* TShark now resets its state when changing files in
ring-buffer mode.
* Expert Info severities can now be configured.
* Wireshark now supports external capture interfaces.
External capture interfaces can be anything from a
tcpdump-over-ssh pipe to a program that captures from
proprietary or non-standard hardware. This functionality is
not available in the Qt UI yet.

Android Logcat text files, Colasoft Capsa files, and Wireshark now

Major API Changes
The libwireshark API has undergone some major changes:
* Many of the ep_ and se_ memory allocation routines have
been removed.
* The (long-since-broken) Python bindings support has been
removed. If you want to write dissectors in something other
than C, use Lua.

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 on the [2]download page 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.
