jNetStream on the backburner again!

I'm still working on proper jNetPcap release. Since jNetStream is layered on top of jNetPcap, its been put on the back burner until jnetpcap-1.2 is released. The jnetstream-3.0a1 is workable, for those brave enough to try it. jNetStream has fully functional and tested capture file manipulation. You can edit, index, slice and dice different types of capture files to your heart's content. Its very very fast and efficient. I can't wait to finish jnetpcap and restart work on jnetstream. jNetStream provides a much higher and nicer public API then jnetpcap which is more low level stuff.

Future of jNetStream

jNetStream project has been on hold for a while now. So I wanted to update what is going on. I've been working very heavily on jNetPcap, a sister project over last 6 months. I have added significant capabilities to jNetPcap that were originally intended for jnetstream. Specifically protocol decoding is now done in jnetpcap, at low native layer.

SF.net website deprecated

SF.net team has made a lot of changes to the way dynamic websites are hosted. They do allow it but made it almost impossible to maintain or setup. This is the final nail in the coffin for me. I'm trying to get all the data, articles and examples out of their database and copy that data over to http://jnetstream.com server. If you go to the "old" website you will see things displayed part of the CMS system that generates that stuff, but its unable to access the database or its config files. I can't tell myself whats happening there as access has been severely limited.

Added new feature to legacy jNetStream version 2.5

After several requests, I've succummed to peer pressure and added a badly needed feature to legacy jNetStream API (not to be confused with the latest 3.0 release I'm also working on.) This is an update to the old 2.4 which is currently the latest "stable" release.

The new feature is live capture of network packets and will be released as 2.5. I wasn't planning on continuing development on the old 2.4 software train, but I did it anyway.

In any case, look for 2.5 to be released soon, its dependency is on also the new jNetPcap version 1.2 (which hasn't been released yet either.)

New website

Is starting to come together.
