2013-03-15 01:33:46 +00:00
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
2019-04-10 10:52:52 +00:00

|
2019-02-02 14:52:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
* The build system now checks for a SpeexDSP system library installation. The
|

=== New Protocol Support
|
2016-06-03 16:21:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
Switch from AsciiDoc to Asciidoctor.
Switch the markup text processor for files in the docbook directory from
AsciiDoc to Asciidoctor. Asciidoctor has several useful features (such
as direct PDF output) and is actively developed. It's written in Ruby
but that dependency can be sidestepped with AsciidoctorJ, a
self-contained bundle that only depends on the JRE.
The current toolchain targets require Python, AsciiDoc, DocBook XML,
DocBook XSL, Java, FOP, xsltproc, lynx, and the HTMLHelp compiler:
HTML: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
Chunked HTML: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
PDF: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL → FOP
HTMLHelp: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL → HHC
This change removes the AsciiDoc and FOP requirements and adds either
AsciidoctorJ or Asciidoctor + Ruby:
HTML: Asciidoctor → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
Chunked HTML: Asciidoctor → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
PDF: Asciidoctor
HTMLHelp: Asciidoctor → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL → HHC
Ideally we could generate all of these using AsciidoctorJ, Java, and
lynx. Unfortunately we're not there yet.
The release notes depend on several macros (ws-buglink, ws-salink,
cve-idlink, sort-and-group). Add Asciidoctor (Ruby) equivalents.
Remove the BUILD_xxx_GUIDES CMake options and add various output targets
automatically. This means that you have to build the various documentation
targets explicitly.

== Getting Wireshark
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
|
2014-09-17 00:15:56 +00:00
|
|
|
|
https://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
|
2013-03-15 01:33:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Vendor-supplied Packages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark packages. You can
|
|
|
|
|
usually install or upgrade Wireshark using the package management system
|
|
|
|
|
specific to that platform. A list of third-party packages can be found
|
2014-09-17 00:15:56 +00:00
|
|
|
|
on the https://www.wireshark.org/download.html#thirdparty[download page]
|
2013-03-15 01:33:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
on the Wireshark web site.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== File Locations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for preference
|
|
|
|
|
files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries. These locations vary
|
|
|
|
|
from platform to platform. You can use About→Folders to find the default
|
|
|
|
|
locations on your system.
