Fixed Bugs: * lp:889820 - ftbfs in 'recv_msgs': 'link.ifla_name' may be used uninitialized * lp:889822 - rtnetlink configure check not portable across linux flavours Known Issues: * no Qt python wrappers yet - lp:505672 2011-11-12 Alexander Sack ntrack version 015 released! Homepage: https://launchpad.net/ntrack Release: https://launchpad.net/ntrack/main/015 Download: http://launchpad.net/ntrack/main/015/+download/ntrack-015.tar.gz TODO: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ntrack ntrack 015 is a long expected release that started low, but ended up coming out strong. This is not only because a first experimental revision of our next gen backend for linux, rtnetlink, got included. Early testing indicates that rtnetlink really has the potential to leave out the flaky libnl middleware alltogether and get network state info first hand from the kernel. Once stabilized and properly field tested, This will clearly contribute to a more complete, consistent and reliable ntrack experience. Nevertheless, ntrack 015 also grows more complete libnl support and can now build backends for libnl 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 (NEW), 3.2.x (NEW) and latest git (NEW). See below for info what bugs were fixed on top for this release. Fixed Bugs: * lp:750554 - nl modules are not linked with libntrack even if they use symbols from it * lp:755608 - Ntrack dead loop in function get_nl_link_by_index * lp:834639 - Build failure with -Werror=strict-aliasing * lp:774690 - Build error in a fresh environment * lp:785119 - ntrack can get into endless poll loop if no backend modules found * lp:801407 - ntrack-014 compilation fails if all libnl[123] are present together * lp:448400 - add pure rtnetlink backend for linux * lp:879141 - support libnl 3.1 Known Issues: * no Qt python wrappers yet - lp:505672 2011-04-03 Alexander Sack ntrack version 014 released! Homepage: https://launchpad.net/ntrack Release: https://launchpad.net/ntrack/main/014 Download: http://launchpad.net/ntrack/main/014/+download/ntrack-014.tar.gz TODO: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ntrack ntrack 014 comes with support for libnl-3.0, human readable runtime information about version, author, copyright and backend; the build system grew support for pld-linux.org, a few other refinements. For details see the ChangeLog that comes with the release and the bugs listed below. Fixed Bugs: * lp:743881 - h2def configure test should consider installs that have .pyc without .py * lp:748988 - ntrack should handle "no backend" status gracefully * lp:743879 - ntrack 013 doesn't build with libnl 3.0 * lp:749608 - ntrack API should provide runtime info: version, author, copyright, backend Known Issues: * no Qt python wrappers yet - lp:505672 2011-03-27 Alexander Sack ntrack version 013 released!

Information on changes in 012 can be found here: * https://launchpad.net/ntrack/main/012 Fixed Bugs: * lp:743636 - ntrack 012 fails to build on 64 bit archs Known Issues: * no Qt python wrappers yet - lp:505672 2011-03-27 Alexander Sack ntrack version 012 released! Homepage: https://launchpad.net/ntrack Release: https://launchpad.net/ntrack/main/012 Download: http://launchpad.net/ntrack/main/012/+download/ntrack-012.tar.gz TODO: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ntrack This release is a bug fix release with three focus areas: * libnl2 module - here, code was ported to final 2.0 API * lifecycle management - fixes memory leaks for monitor and listener_packs * general stabilization - memory leak rework required some stabilization work * developer convenience - improve macros and API for writing ntrack backend modules Note: this release breaks build for debian squeeze and ubuntu maverick/natty libnl2-dev package; that's because debian/ubuntu packaged a non-final 1.99+git snapshot and didn't take precautions wrt SONAME and .pc file version to allow to support this version; libnl2 changed API for 2.0 final release and so ntrack had to unsupport those versions; anyway, they still have libnl1 as default installed so this isn't a big problem; if you need support for those preview libnl2 packages for some reason anyway, just revert bzr rev269 from lp:ntrack. Fixed Bugs: * lp:694823 - fails to ./configure with gobject if pygobject depends are not installed * lp:736058 - ntrack 011 does not compile with libnl2 final * lp:694477 - new plugin API: introduce modules function table and macros to implement modules Known Issues: * no Qt python wrappers yet - lp:505672 2010-12-23 Alexander Sack ntrack version 011 released! Homepage: https://launchpad.net/ntrack Release: https://launchpad.net/ntrack/main/011 Download: http://launchpad.net/ntrack/main/011/+download/ntrack-011.tar.gz TODO: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ntrack This release focusses on making ntrack build with old toolchain and autotools from hardy. Various changes were needed to get it build there. Side product of this is that we wrapped a new option -enable-developer-build into this build. Using this option will tell configure that this is a developer build and that the module loader should consider typical source tree directories when looking for loadable backend modules. Please ensure you don't keep this option around for production builds. Fixed Bugs: * lp:693215 - Makefile.am files are not automake 1.7 friendly in ntrack 010 * lp:693214 - various hardy build problems caused by code + triggering warnings for gcc 4.2 * lp:693500 - autogen.sh and make distcheck broken for hardy Known Issues: * no Qt python wrappers yet - lp:505672 2010-12-21 Alexander Sack ntrack version 010 released! Homepage: https://launchpad.net/ntrack Release: https://launchpad.net/ntrack/main/010 Download: http://launchpad.net/ntrack/main/010/+download/ntrack-010.tar.gz TODO: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ntrack This release adds support for libnl-2.0 and introduces a runtime loadable modules API for implementing ntrack backends. This lead to a few code cleanups and refactoring. API is not considered stable enough to export as a public API. But build/code wise this is already prepared; once the API can be frozen backends can be contributed from outside of ntrack. Fixed Bugs: * lp:661769 - building in a build/ directory fails to find pyntrack-gmonitor.override * lp:686554 - change from deprecated libnl-1 to libnl-2 * lp:692703 - mtest-gmonitor.py segfauls in latest lp:ntrack revno. 235 * lp:692245 - add support for pluggable backends Known Issues: * no Qt python wrappers yet - lp:505672 2010-10-10 Alexander Sack ntrack version 009 released!
