<summary>Recommended update for fstrm</summary>
<description>This update for fstrm fixes the following issues:
- Update to 0.6.1:
- fstrm_capture: ignore SIGPIPE, which will cause the
interrupted connections to generate an EPIPE instead.
- Fix truncation in snprintf calls in argument processing.
- fstrm_capture: Fix output printf format.
- Update to 0.6.0
It adds a new feature for fstrm_capture. It can perform output
file rotation when a SIGUSR1 signal is received by fstrm_capture.
(See the --gmtime or --localtime options.) This allows
fstrm_capture's output file to be rotated by logrotate or a
similar external utility. (Output rotation is suppressed if
fstrm_capture is writing to stdout.)
Update to 0.5.0
- Change license to modern MIT license for compatibility with
GPLv2 software. Contact software@farsightsecurity.com for
alternate licensing.
- src/fstrm_replay.c: For OpenBSD and Posix portability include
netinet/in.h and sys/socket.h to get struct sockaddr_in and the
AF_* defines respectively.
- Fix various compiler warnings.
Update to 0.4.0
The C implementation of the Frame Streams data transport
protocol, fstrm version 0.4.0, was released. It adds TCP support,
a new tool, new documentation, and several improvements.
- Added manual pages for fstrm_capture and fstrm_dump.
- Added new tool, fstrm_replay, for replaying saved Frame Streams
data to a socket connection.
- Adds TCP support. Add tcp_writer to the core library which
implements a bi-directional Frame Streams writer as a TCP
socket client. Introduces new developer API:
fstrm_tcp_writer_init, fstrm_tcp_writer_options_init,
fstrm_tcp_writer_options_destroy,
fstrm_tcp_writer_options_set_socket_address, and
fstrm_tcp_writer_options_set_socket_port.
- fstrm_capture: new options for reading from TCP socket.
- fstrm_capture: add "-c" / "--connections" option to limit the
number of concurrent connections it will accept.
- fstrm_capture: add "-b / --buffer-size" option to set the read
buffer size (effectively the maximum frame size) to a value
other than the default 256 KiB.
- fstrm_capture: skip oversize messages to fix stalled
connections caused by messages larger than the read highwater
mark of the input buffer. Discarded messages are logged for the
purposes of tuning the input buffer size.
- fstrm_capture: complete sending of FINISH frame before closing
connection.
- Various test additions and improvements.
