-v1.42
- o rewrote the entire configure.in/config.h.in to autoconf 2.57
- to be more consistent with normal autoconf'd programs.
- corrects bugs around packaging impediments and typos.
-
- o improved privilege dropping code and added more options to
- configure to govern its behaviour
-
- o added flag to turn off privilege revocation logic
-
- o added multiline match as default and ability to enforce
- previous default single-line match (bugfix + feature)
-
- o added ability to read bpf filter expression from file
-
- o added ability to force the column width to a certain size
-
- o added two new output modes: ``byline'', whose output
- respects embedded carriage returns (useful for http dumps),
- and ``none'', which prints out each dump as a single line no
- matter what.
-
- o added ability to specify alternate nonprintable character
- (default is ``.'').
-
- o made ``-q'' effects more consistent and usable for scenarios
- where ``-I'' and/or ``-O'' are being employed
-
- o documentation updated
-
-v1.41
- o added -S (set limitlen)
- o added LOOP and SLL tests for portability/old libpcap'en
- o added configure --safe-user and dropprivs code
- o added TCP ECN congestion header recognition
- o improved support for a few OSes
- o relaxed some restrictions in the license (COPYRIGHT -> LICENSE)
- o 802.11 support
-
-v1.40.1
- o MacOS X support
- o ISDN (SLL) support
- o OpenBSD tun device support
- o updated configure.in to support specifying pcap directory
- o updated config.sub and config.guess
- o added scripts/multi.pl, parallel ngrep perl script
- o very minor change to documentation
-
-v1.40
- o license change, amends the BSD advertising clause
- o fixed bug from not considering caplen in payload length
- calculations
- o added -s (set bpf caplen)
- o fixed header include for linux glibc 2.2 (time.h wasn't
- being included)
-
-v1.39.2
- o typographical error, -p works now
-
-v1.39.1
- o added in AIX includes
- o added BSD* includes for display updates
- o added -p (don't go into promiscuous mode)
-
-v1.39
- o in standard match mode, the display now updates when window
- sizes change
- o configure now gives the user the option to compile with the
- pcre library, which is more license-friendly (albeit slower)
- o fixed minor bug in date printing with -t
- o added configure option '--without-restart', which will
- remove the pcap restart API call. Newer versions of libpcap
- don't need it, and on certain platforms the API call
- segfaults.
- o win32: compiled with winpcap's pcap.h, which apparently
- breaks the pcap standard and introduces its own data link
- layer types. fixes the 'unsupported interface' error folks
- sometimes got when used with a 100bT adapter
-
-v1.38
- o binary matching
- o windows compilation support
- o 64-bit clean patch to regex.c
- o dump and replay pcap_dump files
- o officially licensed under the BSD license
- o normal and diff/delta timestamps
-
-v1.37
- o added FDDI support
-
-v1.36
- o added -l (line buffer stdout)
- o a few optimizations were made to shave off some cpu cycles
- spent on processing each packet
- o fixed bug where the blank regex algorithm wasn't even being
- used
- o fixed bug in blank regex algorithm that was preventing '-n'
- from working
- o change to compile on LinuxPPC
- o change to nix potential warnings on other OSes
- o change to not exit if pcap_lookupnet fails
-
-v1.35
- o appears that the release of 1.34 had only one of the
- match optimizations: somehow only the tcp match was updated;
- udp change was omitted. fixed.
- o moved -v (version) to -V
- o added -v (grep -v), invert match
- o added -d lo (null linktype)
- o added ability to match proto icmp
- o updated configure.in to handle old installations of pcap
- more gracefully (i.e. continue on by adding the necessary
- defines and just gripe)
-
-v1.34
- o merged in patch from Andrew W. Flury <aflury@nas.nasa.gov>
- for hex printing, made minor modification to patch to not
- print off the end of the buffer
- o added an optimization for the case where no regex was
- specified; should account for a little speed up
-
-v1.33
- o fragment changes, this should be it
-
-v1.32
- o switched around regex -w/-i logic
- o fragment bugfixes
-
-v1.31

-
- o bugfix: wasn't malloc'ing enough for word_regex
- o bugfix: case-insensitive was tolower()ing the word_regex
- itself
-

- o added -e (show empty)
- o one or two safe, preemptive changes catching possible int
- overflows
-
-v1.28
-
- o added -n
- o no required arguments anymore
- o regex's are not required anymore, can just be bpf logic
- o probably a bugfix or two

+
+v1.43
+
+ o healed the win32 code fork: ngrep now builds from the same
+ source tree for all platforms including Windows
+
+ o re-wrote the privilege revocation logic after problems were
+ reported with the SPC version, and removed non-root
+ drop_privs capability altogether
+
+ o fix off-by-one bug which caused ngrep to exit 1 packet early
+ when ``-A'' as invoked
+
+ o removed ``-O2'' optimizations which were causing ngrep with
+ ``-i'' engaged to eat the first character of the match
+ string on certain early GNU 3.x compiler toolchains
+
+ o ngrep now sets a pcap filter "ip" by default, if one is not
+ specified
+
+ o header offset fix to 802.11 processing
+
+ o support IGMP and Raw (unknown IP protocol) type packets
+
+ o support for latest versions of libpcap (0.8.3) and winpcap
+ (3.1 beta 4)
+
+ o updated configure to autoconf 2.59, and config.guess and
+ config.sub to latest versions
+
+ o updated PCRE from 3.4 to 5.0
+
