@@ -1,298 +1,309 @@
-== 1.7.1 - 26-Sep-2013
-* Fixed a bug in the Ping::TCP class where it could return nil instead
-  of false. Thanks go to Grandy Nguyen for the patch.
-
-== 1.7.0 - 25-Aug-2013
-* Now requires Ruby 1.9.x or later.
-* Replaced the main ping code for the Ping::TCP class. The timeout module
-  really doesn't work very well with sockets, and so a raw socket approach
-  combined with IO.select is now used instead.
-* Updates to the doc/ping.txt file.
-
-== 1.6.2 - 8-Aug-2013
-* Fixed a bug in the ICMP ping helper module. Thanks go to Yuichi
-  Tsunematsu for the spot.
-* The win32-security library is not just a development dependency. Thanks
-  again go to Yuichi Tsunematsu for the spot.
-* Updated the icmp ping tests.
-* Updated the gemspec for MS Windows.
-
-== 1.6.1 - 17-Jul-2013
-* Automatically set the scheme to "http" if not present when performing
-  HTTP pings. See https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8645 for an issue
-  with the uri library that led to this change. Thanks go to Preston Lee
-  for the spot.
-* Removed the windows/system_info dependency, since it added other
-  dependencies just to check the Windows version. Instead, I added a
-  helper file that adds some needed Windows functions using FFI.
-* Added Rake as a development dependency and updated the Gemfile
-  source because Bundler. Thanks to Jean-Philippe Doyle for the patches.
-* Added some warning text to the Net::Ping::External tests for users
-  who are using OpenDNS. In short, you will probably get test failures
-  and surprising true results for bad hosts.
-
-== 1.6.0 - 19-Mar-2013
-* Split out the ldap portion of the code into its own branch.
-* Don't require resolv-replace on Ruby 1.9.3 or later.
-* Now gets proxy information from the http_proxy, https_proxy, and
-  no_proxy environment variables and uses that when making requests.
-  Thanks go to Kevin Olbrich for the patch.
- 
-== 1.5.3 - 29-Feb-2012
-* Removed the Windows::Console dependency and replaced it with FFI since there
-  were only two functions needed. This had the nice side effect of making it
-  work with JRuby, too.
-* Minor cleanup on some multi-variable assignment.
-* Fixed require statements and one test for 1.9.
-
-== 1.5.2 - 4-Nov-2011
-* The Net::Ping::HTTP class now defaults to using HEAD instead of GET
-  for its ping test. You can alter this via the get_request accessor.
-  Thanks got to Balazs Kutil for the patch.
-* Added the ssl_verify_mode accessor to the Net::Ping::HTTP class, which
-  defaults to VERIFY_NONE. This fixes possible warnings resulting from
-  missing SSL certificates when using https. Thanks go to Balazs Kutil
-  for the patch.
-
-== 1.5.1 - 15-Sep-2011
-* Use RbConfig on Ruby 1.9 and later. Thanks go to Torsten Schönebaum
-  for the patch.
-
-== 1.5.0 - 3-May-2011
-* Added the Net::Ping::LDAP class which allows you to perform LDAP pings.
-  Thanks go to Paul Gallagher for adding this.
-* The duration instance variable is now reset to nil on a failed ping. Again,
-  thanks go to Paul Gallagher.
-
-== 1.4.1 - 17-Mar-2011
-* Incorporated changes from Lukas Zapletal that alters the icmp tests to use
-  your localhost instead of going outside the network.
-* The http tests were similarly modified courtesy of fakeweb, which is now a
-  development dependency. Again, change from Lukas Zapletal.
-* The icmp tests were reworked for Windows Vista and later. This required the
-  addition of the win32-security library as a development dependency.
-* The Net::Ping::WMI class is no longer skipped on require or in tests since
-  JRuby now supports win32ole.
-
-== 1.4.0 - 14-Feb-2011
-* Added the redirect_limit accessor for the Net::Ping::HTTP class. This caps
-  the number of redirects that are allowed before a ping is considered a
-  failure. The default is 5.
-* Changed the way in which redirects are detected. Previously I was checking
-  against the response class, but decided this was unreliable. I now check the
-  response code itself. Any code in the 300 range is considered a redirect.
-* The default port for the Net::Ping::HTTP class is no longer explicitly set
-  to 80, but instead uses the result of the URI.parse(uri).port method by
-  default. Note that you can still override the port if you explicitly provide
-  one in the constructor.
-* The Net::Ping::HTTP class now handles https URI's properly. Note that you may
-  get a warning about peer certificates.
-
-== 1.3.7 - 14-Oct-2010
-* Wrapped the ICMP ping in a while loop that breaks on success to prevent
-  the ping from failing too early. Thanks go to Benny Holmgren for the
-  spot and the patch.
-
-== 1.3.6 - 4-Sep-2010
-* Fixed variable naming issue in Net::Ping::External. Thanks go to taw
-  for the spot.
-* Added a default Rake task.
-* Refactored the tests for Net::Ping::External to take advantage of the
-  features of test-unit 2.x.
-
-== 1.3.5 - 3-Sep-2010
-* Allow for custom user agent in Net::Ping::HTTP. Thanks go to Michael
-  Reinsch for the patch.
-
-== 1.3.4 - 25-Jun-2010
-* Fixed a dumb platform bug. Thanks go to Jason Frey for the spot.
-
-== 1.3.3 - 21-Jun-2010
-* Bug fixes for JRuby on MS Windows. The code now explicitly checks for JRuby
-  in a few places to ensure it doesn't try to load unsupported libraries
-  on MS Windows. Thanks go to Rob Schultz for the spot and some patches.
-* The Net::Ping::HTTP class will no longer fail because a root URI
-  is missing a trailing slash. If the URI#path is empty, it now defaults
-  to the root path.
-* The Rakefile tasks and naming were refactored.
-* Some tests were refactored to take advantage of test-unit 2.x features,
-  as well as make them better and more descriptive in general.
-
-== 1.3.2 - 21-Sep-2009
-* Doing a 'require "net/ping"' was not automatically loading the
-  Net::Ping::WMI class on MS Windows. This has been fixed. Thanks go to
-  Joseph M. for the spot.
-* Removed all $LOAD_PATH mangling for both the library and tests.
-* Fixed a bug in the Net::Ping::HTTP class where a failed redirect did
-  not set the @exception and @warning instance variables properly.
-* The PingStatus struct returned by Net::Ping::WMI is now frozen.
-* The test-unit library was switched from a runtime dependency to a
-  development dependency.
-* Added the :gem Rake task that builds a gem.
-* Updated the :gem_install task to use the :gem task as a prerequisite.
-* Updated the dependencies for MS Windows.
-* The Rake test tasks are now more Rakish, e.g. test:tcp instead of test_tcp.
-* Renamed example file names to avoid any potential confusion with actual
-  test files.
-
-== 1.3.1 - 22-Jul-2009
-* Removed class aliases, e.g. use Ping::External, not PingExternal.
-* Minor code change to eliminate a warning that popped up in 1.9.x.
-* The win32-open3 library is removed as a dependency for Ruby 1.9.x.
-* Changed license to Artistic 2.0.
-* Some gemspec and README updates.
-
-== 1.3.0 - 19-May-2009
-* Added the Ping::WMI class for MS Windows. This class encapsulates the
-  Win32_PingStatus WMI class. Unlike other ping methods, this one returns
-  a struct that contains various bits of information.
-* The Net::Ping::External class now ensures that handles opened by the open3
-  call are closed. Thanks go to Nick S. Kanakakorn for the spot and a
-  preliminary patch.
-* The Net::Ping::ICMP class now explicitly closes the socket if the call to
-  the Socket.pack_sockaddr_in method fails.
-* Some documentation updates.
-
-== 1.2.3 - 13-Jan-2008
-* Fixed a bug in the checksum private method where it would die on odd data
-  sizes. Thanks go to Jake Douglas for the spot.
-* A Socket.get_sockaddr_in call in the Ping::ICMP class is no longer included
-  as part of the overall ping time. Thanks go again to Jake Douglas for
-  the spot.
-* Added data_size tests to the Ping::ICMP test suite.
-* Renamed and updated the test files. The test-unit 2.x gem is now a
-  prerequisite as a result.
-
-== 1.2.2 - 22-Jan-2008
-* Bug fix for Ping::External where it was not honoring the timeout value.
-  Thanks go to Chris Morris for the spot and the patch.
-* Bug fix for Ping::External where non-English output could cause false
-  positives on MS Windows Vista or later. This library now requires the
-  windows-pr library on MS Windows systems as a result.
-* Added the Ping::UDP.service_check and Ping::UDP.service_check= class
-  methods. This method controls whether or not Errno::ECONNREFUSED or
-  Errno::ECONNRESET are considered successful pings or not.
-* The Ping::HTTP class no longer uses the resolv-replace library on MS Windows
-  because it was (ironically) causing timeouts.
-* Changed the Ping::TCP.econnrefused method to Ping::TCP.service_check. I
-  changed it because I now use a similar method in Ping::UDP, but that handles
-  more than Errno::ECONNREFUSED. An alias is provided to provide backwards
-  compatibility, but it is considered deprecated and will be removed in the
-  1.3.0 release.
-* Removed the install.rb file. The Rakefile now handles installation.
-
-== 1.2.1 - 6-Apr-2007
-* For the Ping::External class, if a ping attempt results in 100% packet loss
-  it is now considered a failed ping, regardless of whether or not an error
-  was sent to stdout.
-* Fixed the Ping::External class for OS X.
-* Added a Rakefile. Installation and testing should now be run via Rake tasks.
-* Minor fix for the Ping::ICMP class where I had accidentally dup'd some
-  aliases. This was harmless, but did cause warnings with -w.
-
-== 1.2.0 - 5-Dec-2006
-* Internal reorganization - each class now lives in its own file.
-* Added the Ping::ICMP class.  Thanks go to Jos Backus for contributing a
-  large part of the code.
-* The host argument is now optional in the constructor.  You can now specify
-  it in the ping method instead.  Note that it must be specified in one place
-  or the other.
-* Each PingXXX class is now Ping::XXX instead.  However, class name aliases
-  have been setup for backwards compatibility for now.
-* The constructor for each Ping types now yields self.
-* Added the pingecho alias for the ping method for each Ping type.
-* Added the Ping::HTTP#follow_redirect accessor.
-* The Ping::HTTP#ping method now honors the timeout value.
-* The Ping::HTTP class now follows redirects automatically, though this is
-  configurable with the follow_redirect accessor.
-* The Ping::TCP.ecr and Ping::TCP.ecr= methods are now true class method
-  aliases (they were just wrappers previously).
-* The Ping::UDP class now enforces a 64 character limit on data that can be
-  sent on a udp ping.
-* Updated the gemspec.  Specifically, MS Windows now has a dependency on
-  the win32-open3 package.
-* Added inline rdoc.
-
-== 1.1.1 - 15-Jun-2006
-* Fixed a bug in PingTCP (bad variable name).  Thanks go to Anoop Chandran
-  for the spot.
-* Minor variable name refactoring.
-* Minor test updates.
-
-== 1.1.0 - 17-Jul-2005
-* Fixed a bug in the PingHTTP#ping method where I was accidentally passing
-  the timeout value instead of the port number as the third argument to
-  Net::HTTP.get_response.
-* The PingHTTP.new method now has a default port of 80.
-* Minor doc update for PingHTTP.new.
-
-== 1.0.1 - 22-Jun-2005
-* Bug fix for the install.rb file.  The gem is unaffected.
-
-== 1.0.0 - 14-Jun-2005
-* Renamed project from net-pingsimple to just net-ping.
-* Added a PingHTTP subclass.
-* Moved project to RubyForge.
-* Added a gemspec.
-
-== 0.3.1 - 9-Apr-2005
-* Updated PingExternal to use win32/open3 on Win32 platforms.
-* Minor error handling change for the PingSimple.econnrefused= method.  It now
-  raises an ArgumentError if any values other than true or false are passed.
-* PingSimple#warning and PingSimple#exception are now read-only methods.
-* The warning and exception attributes are now reset to nil between each call
-  to ping.
-* The data and data= methods are now unique to the PingUDP class.
-* The time and time= methods have been changed to timeout and timeout=,
-  respectively.
-* Removed the pingsimple.rd and pingsimple.html files.  The pingsimple.txt file
-  has been reorganized and is now rdoc friendly.
-* Added a few sample programs under the 'examples' directory.
-* Some minor test updates and changes.

-* Now requires Ruby 1.8.0 or later.
-
-== 0.3.0 - 12-Feb-2004

-* Initial release.
+== 1.7.2 - 21-Jan-2014
+* Fixed a bug in the Ping::HTTP constructor where it was not honoring the
+  port if provided as the second argument. Thanks go to Florian Anderiasch
+  for the spot.
+* Removed win32-open3 require in the Ping::External class since it isn't
+  needed in Ruby 1.9.x or later.
+* Refactored the Ping::External class so that it checks the exit status rather
+  than try to parse output. Thanks go to Miguel Tubia for the suggestion.
+* Dropped explicit support for Windows XP.
+* Removed reference to win32-open3 in README.
+
+== 1.7.1 - 26-Sep-2013

+* Added the Ping::UDP.service_check and Ping::UDP.service_check= class
+  methods. This method controls whether or not Errno::ECONNREFUSED or
+  Errno::ECONNRESET are considered successful pings or not.
+* The Ping::HTTP class no longer uses the resolv-replace library on MS Windows
+  because it was (ironically) causing timeouts.
+* Changed the Ping::TCP.econnrefused method to Ping::TCP.service_check. I
+  changed it because I now use a similar method in Ping::UDP, but that handles
+  more than Errno::ECONNREFUSED. An alias is provided to provide backwards
+  compatibility, but it is considered deprecated and will be removed in the
+  1.3.0 release.
+* Removed the install.rb file. The Rakefile now handles installation.
+
+== 1.2.1 - 6-Apr-2007
+* For the Ping::External class, if a ping attempt results in 100% packet loss
+  it is now considered a failed ping, regardless of whether or not an error
+  was sent to stdout.
+* Fixed the Ping::External class for OS X.
+* Added a Rakefile. Installation and testing should now be run via Rake tasks.
+* Minor fix for the Ping::ICMP class where I had accidentally dup'd some
+  aliases. This was harmless, but did cause warnings with -w.
+
+== 1.2.0 - 5-Dec-2006
+* Internal reorganization - each class now lives in its own file.
+* Added the Ping::ICMP class.  Thanks go to Jos Backus for contributing a
+  large part of the code.
+* The host argument is now optional in the constructor.  You can now specify
+  it in the ping method instead.  Note that it must be specified in one place
+  or the other.
+* Each PingXXX class is now Ping::XXX instead.  However, class name aliases
+  have been setup for backwards compatibility for now.
+* The constructor for each Ping types now yields self.
+* Added the pingecho alias for the ping method for each Ping type.
+* Added the Ping::HTTP#follow_redirect accessor.
+* The Ping::HTTP#ping method now honors the timeout value.
+* The Ping::HTTP class now follows redirects automatically, though this is
+  configurable with the follow_redirect accessor.
+* The Ping::TCP.ecr and Ping::TCP.ecr= methods are now true class method
+  aliases (they were just wrappers previously).
+* The Ping::UDP class now enforces a 64 character limit on data that can be
+  sent on a udp ping.
+* Updated the gemspec.  Specifically, MS Windows now has a dependency on
+  the win32-open3 package.
+* Added inline rdoc.
+
+== 1.1.1 - 15-Jun-2006
+* Fixed a bug in PingTCP (bad variable name).  Thanks go to Anoop Chandran
+  for the spot.
+* Minor variable name refactoring.
+* Minor test updates.
+
+== 1.1.0 - 17-Jul-2005
+* Fixed a bug in the PingHTTP#ping method where I was accidentally passing
+  the timeout value instead of the port number as the third argument to
+  Net::HTTP.get_response.
+* The PingHTTP.new method now has a default port of 80.
+* Minor doc update for PingHTTP.new.
+
+== 1.0.1 - 22-Jun-2005
+* Bug fix for the install.rb file.  The gem is unaffected.
+
+== 1.0.0 - 14-Jun-2005
+* Renamed project from net-pingsimple to just net-ping.
+* Added a PingHTTP subclass.
+* Moved project to RubyForge.
+* Added a gemspec.
+
+== 0.3.1 - 9-Apr-2005
+* Updated PingExternal to use win32/open3 on Win32 platforms.
+* Minor error handling change for the PingSimple.econnrefused= method.  It now
+  raises an ArgumentError if any values other than true or false are passed.
+* PingSimple#warning and PingSimple#exception are now read-only methods.
+* The warning and exception attributes are now reset to nil between each call
+  to ping.
+* The data and data= methods are now unique to the PingUDP class.
+* The time and time= methods have been changed to timeout and timeout=,
+  respectively.
+* Removed the pingsimple.rd and pingsimple.html files.  The pingsimple.txt file
+  has been reorganized and is now rdoc friendly.
+* Added a few sample programs under the 'examples' directory.
+* Some minor test updates and changes.
+* Removed the INSTALL file.  That information is now in the README file.
+* Now requires Ruby 1.8.0 or later.
+
+== 0.3.0 - 12-Feb-2004
+* Fixed ping string for PingExternal class based on platform.  The old
+  string was really only good for Linux and *BSD.
+* Added Win32 support (requires win32_popen package).
+* Added warranty info.
+
+== 0.2.3 - 12-Aug-2003
+* Fixed a bug in PingExternal that could consume file descriptors if used in a loop
+* Added some initialization to avoid -w warnings
+* Removed VERSION() class method.  Use the constant instead
+* Modified test suite slightly
+* Moved rd2 docs to doc directory
+
+== 0.2.2 - 3-Apr-2003
+* Fixed handling of stdout in PingExternal
+
+== 0.2.1 - 27-Mar-2003

+* Exceptions and warnings from PingExternal are now chomp'd
+* Modified test suite
+* Doc updates
+
+== 0.2.0 - 14-Feb-2003
+* The default behavior of PingTCP with regards to ECONNREFUSED is now
+  configurable
+* Added a VERSION constant and method (to the base class)
+* Added a test suite (for those with testunit installed)
+* Doc changes, rearrangement and general cleanup
+* Manifest is now MANIFEST
+* Added an INSTALL file
+
+== 0.1.0 - 9-Dec-2002
+* Added ping? alias for ping method
+* Warnings now handled separately
+* Corrected a mis-named variable in Ping::External
+* Fixed the install.rb file
+* Updated and added docs
+* Renamed tarball to net-pingsimple to reflect RAA naming convention
+
+== 0.0.1a
