1 v3.0.718 (25 January 2014)
2 - (SECURITY!) Don't chroot() by default. The user must specify
3 a --chroot dir for this to happen now.
4 - Bring back the "--base /path" functionality.
5 - Add explicit warning about graphs being blank if we can't get
6 local IPs on an interface.
7 - Don't crash in timer_stop() if monotonic time stops or goes
9 - Lots of internal cleanups.
10 - Use time_t instead of "long" for time. This is more correct
11 and should fix darkstat on OpenBSD 5.5 on 32-bit systems.
13 v3.0.717 (14 August 2013)
14 - (OS X only) Work around lack of clock_gettime().
15 - Fix crash due to str_appendf() not understanding %ld.

18 - Implement support for multiple capture interfaces.
19 - Support multiple local IPs on an interface.
20 - Only error out if we fail to create all HTTP sockets.
21 In particular, this helps on IPv6-incapable platforms.
22 - Use monotonic time over wall time where appropriate.
23 - Portability fixes for NetBSD and OpenBSD.
25 v3.0.715 (January 2012)
26 - Compatibility fixes for Hurd and Solaris.
27 - Use link-time optimization and automake-like silent rules.
28 - Support systems without ifaddrs.h again.
29 - Continuing fixes for IPv6 support.

34 - Fall back to gethostbyaddr() if getnameinfo() fails.
35 - Fix detection of IPv4 multicast addresses.
36 - Fix decoding on OpenBSD DLT_NULL interfaces (e.g. gif(4))
39 - IPv6 support! Big ups to Mats Erik Andersson who did most
41 - Allow sort on last-seen, thanks to Dirk Koopman.

43 - Add --disable-debug configure flag, thanks to Malte S. Stretz.
44 - Make it possible to export the database without resetting it:
46 - Web: Use relative URLs, so darkstat works properly
47 behind mod_proxy, thanks to Malte S. Stretz.
50 - Don't require --verbose for pcap_stats.
51 - Survive interface going down on Linux.
52 - Support DLT_RAW, implemented by Anton S. Ustyuzhanin.
53 - Skip accounting for hosts or ports if their max
55 - Implement --hexdump for troubleshooting.

65 - Web: Add --no-macs option to hide mac addresses.
67 - Web: Make tables prettier.
68 - Host detail view now triggers a DNS lookup.
69 - Manpage tweaks, also move from section 1 to section 8.
70 - Track and show how long ago a host was last seen.
71 Suggested by: Prof A Olowofoyeku (The African Chief)
72 - Show pcap_stats (like number of packets dropped) in the web
73 interface and also upon exit.
75 v3.0.711 (August 2008)
76 - Split --debug into --verbose and --no-daemon
77 - Include launchd config and instructions for running darkstat
78 on Mac OS X. Contributed by Damien Clauzel.

80 - Web: Add automatic reload button. Thanks Dennis!
81 - Web: Add a graph legend with min/avg/max.
82 - Web: Remove hashtable stats pages.
86 - Implement limiting of number of ports tracked per host,
87 configurable on the commandline (--ports-max)
88 - Optionally don't track high ports (--highest-port)
90 - Fix rare use-after-free resulting from hosts table reduction.
91 - Make hosts limit configurable (--hosts-max)
92 - Option to read from capfile as alternative to live capture
93 (really only useful for development, benchmarking)
94 - Add the sniffed interface name to HTML reports.
99 - Fix silly bug in formatting hex.
100 - Check for pcap.h in include/pcap/ for old RedHat-a-likes.
101 - New commandline parser.
102 - To stay in foreground, pass --debug instead of -d.
103 - We can now reset all statistics at runtime (send SIGUSR1)
104 - Make chroot dir configurable on cmdline (--chroot)
105 - Make privdrop user configurable on cmdline (--user)
106 - Implement daylog (brings back a v2 feature)
107 - Import and export hosts and graphs, this brings back a fairly
108 major v2 feature. Big ups to Ben for doing a lot of the
109 design and implementation of this feature!
110 Note that the v3 database format is, by design, incompatible
112 - Report average KB/s in and out on graphs.
113 Thanks to Damian Lozinski for suggestion and first cut at the
115 - Fix graph rotation when the delay between rotations is big
116 enough to clear an entire graph.
117 - Make ip_proto 8 bits wide, to match the IP header.
118 - Implement pidfile functionality for people who prefer to
119 handle daemons in this manner.
123 - Decode DLT_PPP and DLT_PPP_SERIAL on NetBSD,
124 patch courtesy of Bartosz Kuzma.

140 argument to suppress it.
141 - Commandline arg (-l) to graph traffic entering/leaving the
142 local network as opposed to just the local IP. v2 had this.
143 - Allow configure-time override of CHROOT_DIR and PRIVDROP_USER.
144 - Web: new color scheme.

158 patch courtesy of Ingo Bressler

163 - Fix shutdown on Linux.
164 - Performance improvements.
166 - Work around BPF being immediate on Linux.
167 This improves performance.
168 - Drop privileges when we don't need them. Chroot. Generally
169 be more paranoid. Thanks to Chris Kuethe for patches and
171 - Daemonize. (run in the background)
172 - Graphs: Make the entire bar have the same label (instead of
173 different labels for in/out), add thousands separators for
174 legibility, include the position/index (i.e. day 22)
175 - Instead of reducing the hosts_db based on time, do it based on
177 - Implement somewhat better handling of time moving backwards -
178 we assume that real time is monotonic and just renumber the
179 graph bars. (time is hard)
180 - Greatly improve IPC with the DNS child, make it more efficient
181 and much more robust.
182 - Decode DLT_PPP_ETHER (pppoe0 on OpenBSD), patch courtesy of
187 First public release of darkstat 3. Almost a complete rewrite
188 since v2.6. Architecture much improved, better portability and
189 stability. Approximate feature parity with v2, missing
194 End of the line for darkstat 2.
