Remove unused missing/strdup.c.
(FIXME: somebody please wrap the line below just before the release)
AODV, AppleTalk, BOOTP, CHDLC, DCCP, EAP, EGP, EIGRP, ForCES, Geneve, GRE, ICMP, Juniper, L2TP, LISP, mobile, MSDP, NetFlow, NFLOG, NTP, OLSR, pflog, PGM, RADIUS, RIP, RSVP, SCTP, SNMP, TCP, UDP, vsock: Modernize packet parsing style

IEEE 802.11: Simplify handle_action().
Provide GET_ macros for 4-byte and 8-byte floating-point numbers
and use them rather than custom code
Disregard setlinebuf(3), always use setvbuf(3).
Change Sun RPC code licence to BSD-3-Clause.
Fix "ip broadcast" netmask byte order with the -f flag.
Remove pcap-missing.h.
Building and testing:
Autoconf: Remove detection of early IPv6 stacks.
Detect OS IPv6 support using AF_INET6 only.
Remove all remaining support for BSD/OS, IRIX, {OSF/1, Digital Unix,
Tru64 Unix}, SINIX and Ultrix.
Fix compiling on GNU/Hurd.
Make illumos build warning-free.
Makefile.in: Update the .c.o build rule (Remove hacks for old SunOS 4).
Autoconf: fix buggy tests for ether_ntohost().
Makefile.in: Do not install a version-suffixed tcpdump binary if the
.devel file does not exists.
tests: On HP-UX use "diff -c" by default.
autogen.sh: Allow to configure Autoconf warnings.
autogen.sh: Delete all trailing blank lines at end of configure.
Reimplement the tests similarly to libpcap.
Documentation:
man: Clarify the "any" pseudo-interface further.
DayOfTheWeek, Month DD, YYYY / The Tcpdump Group
Summary for 4.99.6 tcpdump release (so far!)
Refine protocol decoding for:
DNS: Use ND_TCHECK_LEN() instead of a custom bounds check.
IPv6: Add a missing comma and remove a colon in the output.
TCP: Note if the Urgent Pointer is non-zero while URG flag not set,
if the verbose level is > 1 (option -vv and more).
TCP: Note if the Acknowledgment Number is non-zero while ACK flag not set,
if the verbose level is > 1 (option -vv and more).
TCP: Fix Reset segment processing.
IP, IPv6: Fix setting the snapshot length for the payload.
IP: Use ND_TTEST_LEN() instead of a custom bounds check.
frag6: Add a bounds check in non-verbose mode.
PTP: Remove spaces before colons in output.
PTP: Fix management packet fields.
ISO: Avoid undefined behavior and integer overflow in the fletcher
checksum calculation.
NFS: Delete dead code.
BOOTP: Use an uint16_t variable to get the result of a GET_BE_U_2().
ZEP: use the exissting NTP time formatting code.
NTP: Fix p_ntp_time_fmt() using epoch 1/epoch 2 convention (RFC 4330).
NTP: Update a field name with the RFC 5905 name (Origin Timestamp).
User interface:
Add optional unit suffix on -C file size.
Improve the handling of size suffixes for -C.
Warn that options -A, -x[x] and -X[X] are mutually exclusive.
For PCAP_ERROR_CAPTURE_NOTSUP, show the error message provided
by libpcap for that error if it's non-empty.
Source code:
Fix '-tt' option printing when time > 2106-02-07T06:28:15Z.
Add sub-second packet timestamp checks for invalid micro/nano.
Remove unused missing/snprintf.c.
Fix incompatible pointer types with time functions calls on Windows.
Use C99 macros to define 64-bit constants and maximum 64-bit values.
Windows:
Fixed to find wpcap.dll if WinPcap isn't installed and Npcap was
installed without the WinPcap API compatibility option. (GitHub
issue #1226).
Building and testing:
Makefile.in: Use a local libpcap in the releasecheck target.
CMake: Fix build with CMake 3.31.
autotools, CMake: don't separately test whether snprintf(3) is
available and whether it's suitable - the test for whether it's
suitable also fails if it's unavailable.
CMake: Skip snprintf(3) tests when cross-compiling.
autotools, CMake: fix issues with snprintf test and sanitizers.
CMake: check whether check_c_source_runs() works, treat the build
as a cross-compile if it doesn't work.
Autoconf: Use AC_SYS_YEAR2038_RECOMMENDED when possible if the
environment variable BUILD_YEAR2038 = yes (via autogen.sh).
Friday, August 30, 2024 / The Tcpdump Group

CARP: Print the protocol name before any GET_().
CDP: only hex-dump unknown TLVs in verbose mode.
