Incompatible changes

Handling numeric options changed

ping: use '.' (dot) as a decimal separator regardless locale (for -i/-W
options). Since s20121121 till s20190709 decimal separator for -i option
depended on locales ($LC_NUMERIC), but only when compiled with USE_IDN=yes.
(issue #290, commit: d865d4c, 1530bc9)
ping: temporarily allow -i option to contain trailing non-numeric characters.
Previously only -W option allowed this (non-numeric characters were silently
discharged), now both -i/-W print warning. This will become fatal error in
the future. (issue: #236, #290, commit: 562e0d5)

arping

[security] disable setcap and setuid (prevent ARP Poisoning, issue: #203)
fix wrong exit code for -D option (issue: #209, originally reported:
void-linux/void-packages#13304)
fix -f quit on first reply (issue: #211, originally reported:
https://bugs.debian.org/935946)
do not fail when unsolicited ARP mode destination does not answer when use -U
or -A (issue: #247)

clockdiff

add timeformat options: -T/--time-format <ctime|iso> and -I (alias for
--time-format=iso)
use strftime() instead of deprecated ctime_r() (commit: d6e1d77)

ninfod

fix build with libcap 2.29 (issue: #246)
fix struct qtypeinfo packing (commit: f0a6348)

ping

[security] use random value for the identifier field instead of PID when using
SOCK_RAW socket
allow user to specify VRF and source IP (commit: 9e08707)
try next addrinfo on connect failure (fixes reachability when getaddrinfo()
returns IPv6 results first on hosts with only IPv4 routes available, commit:
2705c82, c249e48)
fix IPv6 name resolution for hostnames with link-local addresses (commit: d217170)
fix print gateway IP on little endian architectures on IPPROTO_ICMP sockets
(commit: e2e9a2d)
discard packets with wrong source address (comply RFC 1122, commit: 5e052ad)
suppress duplicate reply messages when ping multicast (issue: #195,
originally reported: https://bugs.debian.org/498429)
allow any package size (-s) to be defined by user (issue: #210)
use C locale for parsing -i/-W options without IDN (commit: d865d4c)
yet another fix for round-trip time (RTT) (commit: 5b6c194, never ending
story, see issue: #232)
reintroduce support of flow label for very old systems (issue: #268,
regression: s20190324, originally reported: https://bugs.debian.org/682511,
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/iputils/blob/0bbd37701742cc6da0e91f6cc5ba6cf6a522fca2/f/iputils-20100418-flowlabel.patch,
originally fixes in fed7e63 from November 2012)
fix IPv6 error handling for old kernels without ping socket (regression: s20161105)
move sources subdirectory (affects built binary location)

rdisc

report in --version whether compiled with server support

tftpd

stop building by default (use dnsmasq instead)
add example xinetd file
move sources subdirectory (affects built binary location)

Localization

new translations: Ukrainian (100%), Turkish (100%), German (53%), French
(40%), Portuguese (Brazil) (43%), Chinese (Simplified, zh_CN) (38%)
updated: Japanese (84%)
starting to manage translations via Fedora's Weblate
https://translate.fedoraproject.org/projects/iputils/iputils/
(issue: #271)

General cleanup (across code)

add md5 implementation to avoiding linking to crypto libraries, or expect
kernel api to provide md5 functionality (issue: #239)
use clock_gettime() rather gettimeofday() (issue: #213, #214, #215)
use CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
various fixes discovered via LGTM scan and clang-tidy (missing includes,
incorrect types and declarations, etc)
man pages spelling fixes
refactoring

Meson build system

Allow to set using setcap-setuid.sh per application (commit: 054670a)
fix build for non-systemd builds
don't require xsltproc any more (instead skip building man and html)
fix static build with libidn2

Travis CI

including cross-compilation and musl libc (issue: #169)
