[Etherape-users] Re: etherape, a network analyser for the people

[Juan T. <to...@us...>]

Well, I would have rather made an actual update than announcing that I am
going to do it, but now it is so close that I guess it doesn't matter...

I _will_ be retaking EtherApe development at least from March to June.
Nevertheless, my first priority will be to get rid of the memory leaks once
and for all, and I might have to dissect the programs to pieces and it might
take me some time to actually release the first updated version (some time
_after_ March)

After that, I've realized EtherApe is rather more a real time tool than a
logger/statistics gatherer. There are better programs for that. So I will
also be cutting internal code that was there to gather statistics and whose
data was never displayed anyway.

And then, I'll be taking suggestions from you people. :-) I guess proper
color handling is the top user visible feature, and then probably more name
resolving, on the fly mode change...

But don't get too excited yet. As I said, nothing will happen until March.

Regards,
Juan.
