(...given that the change from Ethereal to Wireshark was just a name change - it's the same software, with the same development team, just with a different name. The changes to the software between the first release that had the name Wireshark, and Wireshark 1.2.x, are probably at least as great as, if not greater than, the changes to the software between the last release made with the name Ethereal and the first release made with the name Wireshark.)
