March 17, 2005 - Version 2.00.0030

Enabled loading and saving filter definitions to disk files (plus command line option to load filters at startup). Added ability to set some filters to TO, FROM, or TO/FROM. Added TCP Header filter ability.


February 25, 2005 - Version 2.00.0029

Fixed issue when no LAN interfaces were available but a serial interface was being used for capture. Fixed overflow bug in DNS packet processing. Fixed bug when external protocol decoder was being loaded on a release build. Fixed problem with filtering (escaped) serial interfaces.


January 28, 2005 - Version 2.00.0028

Fixed bug with filters on PPP packets. Added ' I ' command to display VPN endpoint information for packets on virtual interfaces. Restricted the /reserve option to not allow a number greater than the current available memory. Added decode for NETBIOS name service and some additional SMB support.


January 10, 2005 - Version 2.00.0027

Made timestamps more accurate when using system clock (versus TimeStamper). Fixed bug that prevented the demo from running on certain systems/OSes.


October 6, 2004 - Version 2.00.0026

Fixed bug when not using reserved memory.


August 25, 2004 - Version 2.00.0023

Added large packet (jumbo) support and basic support for external protocol decoders (via a .DLL). Also added the "connection filter" capability where you select a packet that is part of a TCP, UDP, or IP connection you want to watch, then press 'C' to create a temporary display filter showing just packets from that connection.


July 13, 2004 - Version 2.00.0022

Fixed old bug from PCANDIS that found it's way into PCAMPR. The bug caused packets to contain bad data after the lookahead buffer on some adapters. Fixed typo in NETBIOS decoder. Fixed bug in code to determine if a buffer contains displayable text (versus arbitrary data). Fixed serial capture (again).


June 15, 2004 - Version 2.00.0021

Fixed PVSERIAL to work with newer TAPI devices. Added support for OID symbols. Added a bunch of enterprise names to OID list. Added radix support (toggled with the 'X' key).


May 24, 2004 - Version 2.00.0020

Fixed support for some forms of embedded modems.


April 23, 2004 - Version 2.00.0019

Added flag indicators to TCP line mode display. Fixed fragment flag decode in display mode. Allow time and media info display to be toggled in line mode.


March 25, 2004 - Version 2.00.0018

Fixed NTP decode. Fixed UBICOM UDAP and UCP decodes. Turned off MAC layer display as default (this make line mode a little more usable).


March 18, 2004 - Version 2.00.0017

Added "/RESERVE=nn" option to tell the OS to increase the process working set size to at least "nn" MB of memory. This will also set the process priority class to HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS.


March 2, 2004 - Version 2.00.0016

Modified buffer management to use malloc()/free() rather then HeapXxx() functions due to memory creep with the HeapXxx() functions. Fixed bug when printing in line mode. Enhanced UBICOM protocol decoder.


January 26, 2004 - Version 2.00.0015

Added "/BUFFERSIZE=nn" command line option to allow user to set low-level capture buffer size (between 2K and 2048K). Changed default low-level capture buffer size to 512K.


December 4, 2003 - Version 2.00.0014

Added RTP decoder (for ports 5004 and 65154). Also put in possible fix for crash seen when using F4 to reset the capture buffer while under heavy load.


November 20, 2003 - Version 2.00.0013

Fixed GRE analyzer to ensure generated packets are reasonably sequenced. Added (preliminary) support for SerialView cable. Extended "Interface Filter" to 256 interfaces. Fixed some minor bugs in analysis of PPP packets.


November 12, 2003 - Version 2.00.0012

Added decoders for MIP (Mobile IP) and RADIUS packets.


November 5, 2003 - Version 2.00.0011

Added support for USB dongle. Added some decode of TELNET escape sequences.


September 26, 2003 - Version 2.00.0010

Fixed bug in copying generated packets (trying to copy too much). Also fixed decode of SACK options in TCP packets.


September 19, 2003 - Version 2.00.0009

Added code to enforce cleaner shutdown of capture threads to prevent system lock up.


August 1, 2003 - Version 2.00.0008

Fixed problem with loading REC_START_TIME data from PVD files. Started working towards an event driven system rather then just a packet driven system.


June 3, 2003 - Version 2.00.0007

Started adding statistics. Made all PlaySound()s asynchronous.


May 27, 2003 - Version 2.00.0006

Fix install issue.


May 26, 2003 - Version 2.00.0005

Added support for "Multi-Packet Read". This should eliminate the chance of losing packets under reasonable conditions.

Fixed minor bug in UDP decode (if UDP header it too short).

Added "/NOANALYSIS" command line option. This permits you to load a packet file without PacketView Pro doing it's normal analysis on the file.


May 15, 2003 - Version 2.00.0004

Added "expert" mode (defaults to off). Use the command line option "/expert" to enable expert mode, or "/novice" to force novice mode.

When in "novice" mode, any action that needs to clear the packet buffer will cause a "Clear packet buffer? (Y/N)" prompt and the default system exclamation sound is played. If you decline, the current operation is aborted.

Moved "Continuous Capture to Disk" from F9 ("SAVE TO DISK") on packet screen to "F6 - Continuous Capture to Disk" on the "Main Menu".
