DayOfTheWeek, Month DD, YYYY / The Tcpdump Group
Summary for 4.99.6 tcpdump release (so far!)
Refine protocol decoding for:
IPv6: Add a missing comma and remove a colon in the output.
TCP: Note if the Urgent Pointer is non-zero while URG flag not set,
if the verbose level is > 1 (option -vv and more).

if the verbose level is > 1 (option -vv and more).
TCP: Fix Reset segment processing.
IP, IPv6: Fix setting the snapshot length for the payload.
PTP: Remove spaces before colons in output.
PTP: Fix management packet fields.
Source code:
Fix '-tt' option printing when time > 2106-02-07T06:28:15Z.

issue #1226).
Building and testing:
