There was a release of iptraf-ng v1.0.2 [0]. The diff between .2 and .3 is just the removal of some documentation. The .2 release has this bug fixed.

I just pulled everything into git [1] to have a look on it. The diff of iptraf v3.0.0 vs v3.0.1 are just some header changes. This release is not even announced on the homepage [2]. Their mailing list isn't very active either. iptraf-ng continued after v3.0.0. Nikola collected various patches from other distros and applied them. He announced it the mailing list with no reaction. Based on that, I would switch over to iptraf-ng because the original upstream looks dead and the fork fixed atleast one bug which is bothering people. Additionaly it provides support for IPv6 which would close #44113. Maybe there are other bugs which could be closed :) Cherry-picking the individual patches ontop of iptraf does not make much sense in my opinion.
