139 headers
140 Do filtering on USB and Bluetooth capturing

182 On Linux, scan /sys/class/net for devices if we have it; scan
183 it, or /proc/net/dev if we don't have /sys/class/net, even if
184 we have getifaddrs(), as it'll find interfaces with no
185 addresses

196 errors, and check for the errors in question.
197 Note that poll() works on BPF devices is Snow Leopard
198 If an ENXIO or ENETDOWN is received, it may mean the device has
199 gone away. Deal with it.
200 For BPF, raise the default capture buffer size to from 32k to 512k

253 Better support for dealing with VLAN tagging/stripping on Linux
254 Fix dynamic library support on OSX
255 Return PCAP_ERROR_IFACE_NOT_UP if the interface isn't 'UP', so applications
256 can print better diagnostic information
257 Return PCAP_ERROR_PERM_DENIED if we don't have permission to open a device, so
258 applications can tell the user they need to go play with permissions
259 On Linux, ignore ENETDOWN so we can continue to capture packets if the
260 interface goes down and comes back up again.
261 On Linux, support new tpacket frame headers (2.6.27+)

307 Fixes in add_or_find_if() & pcap_findalldevs() to optimize generating
308 device lists

405Tuesday January 9, 2001. guy@alum.mit.edu. Summary for 0.6 release
406
407 New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
408 kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
409 filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
410 device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous
411 mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
412 (handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
413 doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).
414
415 Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
416 an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.
417
418 libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values
419 in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_
420 values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between
421 different OSes.
422
423 Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g.
424 the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read.
425
426 Updated autoconf stock files.
427
428 Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
429 protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
430 packets).
431
432 "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
433 to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.
434
435 Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.
436
437 Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout.
438 Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.
439
440 Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
441 with snprintf.
442
443 Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
444 erroneously after one compile failed.
445
446 Assorted other bug fixes.
447
448 README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
449 platform-specific issues.
450
451 "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.
452
453v0.5 Sat Jun 10 11:09:15 PDT 2000

462Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>
463- Building outside the source code tree fixed.
464- Changed to write out time stamps with 32-bit seconds and microseconds
465 fields, regardless of whether those fields are 32 bits or 64 bits in
466 the OS's native "struct timeval".
467- Changed "pcap_lookupdev()" to dynamically grow the buffer into which
468 the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the
469 entire list.
470
471Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com>
472- Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter

474 capture file.

548
549- Fixed Linux networking include files to use ints instead of longs to
550 avoid problems with 64 bit longs on the alpha. Thanks to Cristian

692
693- Fix two bugs related to the Solaris pre-5.3.2 bufmod bug; handle
694 savefiles that have more than snapshot bytes of data in them (so we
695 can read old savefiles) and avoid writing such files.
696
697- Added checkioctl which is used with gcc to check that the
698 "fixincludes" script has been run.
699
