+ * Version 4.0
* INCOMPATIBILE CHANGE: fping and fping6 unification
* INCOMPATIBILE CHANGE: -n option, not the same as -d anymore
Option -n / --name is now doing a reverse-DNS lookups on host addresses,
- only they are given as IP address, but not for hostnames. For example, if
- you write 'fping -n google.com', fping would previously do a forward-DNS
- lookup on google.com, and then a reverse-DNS lookup on the resolved IP
- address. Now, it is just going to keep the name 'google.com'. That same
- behavior can be achieved with the option -d / --rdns (which was previously
- an alias for -n).

for reply packets, specified with -t. This change is relevant only for the
