Hi Gianluca!

Thanks for the info and all the WinPcap teams effort in bringing WinPcap 
to such a valuable and useful point!

I love to see this release happen, as the current situation recommending 
the WinPcap 3.1 beta 4 release to our users wasn't really satisfactory.

I'm going to include this 3.1 release installer into the Ethereal 
Windows installer as soon as possible, probably already this weekend.

So it will be included in the next Ethereal release as soon as it may come.

BTW: May I suggest a slightly faster release cycle (you're not competing 
with debian don't you?) ;-)

I know that there were some substantial changes in the WinPcap team so I 
really understand the cause.

Again, thank you and the whole WinPcap team, making Ethereal (and many 
other programs) possible on the Windows platform.

Regards, ULFL
