I released 0.7.0 tonight. It should appear on freshmeat
and ethereal-announce soon.

Here's a list of the projects that I could remember
that we're thinking about:


Defragging fragmented packets and sending them
through the dissectors again (logical view of transmissions,
instead of "physical" packets)

Color support

Loadable dissector modules

Protocol description language

Supporting the new win32 libpcap

Printing of selected packets

GUI filter creator

Remove race-condition in creation of temporary pcap capture.

Wiretap to support capturing

And of course, new protocol dissectors are always welcome!


In the immediate future, I'm going to work on enhancing
the display filter and proto_tree code, and try to move all
the GTK code to a subdirectory, to make the top-level
source GUI-independent. I'd really like to see a curses
ethereal in the far-off future, and this is the first step.
