Hi everyone.

WinPcap is still up and running. As some of you may have read on the 
winpcap-users mailing list, the project moved from the university (where 
Loris and me got our PhD) to a new website, www.winpcap.org, maintained and 
supported by Loris and me as part of our working adventure in the sunny 
California.

This important milestone was one of the causes in the delay to release 
WinPcap 3.1. We are planning to release WinPcap 3.1 final by mid-july. More 
details on it can be found here:

Have a nice day
