95 design and implementation of this feature!
96 Note that the v3 database format is, by design, incompatible
98 - Report average KB/s in and out on graphs.
99 Thanks to Damian Lozinski for suggestion and first cut at the

102 enough to clear an entire graph.
103 - Make ip_proto 8 bits wide, to match the IP header.
104 - Implement pidfile functionality for people who prefer to
105 handle daemons in this manner.
109 - Decode DLT_PPP and DLT_PPP_SERIAL on NetBSD,
110 patch courtesy of Bartosz Kuzma.

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