231 | 2.41 Mar 17 09:35 2013 |
232 | Bugfixes | |
233 | - Windows Vista does not appear to support inet_ntop(). It seems to | |
234 | have InetNtop() instead. So, working around by using getnameinfo() | |
235 | and passing in the NI_NUMERICHOST to get an IP address. | |
236 | Features | |
237 | - Change Net::Ping to use Time::HiRes::time() instead of CORE::time() | |
773d126d | 238 | by default. For most successful cases, CORE::time() returned zero. |
1bd59f2c SP |
239 | 2.40 Mar 15 11:20 2013 |
240 | Bugfixes | |
773d126d | 241 | - several fixes to tests to stop the black smoke on Win32's |
1bd59f2c SP |
242 | and Cygwin since the core updated the module to Test::More. |
243 | I had planned a later release, but all the black smoke is | |
244 | forcing a release. | |
773d126d | 245 | - fixes to some skips in tests that were still using the |
1bd59f2c SP |
246 | Test style skip's. |
247 | - Documentation fix for https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=48014. | |
248 | Thanks to Keith Taylor <keith@supanet.net.uk> | |
773d126d CBW |
249 | - Instead of using a hard-coded TOS value, import IP_TOS from |
250 | Socket. This fixes an outstanding bug on Solaris which uses a | |
1bd59f2c SP |
251 | different value for IP_TOS in it headers than Linux. I'm assuming |
252 | other OS's were fixed with this change as well. | |
253 | ||
254 | Features | |
773d126d CBW |
255 | - added TTL handling for icmp pings to allow traceroute like |
256 | applications to be built with Net::Ping. Thanks to | |
1bd59f2c SP |
257 | <rolek@bokxing.nl> for the patch and tests! |
258 | ||
4e0aac35 | 259 | Internals |
773d126d | 260 | - replaced SOL_IP with IPPROTO_IP. SOL_IP is not portable and was |
1bd59f2c | 261 | hard-coded anyway. |
773d126d | 262 | - added IPPROTO_IP, IP_TOS, IP_TTL, and AF_INET to the list of Socket |
1bd59f2c SP |
263 | constants imported. |
264 | - removed some hard-coded constants. | |
265 | - converted all calls to inet_ntoa() to inet_ntop() in preparation | |
266 | for further ipv6 updates. | |
267 | ||
268 | Infrastructure | |
269 | - Makefile.PL updated to require Test::More, Time::HiRes, and a | |
270 | recent Socket | |
271 | - several changes for github hosting | |
272 | - add a .gitignore file | |
4e0aac35 MM |
273 | - added a .travis.yml file to allow CI testing with changes pushed |
274 | to github | |
1bd59f2c SP |
275 | - replaced the README with a README.md which displays the |
276 | Travis CI build status on github. | |
277 | ||

290 | 2.34 Dec 19 08:51 2007 | |
291 | - Release primarily to prevent problems with the Perl core in | |
292 | preparation for the Perl 5.10 release. No real bug fixes, but | |
293 | text fixes are included. | |
294 | - skip test t/510_ping_udp.t on Windows Vista. Thanks to Jan | |
295 | Dubois for the code to test for Vista. | |
296 | - t/510_ping_udp.t should check for a udp echo port, not a tcp | |
297 | echo port. | |
298 | ||
af96568d RGS |
299 | 2.33 Jul 31 20:15 2007 |
300 | - add new method port_number() rather than asking users to | |
301 | twiddle with the internals of Net::Ping to probe a specific | |
302 | port. This should resolve a few bugs where the documentation | |
303 | was lacking. | |
304 | - apply patch from bergonz at labs.it. This patch resolves | |
305 | several problems logged regarding using Net::Ping in a multi- | |
306 | threaded program. Thanks so much! | |

327 | backoff factor for udp pings. | |

369 | conflicts with user applications. | |
370 | - 2) Also get rid of all eval {} code in ping_tcp | |
371 | in order to avoid catching SIGALRM trigger and | |
372 | to avoid conflicts with other evals. | |
