	Fix shared library build on AIX.

Thu.	March 11, 2010.  ken@netfunctional.ca/guy@alum.mit.edu.
Summary for 1.1.0 libpcap release
	Add SocketCAN capture support
	Add Myricom SNF API support
	Update Endace DAG and ERF support
	Add support for shared libraries on Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX
	Build, install, and un-install shared libraries by default;
	  don't build/install shared libraries on platforms we don't support
	Fix building from a directory other than the source directory
	Fix compiler warnings and builds on some platforms
	Update config.guess and config.sub
	Support monitor mode on mac80211 devices on Linux
	Fix USB memory-mapped capturing on Linux; it requires a new DLT_
	  value
	On Linux, scan /sys/class/net for devices if we have it; scan
	  it, or /proc/net/dev if we don't have /sys/class/net, even if
	  we have getifaddrs(), as it'll find interfaces with no
	  addresses
	Add limited support for reading pcap-ng files
	Fix BPF driver-loading error handling on AIX
	Support getting the full-length interface description on FreeBSD
	In the lexical analyzer, free up any addrinfo structure we got back
	  from getaddrinfo().
	Add support for BPF and libdlpi in OpenSolaris (and SXCE)
	Hyphenate "link-layer" everywhere
	Add /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon to the list of usbmon locations
	In pcap_read_linux_mmap(), if there are no frames available, call
	  poll() even if we're in non-blocking mode, so we pick up
	  errors, and check for the errors in question.
	Note that poll() works on BPF devices is Snow Leopard
	If an ENXIO or ENETDOWN is received, it may mean the device has
	  gone away.  Deal with it.
	For BPF, raise the default capture buffer size to from 32k to 512k
	Support ps_ifdrop on Linux
	Added a bunch of #ifdef directives to make wpcap.dll (WinPcap) compile
	 under cygwin.
	Changes to Linux mmapped captures.
	Fix bug where create_ring would fail for particular snaplen and
	  buffer size combinations
	Update pcap-config so that it handles libpcap requiring
	  additional libraries
	Add workaround for threadsafeness on Windows
	Add missing mapping for DLT_ENC <-> LINKTYPE_ENC
	DLT: Add DLT_CAN_SOCKETCAN
	DLT: Add Solaris ipnet
	Don't check for DLT_IPNET if it's not defined
	Add link-layer types for Fibre Channel FC-2
	Add link-layer types for Wireless HART
	Add link-layer types for AOS
	Add link-layer types for DECT
	Autoconf fixes (AIX, HP-UX, OSF/1, Tru64 cleanups)
	Install headers unconditionally, and include vlan.h/bluetooth.h if
	  enabled
	Autoconf fixes+cleanup
	Support enabling/disabling bluetooth (--{en,dis}able-bluetooth)
	Support disabling SITA support (--without-sita)
	Return -1 on failure to create packet ring (if supported but
	  creation failed)
	Fix handling of 'any' device, so that it can be opened, and no longer
	  attempt to open it in Monitor mode
	Add support for snapshot length for USB Memory-Mapped Interface
	Fix configure and build on recent Linux kernels
	Fix memory-mapped Linux capture to support pcap_next() and
	  pcap_next_ex()
	Fixes for Linux USB capture
	DLT: Add DLT_LINUX_EVDEV
	DLT: Add DLT_GSMTAP_UM
	DLT: Add DLT_GSMTAP_ABIS

	Return PCAP_ERROR_IFACE_NOT_UP if the interface isn't 'UP', so applications
	 can print better diagnostic information
	Return PCAP_ERROR_PERM_DENIED if we don't have permission to open a device, so
	 applications can tell the user they need to go play with permissions
	On Linux, ignore ENETDOWN so we can continue to capture packets if the
	 interface goes down and comes back up again.
	On Linux, support new tpacket frame headers (2.6.27+)
	On Mac OS X, add scripts for changing permissions on /dev/bpf* and launchd plist
	On Solaris, support 'passive mode' on systems that support it
	Fixes to autoconf and general build environment

	pcap_stats() has been documented as to what its counters mean on
	each platform.

Tuesday January 9, 2001. guy@alum.mit.edu. Summary for 0.6 release

	New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
	kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
	filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
	device for capturing on all interfaces.  Cleans up promiscuous
	mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
	(handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
	doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).

	Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
	an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.

	libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values
	in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_
	values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between
	different OSes.

	Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g.
	the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read.

	Updated autoconf stock files.

	Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
	protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
	packets).

	"pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
	to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.

	Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.

	Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout.
	Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.

	Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
	with snprintf.

	Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
	erroneously after one compile failed.

	Assorted other bug fixes.

	README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
	platform-specific issues.

	"getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.

itojun@iijlab.net
- Brought in KAME IPv6/IPsec bpf compiler.
- Fixes for NetBSD.

  with the same numeric value.

Assar Westerlund  <assar@sics.se>
- Building outside the source code tree fixed.
- Changed to write out time stamps with 32-bit seconds and microseconds
  fields, regardless of whether those fields are 32 bits or 64 bits in
  the OS's native "struct timeval".

  the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the
  entire list.

Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com>
- Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter
  expression into a BPF program without having an open live capture or
  capture file.
