It would be interesting to know more about what bugs and issues you have fixed and what
other changes you have included. Is there a list? Do you publish the code on GitHub?

Subject: [HECnet] Bridge
I just wanted to alert people that I rewrote parts of the bridge code recently.
The code was very old, and it started to have problems on some platforms
because of the very ancient way it made use of the pcap library. So I finally bit
the bullet and rewrote it to make use of the pcap library it is supposed to be
used these days. This not only removed some bugs/issues, but it also allowed
me to remove some conditional code for different OSes.
In addition I also introduced some other changes that others have contributed,
making it hopefully a little nicer to use.
The bridge tarball can be found on:
