- 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
Name and version:
* Now officially called 'WinDivert'
* Now officially working towards a version 1.0 release
New features:
* WinDivert now supports a packet-sniffing mode. This mode merely
copies packets, and does not drop the original.
* WinDivert now also supports a packet-dropping mode.
* WinDivert now supports filter priorities.
* WinDivert now supports a forwarded packet layer (WARNING: untested).
* WinDivert now supports get/set parameters such as packet queue length and
time.
* WinDivert now supports larger filters (but use at own risk).
* WinDivert now uninstalls the driver on program exit/library unload
* Different versions of WinDivert can co-exist on the same machine
(WARNING: untested, as there is currently only one version).
New License:
* WinDivert is now LGPL. This is less restrictive than the GPL so WinDivert
can be linked to by commercial software (under the terms of the LGPL
license).
Technical:
* Cleaner IOCTL interface.
* Cleaner driver implementation.
* Thread local events in WinDivert.dll
* Many minor tweaks and fixes.
includes making the driver handle I/O requests in parallel, and changing
the library such that it uses overlapped I/O. Overall the package is
now significantly faster.
- The divert driver now only adds WFP callouts when a filter is set,
instead of when a handle is created.
- The divert driver now attempts to avoid adding WFP callouts that are
superfluous with respect to the filter.
- The divert driver now explicitly deletes filters and callouts during
cleanup. This appears to resolve a bug where network connectivity is
sometimes lost.
- Added a new sample program: passthru.exe. This example doesn't do anything
interesting but is useful for speed testing.
- Rename build.sh to mingw-build.sh to avoid confusion.
