+
+Ethereal 0.10.14 has been released.
+
+ Bug Fixes
+
+ Three security vulnerabilities have been fixed since the previous
+ release. See the [1]application advisory for more details.
+
+ o The IRC dissector could go into an infinite loop. Versions
+ affected: 0.10.13.
+
+ o The GTP dissector could go into an infinite loop. Versions
+ affected: 0.9.1 to 0.10.13.
+
+ o iDefense found a buffer overflow in the OSPF dissector.
+ Versions affected: 0.8.20 to 0.10.13.
+
+ New and Updated Features
+
+ The following features are new (or have been significantly
+ updated) since the last release:
+
+ o The Windows installer now ships with GTK+ 2.6 instead of GTK+
+ 2.4. This should fix several long-standing bugs.
+
+ o If you're loading a saved capture file and press "Cancel",
+ Ethereal will now display the packets read up to that point.
+ In previous versions, Ethereal would abort the attempt
+ completely and clear the packet list.
+
+ This means that if you're loding a huge capture file, you can
+ stop loading in the middle and still be able to analyze part
+ of the file.
+
+ o The maximum number of files allowed in a ring buffer has been
+ increased from 1024 to 10,000.
+
+ o OID to name resolution has been improved.
+
+ o TCP graphs now handle upper and lower bounds better.

+Getting Ethereal
+
+ Microsoft Windows
+
+ Download ethereal-setup-0.10.14.exe from the [2]Windows download
+ area on the main web site. Double-click the installer executable.
+
+ Sun Solaris
+
+ Download the appropriate package from the [3]Solaris download area
+ on the main web site. Uncompress the package using bzip2, and
+ install it using pkgadd.
+
+ Source Code
+
+ Download ethereal-0.10.14.tar.gz from the [4]main download area on
+ the web site. Extract the package using tar and gzip. Run
+ "configure ; make ; make install".
+
+ Vendor-supplied Packages
+
+ Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Ethereal packages.
+ You can install or upgrade Ethereal using the package management
+ system specific to that platform. A list of third-party packages
+ can be found on the [5]download page on the Ethereal web site.
+
+File Locations
+
+ Ethereal and Tethereal look in several different locations for
+ preference files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries.
+ These locations vary from platform to platform. You can use
+ About->Folders to find the default locations on your system.
+
+Known Problems
+
+ On Windows systems the packet list scroll bar can sometimes
+ disappear or become unusable. Until the problem is fixed you can
+ work around it by resizing the packet list or the main window.
