Hi, I have just released fping 4.0-rc1
Please help me test it: http://fping.org/dist/beta/ Also, I am interested in hearing your thoughts. Do you see any problems with these changes? Here are the release notes: * Version 4.0-rc1 * INCOMPATIBILITY WARNING 1: fping and fping6 are now unified into one binary. It means that, for example, doing 'fping google.com' is going to ping the IPv6 IP of google.com on IPv6-enabled hosts. If you need exact compatibility with old versions, you can configure and install fping twice: once for ipv4, and once for ipv6: - ./configure --disable-ipv6; make clean install - ./configure --disable-ipv4 --program-suffix=6; make clean install * INCOMPATIBILITY WARNING 2: Option -n / --name is now doing a reverse-DNS lookups on host addresses, only they are given as IP address, but not for hostnames. For example, if you write 'fping -n google.com', fping would previously do a forward-DNS lookup on google.com, and then a reverse-DNS lookup on the resolved IP address. Now, it is just going to keep the name 'google.com'. That same behavior can be achieved with the option -d / --rdns (which was previously an alias for -n). fping<4.0 fping>=4.0 fping -n NAME NAME->IP->IPNAME NAME fping -d NAME NAME->IP->IPNAME NAME->IP->IPNAME * (feature) Unified 'fping' and 'fping6' into one binary (#80) * (feature) Long option names for all options * (feature) --enable-ipv6 is now default * (feature) New option -4 to force IPv4 * (feature) New option -6 to force IPv6 * (feature) Keep original name if a hostname is given with -n/--name * (feature) Option -d/--rdns now always does a rdns-lookup, even for names (name->IP->name), as '-n' was doing until now * (bugfix) Fix compatibility issue with GNU Hurd * (other) A C99 compiler is now required * (other) Option parsing with optparse (https://github.com/skeeto/optparse) Thanks Christopher Wellons!
