Description:
 KTrafficAnalyzer is meant to provide visual
feedback of your current network traffic, similar
to tools like DU-Meter. In addition it provides
statistics with total down- and upload sums.

Of course feedback is more than welcome. There is
still more than enough room for improvements. Also
checkout the TODO file what I'm already planning -
maybe you have ideas what I can add or what might
be useful too!

For instructions on how to compile / install it
please read the INSTALL file included in the
archive.

There are also various RPMs available - just check
the download links. Thanks to all the
contributors!

[B]14.04.2007: Again a new release of KTA with
experimential SSH support - checkout the SSHUsage
file in the package. Any feedback on that new
feature would be appreciated. ATM only a RPM for
openSuSE 10.2 x86_64 is available, I will provide
some more RPMs tomorrow.[/B]

[B]11.04.2007: Finally a new official KTA release.
I tried to build in as many ideas from you as
possible! Also checkout the new Homepage of KTA
(just click the website link)![/B]

Changelog:
 v0.3.7:
=======
- Increased size of settings-labels, etc. to fix
certain font issues

- Added experimential support for SSH-Remote
Traffic reading (see SSHUsage File for details)
- Added an option to write the stats each time
they are updated (this is by default turned on)
- The time between traffic-refreshs can now be set

SSH-Connection (all incoming / outgoing
communication is printed to the console).
- When closing the main-window KTA now just closes
to sys-tray instead of exiting

dialog
- Increased size of settings dialog a bit so that

buffer is now correctly resized
- When the interface to monitor is changed, the

  in the settings dialog and then click on stats
to see them)
  NOTE: Stats are seperated by interface name
- KTA now adds the currently monitored interface
name to the title-bar

v0.3.2:
=======

the time from one end of
  the graph to the other end)
- Now a link from ktrafficanalyzer to
KTrafficAnalyzer is generated, makes
  it easier to find the executeable :)
