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.

New and Updated Features

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:

• Round-trip-time statistics are now computed for SMB traffic.

• NCP Call and Reply times are now tracked.

• Top talker statistics for Ethernet, IP and Token Ring are now available (tethereal only).

Color allocation and handling was improved.

The RADIUS dissector can now decrypt user passwords.

Tethereal now supports reading from a pipe under Unix.

The ATM code received major improvements.

The DOS Sniffer code also received major improvements.

For those that compile Ethereal from source, some fixes and updates have been made to the configuration and build environment.
