0.46.5:- CPA_sniffD: fixed "could not find any interfaces" bug (happend on some systems).

- Analyzer: fixed a bug with checksumming dns-names.
0.46:- no more CPA_sniffD zombies.
- linktype: human readable string instead of number.
- prefs: option not to compute checksums (cause of TCP checksum offload options on new gigabit adapters).
- now using pcap_findalldev() to figure out all active and usable interfaces for capturing. see new "scan"-button in capture prefs (you may need to authorize as an administrator).
- support for capturing from tun/tap devices (your driver must support this - not all do).
- support for loopback traffic.
- fixed an error with temp-file capturing (if authentication failed it reverted back to direct-file capturing).
- fixed some memory leaks.
0.45:- fixed a crash-bug with special chars in filename.
- changed default behavior not to open a new file, please select "Capture" from the menu or toolbar.
- capturing: capturing to a temporary file now, opening it as a new untitled document (to capture directly to a file please see the new option in "capture prefs"). Needs special testing - please report bugs and care for your files!
- fixed a possible dataloss bug while capturing to temp file.
- added checksum verification for TCP/IP headers.
- added "packet stepper".
- added TCP-options.
- optimized ICMP and IGMP-protocols, should be RFC conform now (need some example packet traces for better testing - someone?).
- fixed some byteorder issues.
- fixed some memory leaks.
- prepared localization (added tons of NSLocalizedStrings).
- optimized port-based-analysis (first looking for the destination port).
- LCP: displaying identification message string instead of hexvalue.
- CHAP/ PAP: fixed values.
- fixed potential ASCII-String crashes.
0.44:- optimized core: should be faster and use less memory (maybe there are all kinds of bugs now, please report them!).
- first implementation of analyzer plugins for application layer payload.
- fixed "jump to packet": now also scrolling to the selected packet (forgot about it a long time ago, sorry).
- 10.5: some little GUI changes; views should react on "Type Select" now.

0.43.1:- fixed a checksum error on 10.4.x.
0.43:- added unknown ethertypes hex values.
- fixed NSTableView datasource warnings.

- added Ethertype_PPP.
- optimized default preferences.
- IP-header: added fragement flags, DS/ECN-fields, IP-options, Header length.
- fixed a bug with IPCP Option Compression (VJ compression data).
