Several new features have been added, including TCP graphs and ring buffer
captures. The SMB dissector was completely rewritten and many enhancements
were made to the user interface. The text2pcap utility can now handle a
broader range of input data formats. The developer documentation also
received many updates. Bug fixes include a workaround for an SNMP bug
present several Linux distributions.
Many dissectors were enhanced. Support for the following protocols was
added:
EAPOL
M2TP
MS RPC
MTP2
PCNFSD
PPP/EAPOL
QLLC
SMPP
SUA
Support for DBS Etherwatch, Visual Networks Visual UpTime, and VMS
TCPIPtrace capture files was added. Ascend/Lucent debug Etherpeek,
iptrace and MS Netmon capture file support was enhanced.
* Format string bug fixed in protocol.c
smtp, pop3 and nntp in client mode were affected.
(stunnel clients could be attacked by malicious servers)
* Certificate chain can be supplied with -p option or in stunnel.pem.
* Problem with -r and -l options used together fixed.
* memmove() instead of memcpy() is used to move data in buffers.
* More detailed information about negotiated ciphers is printed.
* New ./configure options: "--enable-no-rsa" and "--enable-dh".
Take maintainership, ok angelos
- Fix uvm kernel detection on ELF archs, enable lsof on them. Replaced
check with a better one. Understand how nlist() works.
Hironori Sakamoto found some vulnerabilities in w3m support scripts,
such as multipart.cgi, w3mman2html.cgi and w3mhelp.cgi. Attacker
could run arbitrary commands on user's machine with user's privilege
by using malicious html pages.

- The port has switched back to using native threads. Only tested and known to work on i386. For everything else the port is currently marked BROKEN until the appropriate architectures are tested. Do not even try this if you're not running -current libc_r.
- As suggested by Marc Espie, make symlink for the MySQL client library in lib/ to eliminate the need for adding lib/mysql to the shlib dir path. Porters have to be careful and ensure autoconf scripts do not arbitrarily enable MySQL support after this change.
