== 1.7.7 - 22-Jan-2015
* Pull request #1 from Mike George. This fixes domains which have http in them.
== 1.7.6 - 13-Dec-2014
* Changed TCP handling yet again, as it was returning false positives. Thanks
go to Marcos Piccinini for the spot.
== 1.7.5 - 2-Nov-2014
* Added packet count and intervals for external pings. Thanks go to Jack Hayter
for the patch.
* No longer report closed TCP port as active. Thanks go to Joshua Yanovski for
the spot and patch.
== 1.7.4 - 16-Apr-2014
* Remove the Timeout block for the Ping::HTTP class because it wasn't working
with JRuby. Instead, we use the builtin open_timeout and read_timeout
accessors on the underlying http request. Thanks go to Ian Heggie for the
spot.
* The Ping::HTTP#ping? more robustly parses out the port from the uri argument
if provided. In addition, the default port is again set back to 80 as a
last resort in the constructor.
* Added timeout and port tests for the Ping::HTTP class.
* If a host is unreachable explicitly set the result to false regardless of
the actual exit status. This appears to only affect Windows 7 and later.
* Reinstated the Timeout block for the Ping::ICMP class. Without it, threaded
pings could end up in an infinite loop. Thanks go to muirmanders for the spot.
== 1.7.3 - 3-Apr-2014
* Removed the Timeout block for the Ping::External class as it apparently
hasn't worked with open3 for some time. Instead, it now uses your command
line ping's timeout switch. Thanks go to Andrea Bernardo Ciddio for the
spot.
* Made ICMP pings thread safe. I think.
* Removed a redundant Timeout block in the Ping::ICMP class.
* If an ICMP ping times out, the exception attribute is set to "timeout".
* Added explicit support for AIX for the Ping::External class.
* Bumped minimum required Ruby version to 1.9.3.
== 1.7.2 - 21-Jan-2014
* Fixed a bug in the Ping::HTTP constructor where it was not honoring the
port if provided as the second argument. Thanks go to Florian Anderiasch
for the spot.
* Removed win32-open3 require in the Ping::External class since it isn't
needed in Ruby 1.9.x or later.
* Refactored the Ping::External class so that it checks the exit status rather
than try to parse output. Thanks go to Miguel Tubia for the suggestion.
* Dropped explicit support for Windows XP.
* Removed reference to win32-open3 in README.
== 1.7.1 - 26-Sep-2013
* Fixed a bug in the Ping::TCP class where it could return nil instead
of false. Thanks go to Grandy Nguyen for the patch.
== 1.7.0 - 25-Aug-2013
* Now requires Ruby 1.9.x or later.
* Replaced the main ping code for the Ping::TCP class. The timeout module
really doesn't work very well with sockets, and so a raw socket approach
combined with IO.select is now used instead.
* Updates to the doc/ping.txt file.
== 1.6.2 - 8-Aug-2013
* Fixed a bug in the ICMP ping helper module. Thanks go to Yuichi
Tsunematsu for the spot.
* The win32-security library is not just a development dependency. Thanks
again go to Yuichi Tsunematsu for the spot.
* Updated the icmp ping tests.
* Updated the gemspec for MS Windows.
== 1.6.1 - 17-Jul-2013
* Automatically set the scheme to "http" if not present when performing
HTTP pings. See https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8645 for an issue
with the uri library that led to this change. Thanks go to Preston Lee
for the spot.
* Removed the windows/system_info dependency, since it added other
dependencies just to check the Windows version. Instead, I added a
helper file that adds some needed Windows functions using FFI.
* Added Rake as a development dependency and updated the Gemfile
source because Bundler. Thanks to Jean-Philippe Doyle for the patches.
* Added some warning text to the Net::Ping::External tests for users
who are using OpenDNS. In short, you will probably get test failures
and surprising true results for bad hosts.
== 1.6.0 - 19-Mar-2013
* Split out the ldap portion of the code into its own branch.
* Don't require resolv-replace on Ruby 1.9.3 or later.
* Now gets proxy information from the http_proxy, https_proxy, and
no_proxy environment variables and uses that when making requests.
Thanks go to Kevin Olbrich for the patch.
== 1.5.2 - 4-Nov-2011
* The Net::Ping::HTTP class now defaults to using HEAD instead of GET
for its ping test. You can alter this via the get_request accessor.
Thanks got to Balazs Kutil for the patch.
* Added the ssl_verify_mode accessor to the Net::Ping::HTTP class, which
defaults to VERIFY_NONE. This fixes possible warnings resulting from
missing SSL certificates when using https. Thanks go to Balazs Kutil
for the patch.
