    Tuesday January 9, 2001. guy@alum.mit.edu. Summary for 0.6 release
    
    	New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
    	kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
    	filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
    	device for capturing on all interfaces.  Cleans up promiscuous
    	mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
    	(handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
    	doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).
    
    	Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
    	an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.
    
    	libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values
    	in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_
    	values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between
    	different OSes.
    
    	Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g.
    	the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read.
    
    	Updated autoconf stock files.
    
    	Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
    	protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
    	packets).
    
    	"pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
    	to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.
    
    	Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.
    
    	Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout.
    	Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.
    
    	Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
    	with snprintf.
    
    	Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
    	erroneously after one compile failed.
    
    	Assorted other bug fixes.
    
    	README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
    	platform-specific issues.
    
    	"getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.

      the list of interfaces is read as necessary in order to hold the

    Greg Troxel <gdt@ir.bbn.com>
    - Added a new "pcap_compile_nopcap()", which lets you compile a filter

      Thanks to Thomas Sailer (sailer@ife.ee.ethz.ch)
    
    - Change IRIX PPP to use DLT_RAW since the kernel does not supply any

      timeouts.
    
    - Changed ISLOOPBACK() macro when IFF_LOOPBACK isn't available to check
      for "lo" followed by an eos or digit (newer versions of Linux
      apparently call the loopback "lo" instead of "lo0").
    
    - Fixed Linux networking include files to use ints instead of longs to
      avoid problems with 64 bit longs on the alpha. Thanks to Cristian

    - Fix two bugs related to the Solaris pre-5.3.2 bufmod bug; handle

    - Added checkioctl which is used with gcc to check that the
      "fixincludes" script has been run.
