Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.9.18 (Sunday, June 3, 2018):

EtherApe now is a pure GTK 3 application, with canvas supplied by GooCanvas.

While GooCanvas itself is in maintenance mode, is still the simplest Gnome canvas library available and with an API almost identical to gnome-canvas, too! Longer term, EtherApe ui should be completely redesigned and modernized, but this is for another day.

Changes summary:

• EtherApe ported to GTK3 using GooCanvas instead of the obsolete GnomeCanvas

As usual, and thanks to OpenSuse Build Service, prebuilt rpms are available for:

• Arch Linux
• Mageia 6
• Fedora 24 to Rawhide
• OpenSUSE 13.2, Leap and Tumbleweed/Factory. Experimental RPMS for PPC.

Changes summary:

• EtherApe now requires Gtk 2.24
• fixed a bug making libglade load gnome2 libraries
• Sometimes node/links windows were freezing.

For those who prefer a pull-request based workflow, EtherApe now is also on Bitbucket at https://bitbucket.org/bchiara/etherape

Main site, bug tracking and file download will remain on SourceForge.

Overview of changes in EtherApe 0.9.16 (Sunday, January 14, 2018):

Several distributions are phasing out Gnome 2 libraries and EtherApe needs to update as well.
Unfortunately, this mean dropping support for older distributions, for example CENTOS 5 and 6.
At this time the EtherApe executable can still be built for those distributions, but not the project as a whole.

This is an interim release, where the only Gnome 2 component is gnome-canvas. Apart of that, EtherApe is now a GTK2 application.
Work is underway to replace gnome-canvas with another component.
Documentation is now based on yelp-tools instead of Scroolkeeper/Rarian.

Many thanks to Patrick Matthäi for packaging EtherApe for Debian and helping to keep this tool current.

Changes summary:

• require only gnome-canvas, not gnome-ui. Based on the work of Arch Linux packager bgyorgy (Balló György). Thanks!
• migrate from deprecated gnome-doc-utils to yelp-tools. Unfortunately this change rules out older distributions, documentation-wise.
• updated German translation, thanks to Chris Leick

As usual, and thanks to OpenSuse Build Service, prebuilt rpms are available for:

• Arch Linux
• Mageia 6
• CENTOS 7
• Fedora 24, 25, 26 and Rawhide
• ScientificLinux 7
• SLES 12, 12 SP1 and 12 SP3
• OpenSUSE 13.2, Leap 42.1/42.2/42.3 and Tumbleweed/Factory. Experimental RPMS for PPC.
