15 New and Updated Features
17 The TAP subsystem received major updates. Tethereal can display
18 more statistics, and several graphs have been added to Ethereal.
20 A protocol hierarchy statistics tap was added to tethereal. This code
21 may be used to replace the hierarchy statistics code in Ethereal.
23 More updates have been added to TCP analysis.
25 After a long hiatus, the Windows installer once again includes SNMP
28 The total running time of the capture is now displayed in the capture
29 progress dialog box. The capture progress dialog also shows ARP packets.
31 The look of the plugins dialog was revamped.
36 A bug which caused Ethereal under Windows to crash when "Update list of
37 packets in real time" was enabled has been fixed.
39 The stability of the text2pcap utility has been improved.
41 In tethereal, the packet count is properly displayed when you ^C out of a

68 Ethereal 0.9.7 has been released.
72 In order to improve the out-of-box responsiveness of Ethereal and
73 Tethereal, network name resolution has been disabled by default.
75 TCP analysis (a feature added in the 0.9.6 release) was improved.
77 The NCP code base received quite a few updates.
79 Initial support for version 2 of the GTK+ library was added.
81 RPC staticstics (which use the new Tap API) were added.
83 Due to added and updated support for the NTLM, SNEGO, and GSS-API
84 protocols, Ethereal can now dissect most of the security blobs for
85 Windows 2000 authentication.
87 The Ethernet "manuf" file now handles addresses specified with a
88 mask, and contains many well-known addresses.

122 A bad TCP header could cause problems for the "Follow TCP Stream"
125 Setting "column.format" from the command line no longer crashes
126 Ethereal and Tethereal.
128 Problems with capture files being overwritten (e.g. if you try to save over
129 the current capture file) have been fixed.
131 An SMB conversation handling bug has been fixed.
133 Thanks to Valgrind, several memory leaks have been fixed.
135 Some problems with printing under Windows have been fixed.
