Thanks to John Hawkinson. 18 19 - Add a local autoconf macro to check for types; the autoconf version 20 is broken (it uses grep instead of actually compiling a code fragment). 21 22 - Attempt to detect "egcs" versions of gcc. 23 24 - Fix problems caused by savestr(). 25 26 - Detect when there are more interfaces than we can deal with. Thanks 27 to Guy Harris guy (a] netapp.com. 28 29 - Accommodate changes made to FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE network headers files. 30 31 - The ip header offset needs to be byte swapped under Solaris on the 32 intel as well. Reported by John McDermott (jjm (a] jkintl.com) Also byte 33 ip length and offset for linux. 34 35 - In wait_for_reply(), use passed socket instead of global one. Thanks 36 to Richard Kettlewell (richard.kettlewell (a] kewill.com) 37 38 - Check for IFF_LOOPBACK as a define or an enum (concession to linux). 39 Reported by Robert Bihlmeyer (robbe (a] orcus.priv.at) 40 41 - Increase size of SIOCGIFCONF buffer to accommodate systems with lots 42 of virtual interfaces. Ignore sun virtual interfaces. Suggested by 43 Ian Donaldson (iand (a] aone.com.au) 44 45 - Always calculate icmp checksums when using -I. Reported by Soumen 46 (sbiswas (a] novell.com) 47 48 - Documentation fix for description of -p. Thanks to Jeffrey C Honig 49 (jch (a] bsdi.com) 50 51 - Enable ip checksums for Solaris 2.6 and higher (since they seem to 52 work correctly now). 53 54 - Avoid problems when broken routers return 0.0.0.0 as their source 55 address. Thanks to John Hawkinson (jhawk (a] bbnplanet.com) 56 57 - Canonicalize hostname if gethostname() doesn't return a domain. 58 59 - Add -z flag (pause msecs) to allow optional pause between probes. 60 Suggested by Dave Morrison (drmorris (a] uplanet.com) 61 62 - Fix max packet length test. 63 64 - Use "/dev/null" instead of "." for file descriptor fodder. 65 Suggested by Tim Robbins (fyre (a] box3n.gumbynet.org) 66 67 - Watch for a NULL argv[0]. Suggested by Tim Robbins. 68 69 - Be careful with hostname legnths. 70 71 - Print RFC1191 Path MTU Discovery value on "needfrag" unreachables. 72 73 - Limit port size to 16 bits. Suggested by Tim Robbins. 74 75 - Limit wait time to 24 hours. 76 77 - Modified linux specific struct ipovly definition to avoid problems 78 with 64 bit systems. Problem reported by Uros Prestor 79 (uros (a] turbolinux.com) 80 81 - Use kernel routing tables to determine correct source address. 82 Three styles are supported: bsd/socket, solaris/mib and linux. 83 84 - Fix configure to recognize older versions of Solaris. 85 86 v1.3.2 Thu Sep 26 18:06:16 PDT 1996 87 88 - Rewrite source routing code to eliminate a number of problems on 89 systems using raw ip options. Also pad options with a noop so gateway 90 addresses are aligned. 91 92 - Don't call inet_ntoa() twice in the same printf(). Thanks to NetBSD 93 via Bill Fenner (fenner (a] parc.xerox.com) 94 95 - Decode "administratively prohibited filter" icmp code and print 96 numeric value for unknown codes. Thanks to Bill Fenner. 97 98 v1.3.1 Wed Sep 18 21:08:16 PDT 1996 99 100 - Some systems (e.g. AIX) need sys/select.h. Thanks to Brett Hogden 101 (hogden (a] rge.com) 102 103 - Byte swap ip header length under Solaris. (This has no effect on the 104 sparc but is required on the i386.) 105 106 - Made optional packet length control total size of packet. 107 108 v1.3 Mon Sep 16 14:55:44 PDT 1996 109 110 - Overrun buffer security fixes. Thanks to Bill Fenner 111 (fenner (a] parc.xerox.com) 112 113 - Wait for response packet relative to start of probe. Thanks to Bill 114 Fenner. 115 116 - Fix bug that prevented changing the packet size. Thanks to Gregory 117 Decker (gdecker (a] nate.dcrt.nih.gov) 118 119 - Add support for RAW_OPTIONS (e.g. 4.4 BSD systems such as BSD/OS and 120 FreeBSD) thanks to Jeffrey C Honig (jch (a] bsdi.com) 121 122 - Remove ip header byte swap fix from v1.2; most kernels swap the ip 123 header length in the kernel (and it causes OSF3 to crash). 124 125 - Fix to not exit when the number of probes is set to 1 (i.e. "-q 1") 126 127 - Improve autoconf configuration. 128 129 v1.2 Tue Oct 17 23:50:05 PDT 1995 130 131 - Convert to autoconf and ansify. 132 133 - Byte swap ip header length for little endian machines. Fix thanks to 134 Y Badri (yb (a] greybox.demon.co.uk). 135 136 v1.1 Thu Jun 15 02:32:55 PDT 1995 137 138 - Check for too many arguments. 139 140 - Recode to make timing of packet's round trip more obvious and to 141 tighten up code. 142 143 - Ifdef IP_OPTIONS code. 144 145 - Display time in microseconds. 146 147 v1.0 Tue Feb 28 23:50:05 PDT 1989 148 149 - Initial public release. 150
