KLH10 CHANGES
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
KLH10 2.0I: up to early 2016, by Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert
|
||||
- Configure script added to replace complicated ifdefs.
|
||||
This should be more reliable on previously unknown systems,
|
||||
such as MacOS X.
|
||||
- Networking code mostly replaced with libpcap as an interface
|
||||
to the system packet filter, and Net/Free/OpenBSD/Linux tunnel
|
||||
devices, and virtual VDE devices.
|
||||
|
||||
KLH10 2.0G: 21-May-2002
|
||||
- Fixed Large File Support for disks.
|
||||
- New XBLT algorithm to fix obscure bug.
