1 2009-07-27, Version 1.3.2:
2 * src/oping.h: Remove `HAVE_*_H' macros for system headers. Those
3 macros should not be used in system wide installed header files.
4 Thanks to Sebastian for fixing this.
6 2009-07-20, Version 1.3.1
7 * src/liboping.c: Fix too eager argument validation that prevented the
8 library to work as documented. Thanks to Sebastian for catching this
9 bug.
11 2009-07-18, Version 1.3.0
12 * oping: Documentation and messages have been improved.
13 * oping: Support for the `-D' command line option has been added.
14 Using this new option, the outgoing network device can be set.
15 Thanks to Sebastian Harl for the patch.
16 * src/liboping.c: The value of the `received TTL' information after
17 missing packets has been corrected.
18 * src/liboping.c: A bug when matching received packets to configured
19 hosts has been fixed. This regression was introduced after 1.0, we
20 believe. Thanks to Sebastian Harl for noticing and fixing this bug.
21 * src/liboping.c: Support for the `PING_OPT_DEVICE' option has been
22 added. This option can be used to set the outgoing network device.
23 Thanks to Sebastian for his patch.
25 2009-07-15, Version 1.2.0
26 * `oping': Implement the `-f' command line option to read hostnames
27 from a file (or STDIN).
28 * src/liboping.c: No longer export `sstrerror'.
30 2009-04-05, Version 1.1.2
31 * liboping.c: A NULL-pointer dereference has been fixed in the IPv4
32 code. This led to a segmentation fault when an ICMPv4 paket could
33 not be associated with any host. This usually happened when one or
34 more hosts were unreachable for some time. Thanks to Tomasz Pala for
35 discovering the problem and finding a way to reproduce it.
37 2009-03-23, Version 1.1.1
38 * liboping.c: Use libxnet when available. The `normal' version of
39 `recvmsg' does not provide the `auxiliary data' on some or all
40 versions of Solaris.
42 2009-03-15, Version 1.1.0
43 * liboping.c: Eliminate the use of `strerror' and use `strerror_r'
44 instead, removing the (hopefully) last thread-unsafe function.
45 * liboping.c: Provide the TTL of received IP packets.
46 * oping.c: Allow setting of the TTL using the `-t' command line
47 option.
49 2009-02-17, Version 1.0.0
50 * oping.h: Provide the OPING_VERSION to easily determine the library's
51 version at compile time.
52 * liboping.c: Fixed an off-by-one error in `ping_iterator_get_info':
53 When determining the buffer size to hold the hostname, the function
54 would return one byte too little.
55 * liboping.c: Fix an incorrect assertion in `ping_timeval_add'. Thanks
56 to Alex Brooks for reporting the issue.
57 * liboping.c: Make sure `EAI_SYSTEM' is defined at compile time.
58 Although specified by POSIX, Cygwin apparently doesn't have it.
59 * liboping.c: Add compatibility code for AIX. Thanks to Doug
60 MacEachern for the patch.
61 * liboping.c: Store and possibly return the host name as provided by
62 the user.
63 * liboping.c: The number of timed out packets is now counted and can
64 be retrieved with `ping_iterator_get_info'.
65 * Perl bindings: The Net::Oping Perl package has been added to
66 bindings/ and is built along with liboping.
68 2007-03-27, Version 0.3.5
69 * liboping.c: Close the filedescriptor in `ping_free', not
70 `ping_host_remove'. Thanks to Esteban Sanchez for submitting this
71 patch.
72 * oping.h: Include <sys/types.h> so that `size_t' is defined. Thanks
73 to Alex Brooks for pointing this out.
74 * oping.h: Use `extern "C"' when being used with C++. Thanks to Alex
75 Brooks for pointing this out.
77 2006-12-01, Version 0.3.4
78 * Fixes a bug in `ping_host_remove': Due to an incorrect hostname
79 checking the wrong host would be removed.
81 2006-07-16, Version 0.3.3
82 * `sendto(2)' now catches `EHOSTUNREACH' and `ENETUNREACH' if they're
83 defined.
85 2006-07-13, Version 0.3.2
86 * `oping' now drops root privileges as soon as possible.
87 * `liboping' now contains an `soname' and a version.
89 2006-07-09, Version 0.3.1
90 * Removed `libltdl' from the distribution since it's not used.
91 * More nonsense has been removed from the build system. Thanks to
92 Sebastian Harl for pointing it out :)
94 2006-07-09, Version 0.3.0
95 * The ability to set the source address from which the packets
96 originate has been added to the library and the oping application.
98 2006-07-16, Version 0.2.3
99 * `sendto(2)' now catches `EHOSTUNREACH' and `ENETUNREACH' if they're
100 defined.
102 2006-06-05, Version 0.2.2
103 * The `oping' application didn't exit if no hosts could be resolved.
104 This release fixes it's behavior.
106 2006-06-01, Version 0.2.1
107 * Fix the behavior for non GNU-Linux systems. liboping tried to
108 `bind(2)' to the raw-socket it uses to send ICMP packets. Apparently
109 (decided by majority vote ;) this is not the right thing to do.
110 GNU/Linux never complained about it, but works find without the bind.
111 Other operating systems don't work at all with the bind.
112 * Build fixes for non-GNU/Linux platforms: Mac OS X doesn't define
113 `size_t' as `unsigned int' and therefore needs casting and FreeBSD
114 needs to have `sys/types.h' included before `netinet/*.h'
116 2006-05-29, Version 0.2.0
117 * It's now possible to set the data to be send to the remote host and
118 to get the data received from the host.
119 * The `oping' binary now calculates the standard deviation. Also, it
120 displays the number of byes that were received and other output
121 changes.
122 * Hosts are now returned in the same order as they were added by
123 `ping_host_add'. This is not guaranteed, but makes `oping' prettier.
125 2006-05-12, Version 0.1.1
126 * A bug in the library has been fixed: When the sequence got higher
127 than 2^16 the counter in the packets wrapped around, but the
128 internal counter didn't, causing the library to ignore all further
129 ICMP packets. This affected both, ICMPv4 and ICMPv6.
131 2006-05-08, Version 0.1.0
132 * Initial release.
