I am pleased to announce the availability of Ethereal 0.7.0. This version
has some exciting new features that you'll enjoy.
Ethereal can now analyze RADIUS, RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol),
SDP (Session Description Protocol), LAPB, X.25, and Classical IP
over ATM (Linux) packets.
SMB support has been enhanced.
Ethereal can now be compiled on Win32 platforms with MSVC. The Win32
version cannot capture packets, but we're working on it.
A new printing option allows you to print all packets at once.
Wiretap is no longer optional. Ethereal uses wiretap to read a wide
variety of capture file formats. Newly added to wiretap's inventory of
file formats is RADCOM's WAN/LAN Analyzer.
Ethereal now has a built-in display filter engine. We used to use the
pcap library for display filters, but a built-in engine gives us more
power by being able to filter on many more fields that what pcap provides.
Additionally, these display filters can be applied to all the file formats
that wiretap supports. The new display filter language is incompatible
with pcap's filter language, which we still use for capturing. Thus,
for the time being, Ethereal's capture filter language is different from
its display filter language. This is a minor inconvenience compared to
the capabilities of the new display filter language.
The new display filter language is documented in the Ethereal manpage.
Ethereal now relies on GTK+-1.2. Previous versions no longer work
with Ethereal.
