Wireshark

This release fixes the packaging and adds minor updates and fixes for the following protocols: AFS, OpenBSD enc(4), RTP, SCSI, SIP, SMPP, and SSH.

Three security problems have been fixed. Many small interface changes were made. RTP streams can now be saved to a file.

Please note the next release will not be 1.0. There are still more features to be added before a 1.0 release will be ready. Plugin search behavior was improved under Unix, allowing more than one version of Ethereal to be installed at one time. The statistics graphs have been enhanced. More statistics have been added.

Serious problems with the BGP, LMP, PPP, and TDS dissectors have been discovered. The TAP subsystem received major updates, more updates have been added to TCP analysis, and the look of the plugins dialog was revamped.

In order to improve the out-of-box responsiveness of Ethereal and Tethereal, network name resolution has been disabled by default. TCP analysis (a feature added in the 0.9.6 release) was improved. The NCP code base received quite a few updates. Initial support for version 2 of the GTK+ library was added. RPC staticstics (which use the new Tap API) were added. Due to added and updated support for the NTLM, SNEGO, and GSS-API protocols, Ethereal can now dissect most of the security blobs for Windows 2000 authentication.
