------------- change from 0.9.1 -------------------------
    Ethereal 0.9.3 has been released. This version fixes problems revealed by
the PROTOS test suite that were uncovered after the 0.9.2 release. This release
addresses all of the security advisories listed on the Ethereal web site.

    All users are encouraged to upgrade.

    Error checking while reading various trace files was enhanced. Other
improvements were made to the VMS TCPIPTRACE and libpcap/tcpdump file reading
code. The pkt-from-core.py utility also received improvements.

    Support for SCCP XDMCP has been added. Updated protocols include 802.11,

    Ethereal 0.9.2 has been released. This version fixes problems in the SNMP

for CRC32C was updated to match the new (version 3) draft specification.
Additionally, the layout of the capture dialog was vastly improved.

    NCP type 0x2222 packet type support was added to the randpkt utility, and a
script to recreate packets from core dumps (pkt-from-core.py) was added to the
source distribution.

    SNA over Ethernet and HiPath HDLC support was added. Dissectors receiving
updates include 802.11w, 802.11, AARP, AFS, ARP, COPS, DCE RPC, EAP/EAPOL, GIOP,
