Hi Markus,
Thanks for the feedback.

I have tested the latest release and so far I have found only some small issues.
- The file configure.in is deprecated and upstream now recommends to use configure.ac instead. As far I know simply renaming the file should do the trick. See also https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2013-05/msg00049.html for more information.
I'll take a look at doing that. I always find autoconf/automake a painful black art, but hopefully this will be straightforward.
- The new -t option is not mentioned in iftop.8. I have written a small patch for the man page.
Thank you.
There are several compiler warnings from gcc 4.8. Most of them are rather cosmetic issues and easy to fix by removing unused variables/functions or adding prototypes to header files. gcc-warnings.txt contains a list of those warnings. The gcc-warnings.patch fixes
warning: suggest parentheses around '&&' within '||' [-Wparentheses]
for example.
Someone else had already mentioned that - thanks for the patch.
I'll review the other warnings.
Do you have an estimated release date for 1.0? I could also upload ~pre3 to Debian unstable first and let a wider audience test this new release. If there were no major complaints, let's say within 4 weeks, 1.0 would be ready for a release.
No specific date other than ASAP. There's enough come up in pre3 to warrant a pre4, which will then hopefully be released unchanged as 1.0.
I would expect any issues introduced in pre3 to be build-time rather than run time, and I've now had good feedback on that. The introduction of the "-t" mode was more of a change than I was planning to make at this stage, but I'm pretty confident that it won't result in regressions in any functionality that was present in pre2.
Hopefully I'll get a pre4 out today, and if we're happy that it builds OK on all platforms that earlier releases have then I'll press the button on 1.0 within a week or so.
