I couldn't locate the sources after one hour looking through various
search-engines (doesn't help that xip is a Xena-fanclub or some other
fantasm homepage).
Release notes from the authors:
The dissectors for RTP, IP, ISAKMP, ICMP, SMB, SMB-PIPE, VTP, SNMPv3,
Ethernet, GRE, EIGRP, DHCP, IPX, X.25, RSVP, and L2TP have been updated,
fixed, or otherwise modified. Ethereal has new dissectors for Mobile IP
and COPS.
Internally, the dissector API has changed in order to catch more errors
at compile time and to guard against segfaulting when dissecting
short packets. The Ethereal team has to convert all the existing dissectors
to make use of the new API; that is a work in progress. If you have
your own dissector, you should consider converting it to this new API
as soon as possible. Read the doc/README.tvbuff file for information,
and be sure to subscribe to the ethereal-dev mailing list.
The Wiretap library can now read compressed Sniffer files,
allowing Ethereal, Tethereal, and Editcap to do so too. You'll also find
a few minor but helpful GUI tweaks in this version of Ethereal.
Changes:
o fixes for incorrect error handling in UDP and TCP drivers.
o new man page for the configuration file.
o fixes for memory and file descriptor leaks.
This port needs configuration, but we counter IS_INTERACTIVE by bundling
the Configure script, since configuration can be altered after
installation.
We also let the user decide when he wants to alter that configuration,
since other modules may depend on it.
key changes from webpage:
- Many ospfd related bugs are fixed.
- Now OSPF module becomes very stable.
- BGP's route selection problem is fixed.
- "bgp always-compare-med" command is added.
- exec-timeout bug which cause crush is fixed.
- ip prefix-list default behavior is changed.
