   3 Version 1.0: August 11, 1996 (cjm)
   4
   5 Version 1.1:  August 20, 1996  (cjm)
   6     - Host accepts incoming connections for ports 0 to 1023.
   7
   8 Version 1.2:  September 7, 1996 (cjm)
   9     - Fragment handling error in alias_db.c corrected.
  10
  11 Version 1.3:  September 15, 1996 (cjm)
  12     - Generalized mechanism for handling incoming
  13       connections (no more 0 to 1023 restriction).
  14
  15     - Increased ICMP support (will handle traceroute now).
  16
  17     - Improved TCP close connection logic.
  18
  19 Version 1.4: September 16, 1996 (cjm)
  20
  21 Version 1.5: September 17, 1996 (cjm)
  22     - Corrected error in handling incoming UDP packets
  23       with zero checksum.
  24
  25 Version 1.6: September 18, 1996
  26     - Simplified ICMP data storage.  Will now handle
  27       tracert from Win95 and NT as well as FreeBSD
  28       traceroute, which uses UDP packets to non-existent
  29       ports.
  30
  31 Version 1.7: January 9, 1997 (cjm)
  32     - Reduced malloc() activity for ICMP echo and
  33       timestamp requests.
  34
  35     - Added handling for out-of-order IP fragments.
  36
  37     - Switched to differential checksum computation
  38       for IP headers (TCP, UDP and ICMP checksums
  39       were already differential).
  40
  41     - Accepts FTP data connections from other than
  42       port 20.  This allows one ftp connections
  43       from two hosts which are both running packet
  44       aliasing.
  45
  46     - Checksum error on FTP transfers.  Problem
  47       in code located by Martin Renters and
  48       Brian Somers.
  49
  50 Version 1.8: January 14, 1997 (cjm)
  51     - Fixed data type error in function StartPoint()
  52       in alias_db.c (this bug did not exist before v1.7)
  53       Problem in code located by Ari Suutari.
  54
  55 Version 1.9: February 1, 1997 (Eivind Eklund <perhaps@yes.no>)
  56     - Added support for IRC DCC (ee)
  57
  58     - Changed the aliasing routines to use ANSI style
  59       throughout (ee)
  60
  61     - Minor API changes for integration with other
  62       programs than PPP (ee)
  63
  64     - Fixed minor security hole in alias_ftp.c for
  65       other applications of the aliasing software.
  66       Hole could _not_ manifest in ppp+pktAlias, but
  67       could potentially manifest in other applications
  68       of the aliasing. (ee)
  69
  70     - Connections initiated from packet aliasing
  71       host machine will not have their port number
  72       aliased unless it conflicts with an aliasing
  73       port already being used. (There is an option
  74       to disable this for debugging) (cjm)
  75
  76     - Sockets will be allocated in cases where
  77       there might be port interference with the
  78       host machine.  This can be disabled in cases
  79       where the ppp host will be acting purely as a
  80       masquerading router and not generate any
  81       traffic of its own.
  82       (cjm)
  83
  84 Version 2.0: March, 1997 (cjm)
  85     - Aliasing links are cleared only when a host interface address
  86       changes.
  87
  88     - PacketAliasPermanentLink() API added.
  89
  90     - Option for only aliasing private, unregistered
  91       IP addresses added.
  92
  93     - Substantial rework to the aliasing lookup engine.
  94
  95 Version 2.1: May, 1997 (cjm)
  96     - Continuing rework to the aliasing lookup engine
  97       to support multiple incoming addresses and static
  98       NAT.  PacketAliasRedirectPort() and
  99       PacketAliasRedirectAddr() added to API.
 100
 101     - Now supports outgoing as well as incoming ICMP
 102       error messages.
 103
 104 Version 2.2: July, 1997 (cjm)
 105     - Rationalized API function names to all begin with
 106       "PacketAlias..."  Old function names are retained
 107       for backwards compatibility.
 108
 109     - Packet aliasing engine will now free memory of
 110       fragments which are never resolved after a timeout
 111       period.  Once a fragment is resolved, it becomes
 112       the users responsibility to free the memory.
 113
 114 Version 2.3: August 11, 1997 (cjm)
 115     - Problem associated with socket file descriptor
 116       accumulation in alias_db.c corrected.  The sockets
 117       had to be closed when a binding failed.  Problem
 118       in code located by Gordon Burditt.
 119
 120 Version 2.4: September 1, 1997 (cjm)
 121     - PKT_ALIAS_UNREGISTERED_ONLY option repaired.
 122       This part of the code was incorrectly re-implemented
 123       in version 2.1.
 124
 125 Version 2.5: December, 1997 (ee)
 126     - Added PKT_ALIAS_PUNCH_FW mode for firewall
 127       bypass of FTP/IRC DCC data connections.  Also added
 128       improved TCP connection monitoring.
 129
 130 Version 2.6: May, 1998 (amurai)
 131     - Added supporting routine for NetBios over TCP/IP.
 132
 133 Version 3.0: January 1, 1999
 134     - Transparent proxying support added.
 135     - PPTP redirecting support added based on patches
 136       contributed by Dru Nelson <dnelson@redwoodsoft.com>.
 137
 138 Version 3.1: May, 2000 (Erik Salander, erik@whistle.com)
 139     - Added support to alias 227 replies, allows aliasing for
 140       FTP servers in passive mode.
 141     - Added support for PPTP aliasing.
 142
 143 Version 3.2: July, 2000 (Erik Salander, erik@whistle.com and
 144       Junichi Satoh, junichi@junichi.org)
 145     - Added support for streaming media (RTSP and PNA) aliasing.
