Packetyzer 0.6.0 has been released. It can be downloaded from:

www.packetyzer.com

Packetyzer is a Windows front-end for Ethereal based on the packet
dissection in Ethereal.

Improvements in this release include:

 * Running multiple instances of Packetyzer will no longer cause errors
   about being unable to bind a socket.
 * Made Ethereal DLL reenterant. This means that captures can be made
   in multiple windows simultaneously and filters can be applied while
   running a capture.
 * Improved speed of redraw for trace display in TCP flow window.
 * Included plugins in the install.
 * Included diameter support files in the intall.
 * Reworked filtering semantics. Now capture filters and display filters are
   clearly separated.
 * Added progress bar for filtering and saving of captures. Still need
   progress bar for loading a file, and a means to cancel a long operation.
 * The startup time has been reduced from about 12 seconds to 3 seconds by
   initializing the filter expression window more intelligently.
 * Fixed drawing of protocol options dialog so that text boxes do not
overlap
   the scroll bar.
 * Fixed handling of enumerated protocol options. They will now save and
   restore correctly.
 * Added plugins window to show list of currently registered dissector
plugins.
 * Signal strength in the WLAN window will fade out over 15 seconds when a
   device is no longer being received. This should reduce flickering in the
display.
