- Tue Jan 12 2010 - Kismet-2010-01-R1 released. Includes fixes to
- segfaults, compiling problems on Snow Leopard, GPS, and sundry other
- quirks, and enhancements to the UI, support for the new GPSD JSON-only
- protocol, and a BT scanning plugin for BT device discovery.
+ Kismet-2011-03-R2 released at the usual spot. This is a bugfix release
+ to fix a segv in Kismet when running as a drone server (null ptr de-ref
+ due to internal api drift, nothing exciting)

- Release includes fixes to crashes on resizing terminals, tweaks to plugins, 
addition of the autowep plugin, improved plugin handling, plugin support on 
OSX, initial support for Snow Leopard, fixes to PPI corruption, XML fixes, and 
quite a lot of other bugfixes.
