It took a while, but I believe it was worth it!

Release 4.4.1 is now available for download at www.candelatech.com
(Except the live CD, which should be up by Nov 4th at latest.)

Release notes:

Release 4.4.1:
     *  WARNING:  This release cannot correctly restore settings
        for ethernet interfaces read from older configuration databases.
        If re-entering the config information for the interfaces
        is problematic, please contact support at candelatech.com and we
        can help automate the procedure.  Please make a backup of at
        least the DB directory before upgrading.

     *  Add support for PPPoE interfaces.

     *  Add initial support for H323 VOIP call generation.

     *  Remove 'last-client' config option.  It was never too useful,
        and was making it difficult to fix bugs with 'dev-ignore'.
        If you are upgrading, you MUST run the lfconfig tool again
        to create the correct start scripts.

     *  Re-work Interface configuration and reporting logic to be more
        robust and stop occassionaly loosing the IP config information.

     *  Fix linux kernel bug that caused vlan removal to
        fail sometimes due to leaked reference count.

     *  Fix LANforge manager crash when more than 65534
        cross-connects were created and destroyed.

     *  Fix GUI to behave nicely when more than 32767 endpoints
        were created and destroyed.

     *  Fix crash in LANforge manager signal handling code.  Caused
        random crashes when a signal arrived at the exact time we
        are rotating the log file.  (Very rare bug.)

     *  Fix crash due to memory corruption in Layer-4 endpoints.
        Error only showed itself on Fedora Core 4 systems.

     *  Allow WanLinks to be configured to ensure a packet gap
        between every packet in order to better emulate slower speed
        networks.  Option is in 'Advanced' tab in the WanLink config.
