# CHANGELOG

## Unreleased

## v1.0.0

- Initial stable commit! The API is mostly a direct translation of the previous
`github.com/mdlayher/raw` package APIs, with some updates to make everything
focused explicitly on Linux and `AF_PACKET` sockets. Functionally, the two
packages are equivalent, and `*raw.Conn` is now backed by `*packet.Conn` in
the latest version of the `raw` package.

## History

One of my first major Go networking projects was
[`github.com/mdlayher/raw`](https://github.com/mdlayher/raw), which provided
access to Linux `AF_PACKET` sockets and *BSD equivalent mechanisms for sending
and receiving Ethernet frames. However, the *BSD support languished and I lack
the expertise and time to properly maintain code for operating systems I do not
use on a daily basis.

Package `packet` is a successor to package `raw`, but exclusively focused on
Linux and `AF_PACKET` sockets. The APIs are nearly identical, but with a few
changes which take into account some of the lessons learned while working on
`raw`.

Users are highly encouraged to migrate any existing Linux uses of `raw` to
package `packet` instead. This package will be supported for the foreseeable
future and will receive continued updates as necessary.
