1 2009-07-17, Version 1.3.0
2 * oping: Documentation and messages have been improved.
3 * oping: Support for the `-D' command line option has been added.
4 Using this new option, the outgoing network device can be set.
5 Thanks to Sebastian Harl for the patch.
6 * src/liboping.c: The value of the `received TTL' information after
7 missing packets has been corrected.
8 * src/liboping.c: A bug when matching received packets to configured
9 hosts has been fixed. This regression was introduced after 1.0, we
10 believe. Thanks to Sebastian Harl for noticing and fixing this bug.
11 * src/liboping.c: Support for the `PING_OPT_DEVICE' option has been
12 added. This option can be used to set the outgoing network device.
13 Thanks to Sebastian for his patch.
15 2009-07-15, Version 1.2.0
16 * `oping': Implement the `-f' command line option to read hostnames
17 from a file (or STDIN).
18 * src/liboping.c: No longer export `sstrerror'.
20 2009-04-05, Version 1.1.2
21 * liboping.c: A NULL-pointer dereference has been fixed in the IPv4
22 code. This led to a segmentation fault when an ICMPv4 paket could
23 not be associated with any host. This usually happened when one or
24 more hosts were unreachable for some time. Thanks to Tomasz Pala for
25 discovering the problem and finding a way to reproduce it.
27 2009-03-23, Version 1.1.1
28 * liboping.c: Use libxnet when available. The `normal' version of
29 `recvmsg' does not provide the `auxiliary data' on some or all
30 versions of Solaris.
32 2009-03-15, Version 1.1.0
33 * liboping.c: Eliminate the use of `strerror' and use `strerror_r'
34 instead, removing the (hopefully) last thread-unsafe function.
35 * liboping.c: Provide the TTL of received IP packets.
36 * oping.c: Allow setting of the TTL using the `-t' command line
37 option.
39 2009-02-17, Version 1.0.0
40 * oping.h: Provide the OPING_VERSION to easily determine the library's
41 version at compile time.
42 * liboping.c: Fixed an off-by-one error in `ping_iterator_get_info':
43 When determining the buffer size to hold the hostname, the function
44 would return one byte too little.
45 * liboping.c: Fix an incorrect assertion in `ping_timeval_add'. Thanks
46 to Alex Brooks for reporting the issue.
47 * liboping.c: Make sure `EAI_SYSTEM' is defined at compile time.
48 Although specified by POSIX, Cygwin apparently doesn't have it.
49 * liboping.c: Add compatibility code for AIX. Thanks to Doug
50 MacEachern for the patch.
51 * liboping.c: Store and possibly return the host name as provided by
52 the user.
53 * liboping.c: The number of timed out packets is now counted and can
54 be retrieved with `ping_iterator_get_info'.
55 * Perl bindings: The Net::Oping Perl package has been added to
56 bindings/ and is built along with liboping.
58 2007-03-27, Version 0.3.5
59 * liboping.c: Close the filedescriptor in `ping_free', not
60 `ping_host_remove'. Thanks to Esteban Sanchez for submitting this
61 patch.
62 * oping.h: Include <sys/types.h> so that `size_t' is defined. Thanks
63 to Alex Brooks for pointing this out.
64 * oping.h: Use `extern "C"' when being used with C++. Thanks to Alex
65 Brooks for pointing this out.
67 2006-12-01, Version 0.3.4
68 * Fixes a bug in `ping_host_remove': Due to an incorrect hostname
69 checking the wrong host would be removed.
71 2006-07-16, Version 0.3.3
72 * `sendto(2)' now catches `EHOSTUNREACH' and `ENETUNREACH' if they're
73 defined.
75 2006-07-13, Version 0.3.2
76 * `oping' now drops root privileges as soon as possible.
77 * `liboping' now contains an `soname' and a version.
79 2006-07-09, Version 0.3.1
80 * Removed `libltdl' from the distribution since it's not used.
81 * More nonsense has been removed from the build system. Thanks to
82 Sebastian Harl for pointing it out :)
84 2006-07-09, Version 0.3.0
85 * The ability to set the source address from which the packets
86 originate has been added to the library and the oping application.
88 2006-07-16, Version 0.2.3
89 * `sendto(2)' now catches `EHOSTUNREACH' and `ENETUNREACH' if they're
90 defined.
92 2006-06-05, Version 0.2.2
93 * The `oping' application didn't exit if no hosts could be resolved.
94 This release fixes it's behavior.
96 2006-06-01, Version 0.2.1
97 * Fix the behavior for non GNU-Linux systems. liboping tried to
98 `bind(2)' to the raw-socket it uses to send ICMP packets. Apparently
99 (decided by majority vote ;) this is not the right thing to do.
100 GNU/Linux never complained about it, but works find without the bind.
101 Other operating systems don't work at all with the bind.
102 * Build fixes for non-GNU/Linux platforms: Mac OS X doesn't define
103 `size_t' as `unsigned int' and therefore needs casting and FreeBSD
104 needs to have `sys/types.h' included before `netinet/*.h'
106 2006-05-29, Version 0.2.0
107 * It's now possible to set the data to be send to the remote host and
108 to get the data received from the host.
109 * The `oping' binary now calculates the standard deviation. Also, it
110 displays the number of byes that were received and other output
111 changes.
112 * Hosts are now returned in the same order as they were added by
113 `ping_host_add'. This is not guaranteed, but makes `oping' prettier.
115 2006-05-12, Version 0.1.1
116 * A bug in the library has been fixed: When the sequence got higher
117 than 2^16 the counter in the packets wrapped around, but the
118 internal counter didn't, causing the library to ignore all further
119 ICMP packets. This affected both, ICMPv4 and ICMPv6.
121 2006-05-08, Version 0.1.0
122 * Initial release.
