fping will now discard replies, if they arrive after the defined timeout
for reply packets, specified with -t. This change is relevant only for the
- counting and looping modes, where the measured times should now be more

consistent (see github issue #32 for details).
To prevent loosing reply packets because of this change, the default
- timeout in counting and looping modes is now automatically adjusted to the

* INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: no restrictions by default
- fping will not enforce that -i is >= 1 and -p >= 10 anymore, except if

The reasoning to removing the restrictions by default, is that users can
