Summary for 1.10.1 libpcap release (so far!)
Packet filtering:
Fix "type XXX subtype YYY" giving a parse error
Source code:
Add PCAP_AVAILABLE_1_11.
Building and testing:
Rename struct bpf_aux_data to avoid NetBSD compile errors
Squelch some compiler warnings
Squelch some Bison warnings
Fix cross-builds with older kernels lacking BPF_MOD and BPF_XOR
Fix Bison detection for minor version 0.
Fix parallel build with FreeBSD make.
Get DLT_MATCHING_MAX right in gencode.c on NetBSD.
Define timeradd() and timersub() if necessary.
Fix Cygwin/MSYS target directories.
Fix symlinking with DESTDIR.

library.
Check for Arm64 as well as x86-64 when looking for packet.lib on
Windows.
Documentation:
Refine Markdown in README.md.
Improve the description of portrange in filters.
README.linux.md isn't Markdown, rename it just README.linux.
pcapng:
Support reading version 1.2, which some writers produce, and which
is the same as 1.0 (some new block types were added, but
that's not sufficient reason to bump the minor version number,
as code that understands those new block types can handle them
in a 1.0 file)
Linux:
Drop support for text-mode USB captures, as we require a 2.6.27
or later kernel (credit to Chaoyuan Peng for noting the
sscanf vulnerabilities in the text-mode code that got me to
realize that we didn't need this code any more)
Bluetooth: fix non-blocking mode.
Don't assume that all compilers used to build for Linux support
the __atomic builtins
Windows:
Add more information in "interface disappeared" error messages, in
the hopes of trying to figure out the cause.
Treat ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED as "device was removed".
Indicate in the error message which "device was removed" error
occurred.
Report the Windows error status if PacketSendPacket() fails.
Use %lu for ULONGs in error message formats.
Don't treat the inability to find airpcap.dll as an error.
Ignore spurious error reports by Microsoft Surface mobile
telephony modem driver
rpcap:
Clean up error checking and error messages for server address
lookup.

snspshot length greater than the supported maximum
Capture file writing:
Create the file in pcap_dump_open_append() if it doesn't exist

errors
Fix some inetd issues in rpcapd
Fix rpcapd core dumps with invalid configuration file
On UN*X, don't have rpcapd tell the client why authentication
failed, so a brute-force attacker can't distinguish between
"unknown user name" and "known user name, wrong password"
Allow rpcapd to rebind more rapidly (GitHub issue #765)
Documentation:
Improve man pages, including adding backward compatibility notes
Building and testing:

* Fix build on RHEL5.
* Fix shared library build on AIX.
Changes 1.1.0:
* Add SocketCAN capture support
* Add Myricom SNF API support
* Update Endace DAG and ERF support
* Add support for shared libraries on Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX
* Build, install, and un-install shared libraries by default;
don't build/install shared libraries on platforms we don't support
* Fix building from a directory other than the source directory
* Fix compiler warnings and builds on some platforms
* Update config.guess and config.sub
* Support monitor mode on mac80211 devices on Linux
* Fix USB memory-mapped capturing on Linux; it requires a new DLT_
value
* On Linux, scan /sys/class/net for devices if we have it; scan
it, or /proc/net/dev if we don't have /sys/class/net, even if
we have getifaddrs(), as it'll find interfaces with no
addresses
* Add limited support for reading pcap-ng files
* Fix BPF driver-loading error handling on AIX
* Support getting the full-length interface description on FreeBSD
* In the lexical analyzer, free up any addrinfo structure we got back
from getaddrinfo().
* Add support for BPF and libdlpi in OpenSolaris (and SXCE)
* Hyphenate "link-layer" everywhere
* Add /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon to the list of usbmon locations
* In pcap_read_linux_mmap(), if there are no frames available, call
poll() even if we're in non-blocking mode, so we pick up
errors, and check for the errors in question.
* Note that poll() works on BPF devices is Snow Leopard
* If an ENXIO or ENETDOWN is received, it may mean the device has
gone away. Deal with it.
* For BPF, raise the default capture buffer size to from 32k to 512k
* Support ps_ifdrop on Linux
* Added a bunch of #ifdef directives to make wpcap.dll (WinPcap) compile
under cygwin.

This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
* Compile with IPv6 support by default
* Compile with large file support on by default
* Add pcap-config script, which deals with -I/-L flags for compiling
* DLT: Add IPMB
* DLT: Add LAPD
* DLT: Add AX25 (AX.25 w/KISS header)
* DLT: Add JUNIPER_ST
* 802.15.4 support
* Variable length 802.11 header support
* X2E data type support
* SITA ACN Interface support - see README.sita
* Support for zerocopy BPF on platforms that support it
* Better support for dealing with VLAN tagging/stripping on Linux
* Fix dynamic library support on OSX
* Change build process to put public libpcap headers into pcap subir
* DLT: Add value for IPMI IPMB packets
* DLT: Add value for u10 Networks boards
* Require <net/pfvar.h> for pf definitions - allows reading of pflog formatted
libpcap files on an OS other than where the file was generated

Lots of minor cosmetic changes to output printers
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
