ValentinBELYN/icmplib v3.0.0

on GitHub

icmplib 3.0 is here! 🚀

• The library is now asynchronous!
  • Introduce new functions: async_ping, async_multiping and async_resolve.
  • Add a new AsyncSocket class to make an ICMP socket asynchronous.
• Rewrite models:
  • All the properties of Host and Hop classes are now lazy.
  • Add new properties to the Host and Hop classes: you can retrieve the list of round-trip times and calculate the jitter.
  • Add the metaclass __str__ to visualize the results more easily.
• Rewrite the ping, multiping and traceroute functions:
  • The identifier of ICMP requests is now handled automatically by the library.
  • Add the ability to set the address family if a hostname or an FQDN is specified.
  • A new implementation is used for the multiping function. It should be more reliable.
  • The multiping function is now in a dedicated module.
• Rewrite the documentation to help you get started with icmplib.
• Improve the resolve function to return all IP addresses found.
• Add the is_hostname function to check if a string is a hostname or an FQDN.
• Delete the experimental class BufferedSocket, replaced by AsyncSocket.
• Performance and compatibility improvement.
• Many other small changes and fixes.

Special thanks to @JonasKs and @bdraco for their suggestions, advice and feedback!

Python 3.7 or later is now required.
