Inutile dire quanto siano utili i bug reports
di una candidate release ;)

Hello,

at http://www.hping.org you can find the latest hping2
release, that is the release candidate for the 2.0.0 stable.
Before to concentrate the next efforts to hping3 we
tried to fix and enhanced hping2 to provide a more usable/portable
tool. We hope the goal was reached but your help will be
invaluable: please report bugs to <antirez@invece.org> if you will
experience compilation problems or other bugs in this
pre-release.

Many thanks to all the people that helped providing code, patches,
ideas, and other help. A special thanks to the HSC folk for the
great help and friendship.

See http://www.hping.org/authors.html for credits.

News:

* Ported to Solaris. 
* Improved BSD support (better interface handling, fix for 32bit pids, more) 
* A new output format, simplest to parse. 
* The data is now taken aligned, so you should not experiment problems
  on not i386 based archs, like sparc.
* Improved traceroute support (rtt information and more) 
* Improved interface managment, now the right interface
  is auto selected if not forced with the -I option. 
* ICMP timestamp and address types implemented. 
* TCP timestamp support, HZ and remote uptime guessing. 
* Some option now implies some other, to make hping more comfortable,
  also some short alias for boring to type but often used options. 
* Fixed some minor compilation problem.
* Fixed sequence numbers handling, now hping should run for days
  without problems. 
* --seqnum endianess fixed. 
* A number of minor bugs fixed and documentation updated. 
* French translation of all the hping documentation. 

People that used hping2-beta54 (the old release) may
read the "NEWS" file inside the 2.0.0-rc1 tarball to get a fast
sync with the new features/changes and how to use them.

have fun,
antirez
