. You must have BPF in your kernel.
539 Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
540 dropped. In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
541 Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
543 - Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
544 SLIP software and BPF. These packets are dumped as any other IP
545 packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
547 - Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
550 - Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
552 - IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
553 Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>. Tcpdump has been tested under
554 both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
555 (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
557 - TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
559 - BOOTP packets are now printed.
561 - SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
563 - Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
564 supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
566 - SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
567 University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
569 - IP options are now printed.
571 - RIP packets are now printed.
573 - There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
574 default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
575 and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
576 interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
578 - The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
579 earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
582 The most useful change is the addition of an expression
583 syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
584 packet. E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
585 options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
588 The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
589 "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
590 of "host foo port bar". The up side to this down is that
591 repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
592 expressions shorter. E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
593 (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
594 between hosts foo and baz. [The old way of saying this was "ip
595 host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
597 v2.0 Sun Jan 13 12:20:40 PST 1991
599 - Initial public release.
