fping (5.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium From the upstream changelog under "Incompatible Changes": * In non-quiet loop and count mode, a line is printed for every lost packet (https://github.com/schweikert/fping/pull/175): $ fping -D -c2 8.8.8.8 8.8.8.7 [1596092373.18423] 8.8.8.8 : [0], 64 bytes, 12.8 ms (12.8 avg, 0% loss) [1596092374.18223] 8.8.8.7 : [0], timed out (NaN avg, 100% loss) [1596092374.18424] 8.8.8.8 : [1], 64 bytes, 12.3 ms (12.5 avg, 0% loss) [1596092375.18344] 8.8.8.7 : [1], timed out (NaN avg, 100% loss) 8.8.8.8 : xmt/rcv/%loss = 2/2/0%, min/avg/max = 12.3/12.5/12.8 8.8.8.7 : xmt/rcv/%loss = 2/0/100% * The returned size in bytes now always excludes the IP header, so if before it reported '84 bytes' e.g. when using 'fping -l', now it reports '64 bytes'. This is to make the reported size consistent with ping(8) from iputils and also with fping when pinging a IPv6 host (which never included the IPv6 header size). -- Axel Beckert Fri, 07 Aug 2020 22:10:00 +0200 fping (4.0-4) unstable; urgency=medium For backward compatibility with remote smokeping configurations on older releases, the fping Debian package will continue to provide /usr/bin/fping6 until at least Debian 9 Stretch is end of life. Please do not use fping6 in scripts or configurations which don't require it for backwards-compatibility with older fping versions. -- Axel Beckert Wed, 06 Sep 2017 01:57:56 +0200 fping (4.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium From the upstream changelog: fping and fping6 are now unified into one binary. It means that, for example, doing 'fping google.com' is going to ping the IPv6 IP of google.com on IPv6-enabled hosts. You can force usage of IPv6 or IPv4 by adding the commandline options -4 or -6. -- Axel Beckert Sat, 26 Aug 2017 09:26:46 +0200
