Ethereal uses the zlib compression library. Security vulnerabilities
have been discovered in zlib 1.2.1 and 1.2.2. The Windows installer
now ships with zlib 1.2.3, which fixes these vulnerabilities.


Please see the following advisory for more information:

http://www.ethereal.com/appnotes/enpa-sa-00020.html

Everyone is encouraged to upgrade.


New and updated features

The Windows installer now includes the WinPcap 3.1 beta 4 installer.
You don't have to download and install it separately.

RADIUS dictionaries are now included.

A lot of documentation was updated

Some command line parameters have changed, see the Ethereal / Tethereal
manual pages

A "File/File Set" submenu was added to better handle multiple files
(such as ring buffers).

Flow graphs can now be created for any protocol.

Memory management has been greatly improved.

JXTA has been added to the conversations menu.

When compiled with MIT/Heimdal Kerberos AND if keytab files are
provided, Ethereal can now decrypt and dissect both SecureLDAP and
encrypted DCE/RPC.

TCP Sequence graphs should now work for all captures and all
encapsulation types.
