X.500 Support in Ethereal

Ethereal 0.10.14 was released between Christmas and New Year and now includes support for all the X.500 protocols: DAP, DSP, DISP and DOP. It has already be used to successfully verify and correct some DOP implementations. Hopefully it will be an equally useful tool for DISP interoperability.

Also included in 0.10.14 was X.400 support for all the extended bodyparts including FTBP, General Text and forwarded content. Security label dissection was also enhanced to support some widely used security category types to support restrictive, informative and permissive categories.

Further details can be found in the latest Ethereal Release Notes.

Further enhancements are still be incorporated including the ACP133 EdB attributes and hopefully a generic way for Ethereal to dissect custom schemas.
