v1.4 Wed Dec 13 22:50:35 PST 2000
- Add an option to use icmp echo instead of udp datagrams.
- Add HPUX and Linux support.
- Handle hex argument values as suggested by John Hawkinson
(jhawk@mit.edu)
- Added flags to set the first ttl and to set the don't fragment bit.
- Add a local autoconf macro to check for routines in libraries; the
autoconf version is broken (it only puts the library name in the
cache variable name). Thanks to John Hawkinson.
- Add a local autoconf macro to check for types; the autoconf version
is broken (it uses grep instead of actually compiling a code fragment).
- Attempt to detect "egcs" versions of gcc.
- Fix problems caused by savestr().
- Detect when there are more interfaces than we can deal with. Thanks
to Guy Harris guy@netapp.com.
- Accommodate changes made to FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE network headers files.
- The ip header offset needs to be byte swapped under Solaris on the
intel as well. Reported by John McDermott (jjm@jkintl.com) Also byte
ip length and offset for linux.
- In wait_for_reply(), use passed socket instead of global one. Thanks
to Richard Kettlewell (richard.kettlewell@kewill.com)
- Check for IFF_LOOPBACK as a define or an enum (concession to linux).
Reported by Robert Bihlmeyer (robbe@orcus.priv.at)
- Increase size of SIOCGIFCONF buffer to accommodate systems with lots
of virtual interfaces. Ignore sun virtual interfaces. Suggested by
Ian Donaldson (iand@aone.com.au)
- Always calculate icmp checksums when using -I. Reported by Soumen
(sbiswas@novell.com)
- Documentation fix for description of -p. Thanks to Jeffrey C Honig
(jch@bsdi.com)
- Enable ip checksums for Solaris 2.6 and higher (since they seem to
work correctly now).
- Avoid problems when broken routers return 0.0.0.0 as their source
address. Thanks to John Hawkinson (jhawk@bbnplanet.com)
- Canonicalize hostname if gethostname() doesn't return a domain.
- Add -z flag (pause msecs) to allow optional pause between probes.
Suggested by Dave Morrison (drmorris@uplanet.com)
- Fix max packet length test.
- Use "/dev/null" instead of "." for file descriptor fodder.
Suggested by Tim Robbins (fyre@box3n.gumbynet.org)
- Watch for a NULL argv[0]. Suggested by Tim Robbins.
- Be careful with hostname legnths.
- Print RFC1191 Path MTU Discovery value on "needfrag" unreachables.
- Limit port size to 16 bits. Suggested by Tim Robbins.
- Limit wait time to 24 hours.
- Modified linux specific struct ipovly definition to avoid problems
with 64 bit systems. Problem reported by Uros Prestor
(uros@turbolinux.com)
- Use kernel routing tables to determine correct source address.
Three styles are supported: bsd/socket, solaris/mib and linux.
- Fix configure to recognize older versions of Solaris.
v1.3.2 Thu Sep 26 18:06:16 PDT 1996
- Rewrite source routing code to eliminate a number of problems on
systems using raw ip options. Also pad options with a noop so gateway
addresses are aligned.
- Don't call inet_ntoa() twice in the same printf(). Thanks to NetBSD
via Bill Fenner (fenner@parc.xerox.com)
- Decode "administratively prohibited filter" icmp code and print
numeric value for unknown codes. Thanks to Bill Fenner.
v1.3.1 Wed Sep 18 21:08:16 PDT 1996
- Some systems (e.g. AIX) need sys/select.h. Thanks to Brett Hogden
(hogden@rge.com)
- Byte swap ip header length under Solaris. (This has no effect on the
sparc but is required on the i386.)
- Made optional packet length control total size of packet.
v1.3 Mon Sep 16 14:55:44 PDT 1996
- Overrun buffer security fixes. Thanks to Bill Fenner
(fenner@parc.xerox.com)
- Wait for response packet relative to start of probe. Thanks to Bill
Fenner.
- Fix bug that prevented changing the packet size. Thanks to Gregory
Decker (gdecker@nate.dcrt.nih.gov)
- Add support for RAW_OPTIONS (e.g. 4.4 BSD systems such as BSD/OS and
FreeBSD) thanks to Jeffrey C Honig (jch@bsdi.com)
- Remove ip header byte swap fix from v1.2; most kernels swap the ip
header length in the kernel (and it causes OSF3 to crash).
- Fix to not exit when the number of probes is set to 1 (i.e. "-q 1")
- Improve autoconf configuration.
v1.2 Tue Oct 17 23:50:05 PDT 1995
- Convert to autoconf and ansify.
- Byte swap ip header length for little endian machines. Fix thanks to
Y Badri (yb@greybox.demon.co.uk).
v1.1 Thu Jun 15 02:32:55 PDT 1995
- Check for too many arguments.
- Recode to make timing of packet's round trip more obvious and to
tighten up code.
- Ifdef IP_OPTIONS code.
- Display time in microseconds.
v1.0 Tue Feb 28 23:50:05 PDT 1989
- Initial public release.
