Log Message:
New Features:
* Replaced IO subsystem with wandio abstraction
* IO / compression / decompression is now performed in a separate thread, 
resulting in improved performance
* Modular design makes it easy to add support for new compression formats
* Added native support for reading and writing bzip files
* Added native support for writing lzo files
* JITing of BPF bytecode using LLVM, leading to faster BPF filtering
* Added enums for post-IP protocols and Ethertypes
* Write support added for DAG cards - thanks to Daniel Lawson
* Added new trace tool: tracetop. Shows the top N flows each second
* Added new trace tool: tracereplay. Attempts to replay trace files in trace 
time
* Added new trace tool: tracediff. Displays packets that differ between two 
trace files
* Added trace_get_timespec() function
* If the format is not specified as part of the URI, libtrace can now attempt 
to guess the trace format
* Libpacketdump can now decode CHDLC and PPP/HDLC headers
* Added all the code examples from the libtrace tutorial to the examples 
directory

Bug Fixes:
* Fixed bug where packets read from a DAG card that did not match the filter 
were causing lengthy sleep events under the event API
* Fixed various tools that were not reporting the occurrence of a read error
* Fixed segfault caused by malformed URIs
* Fixed bug where reading a zero-length payload from a PCAP trace would result 
in an EOF being incorrectly reported
* Fixed bug where filtered packet count was not initialised to zero
* trace_get_payload_from_ip() now returns NULL when the IP version is incorrect 
rather than asserting
* Fixed segfault when writing packets to a Linux native socket, caused by byte 
ordering issue
* Fixed bug where custom pcap event function was not being used
* Fixed misplaced assertion in the pcap file reading code
* Fixed bug where trace_event would never get a packet event under recent 
versions of libpcap
* Fixed assertion failure when an unknown linktype is encountered by 
libpacketdump
* Fixed error caused by LCP packets that are common in some trace sets, e.g. 
Leipzig
* Increased size of RT packet buffer to fix problems caused by jumbograms
* Fixed errors caused by 32- and 64-bit incompatibility when sending Linux 
Native packets using the RT protocol
* trace_get_*_port() functions now always return 0 for ICMP packets
* Fixed problems with decoding HDLC and CHDLC headers
* Fixed segfault when reading PCAP packets that had no packet content
* Fixed bug where PCAP packets would be written with a larger capture length 
than the wire length
* Fixed segfault in the TCP segment report in tracereport caused by segments 
larger than 1500 bytes
* Fixed bug with restarting a PCAP trace file
* Fixed bugs relating to the size of the TSH packet records
* Fixed bug where we were not accounting for the FCS in legacy Ethernet captures
* Fixed bug where libpacketdump could not decode Linux SLL properly due to 
using an "undefined" function
* Fixed bug where libpacketdump was not skipping IP options before attempting 
to decode the next header
* Fixed bug where padding was being treated as part of a truncated header
* Fixed assertion when converting a packet with a corrupt wire length to PCAP
* More fixes for missing #includes

Improvements:
* trace_get_source_address() and trace_get_destination_address() now return 
link layer addresses in the absence of an IP header wherever possible
* trace_get_<protocol> short-cut functions now return NULL if the entire header 
(minus options) is not present in the packet
* Added missing set_capture_length() functionality for Linux Native
* traceanon can now write compressed traces
* traceanon now replaces checksums with zeroes
* traceanon, tracesplit and tracemerge now support all libtrace compression 
types for output
* tracereport no longer does the flow report by default
* Added support for new ERF types
* Added linktype for Experimental Ethernet
* Added --count option to tracereport
* Added --merge-inputs option to tracertstats
* Added support for ARPHRD_NONE
* Added a libpacketdump decoder for ubiquity headers
* Improved libpacketdump's method of searching for decoders
* More efficient arrangement of internal structures
* Tidied up exported symbols
* General code maintenance
* Tidied up manpages
* Improved documentation
