Ethereal 0.9.7 has been released.

New Features

  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.

  The Ethernet "manuf" file now handles addresses specified with a
  mask, and  contains many well-known addresses.

  802.1s MSTP, FIX, GSS-API, Interbase, NDPS, Netflow (Cisco and
  Juniper),
  SCCP-Management, SPNEGO

Ethereal 0.9.6 has been released.

Bugs Fixed

  A buffer overflow in the ISIS dissector has been fixed.  More
  information can be found at
  http://www.ethereal.com/appnotes/enpa-sa-00006.html.

  A bad TCP header could cause problems for the "Follow TCP Stream"
  feature.

  Setting "column.format" from the command line no longer crashes
  Ethereal and Tethereal.

  Problems with capture files being overwritten (e.g. if you try to
  save over
  the current capture file) have been fixed.

  An SMB conversation handling bug has been fixed.

  Thanks to Valgrind, several memory leaks have been fixed.

  Some problems with printing under Windows have been fixed.


New Features

  TCP sequence number analysis has been added.

  The DCE RPC NETLOGON dissector has received a major overhaul.

  Data types throughout the code have been cleaned up.
