Hi, After a year of slow tweaking and bugfixing, I''m happy to announce the release of softflowd 0.9.8. The release is available from: http://www.mindrot.org/projects/softflowd/ New features ------------ - Added "send-template" softflowctl command to resend a NetFlow 9 template record immediately (handy if you restart your flow collector) - Softflowd will now encode ICMP type and code into the flow datagram''s source/destination ports, similar to some Cisco exporters. Work mostly by ssnodgra AT pheran.com - Added an option to ignore port and/or protocol information when tracking flows, allowing flows from the same IP addresses to be automatically coalesced, saving CPU load and export volume at the expense of flow detail - Support Linux "cooked socket" datalink type, from Tony Lewis gnutered AT yahoo.com.au - Report pcap stats in "softflowctl statistics" display - There is now a RPM spec file, courtesy ssnodgra AT pheran.com Bugfixes -------- - Expire quiescent flows in a timely manner when they hit maximum_lifetime; bug noticed and patch tested by andreas.brillisauer AT hetzner.de - Fix DLT_RAW support, from jhanna AT shaw.ca - Fix installation when target directoris do not exist; spotted by alshu AT tut.by - Additional paranoia and verbosity on malloc failures - Type fixes from rbreathe AT brookes.ac.uk - Fix time printing bug in debug mode - Fix reversed NetFlow v.9 first_switched and last_switched times - Fixed sequence number generation bugs. Reported by b.ghita AT jack.see.plymouth.ac.uk and mwlucas AT blackhelicopters.org Thanks to everyone who reported bugs, contributed or tested patches and answered questions on the mailing list. Apologies to anyone that I have missed. Thanks, Damien Miller
