I don't think we have a date yet.  I think we'd like to finish up the
specification soon; it'll take longer to implement APIs to use all the
capabilities, although we could probably add the ability to read those
files - or, at least, files in that format that don't have captures from
more than one network interface - sooner than that, with the existing
APIs (which won't show all the data available in the file).

The current specification for the new format can be found at

    http://www.tcpdump.org/pcap/pcap.html

or

    http://www.tcpdump.org/pcap/pcap.txt

Send any suggestions you have to the list.

I note this draft is due to expire at the end of August, is there a repository of changes made since the draft was published?

Is this list the primary discussion forum for this draft? I see a reference to 'Network Working Group', is this an IETF body?

Regards,
Stephen.
