Bugs found in 1.2.rc4 (update 2/28)

Printer-friendly

Here is what has been found in rc4.

  • JConfig and JLogger reload the JRE logger configuration upon startup resetting user setup. The logger configs need to be merged with existing logger runtime configuration.
  • Update 1/23: Bug #2688877 - reported that debian package is missing .so soft link to .so.rc4 main lib file. Will add that link in post-install to debian package control file.
  • Update 2/28: Bug #2648427 - PcapDumper.dump() core-dumps. A patch is available upon request. Official fix will be released in the upcoming 1.2.rc5.
  • Update 2/28: Bug #2557009 - LLC header problem (fixed in rc5)

Also not really a bug, but lack of needed feature:

  • Added Pcap.loop() and Pcap.dispatch() variation to allow the user to supply JScanner. This allows JScanner internal buffer size to be changed by the user.
  • Added JPacket.setMemoryPool(). This allows the user to change the default allocation block size of JMemoryPool for packets that are copied via the constructor and transferTo() methods.
  • Update 2/28: Issue #254294 - WinPcap can't access serial NICs on Win platform in sub-threads (not on the main thread). This is a known WinPcap issue, not a jNetPcap issue and can not be fixed in jNetPcap.

I'll report anything else that may be reported to me.
