114 | 2.41 Mar 17 09:35 2013 |
115 | Bugfixes | |
116 | - Windows Vista does not appear to support inet_ntop(). It seems to | |
117 | have InetNtop() instead. So, working around by using getnameinfo() | |
118 | and passing in the NI_NUMERICHOST to get an IP address. | |
119 | Features | |
120 | - Change Net::Ping to use Time::HiRes::time() instead of CORE::time() | |
773d126d | 121 | by default. For most successful cases, CORE::time() returned zero. |
1bd59f2c SP |
122 | 2.40 Mar 15 11:20 2013 |
123 | Bugfixes | |
773d126d | 124 | - several fixes to tests to stop the black smoke on Win32's |
1bd59f2c SP |
125 | and Cygwin since the core updated the module to Test::More. |
126 | I had planned a later release, but all the black smoke is | |
127 | forcing a release. | |
773d126d | 128 | - fixes to some skips in tests that were still using the |
1bd59f2c SP |
129 | Test style skip's. |
130 | - Documentation fix for https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=48014. | |
131 | Thanks to Keith Taylor <keith@supanet.net.uk> | |
773d126d CBW |
132 | - Instead of using a hard-coded TOS value, import IP_TOS from |
133 | Socket. This fixes an outstanding bug on Solaris which uses a | |
1bd59f2c SP |
134 | different value for IP_TOS in it headers than Linux. I'm assuming |
135 | other OS's were fixed with this change as well. | |
136 | ||
137 | Features | |
773d126d CBW |
138 | - added TTL handling for icmp pings to allow traceroute like |
139 | applications to be built with Net::Ping. Thanks to | |
1bd59f2c SP |
140 | <rolek@bokxing.nl> for the patch and tests! |
141 | ||
4e0aac35 | 142 | Internals |
773d126d | 143 | - replaced SOL_IP with IPPROTO_IP. SOL_IP is not portable and was |
1bd59f2c | 144 | hard-coded anyway. |
773d126d | 145 | - added IPPROTO_IP, IP_TOS, IP_TTL, and AF_INET to the list of Socket |
1bd59f2c SP |
146 | constants imported. |
147 | - removed some hard-coded constants. | |
148 | - converted all calls to inet_ntoa() to inet_ntop() in preparation | |
149 | for further ipv6 updates. | |
150 | ||
151 | Infrastructure | |
152 | - Makefile.PL updated to require Test::More, Time::HiRes, and a | |
153 | recent Socket | |
154 | - several changes for github hosting | |
155 | - add a .gitignore file | |
4e0aac35 MM |
156 | - added a .travis.yml file to allow CI testing with changes pushed |
157 | to github | |
1bd59f2c SP |
158 | - replaced the README with a README.md which displays the |
159 | Travis CI build status on github. | |

173 | 2.34 Dec 19 08:51 2007 | |
174 | - Release primarily to prevent problems with the Perl core in | |
175 | preparation for the Perl 5.10 release. No real bug fixes, but | |
176 | text fixes are included. | |
177 | - skip test t/510_ping_udp.t on Windows Vista. Thanks to Jan | |
178 | Dubois for the code to test for Vista. | |
179 | - t/510_ping_udp.t should check for a udp echo port, not a tcp | |
180 | echo port. | |
181 | ||
af96568d RGS |
182 | 2.33 Jul 31 20:15 2007 |
183 | - add new method port_number() rather than asking users to | |
184 | twiddle with the internals of Net::Ping to probe a specific | |
185 | port. This should resolve a few bugs where the documentation | |
186 | was lacking. | |
187 | - apply patch from bergonz at labs.it. This patch resolves | |
188 | several problems logged regarding using Net::Ping in a multi- | |
189 | threaded program. Thanks so much! | |
