Full Changelog: v1.0.6...v1.1.0

GTA V Session Sniffer v1.0.6

Changelog

• IMPROVED code.
• UPDATED the packets scanning approach. Previously, it searched indefinitely for a set number of packets (PYSHARK_PACKET_COUNT), stopped scanning, and then resumed. The new algorithm continuously scans as long as there is no delay of 3 seconds between the received packets. In other words, it no longer triggers the creation of tshark.exe processes every second, providing a more efficient and streamlined operation.
• UPDATED a bunch of code, especially for the rendering, with a focus on optimizing performance.
• UPDATED players are now marked as disconnected based on packet timestamps rather than real-time, ensuring a more secure and reliable detection method.
• REMOVED setting PYSHARK_PACKET_COUNT as it is no longer needed in the source code.

Full Changelog: v1.0.5...v1.0.6

GTA V Session Sniffer v1.0.5

Changelog

• Refined code.

• Fixed <PYSHARK_PACKET_COUNT> from the settings that was not working.
• Added more documentation in the README.md
• Added now when user hit CTRL+C, it will tries to gracefully exit the script.
