New and updated features

The Windows installer now lets you choose between the traditional GTK+ version 1 interface and a new GTK+ 2 interface.

Several updates were made to Ethereal's user interface. The "File" menu now has a "most recently used" list. The help menu was greatly expanded.

The "matches" operator now handles more data types. For example, you can now use

      smtp matches joespammer@example.com

as a display filter.

I/O statistics now support 1ms resolution.
