mirror_iproute2/RELNOTES

[020116]
! 1. Compile with rh-7.2
! 2. What the hell some people blame on socklen_t defined in unistd.h? Check.
 * Kim Woelders <kim@woelders.dk>, various useful fixups: compilation
   with old kernels, cross-compiling, "all" == "any" in prefix spec. 
 * Collected from my disk, cleaned and packed to directory iproute2/misc/
   several utilities: ss, nstat, ifstat, rtacct, arpd and module tcp_diag.
   Writing some docs. me.
 * prepared patchlet for pidentd to use tcp_diag.
 * David Miller: 64bit (and even worse 64bit kernel/32 bit user :-) fixes
   to above. tcp_diag is merged to main tree.
 * Alexandr D. Kanevskiy <kad@blackcatlinux.com>: various flaws in ss
 * Alexandr D. Kanevskiy <kad@blackcatlinux.com>: oops, more aggressive caching
   of names opened old bugs: ip started to print garbage in some places.
 * Robert Olsson, rt_cache_stat. Renamed to rtstat.
 * An old bug in "ip maddr ls": reduntant empty lines in output.
   Seeing this crap for ages but lucky match of desire/ability to repair
   and a huff about this happened only today. :-)
 * "Mr. James W. Laferriere" <babydr@baby-dragons.com>
   doc: option to produce ps output for non-a4 and not only 2 pages/sheet. 
 * Jamal's patch for ingres qdisc.
 * Bernd Eckenfels <ecki@lina.inka.de>: deleted orphaned bogus #include
   in include/utils.h.
 * Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg>: uninitialized fields in nexthop
   producing funny "dead" nexthops in multipath routes.
   Stupid me, look at the first line in [010803]... Was it difficult to guess
   this that time? People blame for several months. :-)
   Special thanks to bert hubert <ahu@ds9a.nl> who raised the issue in netdev.
   Thanks and apologies to Terry Schmidt <terry@nycwireless.net>,
   Ruben Puettmann <ruben.puettmann@freenet-ag.de>,
   Mark Ivens <mivens@clara.net>.
 * willy tarreau <wtarreau@yahoo.fr>: "make install" target.
 * Tunable limit for sch_sfq. Patch to kernel activating this
   is about to be submitted. Reminded by Adi Nugroho <Adi@iNterNUX.co.id>.

[010824]
 * ip address add sets scope of loopback addreses to "host".
   Advised by David Miller.
 * ZIP! <zip@killerlabs.com> and David Ford <david@blue-labs.org>
   Some strcpy's changed to strncpy's.
 * David Ford <david@blue-labs.org>, test for compilation with gcc3.
 * David Ford <david@blue-labs.org>. Damn, I broke rtnl_talk in previous
   snapshot.

[010803]
 * If "dev" is not specified in multipath route, ifindex remained
   uninitialized. Grr. Thanks to Kunihiro Ishiguro <kunihiro@zebra.org>.
 * Rafal Maszkowski <rzm@icm.edu.pl>, batch mode tc. The most old patch.
 * Updates list of data protocol ids.
   Lots of reporters. I bring my apologies.
 * Jan Rekorajski <baggins@sith.mimuw.edu.pl>. Updated list of datalink types. 
 * Christina Chen <chenchristina@cwc.nus.edu.sg>. Bug in parsing IPv6 address match in u32. 
 * Pekka Savola <pekkas@netcore.fi>. ip -6 route flush dev lo stuck
   on deleting root of the table.
 * Werner. dsmark fixes.
 * Alexander Demenshin <aldem-reply@aldem.net>. Old miracleous bug
   in ip monitor. It was puzzle, people permanently blame that
   it prints some crap.
 * Rui Prior <rprior@inescporto.pt>. f_route failed to resolve fromif.
   Werner also noticed this and sent patch. Bad place... [RETHINK]
 * Kim Woelders <kim@woelders.dk>. 
   - changes in Makefile for cross-compile
   - understand "all" as alias for "any"
   - bug in iprule.c
!  [ NB. Also he sent patch for kernel. Do not forget! ]
 * Werner. Fix to tc core files: wrong exits etc.
 * Bernd Jendrissek <berndj@prism.co.za>. Some sanitizations of tc.c
!* Marian Jancar <marian.jancar@infonet.cz>. He say q_tbf prints wrong latency!
!  Seems, he is wrong.
 * Werner (and Nikolai Vladychevski <niko@isl.net.mx>) check ->print_copts
   to avoid segfault.

  * This snapshot fixes some compatibility problems, which I introduced
    occasionally to previous snapshots.
  * Namely, "allot" to "tc qdisc add ... cbq" is accepted but ignored.
  * Another changes are supposed to be shown in the next snapshot, but
    because of troubles with "allot" I am forced to release premature
    version. Namely, "cell", "prio", "weight" etc. are optional now.

	ONLY NUMERIC ADDRESSES.

[981101]
  * now it should compile for any libc.
