355 applications can tell the user they need to go play with permissions

497 Added pcap_findalldevs() call to get list of interfaces in a MI way.
499 pcap_stats() has been documented as to what its counters mean on
500 each platform.
502 Tuesday January 9, 2001. guy@alum.mit.edu. Summary for 0.6 release
504 New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
505 kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
506 filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
507 device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous
508 mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
509 (handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
510 doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).
512 Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
513 an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.
515 libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values
516 in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_
517 values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between
518 different OSes.
520 Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g.
521 the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read.
523 Updated autoconf stock files.
525 Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
526 protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
527 packets).
529 "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
530 to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.
532 Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.
534 Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout.
535 Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.
537 Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
538 with snprintf.
540 Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
541 erroneously after one compile failed.
543 Assorted other bug fixes.
545 README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
546 platform-specific issues.
548 "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.

565 the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the
566 entire list.
568 Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com>
569 - Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter
570 expression into a BPF program without having an open live capture or
571 capture file.
573 v0.4 Sat Jul 25 12:40:09 PDT 1998
575 - Fix endian problem with DLT_NULL devices. From FreeBSD via Bill

589 supply any "link layer" data.
591 - Change Linux to use SIOCGIFHWADDR ioctl to determine link layer type.
592 Thanks to Thomas Sailer (sailer@ife.ee.ethz.ch)

640 timeouts.
642 - Changed ISLOOPBACK() macro when IFF_LOOPBACK isn't available to check
643 for "lo" followed by an eos or digit (newer versions of Linux
644 apparently call the loopback "lo" instead of "lo0").
646 - Fixed Linux networking include files to use ints instead of longs to
647 avoid problems with 64 bit longs on the alpha. Thanks to Cristian

786 IRIX 5. Thanks to J. Eric Townsend (jet@abulafia.genmagic.com).
788 - Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
790 - Fix two bugs related to the Solaris pre-5.3.2 bufmod bug; handle
791 savefiles that have more than snapshot bytes of data in them (so we
792 can read old savefiles) and avoid writing such files.
794 - Added checkioctl which is used with gcc to check that the
795 "fixincludes" script has been run.
797 v0.0.3 Tue Oct 18 18:13:46 PDT 1994
