	- Win32 Compatibility fixes.
	  Patch by mhx-perl at gmx.net (Marcus Holland-Moritz)
	- Apply bleadperl patch #22204
	- Add ToS support.
	  Patch by martin at lorensen.dk (Martin Lorensen)

2.30  Apr 18 14:00 2003
	- Fix select() bug for UDP and ICMP protocols
	  in case packet comes from wrong source or seq.
	- Allow UDP ping to different IP addresses
	  without instantiating a new object.
	- Add retrans() method to customize or disable
	  backoff factor for udp pings.
	  Thanks Torgny.Hofstedt at sevenlevels.se
	- Let ECONNRESET be considered reachable for
	  UDP pings.  Now it works for cygwin.
	  Spot by jhi at iki.fi (Jarkko Hietaniemi).

2.29  Apr 12 15:00 2003
	- Implement "double send()" concept for udp pings.
	  See: <http://perlmonks.thepen.com/42898.html>
	  Thanks to rdw @ perlmonks.
	- Send multiple udp packets in case of loss.
	- Exponential backoff code swiped from Net::DNS
	  Thanks to mike at fuhr.org (Michael Fuhr).
	- Also allows to capture udp ECONNREFUSED condition.
	- Rename tcp_service_check method to service_check.
	- Allow demo/fping -s to force service check.
	  Idea by ralijani at yahoo.com (REZA Alijani)
	- Fix return from ping to be compatible with wantarray
	  when the host doesn't even resolve.
	- Add udp proto test to test suite.
	- VMS patch from Craig Berry to pre-check echo.
	- Apply bleadperl patch (change #18904)
	- Apply bleadperl patch as explained:
	http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-
	porters/2003-03/msg00992.html

2.28  Jan 23 18:00 2003
	- No new features.  Bug fixes only.
	- Fixed ICMP_STRUCT to work on Big Endian platforms.
	  Thanks to danb at thelittlemacshop.com (Dan Buettner)
	  for testing on Mac OS X 10.2.3 and many others
	  for testing on Big Endian boxes.

	- Perl 5.004 compatibility fixes (Spot by Honza).

2.27  Jan 15 23:00 2003
	- Patch by slebedev at iwl.net (Sergey Lebedev):
	- 1) Fixed response packet parsing offsets in ping_icmp.
	- 2) Added icmp_result method.
	- Patch by radu at netsoft.ro (Radu Greab):
	- 1) Changed ping_tcp() to use non-blocking connect
	  instead of alarm() interface in order to avoid
	  conflicts with user applications.
	- 2) Also get rid of all eval {} code in ping_tcp
	  in order to avoid catching SIGALRM trigger and
	  to avoid conflicts with other evals.
	- 3) Avoid ioctl() syscall for more accurate error
	  detection on non-blocking tcp connects.
	- 4) Fix fcntl() syntax usage.
	- Patch by adelton at fi.muni.cz (Honza Pazdziora):
	- 1) Fix icmp request pack code to be more platform
	  independent regardless of Big/Little Endian.
	- 2) Use binmode for filehandle in case perl 5.8.0
	  tries to dink with the data stream.
	- Other changes by Rob Brown:
	- Fixed ack() failures under certain rare conditions.
	- Use more appropriate \z instead of $ in regex.
	- Resolved Cygwin "make test" problems reported by
	  h.m.brand at hccnet.nl (H.Merijn Brand).
	- Add sending a real ICMP packet in the test suite.
	- Add Socket to PREREQ_PM (missing on some boxes?)
	- Adjust syn_forking IPC pipe for fatter Win32 pids.
	- Better handling of alarm() in test suite for Win32.

	  (certain platforms or SMP optimizations).

2.24  Oct 21 22:00 2002
	- Compatibility fixes.
	- Avoid using 127.1.1.1 and 127.2.2.2 because
	  it breaks on some platforms (Irix).
	- Handle condition where nonblocking tcp connects
	  immediately connect on some platforms
	  (solaris and freebsd) and to be SMP safer.
	- Win32 $p->ack( $host ) method should now work.
	- Add ack( $host ) test cases to test suite.

2.23  Oct 18 22:00 2002
	- Fix ack() fd "each" detection bug.
	- Add nack() method for OO interface to the
