  Here's the latest news in the world of Ethereal development:

  Version 0.4.0 has been released.  The latest patches from Guy, Hannes,
and Laurent are all there.  I made the following changes:

  - The main window and capture dialog now have their own filters.
    Filter strings can be entered directly, or selected from the filter
    prefs window.  I tried to make things a little more convenient by
    making it so that you can apply a display filter by typing it in
    and pressing <Ctrl-R>, which activates the new "File/Reload" menu.

  - Several utility functions have been added and updated.  Along with
    Guy's fixes to pntoh[sl], I added match_strval() and modified
    simple_dialog() to take a printf-style argument list.  Match_strval()
    is a convenience function for checking a variable against a list of
    valid values.  An example can be found in packet-arp.c.

  - Some alignemt problems in packet-ospf.c were fixed.  I should probably
    apologize to Hannes in advance in case I broke something.  :)

  I also configured user directories on the web server.  Anyone
with an account on pow can drop files in ~public_html, and have
them accessible from http://ethereal.zing.org/~<username> or
http://ethereal.zing.org/devteam/<username>

  I no longer have mud in my basement.  This is a Very Good Thing.

  Whoops - I just realized that I forgot to update the pod page.
I'll make sure it's updated in the next version.
