CHANGES
-------
+2.28 Jan 23 18:00 2003
+ - No new features. Bug fixes only.
+ - Fixed ICMP_STRUCT to work on Big Endian platforms.
+ Thanks to danb@thelittlemacshop.com (Dan Buettner)
+ for testing on Mac OS X 10.2.3 and many others
+ for testing on Big Endian boxes.
+ - Not do binmode(). Causes more problems than helps.
+ - Perl 5.004 compatibility fixes (Spot by Honza).
+
+2.27 Jan 15 23:00 2003
+ - Patch by slebedev@iwl.net (Sergey Lebedev):
+ - 1) Fixed response packet parsing offsets in ping_icmp.
+ - 2) Added icmp_result method.
+ - Patch by radu@netsoft.ro (Radu Greab):
+ - 1) Changed ping_tcp() to use non-blocking connect
+ instead of alarm() interface in order to avoid
+ conflicts with user applications.
+ - 2) Also get rid of all eval {} code in ping_tcp
+ in order to avoid catching SIGALRM trigger and
+ to avoid conflicts with other evals.
+ - 3) Avoid ioctl() syscall for more accurate error
+ detection on non-blocking tcp connects.
+ - 4) Fix fcntl() syntax usage.
+ - Patch by adelton@fi.muni.cz (Honza Pazdziora):
+ - 1) Fix icmp request pack code to be more platform
+ independent regardless of Big/Little Endian.
+ - 2) Use binmode for filehandle in case perl 5.8.0
+ tries to dink with the data stream.
+ - Other changes by Rob Brown:
+ - Fixed ack() failures under certain rare conditions.
+ - Use more appropriate \z instead of $ in regex.
+ - Resolved Cygwin "make test" problems reported by
+ h.m.brand@hccnet.nl (H.Merijn Brand).
+ - Add sending a real ICMP packet in the test suite.
+ - Add Socket to PREREQ_PM (missing on some boxes?)
+ - Adjust syn_forking IPC pipe for fatter Win32 pids.
+ - Better handling of alarm() in test suite for Win32.
+ - Add a DESTROY method to reduce chances of
+ lingering connect-choking children.
+

+
+2.25 Nov 19 12:00 2002
+ - Handle condition where O_NONBLOCK tcp connects
+ immediately fail without EINPROGRESS
+ (certain platforms or SMP optimizations).
+
+2.24 Oct 21 22:00 2002
+ - Compatibility fixes.
+ - Avoid using 127.1.1.1 and 127.2.2.2 because
+ it breaks on some platforms (Irix).
+ - Handle condition where nonblocking tcp connects
+ immediately connect on some platforms
+ (solaris and freebsd) and to be SMP safer.
+ - Win32 $p->ack( $host ) method should now work.
+ - Add ack( $host ) test cases to test suite.
+
+2.23 Oct 18 22:00 2002
+ - Fix ack() fd "each" detection bug.
+ - Add nack() method for OO interface to the
+ reason why the ack() failed.
+ - Fix premature "Timed out" side effect when a
+ different specified ack( $host ) fails.
+ - IO::Socket::INET ephemeral port buttwag
+ hack for the t/450_service.t test.
+ - Documental changes.
+
+2.22 Oct 17 16:00 2002
+ - Add $p->tcp_service_check() method to enforce
+ remote tcp service availability checking.
+ Patch by jef@linuxbe.org (Jean-Francois Dive).
+ - Changed default behavior of "syn" protocol to
+ disabled tcp_service_check instead of enabled.
+ - Win32 compatibility changes ("syn" protocol).
+ - Increase timeouts for tests in case client or
+ server network(s) are busy.
+
+2.21 Oct 14 12:00 2002
+ - Preserve/restore ALRM settings for tcp mode pings.
+ Spot by d@niel-berlin.de (Daniel Berlin)
+ - Can now select device for udp and icmp protocols.
+ Patch by sarfata@altern.org (Thomas Sarlandie).
+ - Add new "syn" protocol to allow for mass parallel
+ (syncronous) TCP service reachability checking.
+ - Add ack() method to utilize non-blocking connect
+ (SYN/ACK) feature of the "syn" protocol.
+ - Add demo/fping script as a "syn" demonstration.
+ - Compatibiliy patches for cygwin.
+ Spot by frazee.23@osu.edu (Joseph Frazee)
+
+2.20 Jun 20 10:00 2002
+ - Perl 5.8.0 compatibility stuff.
+ Spot by dcd@tc.fluke.com (David Dyck).
+ And patch by jhi@iki.fi (Jarkko Hietaniemi).
+ - Move INSTALL doc into perldoc.
+ - Allow source_verify method to work
+ for icmp protocol as well as udp.
+ Spot by taner@taner.net (Taner Halicioglu)
+
2.19 Jun 03 19:00 2002
- - Add $p->udp_source_verify method to skip source
+ - Add $p->source_verify method to skip source
endpoint verification of udp protocol pings for
those remote destinations with multiple interfaces
that may have the "reverse telnet" bug.
+ Spot by dcd@tc.fluke.com (David Dyck)
- Moved files to more standard locations.
+ - Less common martian used for ping test
+ to reduce conflicts
