* Tue Jun 13 2023 Sebastian Wagner - update to version 20230605:
* HEADSUP: if you previously used -e pidfile to record the pid of a running scamper process, there is a good chance that the pidfile is owned by root. scamper now attempts to write this file using the uid that started scamper, and will not be able to write it if scamper is not started by root (it should not be, rather the scamper binary should be setuid root). Please delete the existing pidfile, or change its ownership, prior to restarting scamper, or scamper will not start.
* scamper:
* write a process ID that the user that started scamper can kill in the pidfile when using privsep.
* when using privsep, exit the unprivileged process if the privileged process exits (is killed)
* run as real uid from the start of scamper, for both privsep and not-privsep.
* fix bug where attempting to open an unsupported datalink would leave a freed scamper_fd_t in the fd_tree and fd_list, leading to a crash.
* fix double free triggered when a user provides an invalid dealias command.
* fix memory leak if the payload was specified twice to ping or trace
* rework pollfunc selection logic, use kqueue/epoll by default.
* remove _malloc_options = \"AJ\" as this only works on unsupported versions of FreeBSD.
* add additional paramaters to attach command to allow the user to override list and cycle parameters, documented in manual page.
* catch EAGAIN/EINTR from select/kqueue/epoll to allow gdb to attach and detach without flagging errors.
* for DNS replies for host command, record reply flags and rcode.
* add support for SOA and NS queries in host.
* add a JSON output for host measurements.
* do not let scamper emit warts to a tty. check for isatty in configure.
* only allow -O and -z to be specified multiple times in a trace command
* only allow -O to be specified multiple times in a ping command
* split command parsing logic out from task probing logic. add fuzzing cradle for parsing logic for all measurement types, and basic unit tests for dealias, ping, and trace parsing logic.
* autodetect output type by file extension if output type is not explicitly specified on the command line.
* libscamperfile:
* remove all struct definitions from libscamperfile (e.g. scamper_trace, scamper_ping, scamper_addr, etc). provide typedefs for each (scamper_trace_t) and _get() functions that return the field requested. This change will allow hopefully allow libscamperfile\'s version to stabilize. all scamper utilities now use these get functions.
* shift some functions that were previously implemented in libscamperfile into the one place they were used, if they were only used in (for example scamper / sc_analysis_dump / other scamper utility). delete other functions that were not used anywhere in the public scamper release.
* libscamperctrl:
* fix bug by ensuring line_off is always valid after the read.
* catch EAGAIN from select.
* add kqueue support.
* add scamper_attp_
* routines to allow applications to specify list and cycle parameters.
* for scamper_inst_do, take a parameter to keep with each task.
* add scamper_task_getparam function to get the parameter.
* add scamper_task_getcmd function to get the command associated with a task.
* use TYPE_FATAL instead of TYPE_ERR in application callback when scamper_inst_read encounters a fatal error, only use TYPE_ERR when scamper does not accept a command.
* sc_prefixprober:
* new driver to conduct measurements (ping, trace, tracelb) to an address in each prefix.
* sc_ally:
* use scamper_file_t outfiles, add ability to write gz/bz2/xz files.

* spelling errors noticed by Iain R. Learmonth. sc_ally:
* add feature to dump inferred aliases from the collected data. sc_speedtrap:

* 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

* Wed Jun 21 2017 sebix+novell.comAATTsebix.at- update to 20161204
