85
86- Hardwire Linux slip support since it's too hard to detect.
87
88- Redo configuration of "network" libraries (-lsocket and -lnsl) to
89  deal with IRIX. Thanks to John Hawkinson (jhawk@mit.edu)
90

92  names. Suggested by Rob van Nieuwkerk (robn@verdi.et.tudelft.nl)
93
94- Added a configure option to disable gcc.
95
96- Added a "raw" packet printer.
97

123  autoconf version is broken (it only puts the library name in the
124  cache variable name). Thanks to John Hawkinson.
125
126- Add a local autoconf macro to check for types; the autoconf version
127  is broken (it uses grep instead of actually compiling a code fragment).
128

130  formats.
131
132- Extend OSF ip header workaround to versions 1 and 2.

179  Bill Fenner (fenner@parc.xerox.com)
180
181- Use autoconf endian detection since BYTE_ORDER isn't defined on all systems.
182
183- Fix dvmrp printer truncation checks and add a dvmrp probe printer.
184  Thanks to Danny J. Mitzel (mitzel@ipsilon.com)
185
186- Rewrite ospf printer to improve truncation checks.
187
188- Don't parse tcp options past the EOL. As noted by David Sacerdote
189  (davids@secnet.com). Also, check tcp options to make sure they ar
190  actually in the tcp header (in addition to the normal truncation
191  checks). Fix the SACK code to print the N blocks (instead of the
192  first block N times).
193
194- Don't say really small UDP packets are truncated just because they
195  aren't big enough to be a RPC. As noted by David Sacerdote.
196

223  Thanks to John Hawkinson.
224
225- Added some more packet truncation checks.
226
227- On systems that have it, use sigset() instead of signal() since

246- Print IPX net numbers in hex a la Novell Netware. Thanks to Terry
247  Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu)
248
249- Fixed snmp extended tag field parsing bug. Thanks to Pascal Hennequin
250  (pascal.hennequin@hugo.int-evry.fr)

280  types.
281
282- Added RIP V2 support. Thanks to Jeffrey Honig (jch@bsdi.com)
283
284- Added T/TCP options printing. As suggested by Richard Stevens
285  (rstevens@noao.edu)
286
287- Use autoconf to detect architectures that can't handle misaligned
288  accesses.
289
290v3.1 Thu Jun 13 20:59:32 PDT 1996
291
292- Changed u_int32/int32 to u_int32_t/int32_t to be consistent with bsd
293  and bind (as suggested by Charles Hannum).
294
295- Port to GNU autoconf.
296

313  (cslater@imatek.com).
314
315- Check return status from malloc/calloc/etc.
316
317- Check return status from pcap_loop() so we can print an error and
318  exit with a bad status if there were problems.
319
320- Bail if ip option length is <= 0. Resulted from a bug report from
321  Darren Reed (darrenr@vitruvius.arbld.unimelb.edu.au).

356  2.3.
357
358- Fix etheraddr_string() in the ETHER_SERVICE to return the saved
359  strings, not the local buffer. Thanks to Stefan Petri
360  (petri@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de).
361
362- Detect when pcap raises the snaplen (e.g. with snit). Print a warning

369
370v3.0.3 Sun Oct  1 18:35:00 GMT 1995
371
372- Although there never was a 3.0.3 release, the linux boys cleverly
373  "released" one in late 1995.
374
375v3.0.2 Thu Apr 20 21:28:16 PDT 1995
376
377- Change configuration to not use gcc v2 flags with gcc v1.
378
379- Redo gmt2local() so that it works under BSDI (which seems to return
380  an empty timezone struct from gettimeofday()). Based on report from
381  Terry Kennedy (terry@spcvxa.spc.edu).
382
383- Change configure to recognize IP[0-9]* as "mips" SGI hardware. Based
384  on report from Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
385
386- Don't pass cc flags to gcc. Resulted from a bug report from Rainer
387  Orth (ro@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).
388
389- Fixed printout of connection id for uncompressed tcp slip packets.
390  Resulted from a bug report from Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu).
391

393
394- Add ETHERTYPE_TRAIL define which is missing from irix5.
395
396v3.0.1 Wed Aug 31 22:42:26 PDT 1994
397
398- Fix problems with gcc2 vs. malloc() and read() prototypes under SunOS 4.
399
400v3.0 Mon Jun 20 19:23:27 PDT 1994
401
402- Added support for printing tcp option timestamps thanks to
403  Mark Andrews (mandrews@alias.com).
404
405- Reorganize protocol dumpers to take const pointers to packets so they
406  never change the contents (i.e., they used to do endian conversions
407  in place).  Previously, whenever more than one pass was taken over
408  the packet, the packet contents would be dumped incorrectly (i.e.,
409  the output form -x would be wrong on little endian machines because
410  the protocol dumpers would modify the data).  Thanks to Charles Hannum
411  (mycroft@gnu.ai.mit.edu) for reporting this problem.
412
413- Added support for decnet protocol dumping thanks to Jeff Mogul
414  (mogul@pa.dec.com).
415
416- Fix bug that caused length of packet to be incorrectly printed
417  (off by ether header size) for unknown ethernet types thanks
418  to Greg Miller (gmiller@kayak.mitre.org).
419
420- Added support for IPX protocol dumping thanks to Brad Parker
421  (brad@fcr.com).
422
423- Added check to verify IP header checksum under -v thanks to
424  Brad Parker (brad@fcr.com).
425
426- Move packet capture code to new libpcap library (which is
427  packaged separately).
428
429- Prototype everything and assume an ansi compiler.
430
431- print-arp.c: Print hardware ethernet addresses if they're not
432  what we expect.
433
434- print-bootp.c: Decode the cmu vendor field. Add RFC1497 tags.
435  Many helpful suggestions from Gordon Ross (gwr@jericho.mc.com).
436
437- print-fddi.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
438  (mogul@pa.dec.com).
439
440- print-icmp.c: Byte swap netmask before printing. Thanks to
441  Richard Stevens (rstevens@noao.edu). Print icmp type when unknown.
442
443- print-ip.c: Print the inner ip datagram of ip-in-ip encapsulated packets.
444  By default, only the inner packet is dumped, appended with the token
445  "(encap)".  Under -v, both the inner and output packets are dumped
446  (on the same line).  Note that the filter applies to the original packet,
447  not the encapsulated packet.  So if you run tcpdump on a net with an
448  IP Multicast tunnel, you cannot filter out the datagrams using the
449  conventional syntax.  (You can filter away all the ip-in-ip traffic
450  with "not ip proto 4".)
451
452- print-nfs.c: Keep pending rpc's in circular table. Add generic
453  nfs header and remove os dependences. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
454
455- print-ospf.c: Improvements. Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul.
456
457- tcpdump.c: Add -T flag allows interpretation of "vat", "wb", "rpc"
458  (sunrpc) and rtp packets. Added "inbound" and "outbound" keywords
459  Add && and || operators
460
461v2.2.1 Tue Jun 6 17:57:22 PDT 1992
462
463- Fix bug with -c flag.
464
465v2.2 Fri May 22 17:19:41 PDT 1992
466
467- savefile.c: Remove hack that shouldn't have been exported. Add
468  truncate checks.
469
470- Added the 'icmp' keyword.  For example, 'icmp[0] != 8 and icmp[0] != 0'
471  matches non-echo/reply ICMP packets.
472
473- Many improvements to filter code optimizer.
474
475- Added 'multicast' keyword and extended the 'broadcast' keyword can now be
476  so that protocol qualifications are allowed. For example, "ip broadcast"
477  and "ether multicast" are valid filters.
478
479- Added support for monitoring the loopback interface (i.e. 'tcpdump -i lo').
480  Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) contributed the kernel
481  patches to netinet/if_loop.c.
482
483- Added support for the Ungermann-Bass Ethernet on IBM/PC-RTs running AOS.
484  Contact Jeffrey Honig (jch@MITCHELL.CIT.CORNELL.EDU) for the diffs.
485
486- Added EGP and OSPF printers, thanks to Jeffrey Honig.
487
488v2.1 Tue Jan 28 11:00:14 PST 1992
489
490- Internal release (never publically exported).
491
492v2.0.1 Sun Jan 26 21:10:10 PDT
493
494- Various byte ordering fixes.
495
496- Add truncation checks.
497
498- inet.c: Support BSD style SIOCGIFCONF.
499
500- nametoaddr.c: Handle multi addresses for single host.
501
502- optimize.c: Rewritten.
503
504- pcap-bpf.c: don't choke when we get ptraced. only set promiscuous
505  for broadcast nets.
506
507- print-atal.c: Fix an alignment bug (thanks to
508  stanonik@nprdc.navy.mil) Add missing printf() argument.
509
510- print-bootp.c: First attempt at decoding the vendor buffer.
511
512- print-domain.c: Fix truncation checks.
513
514- print-icmp.c: Calculate length of packets from the ip header.
515
516- print-ip.c: Print frag id in decimal (so it's easier to match up
517  with non-frags). Add support for ospf, egp and igmp.
518
519- print-nfs.c: Lots of changes.
520
521- print-ntp.c: Make some verbose output depend on -v.
522
523- print-snmp.c: New version from John LoVerso.
524
525- print-tcp.c: Print rfc1072 tcp options.
526
527- tcpdump.c: Print "0x" prefix for %x formats. Always print 6 digits
528  (microseconds) worth of precision. Fix uid bugs.
529
530- A packet dumper has been added (thanks to Jeff Mogul of DECWRL).
531  With this option, you can create an architecture independent binary
532  trace file in real time, without the overhead of the packet printer.
533  At a later time, the packets can be filtered (again) and printed.
534
535- BSD is supported.  You must have BPF in your kernel.
536  Since the filtering is now done in the kernel, fewer packets are
537  dropped.  In fact, with BPF and the packet dumper option, a measly
538  Sun 3/50 can keep up with a busy network.
539
540- Compressed SLIP packets can now be dumped, provided you use our
541  SLIP software and BPF.  These packets are dumped as any other IP
542  packet; the compressed headers are dumped with the '-e' option.
543
544- Machines with little-endian byte ordering are supported (thanks to
545  Jeff Mogul).
546
547- Ultrix 4.0 is supported (also thanks to Jeff Mogul).
548
549- IBM RT and Stanford Enetfilter support has been added by
550  Rayan Zachariassen <rayan@canet.ca>.  Tcpdump has been tested under
551  both the vanilla Enetfilter interface, and the extended interface
552  (#ifdef'd by IBMRTPC) present in the MERIT version of the Enetfilter.
553
554- TFTP packets are now printed (requests only).
555
556- BOOTP packets are now printed.
557
558- SNMP packets are now printed. (thanks to John LoVerso of Xylogics).
559
560- Sparc architectures, including the Sparcstation-1, are now
561  supported thanks to Steve McCanne and Craig Leres.
562
563- SunOS 4 is now supported thanks to Micky Liu of Columbia
564  University (micky@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu).
565
566- IP options are now printed.
567
568- RIP packets are now printed.
569
570- There's a -v flag that prints out more information than the
571  default (e.g., it will enable printing of IP ttl, tos and id)
572  and -q flag that prints out less (e.g., it will disable
573  interpretation of AppleTalk-in-UDP).
574
575- The grammar has undergone substantial changes (if you have an
576  earlier version of tcpdump, you should re-read the manual
577  entry).
578
579  The most useful change is the addition of an expression
580  syntax that lets you filter on arbitrary fields or values in the
581  packet.  E.g., "ip[0] > 0x45" would print only packets with IP
582  options, "tcp[13] & 3 != 0" would print only TCP SYN and FIN
583  packets.
584
585  The most painful change is that concatenation no longer means
586  "and" -- e.g., you have to say "host foo and port bar" instead
587  of "host foo port bar".  The up side to this down is that
588  repeated qualifiers can be omitted, making most filter
589  expressions shorter.  E.g., you can now say "ip host foo and
590  (bar or baz)" to look at ip traffic between hosts foo and bar or
591  between hosts foo and baz.  [The old way of saying this was "ip
592  host foo and (ip host bar or ip host baz)".]
