Npcap issues are now tracked on their own Github Issues
page, separate from Nmap issues. Many existing
issues have been migrated, and issue numbers may have changed. -
Rewrote the kernel packet capture buffer code again to avoid requiring a
separate worker thread. Instead, captured packets are held directly in a
synchronized queue. The worker thread introduced in Npcap 0.9991 was unable
to keep up with the volume of packet requests, leading to buffer bloat and
reduced performance. -
Avoid initializing loopback capture-related functions and processing packets
as soon as an adapter is opened. This will improve performance since adapters
are opened as part of listing adapters. -
Fix a crash in NPFInstall.exe when terminating processes which are using
Npcap resources. This could lead to failed installations and message windows
about "A LWF & WFP driver installation tool has stopped working." -
Update Npcap from NDIS 6.10 to NDIS 6.20, which limits its compatibility to
Windows 7 and higher. Closes #167. -
Fix a bug in Npcap 0.9991 which prevented packets from being captured until a
BPF filter had been set. Fixes #168 (migrated
from nmap/nmap#2037). -
Allow capture statistics and captured packets remaining in the buffer to be
retrieved when an adapter is removed. Fixes nmap/nmap#2036. -
Use WMI instead of the Windows 10-only
Get-NetAdapterPowershell cmdlet in
the DiagReport tool. Fixes nmap/nmap#611.
