- Fixed compiler and optimizer bugs. The BPF filter engine uses unsigned
comparison operators, while the code generator and optimizer assumed
signed semantics in several places. Thanks to Charlie Slater
(cslaterimatek.com) for pointing this out.
- Removed FDDI ifdef's, they aren't really needed. Resulted from report
by Gary Veum (veumboa.gsfc.nasa.gov).
- Add pcap-null.c which allows offline use of libpcap on systems that
don't support live package capture. This feature resulting from a
request from Jan van Oorschot (j.p.m.voorschotet.tudelft.nl).
- Make bpf_compile() reentrant. Fix thanks to Pascal Hennequin
(Pascal.Hennequinhugo.int-evry.fr).
- Port to GNU autoconf.
- Fix pcap-dlpi.c to work with isdn. Resulted from report by Flemming
Johansen (fsjcsd.cri.dk).
- Handle multi-digit interface unit numbers (aka ppa's) under dlpi.
Resulted from report by Daniel Ehrlich (ehrlichcse.psu.edu).
- Fix pcap-dlpi.c to work in non-promiscuous mode. Resulted from report
by Jeff Murphy (jcmurphyacsu.buffalo.edu).
- Add support for "long jumps". Thanks to Jeffrey Mogul
(mogulpa.dec.com).
- Fix minor problems when compiling with BDEBUG as noticed by Scott
Bertilson (scottunet.umn.edu).
- Declare sys_errlist "const char *const" to avoid problems under
FreeBSD. Resulted from report by jhereden.com.
