The "conversation table" mechanism supports two types of tables, one for
the "Conversations" menu item under "Statistics" and one for the
"Endpoints" menu item under "Statistics". The first of them shows
statistics for conversations at various layers of the networking stack;
the second of them shows statistics for endpoints at various layers of
the networking stack.
The latter is *not* a table of hosts; an endpoint might be a host,
identified by an address at some network level (MAC, IP, etc.), or it
might be a port on a host, identified by an address/port pair.
Some data types, function names, etc. use "host" or "hostlist" or other
terms that imply that an endpoint is a host; change them to speak of
endpoints rather than hosts, using names similar to the corresponding
functions for conversations.
Provide wrapper functions and typedefs for backwards source and binary
compatibility; mark them as deprecated in favor of the new names.
Clean up some comment errors found in the process.
Linux builds were left behind on the Qt transition, presumably because
our Ubuntu CI image does not support Qt6.
Enable Qt6 by default and explicitly disable it for slower or more
conservative Linux distros.
Drop experimental status for Qt6, because we are using it to build
official Windows and macOS releases.
libbrotlidec and libbrotlicommon show up in `otool -L` without any path
information on the macOS builders, similar to what's described at
https://github.com/google/brotli/issues/934
Try to work around this in osx-app.sh.
The semantics behind ws_pipe_close() were broken since its introduction.
Forcing process termination on Windows, while simply setting variable on
other systems results in more OS specific code sprinkled all over the
place instead of less. Moreover ws_pipe_close() never handled standard
file handles. It is really hard to come up with sensible ws_pipe_close()
replacement, as process exit is actually asynchronous action. It is
recommended to register child watch using g_child_watch_add() instead.
Do not call ws_pipe_close() when deleting capture interface. Things will
break if extcap is still running when interface opts are being freed and
terminating process won't help.
Rework maxmind shutdown to rely on GIOChannel state. For unknown reason
TerminateProcess() is still needed on Windows. The actual root cause
should be identified and fixed instead of giving up hope that it will
ever work correctly on Windows. In other words, TerminateProcess()
should not be used as a pattern, but rather as a last resort.
Remove ws_read_string_from_pipe() as this function encourages bad design
and is no longer necessary. Extcap stderr is read only after the child
process has finished and thus the read will never block.
Close process information thread handle right away as we don't use it.
Remove unused ws_pipe_t member variables.
Move Acknowledgements to a separate file to enable some code
simplification and improve maintenance and discoverability
for acknowlegements.
Convert the Acknowledgements file to Github flavored markdown
and display it in rich text using QTextBrowser.
Add Acknowledgements.md to NSIS installer
RPM 4.11.2 introduced build failures on "wrong" version formatting,
including everything with a double dash. This broke a lot of
packages, so many distributions turned it off by default, but
some don't. Make sure it's off, because build from git versions
have dashes. Fixes the Rocky 9 CI build.
Note that we try to work around this by replacing the dashes in
our version number with underscores, but RPM will still complain
about an invalid version in the dependency it generates from our
pkg-config file.
Run tests when nocheck is not set in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and skip
tests and building tests when nocheck is set.
Also make the check's style in sync with the official Debian package.
Register the data dissector to all dissector tables that support
Decode As. This provides a way to disable decoding for table
entries that have a default dissector registered to a value.
It is particularly useful when a dissector is registered by default
to several values (e.g. HTTP), to be able to disable decoding
for one port without disabling the dissector in general.
It is also useful to prevent payloads from being handed off
to heuristic dissectors, and is thus distinguished from the
fallback to data when no dissector is set. N.B.: that this has no
effect on dissectors that have a "Try heuristic sub-dissectors first"
preference set to TRUE.
It does not solve a second issue for table entries with a default
dissector - setting the dissector to "none" in order to force
payloads to be sent to heuristic dissectors without setting a
preference as above. (Note that in some cases one will wish to
send dissection on some ports to heuristics without enabling
heuristics first for _all_ ports.)
Fix#17518. Fix#15717. Related to #12098, which also needs the
last issue mentioned above addressed.
It's possible for a dissector to claim a frame without adding to
the tree or being added to frame.protocols (see !6669)
Log a debug message showing the pinfo layers and the dissector that
claimed the tvb (frame/packet).
Add a function to get the column text of the nth column, taking
into account whether the column is resolved or unresolved. Use
this function in the GUI, as well as in tshark, when writing
PSML, exporting dissection to PSML, etc., instead of accessing
col_data directly.
This removes the direct accesses of col_data from outside
column.c and column-utils.c
Fix#18168.
Switch to the name "Logray" for the log analyzer. Rays are biological
cousins of sharks and more people like the name "Logray" in a completely
unscientific survey here. Apologies for any inconvenience this might
cause.
Because completed reassemblies are hashed in the reassembled_table for
all the frame numbers that contributed fragments,
fragment_get_reassembled_id() works wherever fragment_get_reassembled()
does, and also works where the fragment id is not the frame number.
However, since the reassembled_table hash key only depends on the
fragment id and the frame number, it only allows a frame to have
one reassembly with a given fragment id. Some protocols can have
more than one reassembly with a given fragment id (that differ on
addresses or other keys), such as GSM SMS, and the wrong reassembly
is retrieved on the second pass in those cases.
For this reason, we might want to add additional key elements to
reassembled_table, such as layer number. fragment_get_reassembled_id
already takes packet_info as a parameter and can accommodate that
without further changes, but fragment_get_reassembled cannot, so
remove the latter in favor of the former.
It would be really nice if the PortableApps package builder exited
with an error to stdio instead of opening an dialog in a CI builder's
inaccessible UI session.

In commit 8c7e3f0d30, the config.nsh.in
was renamed as wireshark-config.nsh.in, and the config.nsh was renamed
as wireshark-config.nsh as well, but the wireshark-common.nsh still
includes the config.nsh, which will cause the packaging failed.
Commit 5cd591129f removes a number
of conversation related functions. Remove them from the debian
symbol list.
The commit also removed the implementation of conversation_hash_exact,
so remove the declaration from the header file.
Create Logwolf-specific copies of the various Wireshark NSIS config files
and modify them to install and uninstall Logwolf. There are still a bunch
of rough edges, but the installer works for a test capture I have here.
Rename the following build targets, similar to the recent macOS target
name changes:
nsis_package_prep to wireshark_nsis_prep
nsis_package to wireshark_nsis
Rename some NSIS files to reflect that they're specific to Wireshark.
Update the documentation and CI configurations.
