WHAT'S NEW?
|
|
|
|
In the git-repo we will start adding things here under the next
|
|
version number, even before it's been released. So don't worry
|
|
if you see a version number here but can't find the release
|
|
files: It hasn't been released. Doing it this way reduces the
|
|
chance for a manual messup if I just "go ahead and release it"
|
|
without any editing here.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
V0.80 Some compilation fixes for BSD by Jeremy Chadwick
|
|
<freebsd@jdc.parodius.com>
|
|
|
|
V0.78/0.79 some compilation fixes for BSD&others by
|
|
Thomas Klausner <wiz@NetBSD.org>
|
|
|
|
V0.76 display load sharing hosts in --raw output.
|
|
added about button in gui.
|
|
|
|
v0.75 Feelgood patch to move sprintf to snprintf. People might think
|
|
that sprintf might cause a buffer overflow. Now it's clean.
|
|
cut-paste patches: you can now copy an intermediate host to the
|
|
clipboard.
|
|
|
|
v0.74 Martin Pels' patch to allow UDP probes.
|
|
KES reported a build problem. Turns out I need to install gtk-1.2
|
|
on my development sytem, otherwise my release script causes the
|
|
build to break.
|
|
changed some docs to advertise the new mailing list.
|
|
added documentation for the Mac OS X compilation problem.
|
|
added -Wno-pointer-sign to the compiler options.
|
|
Nico Lichtmaier's cleanup-gtk patch. (now mtr uses a more modern
|
|
dialect of gtk).
|
|
|
|
v0.73 Some securty patches. Although MTR drops privileges as soon
|
|
as possible after opening the sockets, it still had some
|
|
sprintf calls, which have now been converted into snprintf.
|
|
|
|
v0.72 Fix signed/unsigned bug in IPV6 part
|
|
improved random packet size behaviour. --REW
|
|
|
|
v0.71 Some IPV6 fixes, introduce packet size cmdline option.
|
|
(was already present as a cmdline argument)
|
|
|
|
v0.70 Antinio submitted a cumulative patch containing some
|
|
nice improvements. He also submitted an automake patch
|
|
that causes mtr to no longer compile on my system. I
|
|
refuse to have mtr "in the dark" that I can't test-compile
|
|
the dist.
|
|
|
|
v0.69 make distclean should now also remove "rej" files.
|
|
Antonio Querubin: update getopt.h . More cleanups using
|
|
new infrastructure.
|
|
rcw: Fixed IPV6 support: When compiled in an IPV6-supporting
|
|
environment, but when the kernel doesn't support IPV6, mtr would
|
|
fail to start.
|
|
|
|
v0.68 included some old patches.
|
|
included patch from Antonio Querubin for better IPV6 support
|
|
restructured some more whitespace.
|
|
added mtr.h where "global" things should go. Not finished
|
|
moving things around, but now that the infrastructure is there,
|
|
it should be easy.
|
|
|
|
v0.67 Bad keyboarding by REW caused this one out the door. Sorry.
|
|
No changes.
|
|
|
|
v0.66 Through the Debian bugtracking system a bug report and
|
|
fix was sent my way, that deals with stupid optmization
|
|
trying to save some 768 bytes of memory, sacrificing "it
|
|
works" on a different architecture... (default char signedness)
|
|
|
|
v0.65 Dancer Vesperman noted that mtr no longer traces past
|
|
a section of non-responding hosts. Apparently I added
|
|
a line in net.c that didn't make sense in mtr-0.56. I
|
|
can't find the reason for adding that line, so someone
|
|
who thinks (s)he needs it, should holler.
|
|
|
|
v0.64 Philippe suggests to do the time_t thingy before socket.h.
|
|
Apparently, MAC OS X doesn't compile socket.h otherwise.
|
|
|
|
v0.63 Suggestion by RCW: Add -lm at line 70 of Configure.in.
|
|
On my system no ill effects ensued, so this version released
|
|
so that he can test if it still works on his sytem.
|
|
|
|
Let me add that it's stupid that I have to specify that this
|
|
this program now requires Automake version 1.5 to build, where
|
|
Automake was intended to make software independent of different
|
|
versions of build software!
|
|
|
|
For those concerned about the above statement: If you're just
|
|
trying to compile and use MTR, there is no need for automake.
|
|
Just when you're messing with the configure and build system of
|
|
mtr is automake a tool you need.
|
|
|
|
v0.62 Apparently someone changed gethostbyname into gethostbyname2
|
|
in mtr.c in an attempt to add IPV6 support. For systems without
|
|
ipv6 support, the old gethostbyname should be used! Linux
|
|
has the call even if you don't enable IPV6. Thanks Gary (rsub)
|
|
|
|
v0.61 Attempt to get/print the local IP address. Now shows as
|
|
0.0.0.0 :-( Hints and tips appreciated! -- REW
|
|
Lots of blank space reformatting.
|
|
moved the interface address setting to net.c (where it
|
|
belongs).
|
|
|
|
v0.60 John Thacker submitted a surprisingly simple patch to
|
|
enable linking against GTK2. (up to 2.4.0)
|
|
|
|
v0.59 Josh Martin suggested to add some bounds checking to
|
|
the dynamic field code. This caused me to delve in, and
|
|
rewrite some things. Now 50 lines of code less, but cleaner
|
|
code. :-)
|
|
|
|
v0.58 I don't remember. Fogot to update this. :-( Check the
|
|
patch.
|
|
|
|
v0.57 Lots of whitespace cleanups. And a DNS fix: Don't do DNS
|
|
lookups in raw mode with -n specified.
|
|
|
|
v0.56 Fixed compile warnings. Now compiles with -Wall. If your
|
|
compiler finds things mine didn't feel free to shout.
|
|
|
|
v0.55 Cleanup patch. I'm going to do some maintenance on MTR,
|
|
but I want to be able to say: Can you see which version
|
|
fixed/broke things for you, so you're going to see a
|
|
bunch of new releases soon.
|
|
|
|
v0.54 Added "scrolling" patch from Roland Illig, to allow
|
|
scrolling in text mode. I've always wanted this......
|
|
|
|
v0.53 Added fix for raw mode.
|
|
|
|
v0.52 Mostly cleanups from Brett Johnson on MacOS X. It may
|
|
clean up some compilation problems on MacOS X as well.
|
|
|
|
v0.51 Fixed the bug introduced by the previous select loop fix...
|
|
Thanks Evgeniy
|
|
|
|
v0.50 Make "interface address" option work.
|
|
Changes to "select" loop to allow window resizes (select
|
|
interruption) to work. Thanks Mike!
|
|
|
|
v0.49 Fix compilation problems on several platforms.
|
|
|
|
v0.48 Draw names in red (GTK) or bold (Curses) if host doesn't
|
|
respond.
|
|
|
|
v0.47 Fixed a (believed-) non-exploitable bufferoverflow.
|
|
Thanks Damian.
|
|
|
|
v0.46 Included patch to be able to specify outgoing interface
|
|
address.
|
|
|
|
v0.45 People are pressuring me to release new versions with their
|
|
changes. That's fine. Now this version just adds dynamic
|
|
switching between numeric / dns names, and some minor
|
|
stuff I forgot. This release serves as a code-sync-release.
|
|
new version with even more new stuff in about two weeks!
|
|
I'm afraid I don't know how to fix the MaxOS-X compilation
|
|
problems in the source. Help wanted...
|
|
|
|
v0.44 David Stone adds the "last" column to the gtk version.
|
|
|
|
v0.43 Compile fixes.
|
|
|
|
v0.41 Added afr's patch to allow disabling of gtk without Robn's hack.
|
|
Made report mode report the newly added extra resolution.
|
|
|
|
v0.40 Fixed some problems with HPUX and SunOS.
|
|
Included Olav Kvittem's patch to do packetsize option.
|
|
Made the timekeeping in micro seconds.
|
|
|
|
v0.39 Forgot the parentheses around the previous fix... :-(
|
|
|
|
v0.38 fixed some dubious code in dns.c (noted by someone's lint)
|
|
|
|
v0.37 Added Bill Bogstad's "show the local host & time" patch.
|
|
Added R. Sparks' show-last-ping patch, submitted by Philip Kizer.
|
|
|
|
v0.36 Added Craigs change-the-interval-on-the-fly patch.
|
|
Added Moritz Barsnick's "do something sensible if host not found"
|
|
patch.
|
|
Some cleanup of both Craigs and Moritz' patches.
|
|
|
|
v0.35 Added Craig Milo Rogers pause/resume for GTK patch.
|
|
Added Craig Milo Rogers cleanup of "reset". (restart at the beginning)
|
|
Net_open used to send a first packet. After that the display-driver
|
|
got a chance to distort the timing by taking its time to
|
|
initialize.
|
|
|
|
v0.34 Added Matt's nifty "use the icmp unreachables to do the timing" patch.
|
|
Added Steve Kann's pause/resume patch.
|
|
|
|
v0.33 Fixed the Linux glibc resolver problems.
|
|
Fixed the off-by-one problem with -c option.
|
|
|
|
v0.32 Fixed the FreeBSD bug detection stuff.
|
|
|
|
v0.31 Fixed a few documentation issues. -- Matt
|
|
Changed the autoconf stuff to find the resolver library on
|
|
Solaris. -- REW
|
|
Cleaned up the autoconf.in file a bit. -- Matt.
|
|
|
|
v0.30 Fixed a typo in the changelog (NEWS) entry for 0.27. :-)
|
|
added use of "MTR_OPTIONS" environment variable for defaults.
|
|
|
|
v0.29 Lots of stuff.
|
|
Neato overview display by David Sward.
|
|
FreeBSD does wrong in the kernel the same that Solaris/x86 (see
|
|
note for 0.27 does right. It forces mtr to send bad packets....
|
|
Adjusted "not too much at once" algorithm. Now probing
|
|
continues as long as not more than 5 hosts are unknown.
|
|
Returning packets usually allow us to do the first sweep
|
|
in one go.
|
|
|
|
v0.28 DNS lookups are now suppressed if you don't want them.
|
|
|
|
v0.27
|
|
Fixed bug that showed up on Solaris/x86.
|
|
GTK mainloop now runs as it's supposed to.
|
|
|
|
v0.26
|
|
Added "-n" flag for numeric output.
|
|
fixed IP numbers displaying backwards.
|
|
GTK mainloop now runs at 10 packets per second.
|
|
- That's too much if there are only 3 hosts
|
|
- that's too little if there are 20 hosts.
|
|
-> Someone tell me how to change the "ping-timeout"
|
|
callback time in gtk. Can't find it in the docs.
|
|
The default for "hostname" is now "localhost" so that
|
|
you can start mtr without any arguments and later
|
|
fill in the host you want to trace to.
|
|
|
|
v0.25
|
|
Included two "raw" formats. One for separating GUI from
|
|
the setuid program, and one suitable for later parsing and
|
|
displaying. Volunteers wanted to separate the GTK
|
|
backend. Thanks to Bertrand Leconte for contributing
|
|
the format that's now called "split".
|
|
|
|
v0.24
|
|
Fixed number of probes. Accidentally was counted per
|
|
packet sent instead of per round of packets.
|
|
|
|
v0.23
|
|
Fixed Sparc alignment problem with statmalloc
|
|
|
|
v0.22
|
|
Roger has take over maintenance.
|
|
mtr now uses an "int" to pass options to the kernel.
|
|
Makes things work on Solaris and *BSD I'm told.
|
|
mtr doesn't fire off a flurry of packets when a new
|
|
second comes around. Instead they are spaced evenly
|
|
around the whole second. This allows people with a
|
|
relatively slow first link to do meaningful measurements
|
|
of whatever is behind that.
|
|
|
|
v0.21
|
|
mtr now drops root permissions after it acquires the raw
|
|
sockets it needs.
|
|
mtr should be a bit happier about building under SCO and
|
|
Solaris.
|
|
Fixed the problem with packets arriving after a reset.
|
|
|
|
v0.20
|
|
The build process for mtr now uses automake.
|
|
Fixed a build problem for Irix.
|
|
Now uses non-blocking DNS code, so mtr can attempt
|
|
to do reverse lookup on multiple hosts at once.
|
|
Fewer packets are sent out each cycle, so mtr
|
|
doesn't hog quite so much bandwidth.
|
|
|
|
v0.19
|
|
Fixed a type-o in curses.c
|
|
|
|
v0.18
|
|
Fixed the network code to work properly under FreeBSD.
|
|
Hopefully this will fix some other operating systems too.
|
|
Also, fixed a build problem and the DNS hanging bug.
|
|
|
|
v0.17
|
|
Fixed the configure script to always like with the math
|
|
library. Added an icon.
|
|
|
|
v0.16
|
|
Added one #include to select.c. Some people were unable
|
|
to build mtr without this line.
|
|
|
|
v0.15
|
|
Both the build process and the networking code have
|
|
been cleaned up and reorganized. mtr now builds
|
|
cleanly with GTK+ 0.99.8.
|
|
|
|
--- Below is the contents of the old "Changelog file" that annoyed some
|
|
people as it didn't contain any recent changes/news.
|
|
|
|
2002-03-06 Cougar <cougar@random.ee>
|
|
+ If hop doesn't respond, draw its name in red (GTK) or bold (curses)
|
|
|
|
2002-02-09 bodq <bohdan@vstu.edu.ua>
|
|
+ Added --address option to bind to given IP addess
|
|
|
|
2001-04-15 root <alane@geeksrus.net>
|
|
+ Added this file so that automake won't complain.
|
|
+ Commented out the test for res_init in configure.in;
|
|
it does not work for GLIBC2 systems (e.g., RedHat 7+).
|
|
+ Fixed the subordinate CHECK_LIBS on the test for res_mkquery,
|
|
so that they test for res_mkquery, not res_init.
|
