Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.9.7 (Saturday Sep 30 2006):
Bugfix release. Special thanks to Pav Lucistnik for providing patches and bug reports.
Changes summary:
- Fixed bug 1496607, thread termination failure (Bug report by Pav Lucistnik).
- Fixed bug 1496621, crash after pausing (Fix by Pav Lucistnik).
- Fixed bug 1496614, crash in initialize_ethers() (Fix by Pav Lucistnik).
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.9.6 (Tuesday May 16 2006):
Some distributions had trouble linking correctly EtherApe. This release should fix that.
Changes summary:
- On newer distros (like FC5) the linker was called without --export-dynamic, making EtherApe unusable.
- Fixed bug 1488215, "cancel" button on preferences dialog doesn't work.
- Updated .desktop and .spec files
- Updated debian files. Thanks to F.Peters (debian maintainer).
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.9.5 (Saturday May 06 2006):
After the recent changes the manual was really obsolete.
This
release features a completely rewritten one, properly integrated with
the Gnome help browser. You'll find EtherApe under Applications -
System tools.
Changes summary:
- Manual completely rewritten with docbook-XML. Now registers
with scrollkeeper.
- Thanks to Jeffrey G. Gomberg, who had the patience to test and
identify problems, this release features improved OSX support.
- Thanks to Ben Allen, added a new opzion, 'zero-delay' (-z) to
play captured files without accounting for timestamp. Usually
EtherApe uses the timestamp to playback packets as they came in when
recording. This option essentially disables this, making as if all
packets came in at once.
As Ben said 'It provides a QUICK way to generate a graph of all of the
conversations in a capture file, without having to wait the length of
the capture. This is helpful for visualizing data from long (hours to
days) captures'.
- Fixed a bug preventing conversations to expire properly.
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.9.4 (Saturday Jan 14 2006):
This release comes after a first round of extensive
refactoring, needed to clean up some of the cruft accumulated during
the years and make further developments easier. While still a work in
progress, memory control is tighter and protocol dissectors more
robust.
EtherApe calculates an extensive set of traffic statistics,
even if only a small part is always visible on the diagram.
For example, every node and link maintains complete data for
every protocol seen, but only the most active one is displayed.
Thus, the detail dialogs now show also traffic breakdown by
protocol.
Changes summary:
- New feature: link info dialog. Double-clicking on a link
shows traffic and protocol
statistics.
- New feature: improved node info dialog now displays both
traffic and protocol statistics.
- New feature: protocol aging. Now protocols, like nodes and
links, can expire and be purged automatically.
- Heavy refactoring to make sources easier to understand and
maintain.
- Small performance enhancements due to refactoring.
- Better memory handling due to refactoring.
- Unified handling of traffic statistics.
- Rewritten interface listing. Now uses directly
pcap_findalldevs to list interfaces available for capturing. The
interface submenu now list also the "any" device, if present. The older
method is deprecated (at the moment it can be enabled with a #define)
and will be removed in a future release. If someone needs it, please
file a feature request.
- Tidied up preferences dialog, removing unneeded entries.
- Rewritten and improved node/link timeout handling.
- Fixes bug 1362426 (i8n issues). Thanks to Daniel Nylander
for hunting down that and providing a detailed example.
- Fixes bug 1385105 (crash with double free). Thanks to
goga_russian for the segnalation.
- Fixes bug 1372245 (crashes when node goes too big). Thanks
to goga_russing for the segnalation.
- Fixes bug 1396236 ("force numeric" and "dns resolution"
checkboxes not working).
- Fixes bug 1268291 (OSX net/if.h). Thanks to Eric Stewart
for the patch.
- Legend labels now align to left.
- Fixed a bug when closing the preferences dialog.
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.9.3 (Thursday 8-18-2005):
- Fixes bug 1083524 (deletion of all user colors)
- Fixes bug 1024944 (compilation on OSX). Thanks to
Lars Eggert for the patch.
- Fixes a bug with the legend handling (beware: on later
gnomes the legend could behave strangely if you use a binary package
built for an older gnome release)

:-)
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.5.6 (Thursday 05-4-2000):
- Fixed a stupid but serious bug introduced in 0.5.3 which
caused the capture to stop for no good reason. This happened because I
was away from home and I was developing using only capture files with
no access to any live network. I'm sorry it took me this long to solve
the problem... :-(
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.5.5 (Saturday 04-22-2000):
- New Stack Level setting: "Topmost Recognized Protocol".
This is probably what you want to have as default. If you have used any
previous version of EtherApe and have saved your settings, you will
probably want to change it.
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.5.4 (Saturday 04-22-2000):
- TCP and UDP protocols are read from a configuration file:
services. I could use some help in trying to determine what's missing
and what should not be in in the deafault services file. Unified diffs
accepted. :-)
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.5.3 (Friday 04-21-2000):
- Added start and stop buttons. The toolbar is back, since it
is now useful. :-)
- General menu cleanup
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.5.2 (Thursday 04-20-2000):

Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.5.0 (Saturday 04-15-2000):
- Fixed PPP and SLIP modes not showing any protocols nor
names
- Moved code to libglade. This means:
- You will need libglade to compile and run EtherApe
- No more GTK warnings
- The view menu is fixed. Check buttons work as expected
- You can change the interface by editing EtherApe.glade
with glade without having to recompile
- All kinds of benefits for the developer. Now I can go
back at dealing with the GUI
- These are major changes. Please report any problems (see
README.bugs)
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.4.7 (Friday 04-14-2000):
- Fixed segfault when applying preferences changes and a
filter had been set up in the command line
- (Bill Barth) New, improved static mode
- Debug messages depend on the DEBUG environment variable.
You can set it to DEBUG or INFO if you want to see them again. Added -q
option too, to get rid of WARNINGS as well
- Refresh period is finally working the intended way (I
hope). Should free up CPU in many cases
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.4.6 (Monday 04-10-2000):

of following nodes around can have a rest. :-)
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.4.4 (Sunday 04-09-2000):
- Nodes keep track of all names by which they are referenced.
Right now only the most used one is displayed
- This breaks /etc/ethers usage for IP nodes. You'll see your
router change names a lot in ethernet mode. :-) I'll try to solve this
tonight.
- I changed quite a lot of things. Please test it and tell me
any problems you find so that I can fix them
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.4.3 (Tuesday 04-04-2000):
- Recognizes IP fragmentation. Should make up for unexpected
protocols in your network
- Node colors are those of its most common protocol. This is
a bonus on my way of handling several names per node.
- Fixed a bug by which actually the least
common protocol had its color shown. Come on, guys... How come nobody
reported this one? :-)
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.4.2 (Tuesday 04-04-2000):

than it can hold.
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.3.6 (Friday 03-24-2000):
- Recognizes level 5 UDP protocols.
- Default stack level is now 5
- Can anybody please send me the most complete /etc/services
in Earth? Mine in debian is quite complete, but it's missing things
like ICQ.
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.3.5 (Thursday 03-23-2000):
- Sorry. I forgot to include the new files in the
distribution. :-(
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.3.4 (Thursday 03-23-2000):

Now I should be able to add more protocol decoding easyly.
- I think I have squashed the growing legend bug. Please
report.

time to talk to this guy)
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.2.1 (Monday 03-06-2000):
- Added tcp mode. Run with etherape -m tcp
- Added fix from Ted Wright to provide a more readable
display in crowded diagrams. Run with -o. Very useful for tcp.
- Cleaned up sources so that adding other modes should be
trivial. Please have a look at the source.

Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.1.4 (Sunday 02-27-2000):
- Now parses command line arguments:
etherape options
-n, --numeric don't convert addresses to names
-r, --with-dns-resolving use IP name resolving. Caution! Long timeouts!
-d, --diagram-only don't display any node text identification
- The resolver is turned off by default since it can
potentially freeze your display for too long
- digram-only makes for a clearer display. It's intended to
be practical whenever I have per-node pop-up windows ready.
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.1.3 (Saturday 02-26-2000):
- Links with no traffic disappear with time. Makes diagram
more readable.

- Oops! Was confusing ether dst and src addresses. Solved.
- Web page now has a much more interesting screenshot thanks
to Nico Lumma
- Buttons are in English now.
- (This file I had to get out from download because it had
the dangerous DNS behaviour by default. You see? That's what happens
when you are rushed by deadlines! :-) )
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.1.2 (Saturday 02-26-2000):
- James Wallace provided code to automatically detect proper
network interface. It now compiles in NetBSD.

- Diagram resizes with window
- Basic functionality is all there now, and calls for a minor
version upgrade. :-)
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.0.8 (Thursday 02-24-2000):
- Correctly (I hope) calculates average traffic intensity for
nodes and links. The proper constant multiplier should be user defined.
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.0.7 (Thursday 02-24-2000):
- First version showing links among nodes
- Aborts gracefully if run by non-root.
- http://etherape.sourceforge.net has a screenshot.
- Expect proper node size and link width calculation in 0.0.8
Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.0.6 (Wednesday 02-23-2000):
- Copied proper libpcap autoconfigure detection function from
