a framework for the dissector; of the more than 400 NCP packet types, only
a handful are defined. But this dissector framework is much better than
the previous one.

editcap.
Expand the list of OSes on which Ethereal has (at least at one time)
been built and used.
Note that systems other than Solaris that use DLPI (e.g., HP-UX) may
also have "/dev" entries that can be made more widely readable and
writable to allow non-root users to capture packets.
Note that we can read "i4btrace" capture files.
Note that we now always do SNMP dissection, and that an external library
just allows us to do more sophisticated dissection.

"gzgets()" is the one most recently added; it was added in 1.0.9.
Check for it, rather than for a list of functions, when checking for
"zlib" support - if you check for N functions, and they're all there,
you get N "-lz"s added to the list of libraries with which to link.
Indicate in the README that "zlib" versions prior to 1.0.9 definitely
won't work.

line of ISDN routers. Much like the ascend reader, this module reads an
ASCII hex dump of trace data.
Rearranged the order in which wiretap tries trace files, to keep the
ASCII-readers (ascend and toshiba) at the end, and put the binary-readers
(everything else) at the front of the list. If a telnet session of
and ascend trace or toshiba trace were captured near the beginning of
another trace, wiretap might think the trace was ascend or toshiba if it
tried that module first.
Fixed the way wtap_seek_read() selects functions to call. It was using
the encap type instead of the file type. We got lucky because
WTAP_ENCAP_ASCEND == WTAP_FILE_ASCEND

improving size of grammar and creating the possibility of dfilter_compile
reporting errors back to user. In this case, if an ETHER variable is
compared against a byte string that is not 6 bytes, an error condition is
flagged appropriately. I have not put in the code to conver that error flag
to a message to the user, but that's what I'm working on next.
Also, fixed sample debug session in README to show correct gdb prompt.

expecting it as normal. Added paragraph about iptrace oddities to README.
I also added a section to the README about how to report bugs.

doesn't link with libpcap, so no packet captures can be made. The
"--disable-pcap" option has been added to the configure script. Docs
have been updated. And the string buffer size in the simple_dialog()
has been doubled so that Johan's e-mail address in the "About" dialogue
window doesn't get chopped off.

file formats. Libpcap is used only for capturing.

that you need "flex" and either "bison" or Berkeley "yacc". (XXX -
should notes such as this go in some other file, e.g. INSTALL? I
discovered the "flex" and "bison"/byacc requirement on a Solaris 7
system, but it's probably a problem on other commercial UNIXes, as well,
so it probably doesn't belong in, say, "README.solaris".)

either the UCD or CMU SNMP library. Also documented the fact that SNMP
support in ethereal can be disabled with the "--disable-snmp" option to
'configure'.

proto*() functions. The configure script tries to use ipv6 name resolution if
it knows the type of ipv6 stack the user has (this can be avoided with the
--disable-ipv6 switch) Additionally, the configure script now deals with wiretap
better. If the user doesn't want to compile wiretap, the wiretap is never
visited. A few unnecessary #includes were removed from some wiretap files, and
a CPP macro was moved from bpf.c to wtap.h.

wiretap functions to be more generic and therefore allow an easier integration
of more packet-capture file types. I also put in all the GPL copyrights in the
wiretap code.
