Currently the VS build system targets VS2015, but
may also work for later versions (not tested).
To use:
- Download & install VS2015.
- Install WDK.
- Open a Developer Command Prompt.
- Run the msvc-build.bat script.
This allows projects that are strictly "GPLv2
only" to use WinDivert without licensing issues.
See the FSF's compatibility matrix here:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html
This change does not affect existing projects
that can continue to use the LGPLv3 as before.
Also, bump the WinDivert version to 1.4.1.
1) Remove the dependency on the WdfCoInstaller*.dll file. This file appears
to be unnecessary for Windows 7 and up, and for patched Vista+2008.
2) Remove the WinDivert.inf file (only used by the co-installer).
3) 32/64-bit versions of the driver are now explicitly named, meaning that
the two can co-exist in the same directory.
4) The 32-bit WinDivert.dll can now automatically load the 64-bit driver on
64-bit Windows. This means it is possible to write 32-bit WinDivert
applications that automatically work on 64-bit windows.
5) WinDivert.dll now schedules the WinDivert service to be deleted right
away. This should fix some cases where the service is never deleted,
even during reboot.
6) Updated build scripts to reflect the changes.
* Re-brand "DIVERT" to "WINDIVERT" throughout the code-base.
* New flags:
> WINDIVERT_FLAG_PASSTHRU: Do not drop nor capture packets. Useful
for injection-only handles.
> WINDIVERT_FLAG_NO_CHECKSUM: Do not guarantee that diverted packets
have a correct checksum.
NOTE: Not yet tested!
* New default values and limits for various WinDivert parameters,
including WINDIVERT_PARAM_QUEUE_LEN, WINDIVERT_PARAM_QUEUE_TIME, and
the maximum filter length.
* New extended WinDivert functions that support asynchronous I/O:
> WinDivertRecvEx(..)
> WinDivertSendEx(..)
NOTE: Not yet tested!
* The WinDivert driver now services reads (receives) out-of-band.
The motivation is because WFP callouts are run at DISPATCH_LEVEL, so
we should not be doing expensive work in the ClassifyFn. This is also
the same reason why the filter length has been restricted.
- VS2010 support added via msvc-build.bat and *.vcxproj files
- MinGW now also builds example programs
- Documentation and examples are now included in the binary packages
