After almost 9 months since the previous release, I'm excited to announce a new release of PcapPlusPlus: v21.05 🎉🎉

For those who are not familiar with the project: PcapPlusPlus is an open source project. It's a multi-platform C++ library for capturing, parsing and crafting of network packets. It is designed to be efficient, powerful and easy to use.
