Incompatible changes

Handling numeric options changed

  • ping: use '.' (dot) as a decimal separator regardless locale (for -i/-W
    options). Since s20121121 till s20190709 decimal separator for -i option
    depended on locales ($LC_NUMERIC), but only when compiled with USE_IDN=yes.
    (issue #290, commit: d865d4c, 1530bc9)
  • ping: temporarily allow -i option to contain trailing non-numeric characters.
    Previously only -W option allowed this (non-numeric characters were silently
    discharged), now both -i/-W print warning. This will become fatal error in
    the future. (issue: #236, #290, commit: 562e0d5)

arping

clockdiff

  • add timeformat options: -T/--time-format <ctime|iso> and -I (alias for
    --time-format=iso)
  • use strftime() instead of deprecated ctime_r() (commit: d6e1d77)

ninfod

  • fix build with libcap 2.29 (issue: #246)
  • fix struct qtypeinfo packing (commit: f0a6348)

ping

  • [security] use random value for the identifier field instead of PID when using
    SOCK_RAW socket
  • allow user to specify VRF and source IP (commit: 9e08707)
  • try next addrinfo on connect failure (fixes reachability when getaddrinfo()
    returns IPv6 results first on hosts with only IPv4 routes available, commit:
    2705c82, c249e48)
  • fix IPv6 name resolution for hostnames with link-local addresses (commit: d217170)
  • fix print gateway IP on little endian architectures on IPPROTO_ICMP sockets
    (commit: e2e9a2d)
  • discard packets with wrong source address (comply RFC 1122, commit: 5e052ad)
  • suppress duplicate reply messages when ping multicast (issue: #195,
    originally reported: https://bugs.debian.org/498429)
  • allow any package size (-s) to be defined by user (issue: #210)
  • use C locale for parsing -i/-W options without IDN (commit: d865d4c)
  • yet another fix for round-trip time (RTT) (commit: 5b6c194, never ending
    story, see issue: #232)
  • reintroduce support of flow label for very old systems (issue: #268,
    regression: s20190324, originally reported: https://bugs.debian.org/682511,
    https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/iputils/blob/0bbd37701742cc6da0e91f6cc5ba6cf6a522fca2/f/iputils-20100418-flowlabel.patch,
    originally fixes in fed7e63 from November 2012)
  • fix IPv6 error handling for old kernels without ping socket (regression: s20161105)
  • move sources subdirectory (affects built binary location)

rdisc

  • report in --version whether compiled with server support

tftpd

  • stop building by default (use dnsmasq instead)
  • add example xinetd file
  • move sources subdirectory (affects built binary location)

Localization

General cleanup (across code)

  • add md5 implementation to avoiding linking to crypto libraries, or expect
    kernel api to provide md5 functionality (issue: #239)
  • use clock_gettime() rather gettimeofday() (issue: #213, #214, #215)
  • use CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
  • various fixes discovered via LGTM scan and clang-tidy (missing includes,
    incorrect types and declarations, etc)
  • man pages spelling fixes
  • refactoring

Meson build system

  • Allow to set using setcap-setuid.sh per application (commit: 054670a)
  • fix build for non-systemd builds
  • don't require xsltproc any more (instead skip building man and html)
  • fix static build with libidn2

Travis CI

  • switch to docker based builds to tests on different distro releases,
    including cross-compilation and musl libc (issue: #169)
