Here are the details from the Slackware 9.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
Sat Apr 17 11:03:35 PDT 2004
patches/packages/tcpdump-3.8.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to tcpdump-3.8.3 and
libpcap-0.8.3. This fixes a couple minor bugs that shouldn't affect
32-bit ix86 Slackware, but we might as well have the latest.
According to http://www.tcpdump.org:
TCPDUMP version 3.8.3 has been released as of March 30, 2004. 3.8.3 is
identical to 3.8.2, but the version number has been incremented to
match libpcap.
LIBPCAP version 0.8.3 has been released as of March 30, 2004. 0.8.3
fixes a minor problem with gencode.c on 64-bit architectures. It also
carries the correct version numbers.
+--------------------------+
Tue Mar 30 22:16:38 PST 2004
patches/packages/tcpdump-3.8.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to tcpdump-3.8.2
