Ethereal 0.8.9 is available. The dissectors for RTP, IP, ISAKMP, ICMP, SMB, SMB-PIPE, VTP, SNMPv3, Ethernet, GRE, EIGRP, DHCP, IPX, X.25, RSVP, and L2TP have been updated, fixed, or otherwise modified. Ethereal has new dissectors for Mobile IP and COPS. Internally, the dissector API has changed in order to catch more errors at compile time and to guard against segfaulting when dissecting short packets. The Ethereal team has to convert all the existing dissectors to make use of the new API; that is a work in progress. The Wiretap library can now read the compressed Sniffer file format, allowing Ethereal, Tethereal, and Editcap to do so too. You'll also find a few minor but helpful GUI tweaks in this version of Ethereal.
