Hi,
Thanks Axel for testing 3.16-rc1!
I have now published fping 3.16-rc2 with a very big change: the fping
and fping6 binaries are now united into a single binary, as modern
IPv6-enabled tools should be. There are now additional options '-4' and
'-6' to force IPv4-only or IPv6-only mode.
Here are the release notes:
* INCOMPATIBILITY WARNING:
fping and fping6 are now unified into one binary. This means that for
example doing 'fping
www.google.com' is going to ping the IPv6 IP of
www.google.com on IPv6-enabled hosts. If you need exact compatibility with
old versions, you can:
- compile fping with --disable-ipv6 (or use a wrapper, and call 'fping -4')
- compile fping with --enable-ipv6 and rename it to fping6 (same as 'fping -6')
* (feature) Unified 'fping' and 'fping6' into one binary (#80)
* (feature) New option '-4' to force IPv4
* (feature) New option '-6' to force IPv6
* (feature) Support kernel-timestamping of received packets (#46)
* (feature) Simplify restrictions: only -i >= 1 and -p >= 10 are enforced now
* (feature) --enable-ipv6 is now default (you can use --disable-ipv6 to disable IPv6 support)
* (bugfix) Fix option -m to return all IPs of a hostname
* (bugfix) Fix option -H (ttl) for IPv6
* (bugfix) Fix option -M (don't fragment) for IPv6
* (bugfix) Fix option -O (ToS) for IPv6
* (bugfix) Fix compatibility issue with AIX (#69, @blentzgh)
* (bugfix) Fix option -q not suppressing some ICMP error messages (#83)
* (bugfix) Fix option -M expecting an argument, when it shouldn't
* (bugfix) Fix minor issues found by Coverity Scan
Please test and let me know if you notice anything.
Cheers
