v4.0

For a deeper look into all major changes in this version, please check this blog post.

New features/additions:

• Add parent PDU to each PDU.

• Removed parent PDU parameter on PDU::write_serialization.

• Split utils.h into multiple files under the utils directory.

• Split internals.h into multiple files under the detail directory.

• Improve compilation times by removing useless include directives.

• Refactor PDUOption conversions so that heavy headers are not included in source file.

• Use std::vector instead of std::list in TCP, IP, IPv6, DHCP, DHCPv6, DNS, LLC, Dot11 and PPPoE.

• Improve performance on IP, IPv6 and TCP by compiting option sizes during serialization.

• Minor performance improvements in DNS.

• Refactor RadioTap parsing and serialization using a generic parser/writer.

• Add BaseSniffer::set_pcap_sniffing_method to specify whether pcap_loop or pcap_dispatch should be used when sniffing.

• Added cipher and akm suites from 802.11-2016.

• Add IPv6 layer parsing on Loopback packets.

• Implemented matching for ND protocol related ICMPv6 messages.

• Add header files into CMake sources so IDE can pick them up.

• Add MPLS "experimental" field.

Fixes

• Fix IPv6 next header handling. Now each one contains its own type and the next type is only set during serialization for ease of use.
