        mechanism is not present, in the hopes that, for example,
        attempts to capture on Windows Services for Linux 1, in which
        the NT kernel attempts to simulate Linux system calls but does
        not support packet sockets, can get an error that better
        indicates the underlying problem.
    AirPcap:

      Fix count of dropped packets.

        file:// URL with a path to a directory that cannot be opened.

      Improved tests and error reporting for uses of pkg-config, and
        improve help message.
      Fix Haiku build.
      With CMake, install headers in CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR rather
        than just include.
      Build libpcap.a before building test programs.
      Print address family numerically, as well as symbolically,
        in findalldevstest.
      Fail with suggestions, rather than failing over to no capture
        support, if no capture mechanism was found.  Fixes issue #1016.
      Don't indent comments in Make, as that may cause them not to be
        recognized as comments.
      Don't check for libssl if we aren't going to use it.

      Put PFLOG UID and PID values in the header into host byte order
        when reading a LINKTYPE_PFLOG file.
      Put CAN ID field in CAN pseudo-headers for LINUX_SLL2, as we do

      Npcap is now at npcap.com, not npcap.org.
      Make sure "no such device" and "no permission to open device"
        errors show up in pcap_activate(), not pcap_create() (fixes,

        (issue #1112).

    Packet filtering:
      Fix "type XXX subtype YYY" giving a parse error
    Source code:
      Add PCAP_AVAILABLE_1_11.
    Building and testing:
      Rename struct bpf_aux_data to avoid NetBSD compile errors
      Squelch some compiler warnings
      Squelch some Bison warnings
      Fix cross-builds with older kernels lacking BPF_MOD and BPF_XOR
      Fix Bison detection for minor version 0.
      Fix parallel build with FreeBSD make.
      Get DLT_MATCHING_MAX right in gencode.c on NetBSD.
      Define timeradd() and timersub() if necessary.
      Fix Cygwin/MSYS target directories.
      Fix symlinking with DESTDIR.
      Fix generation of libpcap.pc with CMake when not building a shared
          library.
      Check for Arm64 as well as x86-64 when looking for packet.lib on
          Windows.
    Documentation:
      Refine Markdown in README.md.
      Improve the description of portrange in filters.
      README.linux.md isn't Markdown, rename it just README.linux.
    pcapng:
      Support reading version 1.2, which some writers produce, and which
          is the same as 1.0 (some new block types were added, but
          that's not sufficient reason to bump the minor version number,
          as code that understands those new block types can handle them
          in a 1.0 file)
    Linux:
      Drop support for text-mode USB captures, as we require a 2.6.27
          or later kernel (credit to Chaoyuan Peng for noting the
          sscanf vulnerabilities in the text-mode code that got me to
          realize that we didn't need this code any more)
      Bluetooth: fix non-blocking mode.
      Don't assume that all compilers used to build for Linux support
          the __atomic builtins
    Windows:
      Add more information in "interface disappeared" error messages, in
        the hopes of trying to figure out the cause.
      Treat ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED as "device was removed".
      Indicate in the error message which "device was removed" error
          occurred.
      Report the Windows error status if PacketSendPacket() fails.
      Use %lu for ULONGs in error message formats.
      Don't treat the inability to find airpcap.dll as an error.
      Ignore spurious error reports by Microsoft Surface mobile
          telephony modem driver
    rpcap:
      Clean up error checking and error messages for server address
          lookup.

Tuesday January 9, 2001. guy (a] alum.mit.edu. Summary for 0.6 release

	New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
	kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
	filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
	device for capturing on all interfaces.  Cleans up promiscuous
	mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
	(handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
	doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).

	Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
	an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.

	libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values
	in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_
	values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between
	different OSes.

	Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g.
	the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read.

	Updated autoconf stock files.

	Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
	protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
	packets).

	"pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
	to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.

	Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.

itojun (a] iijlab.net
- Brought in KAME IPv6/IPsec bpf compiler.
- Fixes for NetBSD.
- Support added for OpenBSD DLT_LOOP and BSD/OS DLT_C_HDLC (Cisco HDLC),

  with the same numeric value.

Assar Westerlund  <assar (a] sics.se>
- Building outside the source code tree fixed.
- Changed to write out time stamps with 32-bit seconds and microseconds
  fields, regardless of whether those fields are 32 bits or 64 bits in
  the OS's native "struct timeval".

  the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the
  entire list.
