IPTSTATE CONTRIBUTIONS

IPTState is written and maintained by Phil Dibowitz <phil AT ipom DOT com>

I originally wrote the software not planning on releasing it - I wanted

a feature similar to IP Filter's StateTop when I was using Linux. I

decided to release it. It became much bigger than I expected in just a

month.

IPTState wouldn't be where it is today without many other people. This is

an attempt to credit and thank them.

IDEA

Darren Reed wrote IP Filter.

Frank Volf wrote the Statetop code for IP Filter.

BY VERSION

Other contributions follow based on version. If you contributed something

and you are not listed here, let me know, it's easy to forget to list

people. Also note that if you're in the Changelog, you may not be here:

2.1

- Thanks to Brian Nelson for find the -sSdD bug quickly before everyone

  had packaged 2.0!

2.0

- Thanks to Ted Faber for his extensive coding knowledge

- Thanks to Garrick Stapples for his help figuring out ncurses pads and scrolling

- Thanks Bill Hudacek for the formatting bug report.

1.4

-

1.3

- Steve Augart finally proved the memory leak was in ncurses. Just in

the nick of time before Debian kicked ipstate out. Extra special mega

thanks to you Steve! Others who helped were Julian Seward, Todd Lyons,

and many suggestions from various folks on the UUASC and USCLUG mailing

lists.

- Todd Lyons pointed out snprintf's in printline function should allow

an extra char so as not to cut off newlines.

1.2.1

- Thanks to Martin Geisler for pointing out the typo in the man page

1.2.0

- Thanks to Garrick for all your help troubleshooting and beta testing.

1.1.0

- Beat Bolli sent in a large patch that was a reference to finish up much

of the work I was doing for this version such as fixing TTL sort, and

various simplifications. His patch also reminded me to do the -R option,

notified me of the 'make uninstall' bug, and gave a few cleanups.

- Blars Blarson sent a patch to the Debian developers noting that I was

only reading in 50 connections. He also sent in a patch to print a

newline upon exiting state-top mode so the prompt isn't mixed in left-

over output.

- Many others made patches that did some of the above things in countless

ways...

1.0.1

- Thanks to Garrick Staples for the .spec file
