argus-2.0.0.beta.4 incompatibilities

[Carter Bullard]

Gentle people,
   It appears that in the expansion of encapsulation
header reporting, I introduced an incompatibility with
pre beta.4 versions of the ra*() programs.

   ra*() programs prior to beta.4 will have difficulty with
beta.4 data, and beta.4 ra() will printout MPLS encapsulation
indications, and possibly 802.1Q encapsulation
when there are none.

   Please upgrade all of your argus binaries to the latest
versions.  I will be putting out a beta.5 on Thursday night,
and so that may be a good time for you to switch.

Sorry for the inconvenience.  Some would say a minor cost
for improvement, others might say, "well it is free software
you know" ;o)
