Ethereal 0.9.9 has been released.

  Please note the next release will NOT be 1.0.  There are still more
  features to be added before a 1.0 release will be ready.
  

New and Updated Features

  Plugin search behavior was improved under Unix, allowing more than one
  version of Ethereal to be installed at one time.
  
  The statistics graphs have been enhanced.  More statistics have been
  added:
  
    Round-trip-time statistics are now computed for SMB traffic. 
    
    NCP Call and Reply times are now tracked.
    
    Top talker statistics for Ethernet, IP and Token Ring are now
    available (tethereal only).
  
  Color allocation and handling was improved.
  
  The RADIUS dissector can now decrypt user passwords.
  
  Tethereal now supports reading from a pipe under Unix.
  
  The ATM code received major improvements.
  
  The DOS Sniffer code also received major improvements.
  
  For those that compile Ethereal from source, some fixes and updates
  have been made to the configuration and build environment.
    

Bug Fixes

  The capture progress window now shows the correct number of elapsed
  minutes.
  
  A potential infinite loop in the TCP graphing code has been fixed.
