Will now handle + tracert from Win95 and NT as well as FreeBSD + traceroute, which uses UDP packets to non-existent + ports. + +Verstion 1.7: January 9, 1997 (cjm) + - Reduced malloc() activity for ICMP echo and + timestamp requests. + + - Added handling for out-of-order IP fragments. + + - Switched to differential checksum computation + for IP headers (TCP, UDP and ICMP checksums + were already differential). + + - Accepts FTP data connections from other than + port 20. This allows one ftp connections + from two hosts which are both running packet + aliasing. + + - Checksum error on FTP transfers. Problem + in code located by Martin Renters and + Brian Somers. + +Version 1.8: January 14, 1997 (cjm) + - Fixed data type error in function StartPoint() + in alias_db.c (this bug did not exist before v1.7) + Problem in code located by Ari Suutari. + +Version 1.9: February 1, 1997 (Eivind Eklund <perhaps@yes.no>) + - Added support for IRC DCC (ee) + + - Changed the aliasing routines to use ANSI style + throughout (ee) + + - Minor API changes for integration with other + programs than PPP (ee) + + - Fixed minor security hole in alias_ftp.c for + other applications of the aliasing software. + Hole could _not_ manifest in ppp+pktAlias, but + could potentially manifest in other applications + of the aliasing. (ee) + + - Connections initiated from packet aliasing + host machine will not have their port number + aliased unless it conflicts with an aliasing + port already being used. (There is an option + to disable this for debugging) (cjm) + + - Sockets will be allocated in cases where + there might be port interference with the + host machine. This can be disabled in cases + where the ppp host will be acting purely as a + masquerading router and not generate any + traffic of its own. + (cjm) + +Version 2.0: March, 1997 (cjm) + - Aliasing links are cleared only when a host interface address + changes. + + - PacketAliasPermanentLink() API added. + + - Option for only aliasing private, unregistered + IP addresses added. + + - Substantial rework to the aliasing lookup engine. + +Version 2.1: May, 1997 (cjm) + - Continuing rework to the aliasing lookup engine + to support multiple incoming addresses and static + NAT. PacketAliasRedirectPort() and + PacketAliasRedirectAddr() added to API. + + - Now supports outgoing as well as incoming ICMP + error messges. + +Version 2.2: July, 1997 (cjm) + - Rationalized API function names to all begin with + "PacketAlias..." Old function names are retained + for backwards compatitibility. + + - Packet aliasing engine will now free memory of + fragments which are never resolved after a timeout + period. Once a fragment is resolved, it becomes + the users responsibility to free the memory. + +Version 2.3: August 11, 1997 (cjm) + - Problem associated with socket file descriptor + accumulation in alias_db.c corrected. The sockets + had to be closed when a binding failed. Problem + in code located by Gordon Burditt. + +Version 2.4: September 1, 1997 (cjm) + - PKT_ALIAS_UNREGISTERED_ONLY option repaired. + This part of the code was incorrectly re-implemented + in version 2.1. + +Version 2.5: December, 1997 (ee) + - Added PKT_ALIAS_PUNCH_FW mode for firewall + bypass of FTP/IRC DCC data connections. Also added + improved TCP connection monitoring. + +Version 2.6: May, 1998 (amurai) + - Added supporting routine for NetBios over TCP/IP. + +Version 3.0: January 1, 1999 + - Transparent proxying support added. + - PPTP redirecting support added based on patches + contributed by Dru Nelson <dnelson@redwoodsoft.com>. |
