Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent::FastPing

TODO: range interleaving

2.01 Sun Feb 6 01:23:25 CET 2011

• add_hosts now allows mixed ipv4 and ipv6 addresses.
• netbsd and solaris lack PTHREAD_STACK_MIN. sigh.

2.0 Wed Feb 2 21:20:11 CET 2011

• use completely different object-oriented API. more complex, but also much more flexible.
• support host lists in addition to ranges.
• support per-pinger receive callbacks, no more global callback stuff.
• no longer embed floating point values in packet, to avoid relying on isnormal.
• use slightly faster ipv4 checksumming function.
• better cope with high overload conditions by using exponential backoff.
• add missing - sigh - common::sense dependency.

1.15 Sun Jan 30 00:55:10 CET 2011

• famous last words: final 1.x API release.
• bin/fastping didn't support ipv4 anymore, due to a thinko :/.

1.14 Sun Jan 30 00:36:19 CET 2011

• likely last 1.x release.
• use common sense.
• convert to AE API.
• convert bin/fastping to AnyEvent::Socket, so Socket6 is no longer required.
• enable ipv6 on freebsd, netbsd, openbsd, as it seems they got thier header file horrors sorted out.
• enable on cygwin, which lacks netinet/icmp6.h, but otherwise might work (untested).

1.13 Wed Apr 7 16:12:38 CEST 2010

• fix prototype of register_cb to match documentation.

1.12 Tue Nov 17 22:37:48 CET 2009

• convert to c89.

1.11 Sun May 18 22:09:13 CEST 2008

• count iterations from 1 in net-fping.
• clarified license.

0.02 Sun May 6 01:16:52 CEST 2007

• randomise the magic number used a bit so multiple net-fpings running on the same host do not see each others' replies.
• net-fping did not accept its floating-point arguments.
• add -h and usage to net-fping.
