Fixing the Linux Build

Windows and Mac users should continue to use 4.4. Version 4.4.1 fixes a build problem in Linux.

IPv6 Reduction

The combined IPv6/IPv4 engine that Qt now uses has shown to be very unreliable for Packet Sender's IPv4's persistent connections. Packet Sender's IPv6 bindings have been reduced until a better solution can be found.

Subnet calculator. Faster resend.

This version of Packet Sender features

Packet Sender with new UI and Persistent Connections

This is the first full release of Packet Sender that supports the new splitter-based UI and persistent connections. Enjoy!

• Persistent Connections!
• Modern split UI!
• Menu system

Persistent Connections and UI update 2

This pre-release fixes some of the problems found while testing the new split-window version of the Packet Sender UI.

• Search now searches saved packets only
• Search now searches ports and IP addresses
• About menu has been cleaned up
• Fixed import UI quirk

Next release should be a full formal release

Persistent Connections and UI update

• Packet Sender has abandoned the tabbed interface for a more modern draggable splitter. The packets and traffic log can now be viewed at the same time.
• Packet Sender finally has support for persistent connections! This feature is experimental, which is why this release is alpha-only (and just the portable version).
• Settings and About are moved to menu items.
• Some under-the-hood updates. Traffic log is a little faster. Packet Sender can now consume more bytes per request.

Now with Portable Support!

• Just download the pre-staged zipped version, and you are good to go! Packet Sender looks in its run-time directory for packets.ini and ps_settings.ini before looking in default.
• Read contents of a file from the command line to send.
• Save traffic log (tab-delineated).

Migrated to GitHub.
