I think this has been discussed before, but I'd be curious to hear what
different people's wish lists for 1.0 are now.

Here's a more complete version of mine, in no particular order:

   Scripting support - The ability to pass packet information
   to a scripting language for further processing.
I'd also like to see the ethereal backend separable from the various frontends ( tethereal, ethereal, etc). I suspect such a clean seperation would simplify being able to do
script bindings.

   Custom packet list widget - This would allow us to reconfigure
   columns on the fly, and possibly improve memory management.

   Custom byte/data view widget - I'd like to improve the selection
   behavior at the very least.

   Native Windows UI

   Native MacOS X UI

   Unified filter syntax

   Asynchronous DNS lookups

   Separate capture and display processes - Something similar to
   OpenSSH's privilege separation.  Not sure if this is possible or
   worthwhile under Windows.
