Added
* New methods for remote host MACs
* Windows: `arp`
* POSIX: `arpreq` package
* New methods for interface MACs
* Windows: `wmic nic`
* DEBUG levels: DEBUG value is now an integer, and increasing it will
increase the amount and verbosity of output. On the CLI, it can be
configured by increasing the amount of characters for the debug argument,
e.g. '-dd' for DEBUG level 2.
* Jython support (Note: on Windows Jython currently only works with interfaces)
* IronPython support
Changed
* **Significant** performance improvement for remote hosts. Previously,
the average for `get_mac_address(ip='10.0.0.100')` was 1.71 seconds.
Now, the average is `12.7 miliseconds`, with the special case of a unpopulated
arp table being only slightly higher. This was brought about by changes in
how the arp table is populated. The original method was to use the
host's `ping` command to send an ICMP packet to the host. This took time,
which heavily delayed the ability to actually get an address. The solution
is to instead simply send a empty UDP packet to a high port. The port
this packet is sent to can be configured using the module variable `getmac.PORT`.
* "Fixed" resolution of localhost/127.0.0.1 by hardcoding the response.
This should resolve a lot of problematic edge cases. I'm ok with this
for now since I don't know of a case when it isn't all zeroes.
* Greatly increased the reliability of getting host and interface MACs on Windows
* Improved debugging output
* Tightened up the size of `getmac.py`
* Various minor stability and performance improvements
* Add LICENSE to PyPI package
Removed
* Support for Python 3.2 and 3.3. The total downloads from PyPI with
those versions in August was ~53k and ~407K, respectfully. The majority
of those are likely from automated testing (e.g. TravisCI) and not
actual users. Therefore, I've decided to drop support to simplify
development, especially since before 3.4 the 3.x series was still
very much a "work in progress".
Dev
* Added automated tests for Windows using Appveyor
* Tox runner for tests
* Added github.io page
* Improved TravisCI testing
