New Kismet stable release is up, with 6 months of bugfixes, speed
boosts, new features, and general good stuff, including:

 * Rewritten packet engine, tens of times faster than 3.x, migrated
   monitor mode and channel change to ioctl calls for greater speed and
   efficiency
 * Support for FreeBSD radiotap
 * Improved OpenBSD support
 * Support for running kismet on WRT54G aps
 * Support for Prism54 and Madwifi
 * Fixed remote drones
 * Unmonitor support
 * Improved error handling and return codes
 * Vastly improved gpsmap data filtering
 * Gpsmap legend drawing, bugs in multiple gpsxml file parsing,
   allocation bugs,
 * Much improved packet dissection and validation, duplicate IV
 * detection
 * Countless other bug fixes to protocol consistency, OSX support,
   variable initialization, CSV output, and more.=20
 * Data and probe network autogrouping in panels client

This also marks the start of the new versioning scheme. For various
reasons, the previous major.minor.tiny scheme isn't making much sense
anymore, so the new versioning will be month.year.pointrelease -
hopefully this will lend itself to more monthly stable releases instead
of waiting 6 months every time.=20

Download is in the usual spot at http://www.kismetwireless.net/.
Binaries for arm (static uclibc linkage with uclx compression yields
binaries that should run on any arm system and distribution and are
still smaller than the old dynlinked binaries) and mipsel (wrt54g
linksys router binaries) are also up for download.

Hopefully I didn't miss anything,
