    Release history for jpcap - Network Packet Capture Facility for Java


2001.05.28 21:00 UTC - jpcap v0.00.03
packaged as: jpcap-v0.00.03.tar.gz

  Major modifications to packet capture facility with changes to the 
  capture interface. First release of network traffic visualization tool.


  New Functionality

    o The sample client application has been enhanced to render
      a real-time graphical visualization of network traffic 
      flow between hosts during packet capture.

    o Two types of data capture are now supported. Raw packet data capture 
      for clients implementing RawPacketListener and high-level packet 
      object capture for clients implementing PacketListener.

    o For clients capturing packet objects, the following packet types 
      and protocols are currently supported:

        Packet
          EthernetPacket
            ARPPacket
            IPPacket
              ICMPPacket
              TCPPacket
              UDPPacket

    o Added support for link-level transports with packet headers other than 
      ethernet.


  Bugs Fixed

    o Incorrect handling of some exceptions thrown from C to Java through
      JNI were crashing the VM.

This is the initial developer's release of jpcap.


  New Functionality

    o Most libpcap functions are encapsulated in libjpcap.

    o High-level packet capture interface is exposed in the class
      net.sourceforge.jpcap.capture.PacketCapture

    o A sample client which uses the core PacketCapture class has
