[04:45] Ethereal is now WireShark
It seems that everyones favourite network protocol analyser Ethereal is now known as WireShark. It's allegedly not a fork because the entire dev team is following the project lead and creator (Gerald Combs) to his new job. It's all explained in the WireShark FAQ, in this Ethereal mailing list post and on the WinPcap news page.
I'm finding it a little odd that this is addressed as "...almost (but not quite) a fork..." on the FAQ and nowhere is there any mention of Ethereal ceasing development!? I wonder if it will actually fork and what that will mean. Hopefully it means that we get two really free open-source good programs instead of one!
