1 2009-07-20, Version 1.3.1
2 * src/liboping.c: Fix too eager argument validation that prevented the
3 library to work as documented. Thanks to Sebastian for catching this
6 2009-07-18, Version 1.3.0
7 * oping: Documentation and messages have been improved.
8 * oping: Support for the `-D' command line option has been added.
9 Using this new option, the outgoing network device can be set.
10 Thanks to Sebastian Harl for the patch.
11 * src/liboping.c: The value of the `received TTL' information after
12 missing packets has been corrected.
13 * src/liboping.c: A bug when matching received packets to configured
14 hosts has been fixed. This regression was introduced after 1.0, we
15 believe. Thanks to Sebastian Harl for noticing and fixing this bug.
16 * src/liboping.c: Support for the `PING_OPT_DEVICE' option has been
17 added. This option can be used to set the outgoing network device.
18 Thanks to Sebastian for his patch.
20 2009-07-15, Version 1.2.0
21 * `oping': Implement the `-f' command line option to read hostnames
22 from a file (or STDIN).
23 * src/liboping.c: No longer export `sstrerror'.
25 2009-04-05, Version 1.1.2
26 * liboping.c: A NULL-pointer dereference has been fixed in the IPv4
27 code. This led to a segmentation fault when an ICMPv4 paket could
28 not be associated with any host. This usually happened when one or
29 more hosts were unreachable for some time. Thanks to Tomasz Pala for
30 discovering the problem and finding a way to reproduce it.
32 2009-03-23, Version 1.1.1
33 * liboping.c: Use libxnet when available. The `normal' version of
34 `recvmsg' does not provide the `auxiliary data' on some or all
37 2009-03-15, Version 1.1.0
38 * liboping.c: Eliminate the use of `strerror' and use `strerror_r'
39 instead, removing the (hopefully) last thread-unsafe function.
40 * liboping.c: Provide the TTL of received IP packets.
41 * oping.c: Allow setting of the TTL using the `-t' command line
44 2009-02-17, Version 1.0.0
45 * oping.h: Provide the OPING_VERSION to easily determine the library's
46 version at compile time.
47 * liboping.c: Fixed an off-by-one error in `ping_iterator_get_info':
48 When determining the buffer size to hold the hostname, the function
49 would return one byte too little.
50 * liboping.c: Fix an incorrect assertion in `ping_timeval_add'. Thanks
51 to Alex Brooks for reporting the issue.
52 * liboping.c: Make sure `EAI_SYSTEM' is defined at compile time.
53 Although specified by POSIX, Cygwin apparently doesn't have it.
54 * liboping.c: Add compatibility code for AIX. Thanks to Doug
55 MacEachern for the patch.
56 * liboping.c: Store and possibly return the host name as provided by
58 * liboping.c: The number of timed out packets is now counted and can
59 be retrieved with `ping_iterator_get_info'.
60 * Perl bindings: The Net::Oping Perl package has been added to
61 bindings/ and is built along with liboping.
63 2007-03-27, Version 0.3.5
64 * liboping.c: Close the filedescriptor in `ping_free', not
65 `ping_host_remove'. Thanks to Esteban Sanchez for submitting this
67 * oping.h: Include <sys/types.h> so that `size_t' is defined. Thanks
68 to Alex Brooks for pointing this out.
69 * oping.h: Use `extern "C"' when being used with C++. Thanks to Alex
70 Brooks for pointing this out.
72 2006-12-01, Version 0.3.4
73 * Fixes a bug in `ping_host_remove': Due to an incorrect hostname
74 checking the wrong host would be removed.
76 2006-07-16, Version 0.3.3
77 * `sendto(2)' now catches `EHOSTUNREACH' and `ENETUNREACH' if they're
80 2006-07-13, Version 0.3.2
81 * `oping' now drops root privileges as soon as possible.
82 * `liboping' now contains an `soname' and a version.
84 2006-07-09, Version 0.3.1
85 * Removed `libltdl' from the distribution since it's not used.
86 * More nonsense has been removed from the build system. Thanks to
87 Sebastian Harl for pointing it out :)
89 2006-07-09, Version 0.3.0
90 * The ability to set the source address from which the packets
91 originate has been added to the library and the oping application.
93 2006-07-16, Version 0.2.3
94 * `sendto(2)' now catches `EHOSTUNREACH' and `ENETUNREACH' if they're
97 2006-06-05, Version 0.2.2
98 * The `oping' application didn't exit if no hosts could be resolved.
99 This release fixes it's behavior.
101 2006-06-01, Version 0.2.1
102 * Fix the behavior for non GNU-Linux systems. liboping tried to
103 `bind(2)' to the raw-socket it uses to send ICMP packets. Apparently
104 (decided by majority vote ;) this is not the right thing to do.
105 GNU/Linux never complained about it, but works find without the bind.
106 Other operating systems don't work at all with the bind.
107 * Build fixes for non-GNU/Linux platforms: Mac OS X doesn't define
108 `size_t' as `unsigned int' and therefore needs casting and FreeBSD
109 needs to have `sys/types.h' included before `netinet/*.h'
111 2006-05-29, Version 0.2.0
112 * It's now possible to set the data to be send to the remote host and
113 to get the data received from the host.
114 * The `oping' binary now calculates the standard deviation. Also, it
115 displays the number of byes that were received and other output
117 * Hosts are now returned in the same order as they were added by
118 `ping_host_add'. This is not guaranteed, but makes `oping' prettier.
120 2006-05-12, Version 0.1.1
121 * A bug in the library has been fixed: When the sequence got higher
122 than 2^16 the counter in the packets wrapped around, but the
123 internal counter didn't, causing the library to ignore all further
124 ICMP packets. This affected both, ICMPv4 and ICMPv6.
