The personal extcap folder $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/wireshark on Linux is
inconsistent with the global extcap folder (lib/wireshark/extcap)
and personal plugins folder (.local/lib/wireshark/plugins) and also
the configuration folder should not contain architecture-specific files.
The extcap personal folder is changed from:
.config/wireshark/extcap
to:
.local/lib/wireshark/extcap
Uncapitalize Open Source Software. Prefer the well established umbrella
term "free and open source software". Add specifics about the license
version.
Most references use an hyphen with "open-source". Do that as well.
To maintain familiarity and keep to expectations do an exact copy.
The last sentence to check the man page is an exception because it
is an addenda and recognizing that this clipboard information will
be used mostly in bug reports, it might get annoying.
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
Add the text of the GPLv2 in HTML, taken from the FSF website,
and use rich text to display the license in the GUI.
Move the introductory note about the GPL from the COPYING
license text file to the README.
Remove various other license callouts at the end of the COPYING file
as unnecessary and unhelpful. This information is present in
each source file, where it belongs.
Some lines in Acknowledgements are mistakenly matching the regular
expression to capture authors and email addresses, resulting in
bogus authors entries.
Stop matching authors after we reach the Acknowledgements section.
This matches the structure of the AUTHORS-SHORT file and fixes the
bogus entries.
The Qt implicit casts from QByteArray to QString all use
size = -1, meaning to the end of the string.
This causes gcc 12.1 with -O2 to produce a very dubious stringop-overread
warning, by computing both sides of a branch even when it shouldn't:
/usr/include/qt5/QtCore/qstring.h:706:69: error: ‘size_t strlen(const char*)’ reading 1 or more bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
706 | return fromUtf8_helper(str, (str && size == -1) ? int(strlen(str)) : size);
| ~~~~~~^~~~~
There's also a similar error with QByteArray.constData(), even though
isEmpty() should return True when the QByteArray is NULL.
(Adding isNull() prevents the warning but is redundant.)
Use DIAG_OFF and DIAG_ON to ignore the warning on GCC 12.1 and higher.
Fix#18090.
Move WiresharkApplication.{cpp,h} to MainApplication.{cpp,h}. Add back
WiresharkApplication as a thin superclass of MainApplication, similar to
LogsharkApplication. Change all of our wsApp references to mainApp. We
will likely have to change many or most of them back, but that's a
commit for another time.

Qt 5.10 added qsizetype, aka an ssize_t and Qt 6 makes extensive use of
it. Add a compatibility typedef and use it where we can. Cast it away
where we can't.
Wireshark successfully compiles on Windows with Qt6.2 with following
cmake options:
-DUSE_qt6=ON -DDISABLE_ERROR=ON
QCustomPlot QT 6.2 patch is taken from QCustomPlot forum post by miccs.
Qt5 recommended to use QRegularExpression instead of QRegExp.
Qt6 deprecated QRegExp and provides it in Qt5 compatibility module.
QRegularExpression is generally faster and safer to use as the results
are returned in separate QRegularExpressionMatch instead of modifying
interal QRegExp object state.
Version info is an aspect of UI implementation so move it to
a more appropriate place, such as ui/. This also helps declutter
the top-level.
A static library is appropriate to encapsulate the dependencies
as private and it is better supported by CMake than object libraries.
Also version_info.h should not be installed as a public header.
Experience has shown that:
1. The current logging methods are not very reliable or practical.
A logging bitmask makes little sense as the user-facing interface (who
would want debug but not crtical messages for example?); it's
computer-friendly and user-unfriendly. More importantly the console
log level preference is initialized too late in the startup process
to be used for the logging subsystem and that fact raises a number
of annoying and hard-to-fix usability issues.
2. Coding around G_MESSAGES_DEBUG to comply with our log level mask
and not clobber the user's settings or not create unexpected log misses
is unworkable and generally follows the principle of most surprise.
The fact that G_MESSAGES_DEBUG="all" can leak to other programs using
GLib is also annoying.
3. The non-structured GLib logging API is very opinionated and lacks
configurability beyond replacing the log handler.
4. Windows GUI has some special code to attach to a console,
but it would be nice to abstract away the rest under a single
interface.
5. Using this logger seems to be noticeably faster.
Deprecate the console log level preference and extend our API to
implement a log handler in wsutil/wslog.h to provide easy-to-use,
flexible and dependable logging during all execution phases.
Log levels have a hierarchy, from most verbose to least verbose
(debug to error). When a given level is set everything above that
is also enabled.
The log level can be set with an environment variable or a command
line option (parsed as soon as possible but still later than the
environment). The default log level is "message".
Dissector logging is not included because it is not clear what log
domain they should use. An explosion to thousands of domains is
not desirable and putting everything in a single domain is probably
too coarse and noisy. For now I think it makes sense to let them do
their own thing using g_log_default_handler() and continue using the
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG mechanism with specific domains for each individual
dissector.
In the future a mechanism may be added to selectively enable these
domains at runtime while trying to avoid the problems introduced
by G_MESSAGES_DEBUG.
Remove the editor modeline blocks from most of the source files in ui/qt
by running
perl -i -p0e 's{ \n+ /[ *\n]+ editor \s+ modelines .* shiftwidth= .* \*/ \s+ } {\n}gsix' $( ag -g '\.(cpp|h)' )
then cleaning up the remaining files by hand.
This *shouldn't* affect anyone since
- All of the source files in ui/qt use 4 space indentation, which
matches the default in our top-level .editorconfig
- The one notable editor that's likely to be used on these files and
*doesn't* support EditorConfig (Qt Creator) defaults to 4 space
indentation.
Run
$ gsed -i -e 's/\(tr *(.*".*\)" *UTF8_HORIZONTAL_ELLIPSIS/\1…"/' $( ag -l 'tr *\(.*" *UTF8_HORIZONTAL_ELLIPSIS' )
$ gsed -i -e 's/\(tr *( *\)UTF8_HORIZONTAL_ELLIPSIS *"/\1"…/' $( ag -l 'tr *\( *UTF8_HORIZONTAL_ELLIPSIS *"' )
in ui/qt. As discussed in #16812, the UTF8_ macros were required at one
time because we only allowed ASCII in our source code. However, that
requirement has since been relaxed and Qt's translation framework
doesn't handle concatenating strings and macros very well.
Since commit 5dfde7ff ("Print extcap plugins with "tshark -G
plugins"."), compiling with -DENABLE_LUA=no -DENABLE_PLUGINS=no fails.
The definition of plugins_add_description() is guarded by HAVE_PLUGINS
|| HAVE_LUA, but that definition is used without such guards for extcap
right below, resulting in:
ui/qt/about_dialog.cpp:137:29: error: 'plugins_add_description' was not
declared in this scope
Fix this by removing the guards around plugins_add_description().

QTextEdit supports the scrollbar. The drawback of having a scrollbar
is that we need to remove the space (on the right, at least). This change
switches from QLabel to QTextBrowser and removes the empty spaces and the
horizontal layout (not needed anymore). The resulting look is a mix
from the Authors tab and original look.
While on it, the default height has been increased to make room for the full

to the wireshark site has been made clickable.
