1 2009-03-23, Version 1.1.1
2 * liboping.c: Use libxnet when available. The `normal' version of
3 `recvmsg' does not provide the `auxiliary data' on some or all
4 versions of Solaris.
6 2009-03-15, Version 1.1.0
7 * liboping.c: Eliminate the use of `strerror' and use `strerror_r'
8 instead, removing the (hopefully) last thread-unsafe function.
9 * liboping.c: Provide the TTL of received IP packets.
10 * oping.c: Allow setting of the TTL using the `-t' command line
11 option.
13 2009-02-17, Version 1.0.0
14 * oping.h: Provide the OPING_VERSION to easily determine the library's
15 version at compile time.
16 * liboping.c: Fixed an off-by-one error in `ping_iterator_get_info':
17 When determining the buffer size to hold the hostname, the function
18 would return one byte too little.
19 * liboping.c: Fix an incorrect assertion in `ping_timeval_add'. Thanks
20 to Alex Brooks for reporting the issue.
21 * liboping.c: Make sure `EAI_SYSTEM' is defined at compile time.
22 Although specified by POSIX, Cygwin apparently doesn't have it.
23 * liboping.c: Add compatibility code for AIX. Thanks to Doug
24 MacEachern for the patch.
25 * liboping.c: Store and possibly return the host name as provided by
26 the user.
27 * liboping.c: The number of timed out packets is now counted and can
28 be retrieved with `ping_iterator_get_info'.
29 * Perl bindings: The Net::Oping Perl package has been added to
30 bindings/ and is built along with liboping.
32 2007-03-27, Version 0.3.5
33 * liboping.c: Close the filedescriptor in `ping_free', not
34 `ping_host_remove'. Thanks to Esteban Sanchez for submitting this
35 patch.
36 * oping.h: Include <sys/types.h> so that `size_t' is defined. Thanks
37 to Alex Brooks for pointing this out.
38 * oping.h: Use `extern "C"' when being used with C++. Thanks to Alex
39 Brooks for pointing this out.
41 2006-12-01, Version 0.3.4
42 * Fixes a bug in `ping_host_remove': Due to an incorrect hostname
43 checking the wrong host would be removed.
45 2006-07-16, Version 0.3.3
46 * `sendto(2)' now catches `EHOSTUNREACH' and `ENETUNREACH' if they're
47 defined.
49 2006-07-13, Version 0.3.2
50 * `oping' now drops root privileges as soon as possible.
51 * `liboping' now contains an `soname' and a version.
53 2006-07-09, Version 0.3.1
54 * Removed `libltdl' from the distribution since it's not used.
55 * More nonsense has been removed from the build system. Thanks to
56 Sebastian Harl for pointing it out :)
58 2006-07-09, Version 0.3.0
59 * The ability to set the source address from which the packets
60 originate has been added to the library and the oping application.
62 2006-07-16, Version 0.2.3
63 * `sendto(2)' now catches `EHOSTUNREACH' and `ENETUNREACH' if they're
64 defined.
66 2006-06-05, Version 0.2.2
67 * The `oping' application didn't exit if no hosts could be resolved.
68 This release fixes it's behavior.
70 2006-06-01, Version 0.2.1
71 * Fix the behavior for non GNU-Linux systems. liboping tried to
72 `bind(2)' to the raw-socket it uses to send ICMP packets. Apparently
73 (decided by majority vote ;) this is not the right thing to do.
74 GNU/Linux never complained about it, but works find without the bind.
75 Other operating systems don't work at all with the bind.
76 * Build fixes for non-GNU/Linux platforms: Mac OS X doesn't define
77 `size_t' as `unsigned int' and therefore needs casting and FreeBSD
78 needs to have `sys/types.h' included before `netinet/*.h'
80 2006-05-29, Version 0.2.0
81 * It's now possible to set the data to be send to the remote host and
82 to get the data received from the host.
83 * The `oping' binary now calculates the standard deviation. Also, it
84 displays the number of byes that were received and other output
85 changes.
86 * Hosts are now returned in the same order as they were added by
87 `ping_host_add'. This is not guaranteed, but makes `oping' prettier.
89 2006-05-12, Version 0.1.1
90 * A bug in the library has been fixed: When the sequence got higher
91 than 2^16 the counter in the packets wrapped around, but the
92 internal counter didn't, causing the library to ignore all further
93 ICMP packets. This affected both, ICMPv4 and ICMPv6.
95 2006-05-08, Version 0.1.0
96 * Initial release.
