232	Note that poll() works on BPF devices is Snow Leopard
233	If an ENXIO or ENETDOWN is received, it may mean the device has
234	  gone away.  Deal with it.
235	For BPF, raise the default capture buffer size to from 32k to 512k
236	Support ps_ifdrop on Linux
237	Added a bunch of #ifdef directives to make wpcap.dll (WinPcap) compile

262	  attempt to open it in Monitor mode
263	Add support for snapshot length for USB Memory-Mapped Interface
264	Fix configure and build on recent Linux kernels
265	Fix memory-mapped Linux capture to support pcap_next() and

424 	Support frame relay.
425 	Handle 32-bit timestamps in DLPI, and pass the right buffer size.
426 	Handle Linux systems with modern kernel but without
427 	 SOL_PACKET in the userland headers.
428 	Linux support for ARPHRD_RAWHDLC.
429 	Handle 32-bit timestamps in snoop.

432
433Monday October 23, 2001. mcr@sandelman.ottawa.on.ca. Summary for 0.7 release
434
435	Added pcap_findalldevs() call to get list of interfaces in a MI way.
436
437	pcap_stats() has been documented as to what its counters mean on
438	each platform.
439
440Tuesday January 9, 2001. guy@alum.mit.edu. Summary for 0.6 release
441
442	New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
443	kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
444	filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
445	device for capturing on all interfaces.  Cleans up promiscuous
446	mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
447	(handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
448	doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).
449
450	Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
451	an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.
452
453	libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values
454	in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_
455	values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between
456	different OSes.
457
458	Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g.
459	the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read.
460
461	Updated autoconf stock files.
462
463	Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
464	protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
465	packets).
466
467	"pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
468	to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.
469
470	Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.
471
472	Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout.
473	Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.
474
475	Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
476	with snprintf.
477
478	Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
479	erroneously after one compile failed.
480
481	Assorted other bug fixes.
482
483	README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
484	platform-specific issues.
485
486	"getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.

492- Fixes for NetBSD.
493- Support added for OpenBSD DLT_LOOP and BSD/OS DLT_C_HDLC (Cisco HDLC),

497Assar Westerlund  <assar@sics.se>
498- Building outside the source code tree fixed.

502- Changed "pcap_lookupdev()" to dynamically grow the buffer into which
503  the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the
504  entire list.
505
506Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com>
507- Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter

509  capture file.

530  Thanks to Thomas Sailer (sailer@ife.ee.ethz.ch)
531
532- Change IRIX PPP to use DLT_RAW since the kernel does not supply any
533  "link layer" data.

535- Modified to support the new BSD/OS 2.1 PPP and SLIP link layer header
536  formats.

578  timeouts.
579
580- Changed ISLOOPBACK() macro when IFF_LOOPBACK isn't available to check
581  for "lo" followed by an eos or digit (newer versions of Linux
582  apparently call the loopback "lo" instead of "lo0").
583
584- Fixed Linux networking include files to use ints instead of longs to
585  avoid problems with 64 bit longs on the alpha. Thanks to Cristian
586  Gafton (gafton@redhat.com)

672- Fixed compiler and optimizer bugs.  The BPF filter engine uses unsigned
673  comparison operators, while the code generator and optimizer assumed
674  signed semantics in several places.  Thanks to Charlie Slater
675  (cslater@imatek.com) for pointing this out.
676
677- Removed FDDI ifdef's, they aren't really needed. Resulted from report
678  by Gary Veum (veum@boa.gsfc.nasa.gov).
679

717
718- Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.

722
723- Fixed configure to test for snoop before dlpi to avoid problems under
724  IRIX 5. Thanks to J. Eric Townsend (jet@abulafia.genmagic.com).
725
726- Hack around deficiency in Ultrix's make.
727
728- Fix two bugs related to the Solaris pre-5.3.2 bufmod bug; handle
729  savefiles that have more than snapshot bytes of data in them (so we
730  can read old savefiles) and avoid writing such files.
731
732- Added checkioctl which is used with gcc to check that the
733  "fixincludes" script has been run.
734
735v0.0.3 Tue Oct 18 18:13:46 PDT 1994
736
737- Fixed configure to test for snoop before dlpi to avoid problems under

751  wasn't being initialized sometimes resulting in an "NIOCSFLAGS:
752  Invalid argument" error under OSF/1. Reported by Matt Day
753  (mday@artisoft.com) and Danny Mitzel (dmitzel@whitney.hitc.com).
754
