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.
2.26 Dec 02 12:00 2002
- More compatibility fixes.
- Thanks for Solaris bug reports:
Paul.Gaborit@enstimac.fr (Paul Gaborit)
Jost.Krieger@ruhr-uni-bochum.de (Jost Krieger)
- Thanks for Solaris testing box:
Gunther.Heintzen@rrze.uni-erlangen.de (Gunther Heintzen)
- Solaris ENOTCONN select() for write choke bug.
- Thanks for Cygwin bug reports:
h.m.brand@hccnet.nl (H.Merijn Brand)
- Cygwin "EAGAIN instead of ECONNREFUSED" buttwag.
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)

Spot by taner@taner.net (Taner Halicioglu)
2.19 Jun 03 19:00 2002
