E.g., `n_acd_freev()` + + * A fallback to `CLOCK_MONOTONIC` is now provided in case + `CLOCK_BOOTTIME` is not supported by the kernel. Note that this is in + no way signalled through the API, so if timers should follow the + `BOOTTIME` rather than monotonic clock, a kernel with this clock is + required. + + * The `c-sundry` dependency is no longer needed. + + * The `transport` configuration property is now mandatory for + `n_acd_new()`. It defaulted to `ETHERNET` before, by mistake. + + * In-source documentation for the public API is now provided. + + Contributions from: Beniamino Galvani, David Herrmann, David + Rheinsberg, Thomas Haller, Tom Gundersen + + - Tübingen, 2019-03-20 + +## CHANGES WITH 1: + + * Initial release of n-acd. This project implements the IPv4 Address + Conflict Detection standard as defined in RFC-5227. The state machine + is implemented in a shared library and provides a stable ISO-C11 API. + The implementation is linux-only and relies heavily on the API + behavior of recent linux kernel releases. + + * Compared to the pre-releases, this release supports many parallel + probes on a single n-acd context. This reduces the number of + allocated network resources to O(1), based on the number of running + parallel probes. + + * The n-acd project is now dual-licensed: ASL-2.0 and LGPL-2.1+ + + Contributions from: Beniamino Galvani, David Herrmann, Thomas Haller, + Tom Gundersen + + - Tübingen, 2018-08-08 |
