Version History
2.42.01 - May 3, 2017
| • | [BugFix] Fixed problems with the Exclude and Also Find search filters. |
2.41.01 - Mar 16, 2017
| • | [MajorFeature] First High-dpi compatible version beta. |
| • | [Bugfix] Minor UI bugfixes. |
| • | [Improvement] Better mouseover hints for General Options. |
| • | [MinorFeature] New option to not clean/truncate displayed urls. |
2.39.01 - Nov 6, 2015

2.38.01 - Apr 28, 2015
| • | [Feature] New option to start sniffing immediately when program is started, even in advanced mode. |
| • | [BugFix/Feature] New option to better handle the "Also Find" text. In previous versions a url would be excluded if it did not match url filter type (multimedia vs all), even if it contained an Also Find keyword. You now have an option (enabled by default) to always include results that match the Also Find keyword, even if it does not match the url filter type. This is most useful when restricting search for multimedia urls but also anything containing the keyword. Tip: Use ; character to separate multiple keywords. |

2.34.01 - May 19, 2014
| • | [BugFix] Some adapters were shown with same name in adapter list -- adapters are now shown with more descriptive names. |

| • | [BugFix] Default URL for network adapter testing was a google page that no longer exists; updated. |

Version 2.22.01 - June. 4, 2008
| • | Added option to customize the url used to test network adapter auto detection, changed default from donationcoder to small google css stylesheet page (this takes load off donationcoder server and should reassure concerned that urlsnooper was somehow "phoning home"). |
| • | Fixed language translation files. |
| • | Increased max URLS that can be kept at once. |
| • | New option to discard filtered-out urls that aren't display; normally the program stores all urls found even if its currently set to filter out all but multimedia urls, so that you can change the view filter to show all urls after the fact. The new option will discard them during filtering, which is a good solution for people who were ending up storing huge numbers of urls while searching for multimedia urls. |
| • | Removed some code to reassemble packets (it's possible this could result in worse url grabbing in rare cases -- stay tuned). |
Version 2.21.01 - Dec. 12, 2007

| • | Version 2.04.04 - 10/03/05 |
1) the method turning off promiscuous mode has been adjusted to better work around bugs preventing some lan adapaters (INTEL) from sniffing unless promiscous mode is turned off in a specific fashion. If your adapter doesn't seem to sniff traffic make sure to try checking "only from this computer" option.

2) Restructured the packet-viewing interface; now instead of a separate window, packets are shown in normal packet view if "View Live Packets" is checked.
3) New checkbox to hide file date/path/name columns, useless when doing network sniffing.
4) Added detection and rebuilding for relatively addressed files making use of "Host: " and "Get \" fields

2) Fixed bug where urls were automatically lowercased, resulting in some urls not being downloadable.

network driver installation program.
