0.5

Focused on performance, this release has improved maximum traffic generation rates (pps) up to 25 times on Linux and up to 60 times on Windows. The time taken to "apply" changes to stream(s) has been significantly reduced. A new "Interleaved Streams" transmission mode has been added. Support has been added for "Pkts/Sec" and "Bytes/Sec" rate stats on Linux, transmit rates of less than one pps, nanosecond resolution while calculating inter-packet gaps and display/configuration of port rate averaged/aggregated across all enabled streams on the port.
