   - unlinkAfterAnalyze is no more
   - unlinkOnDestroy defaults to 1 (replaces unlinkAfterAnalyze)
   - callStart defaults to 1
   - Auto DescL\d creation when a new Frame is created
     If a DescL\d has already been created on the first Frame creation, it is 
     not overwritten.

     Frame sent

0.26 Wed Sep 29 18:23:19 2004
   - !!! last version of Net::Pkt. It is renamed to Net::Packet.
   - NEW: Net::Pkt::getHostIpv4Addr()
   - NEW: Net::Pkt::getHostIpv4Addrs()

0.25 Sun Sep 26 21:20:37 2004
   - bugfix: an error in method Net::Pkt::next was making a segfault, due to a 
     bad typemap in Net::Pcap (FILE * to T_IN under Perl 5.8 is bad). Resolved 
     by creating my own Net::Pcap::file sub.

0.24 Sun Sep 26 15:08:11 2004
  - !!! live capture ready via next sub in Net::Pkt::Dump.
    See examples/arp-scan.pl of perldoc Net::Pkt::Dump.
  - Net::Ifconfig::Wrapper: removed, now uses IO::Interface which is better 
    (but not perfect, so there remains the need for a wrapper around ifconfig 
    on some systems)
  - NEW: Net::Pkt::LayerARP: isReply
  - NEW: Net::Pkt::LayerARP: isRequest
  - Net::Pkt::Frame: new object data: reply to store the frame received on 
    a recv method call
  - NEW: Net::Pkt::Dump->next: returns next available frame from savefile
  - Net::Pkt::Dump->analyze: returns empty array if there is nothing to read 
    in savefile
  - Net::Pkt::Dump->analyze: now returns @frames if some have been analyzed
  - Net::Pkt::Dump: added a global to set sniffing in promiscuous mode
    => $Net::Pkt::Promisc, default to 0.
  - Net::Pkt::Dump: signal to handle DESTROY cleanly when hiting CTRL+C
  - Net::Pkt::Dump: documentation
  - Net::Pkt::Dump->new: callStart option (default 0)
  - Net::Pkt::LayerUDP->print: also prints payload size
  - Net::Pkt::LayerICMPv4: do not exit when an ICMP message is not yet known

0.23  Fri Sep  3 22:24:18 2004
