Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] [Wireshark-users] [ANNOUNCE] WinPcap 4.0 has been released
Whoah there! :) I just copied WinPcap 4.0 into the 0.99.5 trunk, and
plan on releasing 0.99.5pre2 later today. I'll send a message when it's
ready.
I'm hoping to have 0.99.5 final out on Thursday or Friday.
