504: v0.71 Some IPV6 fixes, introduce packet size cmdline option.
505: (was already present as a cmdline argument)
506:
507: v0.70 Antinio submitted a cumulative patch containing some
508: nice improvements. He also submitted an automake patch
509: that causes mtr to no longer compile on my system. I
510: refuse to have mtr "in the dark" that I can't test-compile
511: the dist.
512:
513: v0.69 make distclean should now also remove "rej" files.
514: Antonio Querubin: update getopt.h . More cleanups using
515: new infrastructure.
516: rcw: Fixed IPV6 support: When compiled in an IPV6-supporting
517: environment, but when the kernel doesn't support IPV6, mtr would
518: fail to start.
519:
520: v0.68 included some old patches.
521: included patch from Antonio Querubin for better IPV6 support
522: restructured some more whitespace.
523: added mtr.h where "global" things should go. Not finished
524: moving things around, but now that the infrastructure is there,
525: it should be easy.
526:
527: v0.67 Bad keyboarding by REW caused this one out the door. Sorry.
528: No changes.
529:
530: v0.66 Through the Debian bugtracking system a bug report and
1.1.1.3 ! misho 531: fix was sent my way, that deals with stupid optimization
1.1 misho 532: trying to save some 768 bytes of memory, sacrificing "it
533: works" on a different architecture... (default char signedness)
534:
535: v0.65 Dancer Vesperman noted that mtr no longer traces past
536: a section of non-responding hosts. Apparently I added
537: a line in net.c that didn't make sense in mtr-0.56. I
538: can't find the reason for adding that line, so someone
539: who thinks (s)he needs it, should holler.
540:
541: v0.64 Philippe suggests to do the time_t thingy before socket.h.
542: Apparently, MAC OS X doesn't compile socket.h otherwise.
543:
544: v0.63 Suggestion by RCW: Add -lm at line 70 of Configure.in.
545: On my system no ill effects ensued, so this version released
1.1.1.3 ! misho 546: so that he can test if it still works on his system.
1.1 misho 547:
548: Let me add that it's stupid that I have to specify that this
549: this program now requires Automake version 1.5 to build, where
550: Automake was intended to make software independent of different
551: versions of build software!
552:
553: For those concerned about the above statement: If you're just
554: trying to compile and use MTR, there is no need for automake.
555: Just when you're messing with the configure and build system of
556: mtr is automake a tool you need.
557:
558: v0.62 Apparently someone changed gethostbyname into gethostbyname2
559: in mtr.c in an attempt to add IPV6 support. For systems without
560: ipv6 support, the old gethostbyname should be used! Linux
561: has the call even if you don't enable IPV6. Thanks Gary (rsub)
562:
563: v0.61 Attempt to get/print the local IP address. Now shows as
564: 0.0.0.0 :-( Hints and tips appreciated! -- REW
565: Lots of blank space reformatting.
566: moved the interface address setting to net.c (where it
567: belongs).
568:
569: v0.60 John Thacker submitted a surprisingly simple patch to
570: enable linking against GTK2. (up to 2.4.0)
571:
572: v0.59 Josh Martin suggested to add some bounds checking to
573: the dynamic field code. This caused me to delve in, and
574: rewrite some things. Now 50 lines of code less, but cleaner
575: code. :-)
576:
1.1.1.3 ! misho 577: v0.58 I don't remember. Forgot to update this. :-( Check the
1.1 misho 578: patch.
579:
580: v0.57 Lots of whitespace cleanups. And a DNS fix: Don't do DNS
581: lookups in raw mode with -n specified.
582:
583: v0.56 Fixed compile warnings. Now compiles with -Wall. If your
584: compiler finds things mine didn't feel free to shout.
585:
586: v0.55 Cleanup patch. I'm going to do some maintenance on MTR,
587: but I want to be able to say: Can you see which version
588: fixed/broke things for you, so you're going to see a
589: bunch of new releases soon.
590:
591: v0.54 Added "scrolling" patch from Roland Illig, to allow
592: scrolling in text mode. I've always wanted this......
593:
594: v0.53 Added fix for raw mode.
595:
596: v0.52 Mostly cleanups from Brett Johnson on MacOS X. It may
597: clean up some compilation problems on MacOS X as well.
598:
599: v0.51 Fixed the bug introduced by the previous select loop fix...
600: Thanks Evgeniy
601:
602: v0.50 Make "interface address" option work.
603: Changes to "select" loop to allow window resizes (select
604: interruption) to work. Thanks Mike!
605:
606: v0.49 Fix compilation problems on several platforms.
607:
608: v0.48 Draw names in red (GTK) or bold (Curses) if host doesn't
609: respond.
610:
1.1.1.3 ! misho 611: v0.47 Fixed a (believed-) non-exploitable buffer overflow.
1.1 misho 612: Thanks Damian.
613:
614: v0.46 Included patch to be able to specify outgoing interface
615: address.
616:
617: v0.45 People are pressuring me to release new versions with their
618: changes. That's fine. Now this version just adds dynamic
619: switching between numeric / dns names, and some minor
620: stuff I forgot. This release serves as a code-sync-release.
621: new version with even more new stuff in about two weeks!
1.1.1.3 ! misho 622: I'm afraid I don't know how to fix the MacOS-X compilation
1.1 misho 623: problems in the source. Help wanted...
624:
625: v0.44 David Stone adds the "last" column to the gtk version.
626:
627: v0.43 Compile fixes.
628:
629: v0.41 Added afr's patch to allow disabling of gtk without Robn's hack.
630: Made report mode report the newly added extra resolution.
631:
632: v0.40 Fixed some problems with HPUX and SunOS.
633: Included Olav Kvittem's patch to do packetsize option.
634: Made the timekeeping in micro seconds.
635:
636: v0.39 Forgot the parentheses around the previous fix... :-(
637:
638: v0.38 fixed some dubious code in dns.c (noted by someone's lint)
639:
640: v0.37 Added Bill Bogstad's "show the local host & time" patch.
641: Added R. Sparks' show-last-ping patch, submitted by Philip Kizer.
642:
643: v0.36 Added Craigs change-the-interval-on-the-fly patch.
644: Added Moritz Barsnick's "do something sensible if host not found"
645: patch.
646: Some cleanup of both Craigs and Moritz' patches.
647:
648: v0.35 Added Craig Milo Rogers pause/resume for GTK patch.
649: Added Craig Milo Rogers cleanup of "reset". (restart at the beginning)
650: Net_open used to send a first packet. After that the display-driver
651: got a chance to distort the timing by taking its time to
652: initialize.
653:
654: v0.34 Added Matt's nifty "use the icmp unreachables to do the timing" patch.
655: Added Steve Kann's pause/resume patch.
656:
657: v0.33 Fixed the Linux glibc resolver problems.
658: Fixed the off-by-one problem with -c option.
659:
660: v0.32 Fixed the FreeBSD bug detection stuff.
661:
662: v0.31 Fixed a few documentation issues. -- Matt
663: Changed the autoconf stuff to find the resolver library on
664: Solaris. -- REW
665: Cleaned up the autoconf.in file a bit. -- Matt.
666:
667: v0.30 Fixed a typo in the changelog (NEWS) entry for 0.27. :-)
668: added use of "MTR_OPTIONS" environment variable for defaults.
669:
670: v0.29 Lots of stuff.
671: Neato overview display by David Sward.
672: FreeBSD does wrong in the kernel the same that Solaris/x86 (see
673: note for 0.27 does right. It forces mtr to send bad packets....
674: Adjusted "not too much at once" algorithm. Now probing
675: continues as long as not more than 5 hosts are unknown.
676: Returning packets usually allow us to do the first sweep
677: in one go.
678:
679: v0.28 DNS lookups are now suppressed if you don't want them.
680:
681: v0.27
682: Fixed bug that showed up on Solaris/x86.
683: GTK mainloop now runs as it's supposed to.
684:
685: v0.26
686: Added "-n" flag for numeric output.
687: fixed IP numbers displaying backwards.
688: GTK mainloop now runs at 10 packets per second.
689: - That's too much if there are only 3 hosts
690: - that's too little if there are 20 hosts.
691: -> Someone tell me how to change the "ping-timeout"
692: callback time in gtk. Can't find it in the docs.
693: The default for "hostname" is now "localhost" so that
694: you can start mtr without any arguments and later
695: fill in the host you want to trace to.
696:
697: v0.25
698: Included two "raw" formats. One for separating GUI from
699: the setuid program, and one suitable for later parsing and
700: displaying. Volunteers wanted to separate the GTK
701: backend. Thanks to Bertrand Leconte for contributing
702: the format that's now called "split".
703:
704: v0.24
705: Fixed number of probes. Accidentally was counted per
706: packet sent instead of per round of packets.
707:
708: v0.23
709: Fixed Sparc alignment problem with statmalloc
710:
711: v0.22
712: Roger has take over maintenance.
713: mtr now uses an "int" to pass options to the kernel.
714: Makes things work on Solaris and *BSD I'm told.
715: mtr doesn't fire off a flurry of packets when a new
716: second comes around. Instead they are spaced evenly
717: around the whole second. This allows people with a
718: relatively slow first link to do meaningful measurements
719: of whatever is behind that.
720:
721: v0.21
722: mtr now drops root permissions after it acquires the raw
723: sockets it needs.
724: mtr should be a bit happier about building under SCO and
725: Solaris.
726: Fixed the problem with packets arriving after a reset.
727:
728: v0.20
729: The build process for mtr now uses automake.
730: Fixed a build problem for Irix.
731: Now uses non-blocking DNS code, so mtr can attempt
732: to do reverse lookup on multiple hosts at once.
733: Fewer packets are sent out each cycle, so mtr
734: doesn't hog quite so much bandwidth.
735:
736: v0.19
737: Fixed a type-o in curses.c
738:
739: v0.18
740: Fixed the network code to work properly under FreeBSD.
741: Hopefully this will fix some other operating systems too.
742: Also, fixed a build problem and the DNS hanging bug.
743:
744: v0.17
745: Fixed the configure script to always like with the math
746: library. Added an icon.
747:
748: v0.16
749: Added one #include to select.c. Some people were unable
750: to build mtr without this line.
751:
752: v0.15
753: Both the build process and the networking code have
754: been cleaned up and reorganized. mtr now builds
755: cleanly with GTK+ 0.99.8.
756:
757: --- Below is the contents of the old "Changelog file" that annoyed some
758: people as it didn't contain any recent changes/news.
759:
760: 2002-03-06 Cougar <cougar@random.ee>
761: + If hop doesn't respond, draw its name in red (GTK) or bold (curses)
762:
763: 2002-02-09 bodq <bohdan@vstu.edu.ua>
1.1.1.3 ! misho 764: + Added --address option to bind to given IP address

766: 2001-04-15 root <alane@geeksrus.net>
767: + Added this file so that automake won't complain.
768: + Commented out the test for res_init in configure.in;
769: it does not work for GLIBC2 systems (e.g., RedHat 7+).
770: + Fixed the subordinate CHECK_LIBS on the test for res_mkquery,
771: so that they test for res_mkquery, not res_init.
