New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated) since the last release:
The new command line tool dumpcap makes it possible to capture network data without the drawbacks of (t)ethereal (memory usage, security problems, ...) while keeping the benefit of advanced techniques like multiple (ringbuffer) files and alike.
The man page of dumpcap in HTML format is available at
http://www.ethereal.com/docs/man-pages/dumpcap.1.html.
The source distribution of Ethereal now supports SSL, IPsec ESP, and ISAKMP decryption. (This feature has not yet been enabled in the Windows installer.)
Win32: Catch hardware exceptions caused by buggy dissectors. If e.g. a NULL pointer exceptions occurs, Ethereal won't crash now but displays the exception and tries to continue decoding packets.
The Windows version of Ethereal now uses native open and save file dialogs.
In related news, Ethereal now runs as a full-fledged Unicode application under Windows.
Recent versions of Ethereal were flagging packets with an incorrect TCP checksum as malformed. False positives were being triggered on systems that use TCP checksum offloading. We now check to see if the checksum is not 0x0000 before flagging the packet as malformed.
