Ethereal 0.9.4 has been released.  This version fixes potential security
problems revealed since the release of 0.9.3.  See the security advisory
at http://www.ethereal.com/appnotes/enpa-sa-00004.html for more details.

This release includes a brand new NetWare Core Protocol dissector.  Thanks
go to Novell for donating the time of one of their engineers to make this
happen.

A lot of code cleanup work was done in this release.  In particular, many
unused variables and code were removed.

  capture dialog.
