New features include Autonomous System number lookups, timestamp options, new environmental variables to control behavior, and a new curses interface. As of 1.1.0beta3 uses libcap to limit superuser privileges where libcap is available. Fixes a minor memory leak problem.

TraceProto is a traceroute replacement that allows tracing using user specified protocols and ports. Version 1.0.0 is the first full release after the beta tests.

New features added or improved during the testing include random starting source ports, reverse tracing, several new output styles including an easily scriptable style, improved documentation, and an improved install. A wrapper script written in perl which allows for monitoring of path changes is also available. A server daemon version of TraceProto has been started as well and will be added to the CVS soon.

HopWatcher is a perl wrapper for TraceProto that saves state on the path to a remote location. Meant to be easily scriptable, all of the options are kept in a config file and the state is save in a data file. When run, HopWatcher calls TraceProto with the options listed in the config and saves the output. It then compares the output to the data file and lists any differences. Depending on how it is set up, HopWatcher will then either exit with a return status indicating whether there were any inconsistancies, or will rewrite the data file with the latest list of hops.

TraceProto is a traceroute replacement that allows tracing using user specified protocols and ports. Version 0.9.2beta0 will probably be the last 0.9.x release. There are a few tweaks left and the 1.0 release will be ready.

The 0.9.2beta0 impliments a random offset for the starting source port if the doesn't specify a source port. The scriptable output style is improved slightly and a new flag added to allow the user to trace to the destination repeatedly for a specific number of iterations. as always, bug reports and patches are quite welcome.

TraceProto is a traceroute replacement that allows tracing using user specified protocols and ports. Version 0.9.1beta0 is the next step towards full release status.

Several new features have been added including a new output style for easy scripting. Both the install and the documentation have been improved and a privilege drop has been added for improved security.

We still need beta testers and bug reports. Also, reports of successful compiles any platforms available would be useful.
