Enhancements:
- Added SSL support via OpenSSL (www.openssl.org) if
installed. I've included a simple ntop-cert.pem file
that a certificate I created using OpenSSL. You should NOT
use it in an idead world. Nevertheless, if you really wanna
use it when ntop (with SSL support) starts up and it prompts
'Enter PEM pass phrase:' you should type the seed
I used for generating this test certificate, namely
'*****'. (see fix for 1.2a13)
- Added ability to specify '*' (all URLs) for protecting
all URLs.
- "make install" has been implemented
-------------------------
1.2a10 [Snapshot]

then when ntop shows the flag for <domain> it uses
the <domain>.gif icon instead of the default one
(Owner: Ross Campbell <rcampbel@us.oracle.com>)
- Added menu entry for shutting down ntop using
a web browser
- Added the 's' flag that's used to specify the hash
table size: the smaller is the value the less memory
is used -> the less efficient is the hash ->
the slower is ntop. Life is a matter of tradeoffs!
- Added lastSeenPlugin.c written by
Andrea Marangoni <marangoni@unimc.it>. This plugins
is a work in progess (as ntop :-)). Many thanks Andrea!
------------------------------------------------------

(Courtesy of Daniel Savard <daniel.savard@gespro.com>)
(Owner Chris Hall <dylix@home.com>)

order to cache sym<->num mappings hence to significantly
reduce the number of DNS requests
-------------------------------------------------
1.2a4 [Snapshot] (Mon Aug 9 17:59:15 CEST 1999)
Enhancements:
- log file now contains stats about specified IP protocols
(Owner: Laurent Doublein <Laurent.Doublein@par.sita.int>)

Everything under /cgi/ is considered a cgi-like
script.

Fixed bugs:
- Some hash tables had wrong garbage collector code. In
particular this caused the main table become full. This
was the main cause of performance degradation due to
large lookup times.

used to be of wrong type)
- Added missing "<center>" tag on the throughput
graph.
--------------------------------

corrected values
- Fixed a but that prevented ntop to work properly on ethernet
headerless interfaces such as the loopback interface
(thanks to Martin Kammerhofer <dada@sbox.tu-graz.ac.at>).
- Many fixes in both ntop and configure. This is to fix some
glithes and make the package compatible with NetBSD.

was broken (the Makefile was trying to instell ntop.1 instead
of ntop.8). In addition the man page had a small

- The code that calculates the network usage percentage is
wrong: the data sent/received percentages are inverted.
(thanks to Davin Milun <milun@cs.buffalo.edu>).
