Overview of changes in Etherape 0.2.0 (Friday 03-03-2000):

• RedHat 6.1 fix. Works around "featureful" redhat 6.1 libpcap.
• Fixed node-in-the-center bug.
• Timeout=0 means never timeout.

Overview of changes in Etherape 0.1.9 (Thursday 03-02-2000):

• Finally I'm properly calculating average traffic. (yeah, right :-)
• Node and link timeout work as expected as well.
• Should now compile cleanly in Solaris.
• Interape is a hardlinked to etherape. Runs as interape when called with that name.
• Minor changes to the naming algorithm.

Overview of changes in Etherape 0.1.8 (Wednesday 03-01-2000):

• First version of interape. Run as etherape -I. I guess I'll have to change the name to netape now. :-)
• Added node and link timeouts controls.

Overview of changes in Etherape 0.1.7 (Tuesday 02-29-2000):

• Pcap filtering added. Now you can use tcpdump style filtering (enclosed in quotes) with the -f option.
• Added libm to autoconf.in for systems with a separate math lib.
• First try at Debian packaging.

Overview of changes in Etherape 0.1.6 (Monday 02-28-2000):

• Refresh period spin, averaging time spin, and link width sliders now work. Time to get better than Quake frame rates! :-)
• Node, link and text colours can be set from the command line.
• The rest of the GUI is active, so that it can answer itself people's favourite question. :-) (Well, Control-Q does actually work!)
• Automated release process so that I can keep bombarding you with releases.

Overview of changes in Etherape 0.1.5 (Sunday 02-27-2000):

• More for readability: Click on a node and a pop-up window appears with all node data.
• You can change the network interface to listen to in the command line.
• Fixed a bug in the dotted quad ip number display
• Compiles without warnings
• Updated README

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.
• IP host name displayed if no ether name available
• 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.
• IP number displayed if no /etc/ethers is available. IP host name will be there in the Saturday Night edition. :-)

Overview of changes in Etherape 0.1.1 (Friday 02-25-2000):

• First look at GUI side of things
• Now you can dynamically reset the node radius using a slider
• First users reports! Thanks R., Don!
• First improvements due to user feedback:
  • Solved configuration problem for some people
  • Improved web page and README: reference to /etc/ethers

Overview of changes in Etherape 0.1.0 (Friday 02-25-2000):

• 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 ethereal
• Added Ethernet address resolution functions from ethereal
