    Release 2.16.1

    This release updates `pcap_layers` to allow for very large packets
    (>1500 bytes).

    This can happen if you're using jumbo frames or are capturing packets
    before they are split into segments (TCP Segmentation Offloading etc).
    Previously, `pcap_layers` would silently drop any packet with a payload
    larger than 1460 bytes.

    Release 2.16.0

    This release updates funny classes/qtypes for the query classification
    indexer, updates pcap-threads to v4.2.0 and, thanks to Jens Finkhaeuser,
    fixes a 8 year old bug from a refactoring (sorry!).

    The query classification indexers funny class/qtype list has been updated
    to use the (semi-automatically updated) full list from IANA, which had
    not been updated for a while. So you'll see a lot less funny stuff now,
    no promises tho, it's DNS after all.

    With pcap-thread v4.2.0, DSC now supports reading link-type Linux cooked
    v2 (DLT_LINUX_SLL2) and has better handling when processing PCAPs.

    The priming query filter was incorrectly refactored to return true if it
    wasn't a priming query, this has been fixed so it once again return true
    for priming queries.

    Other changes are related to the migration to Codeberg, CI and
    documentation.

    Release 2.15.0

    This release fixes DNS parsing w.r.t. EDNS, implements better loop
    detection during name decompression and adds a lot of EDNS indexers
    and filters.

    Previously the DNS parser expected the additional records to come
    straight after the question section. Meaning that if the DNS packet
    had any answer or authority records, they would be parsed as additional
    records for the OPT record and EDNS information.

    Following new indexers has been added:
    - edns_cookie
    - edns_cookie_len
    - edns_cookie_client
    - edns_cookie_server
    - edns_ecs
    - edns_ecs_family
    - edns_ecs_source_prefix
    - edns_ecs_scope_prefix
    - edns_ecs_address
    - edns_ecs_subnet
    - edns_ede
    - edns_ede_code
    - edns_ede_textlen
    - edns_ede_text
    - edns_nsid
    - edns_nsid_len
    - edns_nsid_data
    - edns_nsid_text

    Following new filters has been added:
    - edns0-only
    - edns0-cookie-only
    - edns0-nsid-only
    - edns0-ede-only
    - edns0-ecs-only

    See man-page dsc.conf(5) for more information.

    Other fixes/additions:
    - Only parse entire DNS message if EDNS indexers are used
    - `dns_protocol`: Implement proper loop detection during decompression
    - `xmalloc`: Check return of `amalloc()` before using `memset()`/`memcpy()` because it's undefined behavior on null pointers

    Release 2.14.1

    Fixed a bug in TLD handling when using `tld_list`, it did not reset
    where it was in the QNAME when nothing was found and could therefor
    wrongly indicate something as a TLD.

    Also fixed a typo in the `dsc.conf` man-page.

    Release 2.14.0

    This release adds new configure option to control the file access to
    the output files, support for newer DNSTAP, improved DNSTAP message
    handling and updated Public Suffix List.

    - Fix #279: Add new conf options to control output file access:
      - `output_user`: set output file user ownership
      - `output_group`: set output file group ownership
      - `output_mod`: set output file mode bits
    - `dnstap`: Move DNSTAP essential attributes checks inside each type and customize them for that specific type
    - Update dnswire dependencies to v0.4.0
    - `encryption_index`: Add support for new DNSTAP DNS-over-QUIC socket protocol
    - Update builtin Public Suffix List (PSL)

    Release 2.13.2

    Updated pcap-thread to v4.0.1:

    Fixed issue with `pcap_dispatch()` during non-threaded timed runs by
    checking packet timestamp and use `pcap_breakloop()` if the run
    should end.
    Based on reports, it looks like `pcap_dispatch()` won't stop
    processing if load is high enough even if documentation says "only
    one bufferful of packets is read at a time".

    Many thanks to Klaus Darilion @klaus3000 (NIC.AT) for the report
    and helping to track down the issue and test fixes!

    Release 2.13.1

    This patch release is mainly for build and packages where MaxMind DB
    library is preferred over the legacy GeoIP library.
    MaxMind has announced that the databases for GeoIP will be EOL May 2022
    and recommends switching to GeoIP2 databases.

    Also updated DSC's description, removing references to the now
    discontinued Presenter and pointing to dsc-datatool instead.

    Release 2.13.0

    This release fixes a huge performance issue with hashing IPv6
    addresses, adds support for new DNSTAP messages types and protocols,
    and adds two new indexers.

    Thanks to a patch sent in by Ken Renard (@kdrenard) a rather huge
    performance issue related to hashing IPv6 addresses has been solved.
    Old code used a very incorrect assumption about addresses in general
    and while same way was used for IPv4, it didn't hit as hard as it did
    for IPv6.
    New code uses hashing functions on both address types and to quote
    the GitHub issue (by Ken):
    -"This performs about 5% better than what I did (51 sec versus 54 sec)
      for 5GB pcap file with nearly 50/50 split of IPv4 and IPv6 (3.7M/3.5M
      v4/v6 queries).
      Old inXaddr_hash() has been running for 75 minutes and is about 20%
      done. I say this is a winner!"

    Many thanks to Ken for pointing this out and supplying a patch!

    DSC now depends on dnswire v0.3.0 which includes new DNSTAP messages
    types and protocols that was recently added to DNSTAP's Protobuf
    definition.
    The new `UPDATE_QUERY` and `UPDATE_RESPONSE` messages types are
    now supported and are interpret as `AUTH_QUERY` and `AUTH_RESPONSE`.
    The new socket protocols for DOT, DOH and DNSCrypt are also supported
    and are interpret as TCP for indexers such as `ip_proto` and
    `transport`. To get stats on the encryption itself you can use the
    new indexer `encryption`.

    Two new indexers have been added:
    - `label_count`: Number of labels in the QNAME
    - `encryption`: Indicates whether the DNS message was carried over an
      encrypted connection or not, and if so over which. For example
      "unencrypted", "dot" (DNS-over-TLS), "doh" (DNS-over-HTTPS).

    Other changes:
    - `inX_addr`: Rework structure, separate IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
    - Fix some DNSTAP tests
    - `transport_index`: Fix typo in code documentation

    Release 2.12.0

    This release adds a new conf option `tld_list` to control what DSC
    considers are TLDs, and a script to convert the Public Suffix List to
    this format (see `man dsc-psl-convert` for more information).

    For example, using this option will allow DSC to gather statistics on
    domains like `co.uk` and `net.au` that would otherwise be counted as
    `uk` and `au`.

    The release also updates the man-pages, clarifying how to use multiple
    `interface` and other similar options. And removes the deprecated cron
    upload scripts.

    Release 2.11.0

    This release updates the built in known TLDs table and adds the optional
    configuration option `knowntlds_file` to, instead of using the built in
    table, load the data from a file.

    If compiled with only MaxMindDB support then ASN and Country indexer
    would complain (and exit) that no database has been specified.
    This release changes the behavior to match that of GeoIP support,
    making it possible to run without specifying a database.

    Other changes:
    - Fix compile warnings
    - COPR packaging fixes
    - `country_indexer`: Fixed typos in log messages (was copied from ASN)
    - Fix issues and false-positives reported by newer version of scan-build

    about DNSTAP and removes GeoIP from openSUSE/SLE packages as it has
    been deprecated on those platforms.

    Changes:
    - `daemon`: Fix bug with listening for SIGINT when in foreground mode
    - `dnstap`:
      - Fix #217: Unlink UNIX socket on exit if successfully initiated
      - Fix startup bug, `exit()` if unable to initialize
      - Fix #220:
        - Remove/hide a lot of debug messages and the printing of the DNSTAP message
        - Clarify a lot of the info and error messages
        - Prefix all DNSTAP related messages with `DNSTAP: `
    - Fix compile warnings and include headers when GeoIP is missing

    - `response_time_mode`
    - `response_time_bucket_size`
    - `response_time_max_queries`
    - `response_time_full_mode`

2019-02-11 Jerry Lundström

    Release 2.8.0

    This release brings an new indexer `response_time` (funded by NIC.AT!),
    support for MaxMind DB (GeoIP2) and an option to set the DNS port.

    The new indexer `response_time` can track queries and report the time
    it took to receive the response in buckets of microseconds or in
    logarithmic scales (see `response_time_mode`). It will also report
    timeouts, missing queries (received a response but have never seen the
    query), dropped queries (due to memory limitations) and internal errors.

    Here is an example output of log10 mode:

    <array name="response_time" dimensions="2" start_time="1478727151"
        stop_time="1478727180">
      <dimension number="1" type="All"/>
      <dimension number="2" type="ResponseTime"/>
      <data>
        <All val="ALL">
          <ResponseTime val="100000-1000000" count="77"/>
          <ResponseTime val="10000-100000" count="42"/>
          <ResponseTime val="1000-10000" count="3"/>
          <ResponseTime val="missing_queries" count="1"/>
        </All>
      </data>
    </array>

    New configuration options:
    - `asn_indexer_backend`: Control what backend to use for the ASN indexer
    - `country_indexer_backend`: Control what backend to use for the
      country indexer
    - `maxminddb_asn`: Specify database for ASN lookups using MaxMind DB
    - `maxminddb_country`: Specify database for country lookups using
      MaxMind DB
    - `dns_port`: Control the DNS port
    - `response_time_mode`: Set the output mode of the response time indexer
    - `response_time_bucket_size`: The size of bucket (microseconds)
    - Following options exists to control internal aspects of `response_time`
      indexer, see man-page for more information:
      - `response_time_max_queries`
      - `response_time_full_mode`
      - `response_time_max_seconds`
      - `response_time_max_sec_mode`

    Fixes:
    - Add LGTM and fix alerts
    - Update `pcap_layers` with fixes for `scan-build` warnings

    Resolved memory leaks within the IP fragment reassembly code that was
    reported by Klaus Darilion (NIC.AT) and added config option to control
    some parts of the fragment handling.

    Fixes:

      `MAX_FRAG_IDLE` (60 seconds)
    - Use correct alloc/free functions for dataset hash
    - Fix spacing in dsc.conf(5) man-page

    Release 2.4.0

    Since there have been a few major issues with the threaded capturing code
    it is now default disabled and have to be enabled with a configure option
    to use: `./configure --enable-threads ...`

    A lot of work has been done to ensure stability and correct capturing,
    as of now `dsc` is continuously running on the testing platforms with
    simulated traffic and tests are performance every 5-15 minutes:

      https://dev.dns-oarc.net/jenkins/view/dsctest/

    With the rewrite of the config parser to C it was missed that Hapy allowed
    CR/LF within the values of the options.  Changing the C parser to allow
    it is a bit of work and having CR/LF within the value may lead to other
    issues so it is now documented that CR/LF are not allowed in config option
    values.

    Fixes:
    - The `-T` flag was just controlling pcap-thread usage of threads, it now
      controls all usage of threads including how signals are caught.
    - Fix program name, was incorrectly set so it would be reported as `/dsc`.
    - Use thread safe functions (_r).
    - Handle very long config lines by not having a static buffer, instead
      let `getline()` allocate as needed.
    - Use new activation in pcap-thread to activate the capturing of pcaps
      after the initial interval sync have been done during start-up.
    - Use factions of second for start-up interval sync and interval wait.
    - Fix memory leaks if config options was specified more then once.
    - Use new absolute timed run in pcap-thread to more exactly end capturing
      at the interval.
    - Fix config parsing, was checking for tab when should look for line feed.
    - Exit correctly during pcap-thread run to honor `dump_reports_on_exit`.
    - Use 100ms as default pcap-thread timeout, was 1s before but the old code
      used 250ms.
    - Various enhancements to logging of errors.

    New config options/features:
    - `pcap_buffer_size` can be used to increase the capture buffer within
      pcap-thread/libpcap, this can help mitigate dropped packets by the
      kernel during interval breaks.
    - `no_wait_interval` will skip the interval sync that happens during
      start-up and start capturing directly, the end of the interval will
      still be the modulus of the interval.
    - `pcap_thread_timeout` can be used to change the internal timeout use
      in pcap-thread to wait for packets (default 100ms).
    - Log non-fatal errors from pcap-thread w.r.t. setting the filter which
      can indicate that the filter is running in userland because lack of
      support or that it is too large for the kernel.

    Release 2.3.0

    Rare lockup has been fixed that could happen if a signal was received
    in the wrong thread at the wrong time due to `pcap_thread_stop()`
    canceling and waiting on threads to join again. The handling of signals
    have been improved for threaded and non-threaded operations.

    A couple of bugfixes, one to fix loading of GeoIP ASN database and
    another to use the lowest 32 bits of an IP address (being v4 or v6)
    in the IP hash making it a bit more efficient for v6 addresses.

    New functionality for the configure option `local_address`, you can now
    specify a network mask (see `man 5 dsc.conf` for syntax).

    Release 2.2.1

    Two bugfixes with one being critical (caused segfault, sorry for that)
    - `pcap-thread` had an issue that threads where not closed on exit
      of `pcap_thread_run()`, this only created many threads in my testing
      environment but reports came in that it segfaulted.
    - When started `dsc` (not in debug mode) it will wait to align with
      the time, that did not get update with the configurable interval
      change.

    Commits:

    6e3654b Fix #90: Update pcap-thread to v1.1.2 to fix a segfault issue
    c9350a3 Fix #92: Honor configured interval when aligning

2016-10-10 Jerry Lundström

    Release 2.2.0

    Some big changes in this release are the removal of the C++ configure
    parser library Hapy and the addition of pcap-thread to (hopefully)
    handle capturing packet in a correct and efficiant way.

    With that addition of pcap-thread comes new runtime options:
    - `-m` sets monitor mode on interfaces
    - `-i` sets immediate mode on interfaces
    - `-T` disable the usage of threads in pcap thread

    Bugfixes:
    - d95190a fixes a small memory leak in `Pcap_init()` and a possible
      bug where `-p` might never been used because of not being declared
      external.
    - 55e1056 added check for `netinet/ip_compat.h` for use in
      `src/pcap_layers/pcap_layers.c`.

    Release 2.1.1

    Bugfixes:
    - 22688c1 Fix pcap/select last_ts
      In some cases `select` will return the fd set as if there are packets
      to read but there aren't. That would case the last timestamp to not
      advance and the `Pcap_run` loop to never finish.
      This fix add a check on packets captured and sets last timestamp if
      none where caught.

2016-06-09 Jerry Lundström

    Release 2.1.0

    This release brings a couple of new features, the ability to change
    the interval for which DSC writes out the statistics files and a new
    indexer for AS numbers.
    There was also an issue detected in Ubuntu 16.04 when reading pcap files
    would result in doubling the statistics if running in daemon mode.
    Looking at the strace it might be a issue with the kernel, libc, pcap or
    a combination that results in the open file handle to reset and essentially
    read all the data twice.

    Credits:
    - Klaus Darilion NIC.AT for interval changes and AS number indexer.

    Patch from John Heidemann relating to TCP reassembly
    - fix for multiple DNS messages per TCP connection that span
      multiple segments
    - some editorial code changes (== to >=)
    - additional debugging statements

2016-01-11 Duane Wessels

    Minor fix: debugging statement wasn't protected with debug_flag
    check. (thanks John H).

2015-12-23 Duane Wessels

    add prototype for dns_message_handle()

2015-12-23 Duane Wessels

    Experimental feature to drop "received responses" and "sent queries"
    since DSC is generally used to monitor authoritative servers that,
    under normal operation, never receive responses nor send queries.
    Currently protected with #ifdefs.

2015-12-15 Duane Wessels

    Oops, forgot to set dns_message->server_ip_addr for new server_addr
    indexer

2015-11-23 Duane Wessels

    removing one level of the "dsc/dsc" top directory

2015-11-11 aqadeer

    In pcap.c pcap_setnonblock doesn't accept captured files anymore and
    must need a device from where it could do live capture.  For offline
    files to work, a simple check is added to by-pass this porblem.

2015-11-05 Duane Wessels

    Added a 'server' indexer.  This records the server (query destination)
    IP address.

2015-11-05 Duane Wessels

    Renamed "client_ipv4" to "client_ip" because it supports v4 and v6

2015-11-04 Duane Wessels

    Update copy of pcap_layers.c from https://github.com/wessels/pcap_layers

2015-11-04 Duane Wessels

    avoid "void *" pointer arithmetic (Yoshitaka Aharen)

2015-10-09 Duane Wessels

    bugfix: handle receiving TCP dns length prefix out of order.

    A user reported that when a TCP segment containing only the DNS message
    length is received *after* the message it references (i.e., out-of-order),
    then DSC goes into a 100% CPU loop.  Confirmed that the code doesn't work
    correctly when dnslen comes out-of-order, but I wasn't able to easily
    reproduce the 100% CPU bug.

    The fix is to add a "dnslen_bytes_seen_mask" variable that tracks which
    of the two dnslen bytes we've seen.  Once both bytes have been seen,
    then we can proceed to reassembling the message buffer.

2015-10-09 Duane Wessels

    cosmetic: rename ipv4 to ip4 to be consistent with ip6

2015-10-09 Duane Wessels

    Regarding recent change to add pcap_layers library, forgot to add it
    to Makefile.in (vs Makefile) before committing.

2015-10-09 Duane Wessels

    Integrated https://github.com/wessels/pcap_layers with DSC collector.
    The DSC code now includes a copy of the pcap_layers library, which does
    a better job of extracting the layers of a pcap packet.  In particular,
    it does IP fragmentation reassembly, which is important for DSC and
    RSSAC-002. At this time the DSC code still does TCP reassembly, however.

    Removed USE_IPV6 ifdefs.  IPV6 support is now always compiled.

2015-10-08 Duane Wessels

    Removing "DMC *dns_message_callback" because there is only one that
    would ever be used. The callback layer of indirection makes the code
    a little confusing, and also this change is in preparation for bringing
    in a third-party pcap layer handling library which will work slightly
    differently.

2015-10-08 Duane Wessels

    The "ip_message" code has not been in use since a commit back in 2012.
    But the code lingered, until now.

2015-02-25 Duane Wessels

    User reported a concern with the way dsc-xml-extractor.pl called
    the operating system 'mv' command.  It has been replaced with Perl's
    File::Copy::mv().

2013-03-19 Duane Wessels

    Fixed a bug in TCP reassembly when the DNS length field was
    split between two segments.

2012-08-27 Sebastian Castro

    Added 'tc_bit' indexer and dataset to track the frequency
    of responses having the TC bit set.  Useful with DNSSEC
    signed zones.

2012-02-29 Duane Wessels

    Added 'qr_aa_bits' dataset and graph.  It shows the distribution
    of QR/AA values in received messages and may be helpful in
    detecting reflector attacks targeting your name server.

2010-11-29 Duane Wessels

    The dnssec_qtype and dns_ip_version plots were not working due
    the presence of 'dataset' attributes in their definitions.  Also
    fixed the chaos plot.

2010-11-04 Duane Wessels

    Added NSEC3 record type to the extractor.

2010-09-14 Duane Wessels

    A fix to put pcap interfaces into non-blocking mode, which is
    important when reading from multiple interfaces.

2010-08-13 Alexander Mayrhofer

    Added "country_index" to the collector which is an index based
    on country as returned by the GeoIP library.  configure attempts
    to learn if you have GeoIP installed.

2010-08-13 Peter Koch

    Some minor fixes to the collector that allow it to read from
    pcap files on disk, rather than live packets from an interface.

2010-06-02 Henrik Kramsh?j

    Improvements for OpenBSD compatibility

2010-05-01 Duane Wessels

    Added NSEC3 to DNSSEC query types

2010-02-22 Duane Wessels

     Collector bug fixed: USE_IPV6=1 was not passed to .c
     files, which resulted in different-sized data structurs
     and crashes on CentOS.

2009-12-10 Duane Wessels

    Added "priming_queries" and "priming_responses" datasets in
    preparation for root zone signing.

2009-11-11 Duane Wessels

    On the presenter some of the "accum" graphs stopped working
    due to recent rewrites.  These should now be working again.

2009-10-12 Duane Wessels

    The presenter debugging is now configurable via dsc-grapher.cfg.

2009-08-14 Duane Wessels

    In the presenter, there have been some significant changes to
    the perl modules so that they can be used in command line
    (ie non-CGI) utilities, both for creating graphs and for
    reading data.  Most of these changes are purely internal.
    However, you may need to update your dsc-grapher.pl CGI
    program to be like presenter/grapher/dsc-grapher.pl.sample
    in the source distribution.

2009-04-15 Duane Wessels

    In the presenter's refile-and-grok.sh script, note that in
    some environtments it is useful to skip NODEs that don't
    have an incoming directory because they might have been
    "grokked" elsewhere and then rsync'd to you.

2009-02-27 Duane Wessels

    In the collector it is now necessary to include <stdlib.h>
    and <stdio.h>.   Not sure why it wasn't necessary before.
    Perhaps due to 2009-01-26 Hapy library upgrade.

2009-02-19 Duane Wessels

    In the collector, fixed some 64-bit free disk space calculations
    with casting.

2009-01-26 Duane Wessels

    Upgraded to more recent version of Hapy parsing library.

2008-12-31 Duane Wessels

    In the collector, changed the value of pcap_open_live() because
    we always try to read from all interfaces after select() returns.
    If we have multiple interfaces and one of them is quiet, and
    the timeout is too large, we'll drop packets on the other
    interface while waiting for the first to time out.

    Also added a pseudo-dataset that reports on pcap packets captured
    and dropped.


2008-12-02 Duane Wessels

    Grapher now preserves the order of the server list given in
    dsc-grapher.cfg.

2008-11-22 Duane Wessels

    Added some collector indexers and datasets for 2nd and 3rd level
    domains.

2008-10-02 Duane Wessels

    Made the 'no extractor for $dataset' error message non-fatal.
    Now, the unknown dataset will just be skipped and the remaining
    ones will be processed.

2008-09-30 Duane Wessels

    In the presenter, account for the possibility that the collector's
    clock is not in sync.

2008-09-18 Elmar Knipp

    Found bug in upload script where a $PROG.out prevents removal
    of a $YYYYMMDD directory.

2008-09-16 Duane Wessels

    New presenter feature: Node Merging.  Now the DSC grapher can
    automatically "merge" multiple nodes so that they appear as
    one.  For example instead of this dsc-grapher.cfg line:

        server S N1a N1b

    you can merge nodes "a" and "b" with this line:

	server S N1=N1a,N1b

    This feature is also useful for just renaming a node if you
    want it to be displayed as a different name than the directory
    where its files are.

2008-09-15 Duane Wessels

    On the collector, changed the sample config and upload scripts
    to use /usr/local/dsc/run as the default run_dir (was formerly
    /usr/local/dsc/var/run/).

2008-08-21 Duane Wessels

    Added an EDNS bufsiz indexer so we can collect buffer sizes
    advertised by clients.

2008-08-12 Duane Wessels

    Attempt to improve portability (on Solaris) by checking for
    libresolv, libnsl, and libsocket.  Also check for statvfs() vs
    statvs() in configure.

2008-07-29 Duane Wessels

    Updates to collector/cron/upload-rsync.sh so that it behaves
    better with new date-based directories on both collector and
    presenter.

2008-06-27 Duane Wessels

    Added a source port range dataset (for about-to-be-announced
    vulnerability that can be mititgated by improving source port
    randomness).

2008-04-22 Duane Wessels

    Added ./configure script for presenter/dsc code.

2008-04-22 Duane Wessels

    Added support for capturing NCAP data streams.

2008-01-09 Duane Wessels

    Changed the location of the presenter's ".dat" files.  Previously
    there were stored in a directory such as 20080109/qtype/qtype.dat
    and now they will be moved one directory up and stored as

    The source distribution includes a script found at
    presenter/grapher/update-dat-file-locations.sh that will traverse
    the /usr/local/dsc/data directory and move all the .dat files
    one level up.

    When upgrading to this version of DSC you should first stop the
    refile-and-grok.sh cron job, install the DSC software, and then
    run the update-dat-file-locations.sh script (after reading it).

    Data passed from collector to presenter is now contained in a
    single XML file, rather than one XML file per dataset.  This
    should significantly reduce filesystem pressure (i.e., 20x fewer
    files to be stored and sent) on both sides.

2008-01-07 Duane Wessels

    The collector now stores to-be-uploaded XML files in
    date-named subdirectories.  This reduces filesystem pressure
    in the event that the collector cannot communicate with the
    presenter for an extended period of time.

    To accomodate this change, the upload-prep.sh script has been
    replaced with a Perl version, named upload-prep.pl.  After
    installing DSC you should change your cron job to use the new
    script.

    Previously, a child was forked for each collection interval.
    Memory allocated for collected data was freed by simply exiting
    the child.  But this left no way to preserve any data across
    intervals.

    Now, interval collectors do not fork.  To avoid the tedious,
    slow, and error-prone nature of normal malloc-and-free memory
    management, we instead store non-persistent data in memory
    allocated from an "arena", which can be freed quickly and safely.
    We don't need to free individual allocations, but we do need
    to reset some pointers to allocated memory.

    TCP resets are now properly handled and TCP state is freed
    if a connection has been idle for too long.

    The collector configuration (dsc.conf) has a new 'minfree_bytes'
    directive.  If the amount of free disk space on dsc's partition
    falls below this limit, dsc will not write any XML files -- that
    data will be lost.

    The default value is 5 MB.

    Added a 'dns_ip_version' indexer so that we can track DNS messages
    sent over v4 and v6.

    Fixed a collector bug when listening on multiple interfaces of
    different datalink types (e.g., eth0 and lo).

    Added a 'hide_nodes' feature to dsc-grapher.cfg.  If 'hide_nodes'
    is given, then the navigation menu will not display the nodes
    underneath a server.  Note, however, that knowledgeable users
    could still view individual node data by manually if they know
    the names by specifying it in the URL query terms.

    Changed the presenter to not use "data URIs" by default.  Now
    Internet Explorer users should be happier.

    Added -f command line option to keep 'dsc' collector as a foreground
    process.

    dsc-xml-extractor.pl now looks for incoming XML files in
    "incoming/YYYY-MM-DD" directories.

    New TCP code did not compile cleanly on Linux.  Added some
    #ifdefs and macros for Linux compatibility on TCP headers.

    TCP support
    New 'transport' indexer for DNS messages.  Indicates whether message
    arrived over UDP or TCP.

2007-04-04 Duane Wessels

    IPv6 support
    New 'ip_version' indexer.  Indicates whether DNS message arrived
    via IPv4 or IPv6.
