Wireshark 1.99.0 Release Notes
This is an experimental release intended to test new features
for Wireshark 2.0.
__________________________________________________________
What is Wireshark?
Wireshark is the world's most popular network protocol
analyzer. It is used for troubleshooting, analysis, development
and education.
__________________________________________________________
What's New
New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly
updated) since version 1.12.0:
* The I/O Graph in the Gtk+ UI now supports an unlimited
number of data points (up from 100k).
* 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.
* Qt port:
+ The Qt UI is now the default (program name is
wireshark).
+ A Polish translation has been added.
+ The Interfaces dialog has been added.
+ The interface list is now updated when interfaces
appear or disappear.
+ The Conversations and Endpoints dialogs have been
added.
+ A Japanese translation has been added.
+ It is now possible to manage remote capture
interfaces.
+ Windows: taskbar progress support has been added.
+ Most toolbar actions are in place and work.
+ More command line options are now supported
New Protocol Support
ceph, corosync/totemnet, corosync/totemsrp, CP "Cooper" 2179,
Dynamic Source Routing (RFC 4728), Generic Network
Virtualization Encapsulation (Geneve), IPMI Trace, iSER,
KNXnetIP, OptoMMP, S7 Communication, and Stateless Transport
Tunneling
Updated Protocol Support
Too many protocols have been updated to list here.
New and Updated Capture File Support
Android logcat text files, and Wireshark now supports
nanosecond timestamp resolution in PCAP-NG files.
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.

Getting Wireshark
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available
from [1]https://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
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.
