* Mon Apr 25 2022 Dominique Leuenberger - Drop libscamperfile1 provides from the lib subpckage: libscamperfile.so.2 is not a drop-in replacement for anything that linked libscamperfile.so.1, and as such the provides is invalid. The obsoletes is technically wrong, but is there to fix the upgrade path of a wrongly-packaged libscamperfile.so.2 in a libscamperfile1 package.

* use HAVE_SYSCTL macro to solve a compile issue on android

* json output format for tracelb (MDA traceroute)
* print an error message if an output file cannot be opened
* document (in warts.5) the offset variable in a warts traceroute record, and scamper_trace_dtree_t

* libscamperfile:
* don\'t crash on a zero length file, or other conditions where sf->type is SCAMPER_FILE_NONE sc_ally:
* fix example in manual page
* dump 3: when merging routers in a transitive closure, remove the obsolete router from the dump list.
* if an address is repeated in the input file then complain
* sc_bdrmap:
* document -C csum in sc_bdrmap.1

* document updates in sc_ttlexp.1
* sc_uptime:
* add an optional -I interval parameter which controls how frequently we want an address to be probed. add logic to exit early if we are probing on with -I and there is a list of low-priority probing that is not empty, so that sc_uptime can meet the probe interval.
* add the ability to expire addresses out of the database after they have not been seen in traceroute for a while, and they do not respond with an incrementing IPID value, with optional -E expiry parameter.
* loading addresses into the state database is now a separate step (-a)
* add a -c option to create and initialise a database file
* add do-not-probe support
* replace import code that used a row for each sample with a blob that stores multiple samples per blob.

* print the number of probes sent by traceroute in the json output.
* enforce a minimum firsthop value of 1 when reading a warts traceroute object.
* sc_bdrmap:
* choose a static ICMP checksum value when using Paris traceroute to reduce churn in observed topology in bdrmap output.
* add ability to pass list of ASes to -d traces to see traceroutes towards specific ASes, useful for understanding bdrmap inferences.
* Thu Mar 08 2018 sebix+novell.comAATTsebix.at- update to version 20180309:
* sc_
*:
* For the utilities (sc_
*) that read input files, do not allocate memory to hold the entire input file in memory before parsing the file. This improvement affects sc_ally, sc_attach, sc_bdrmap, sc_filterpolicy, sc_radargun, sc_speedtrap, sc_tbitblind, sc_tbitpmtud, sc_uptime, sc_warts2text.
* sc_tbitpmtud:
* add scamper driver from IMC2010 paper to collect data on webserver responsiveness to ICMP packet too big messages, and perform rudimentary analysis of collected data.
* sc_ttlexp:
* new utility to dump source addresses from ICMP TTL expired messages in warts files.
* sc_wartsfix:
* add a manual page
* sc_warts2csv:
* add a manual page

* add a blind-fin tbit test, which tests receiver behavior to TCP FIN packets which could have come from an off-path attacker. - sc_radargun:
* add -d 2 option, which dumps interface IP-ID behavior classifications.
* Thu Nov 30 2017 sebix+novell.comAATTsebix.at- add patch new-openssl.patch to compile with new openssl versions

* replace recursive versions of some functions with iterative versions.
* add cycle-start and cycle-stop json record implementations.
* fix traceroute json record: the hop transmit time value it reported was junk.
* add support for sending json over the control socket. use \"attach format json\" to get this mode; \"attach\" by itself still returns uuencoded warts. Initial patch supplied by Young Hyun.
* fix possible memory leaks detected with static analysis.
* quality assurance on research paper cites in manual pages.
* spelling errors noticed by Iain R. Learmonth. sc_ally:
* add feature to dump inferred aliases from the collected data. sc_speedtrap:
* add threaded implementation of pairwise comparison to form candidate alias sets, if pthreads are detected at compilation time and - -disable-threads configure option is not supplied. sc_uptime:
* new scamper driver to infer IPv6 device reboot windows if the device returns an incrementing identifier field in the IPv6 fragmentation header. the driver is not built by default, as it expects sqlite3. use --with-sc_uptime configure option to build. https://www.caida.org/~mjl/pubs/spf.pdf
* Thu Jun 22 2017 sebix+novell.comAATTsebix.at- update to 20161204a
* More fixes to libscamperfile caught with fuzz testing. corrupt warts files provided by Greg Ward of Dyn
* if targets or commands are specified in a file, and that file ends after all probing of commands in that file has completed, finish the source, allowing scamper to exit. this scenario is most likely when stdin is the input file. Reported by Alex Colvin of Dyn
* use select/poll/epoll/kqueue to look for read events on stdin files
* malloc enough memory for a prefix6_t in the prefixtree code. reported by Sebastian Wagner via gcc7. only sc_bdrmap uses that code

* allow source IP address to be null when outputting a trace with json
* update sc_tbitblind.1 man page to show correct use of scamper\'s IPFW firewall support, which changed in the 20161204 release
* fix unlikely unaligned access when computing checksums with IPv6 addresses
* Wed Jun 21 2017 sebix+novell.comAATTsebix.at- update to 20161204
* add remote control socket support to scamper. scamper can be configured to connect to a remote controller at run time to allow remote systems to control a scamper instance. the remote controller is handled by the sc_remoted utility, and is documented in the sc_remoted manual page (see below).
* fixes to libscamperfile caught with fuzz testing. corrupt warts data files provided by Greg Ward of Dyn.
* add a PATRICIA trie implementation based off Sedgewick\'s Algorithms in C++ book. this improves the performance of scamper compared to holding addresses in splaytrees.

* improve speed of scamper_writebuf by allocating pagesize blocks at a time.
* begin to document ping warts records in warts(5).
* fix debug printf implementation so that all features will be built in as long as --without-debugfile is not used. backported to 20141211g.
* silence compiler warnings from Microsoft Visual Studio. backported to 20141211g.
