New release of FastNetMon Community: 1.2.2 Whitstable

[Pavel Odintsov]

Hello Community!

I'm very happy to announce the new release of FastNetMon Community. We made great progress with performance improvements and added plenty of new platforms.

New platforms:

• Added support for RHEL 9, Alma Linux 9, Rocky Linux 9
• We're part of Fedora Upstream (Rawhide, 35, 36)
• Added upstream support for Homebrew and MacOS builds
• Deprecated Ubuntu 14.04. The last version which supports Ubuntu 14.04 is 1.2.1.
• We're back in Debian upstream

Changes:

• Upgrade our custom gcc compiler to latest version available: 12.1.0
• Switched FastNetMon to C++ 20
• Reworked convert_timeval_to_date to std::put_time to avoid low level snprintf manipulations
• Reworked Patricia code to be more C++ compliant
• Added logic to log only to console to use native systemd logging facilities with flag --log_to_console
• Added new flag disable_pid_logic which disables PID writing and checking logic. It's legacy for init based distros and we do not need it for modern distributions
• Added explicit error if we cannot create socket for AF_PACKET
• Debian upstream build system was moved to Debian Salsa
• Moved all FastNetMon Community files to /opt/fastnetmon-community
• Upgrade GoBGP to 2.27
• Moved all binaries to /opt/fastnetmon-community/app/bin
• Upgrade Boost 1.74 to 1.78
• Upgrade json-c to 0.13.1 20180305
• Added logic to fix set_boost_process_name compilation on Apple platforms
• Ported libsflow to our unified endian-less conversion library
