* Compare pcap_next_ex() result to PCAP_ERROR/PCAP_ERROR_BREAK (Jon Siwek, Corelight)
* GH-977: Improve pcap error handling (Jon Siwek, Corelight)
Switches from pcap_next() to pcap_next_ex() to better handle all error
conditions. This allows, for example, to have a non-zero exit code for
a Zeek process that fails to fully process all packets in a pcap file.
* Remove not-useful code in iosource::Manager::OpenPktSrc (Jon Siwek, Corelight)
3.2.0-dev.779 | 2020-06-11 23:17:46 -0700
* Rename BroType to zeek::Type (Tim Wojtulewicz, Corelight)
