Added new feature to save Ksniffer's window location and size, so when its started again, it will have the same dimensions and location on desktop. Can turn this on and off in the options dialog.
Fixed a cosmetic bug with the filter dialog. If port stats were runnig, and user opened and saved changes to port filter dialog, the listview for the reset port stats wasn't drawn correctly.
Added the ability to graph bandwidth usage as a function of average b/w received.
Added graphing options to the options dialog. The user can now select various options for graphing, including color, interval time, and also pick a specific port to graph
Added a new statusBar to show more info for Graph Display. It now shows peak network usage meter, as well as current byte counts for total and port specific data seen.

Changes: 0.1.5

completely re-wrote the options dialog for more options for output of the stats.
Added new activity monitor for each individual port! Now you can tell how much bandwidth your http traffic is consuming!
fixed a potential memory leak/crash bug with restarting an already running stats display. (ie. if general stats are running and user selects general stats to run again).
Fixed a bug with the general stats activity display. Moved it into its own timer routine, like detailed stats. It should be a lot more useful/accurate now.
Fixed a bug dealing with the main window. After the user selected which stats to display, the listview wouldn't fill the entire window and it looked bad.
Added new icons for the toolbar. The old ones just sucked. I nabbed the "new" ones from the kde 1.1 install's mini-icons :) Anyone have better ones to use?

You can now add filters for specific ports above 1024 you want to watch for.
Got the options saving to disk and read-back when app is restarted.
Fixed a problem in the source distribution that kept people from doing a make if their qt-devel wasn't in /usr/lib/qt/include. (deleted .deps dir).
Added Documentation pages for the Help Menu

Known Issues:

Some windows don't get redrawn properly if resized.
still no logging support.

Views general interface stats This view shows all known network interfaces and collect stats. It shows: Total # of Packets seen on the particular interface
Total # of IP packets seen Total # of NonIP packets seen Total # of Bad packets (CRC errors) Activity (bytes or bits/sec) example

Iface   Total   IP      NonIP   BadIP   Activity
eth0    1651    1641    10      0       120.0 kbits/sec
l0      198     198     0       0         0.0 kbits/sec

Shows detailed stats for a particular interface This option shows protocol specific statistics such as, IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, ARP, IPX, etc. It displays the # of packets, # of total bytes received for each protocol.
example

eth0            Packets         Bytes           Activity
total           821             280825          1435.62 kbits/sec
IP              817             267215           213.24 pkts/sec
TCP             753             261759
