2012-01-31, Version 1.6.2:
* Build system: Setting capabilities and the set-UID bit has been made
more fault-tolerant, so that it will work with Debian's fakeroot(1)
utility.
* src/liboping.c: Fixed a compiler warning about an non-static format
string. Thanks to Brian Edwards for pointing this out.
* src/liboping.c: Fixed compilation under Mac OS X and Solaris. Thanks
to Clayton O'Neill for his patch.
2011-03-06, Version 1.6.1:
* Build system: If "make install" is executed as root, the CAP_NET_RAW
capability is added to the binary (on Linux) or the set-UID bit is
set (other Unixes).
* src/oping.c: Fix compiler warnings which may abort the build. Thanks
to James Bromberger for reporting the problem.
* noping: Compatibility with ncurses 5.8 has been fixed. Thanks to
Gaetan Bisson for his patch.
2011-01-26, Version 1.6.0:
* liboping: Improve timing of received network packets using
SO_TIMESTAMP if available. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for his patch.
2010-11-17, Version 1.5.1:
* oping, noping: Alias for the “Voice Admit” DSCP has been added.
* src/oping.c, src/liboping.c: Compiler warnings / errors have been
fixed. Thanks to James Bromberger for reporting one of them.
2010-10-27, Version 1.5.0:
* src/liboping.c: The possibility to set the QoS byte of outgoing IPv4
and IPv6 packets and read the byte from incoming packets has been
added. Thanks to Vladimir Melnikov for his patch.
* oping, noping: Add the ability to configure the QoS field on the
command line. If either the QoS field of outgoing or incoming
packets is non-standard, the QoS byte of incoming packets will be
printed.
* liboping: The library has been relicensed under the LGPL 2.1.
2010-06-13, Version 1.4.0:
* noping: A new front-end to liboping, using the ncurses library, has
been added. The new command line application displays ping
statistics online and highlights aberrant round-trip times.
2009-12-20, Version 1.3.4:
* src/liboping.c: When one file descriptor was in an error state, the
select(2) loop would run indefinitely. Error handling has been
improved so the loop ends gracefully now in this case.
* src/liboping.c: Drop privileges before reading files if supported by
the system. This way files are opened using the user's original
privileges when using the “-f” option.
* Net::Oping: An off-by-one error has been fixed in the Perl bindings.
Thanks to Fredrik Soderblom for his patch.
2009-09-29, Version 1.3.3:
* oping: Disable the “-f” option if the real and effective user IDs
don't match. If that is the case the program is probably running
SetUID and should not read foreign files. Unfortunately, dropping
privileges before reading the file is not possible, because they are
required for opening raw sockets.
Reading from STDIN using “-f -” is still possible.
Thanks to Steve Kemp for reporting this issue as Debian bug #548684.
2009-07-27, Version 1.3.2:
* src/oping.h: Remove `HAVE_*_H' macros for system headers. Those
macros should not be used in system wide installed header files.
Thanks to Sebastian for fixing this.
2009-07-20, Version 1.3.1
* src/liboping.c: Fix too eager argument validation that prevented the
library to work as documented. Thanks to Sebastian for catching this
bug.
2009-07-18, Version 1.3.0
* oping: Documentation and messages have been improved.
* oping: Support for the `-D' command line option has been added.
Using this new option, the outgoing network device can be set.
Thanks to Sebastian Harl for the patch.
* src/liboping.c: The value of the `received TTL' information after
missing packets has been corrected.
* src/liboping.c: A bug when matching received packets to configured
hosts has been fixed. This regression was introduced after 1.0, we
believe. Thanks to Sebastian Harl for noticing and fixing this bug.
* src/liboping.c: Support for the `PING_OPT_DEVICE' option has been
added. This option can be used to set the outgoing network device.
Thanks to Sebastian for his patch.
2009-07-15, Version 1.2.0
* `oping': Implement the `-f' command line option to read hostnames
from a file (or STDIN).
* src/liboping.c: No longer export `sstrerror'.
2009-04-05, Version 1.1.2
* liboping.c: A NULL-pointer dereference has been fixed in the IPv4
code. This led to a segmentation fault when an ICMPv4 paket could
not be associated with any host. This usually happened when one or
more hosts were unreachable for some time. Thanks to Tomasz Pala for
discovering the problem and finding a way to reproduce it.
2009-03-23, Version 1.1.1
* liboping.c: Use libxnet when available. The `normal' version of
`recvmsg' does not provide the `auxiliary data' on some or all
versions of Solaris.
2009-03-15, Version 1.1.0
* liboping.c: Eliminate the use of `strerror' and use `strerror_r'
instead, removing the (hopefully) last thread-unsafe function.
* liboping.c: Provide the TTL of received IP packets.
* oping.c: Allow setting of the TTL using the `-t' command line
option.
2009-02-17, Version 1.0.0
* oping.h: Provide the OPING_VERSION to easily determine the library's
version at compile time.
* liboping.c: Fixed an off-by-one error in `ping_iterator_get_info':
When determining the buffer size to hold the hostname, the function
would return one byte too little.
* liboping.c: Fix an incorrect assertion in `ping_timeval_add'. Thanks
to Alex Brooks for reporting the issue.
* liboping.c: Make sure `EAI_SYSTEM' is defined at compile time.
Although specified by POSIX, Cygwin apparently doesn't have it.
* liboping.c: Add compatibility code for AIX. Thanks to Doug
MacEachern for the patch.
* liboping.c: Store and possibly return the host name as provided by
the user.
* liboping.c: The number of timed out packets is now counted and can
be retrieved with `ping_iterator_get_info'.
* Perl bindings: The Net::Oping Perl package has been added to
bindings/ and is built along with liboping.
2007-03-27, Version 0.3.5
* liboping.c: Close the filedescriptor in `ping_free', not
`ping_host_remove'. Thanks to Esteban Sanchez for submitting this
patch.
* oping.h: Include <sys/types.h> so that `size_t' is defined. Thanks
to Alex Brooks for pointing this out.
* oping.h: Use `extern "C"' when being used with C++. Thanks to Alex
Brooks for pointing this out.
2006-12-01, Version 0.3.4
* Fixes a bug in `ping_host_remove': Due to an incorrect hostname
checking the wrong host would be removed.
2006-07-16, Version 0.3.3
* `sendto(2)' now catches `EHOSTUNREACH' and `ENETUNREACH' if they're
defined.
2006-07-13, Version 0.3.2
* `oping' now drops root privileges as soon as possible.
* `liboping' now contains an `soname' and a version.
2006-07-09, Version 0.3.1
* Removed `libltdl' from the distribution since it's not used.
* More nonsense has been removed from the build system. Thanks to
Sebastian Harl for pointing it out :)
2006-07-09, Version 0.3.0
* The ability to set the source address from which the packets
originate has been added to the library and the oping application.
2006-07-16, Version 0.2.3
* `sendto(2)' now catches `EHOSTUNREACH' and `ENETUNREACH' if they're
defined.
2006-06-05, Version 0.2.2
* The `oping' application didn't exit if no hosts could be resolved.
This release fixes it's behavior.
2006-06-01, Version 0.2.1
* Fix the behavior for non GNU-Linux systems. liboping tried to
`bind(2)' to the raw-socket it uses to send ICMP packets. Apparently
(decided by majority vote ;) this is not the right thing to do.
GNU/Linux never complained about it, but works find without the bind.
Other operating systems don't work at all with the bind.
* Build fixes for non-GNU/Linux platforms: Mac OS X doesn't define
`size_t' as `unsigned int' and therefore needs casting and FreeBSD
needs to have `sys/types.h' included before `netinet/*.h'
2006-05-29, Version 0.2.0
* It's now possible to set the data to be send to the remote host and
to get the data received from the host.
* The `oping' binary now calculates the standard deviation. Also, it
displays the number of byes that were received and other output
changes.
* Hosts are now returned in the same order as they were added by
`ping_host_add'. This is not guaranteed, but makes `oping' prettier.
2006-05-12, Version 0.1.1
* A bug in the library has been fixed: When the sequence got higher
than 2^16 the counter in the packets wrapped around, but the
internal counter didn't, causing the library to ignore all further
ICMP packets. This affected both, ICMPv4 and ICMPv6.
2006-05-08, Version 0.1.0
* Initial release.
