libnids(3) manpage, alpha platform problems solved:
Dug Song <dugsong@anzen.com>
The fix of the problem with gcc 2.95 and 2.0.x asm code; the ideas of
nids_getfd(), nids_next():
Adam Langley <aglangley@geocities.com>
The idea of ip_filter function
Sebastian <scut@nb.in-berlin.de>
WIN32 support

in.h missing in "configure" test programs. Damn, if a include file X needs
structures defined in Y, why doesn't X include Y ? Stupid Solaris.
Raymond Scott <rscott@directlink.net>

Erno Rigo <mcree@tricon.hu>
more externals to access libnids' intrinsics from the outside
(nids_last_pcap_data, nids_linkoffset, nids_prm.pcap_desc,
nids_find_tcp_stream(), nids_free_tcp_stream(), nids_pcap_handler()
and nids_exit()), more API functions (nids_unregister_*()),
fix to prevent adding several times the same user-defined callback
function with nids_register_*()), UDP checksumming fix (0 is not an error
according to RFC768), timeout'ing of TCP streams closed despite
needed retransmissions if nids_params.tcp_workarounds is non-zero,
tcp_stream.user for connection-wide user-defined parameter,
and updated manpage & API docs :)

Libnids uses libpcap and libnet libraries:
LBNL Network Research Group <libpcap@ee.lbl.gov>
ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/libpcap.tar.Z
new versions available at http://www.tcpdump.org/release/
Mike D. Schiffman <mike@infonexus.com>
route|daemon9 <route@infonexus.com>

Libnids emulates algorithms present in Linux 2.0.36 kernel. The files
ip_fragment.c and ip_options.c are the modified respective files from Linux
2.0.36 kernel source. The asm code used for checksums computing is taken
from Linux 2.2.10 kernel source.
