|
|
stable release.
|
|
|
|
== 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
|
|
|
|
=== Bug Fixes

The following bugs have been fixed:
|
|
|
|
//* ws-buglink:5000[]
|
|
//* ws-buglink:6000[Wireshark bug]

|
|
|
|
=== New and Updated Features
|
|
|
|
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
|
since version 1.11.3:
|
|
|
|
* Transport name resolution is now disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
|
since version 1.11.2:
|
|
|
|
* Qt port:
|
|
|
|
** The About dialog has been added
|
|
** The Capture Interfaces dialog has been added.
|
|
** The Decode As dialog has been added. It managed to swallow up the
|
|
User Specified Decodes dialog as well.
|
|
** The Export PDU dialog has been added.
|
|
** Several SCTP dialogs have been added.
|
|
** The statistics tree (the backend for many Statistics and Telephony menu
|
|
items) dialog has been added.
|
|
** The I/O Graph dialog has been added.
|
|
** French translation has updated.
|
|
|
|
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
|
since version 1.11.1:
|
|
|
|
* Mac OS X packaging has been improved.
|
|
|
|
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
|
since version 1.11.0:
|
|
|
|
* Dissector output may be encoded as UTF-8. This includes TShark output.
|
|
|
|
* Qt port:
|
|
|
|
** The Follow Stream dialog now supports packet and TCP stream selection.
|
|
** A Flow Graph (sequence diagram) dialog has been added.
|
|
** The main window now respects geometry preferences.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
|
since version 1.10:
|
|
|
|
* Wireshark now uses the Qt application framework. The new UI should provide
|
|
a significantly better user experience, particularly on Mac OS X and Windows.
|
|
* The Windows installer now uninstalls the previous version of Wireshark
|
|
silently. You can still run the uninstaller manually beforehand if you wish
|
|
to run it interactively.
|
|
* Expert information is now filterable when the new API is in use.
|
|
* The "Number" column shows related packets and protocol conversation spans
|
|
(Qt only).
|
|
* When manipulating packets with editcap using the -C <choplen> and/or
|
|
-s <snaplen> options, it is now possible to also adjust the original frame
|
|
length using the -L option.
|
|
* You can now pass the -C <choplen> option to editcap multiple times, which
|
|
allows you to chop bytes from the beginning of a packet as well as at the end
|
|
of a packet in a single step.
|
|
* You can now specify an optional offset to the -C option for editcap, which
|
|
allows you to start chopping from that offset instead of from the absolute
|
|
packet beginning or end.
|
|
* "malformed" display filter has been renamed to "_ws.malformed". A handful of
|
|
other filters have been given the "_ws." prefix to note they are Wireshark
|
|
application specific filters and not dissector filters.
|
|
* The Kerberos dissector has been replaced with an auto generated one from ASN1
|
|
protocol description, changing a lot of filter names.
|
|
|
|
=== Removed dissectors
|
|
|
|
* The ASN1 plugin has been removed as it's deemed obsolete.
|
|
* The GNM dissector has been removed as it was never used.
|
|
* The Kerberos hand made dissector has been replaced by one generated from ASN1 code.
|
|
|

=== Major API Changes
|
|
|
|
The libwireshark API has undergone some major changes:
|
|
|
|
* A more flexible, modular memory manager (wmem) has been added. It was
|
|
available experimentally in 1.10 but is now mature and has mostly
|
|
replaced the old emem API (which is deprecated).
|
|
* A new API for expert information has been added, replacing the old one.
|
|
* The tvbuff API has been cleaned up: tvb_length has been renamed to
|
|
tvb_captured_length for clarity, and tvb_get_string and tvb_get_stringz
|
|
have been deprecated in favour of tvb_get_string_enc and
|
|
tvb_get_stringz_enc.
|
|
* dissector_try_heuristic() signature has been changed to return heur_dtbl_entry_t
|
|
to make it possible to save it and use it in subsequent calls to avoid the overhead
|
|
of going trough the heuristics list.
|
|
|
|
== Getting Wireshark
|
|
|
|
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
|
|
http://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 http://www.wireshark.org/download.html#thirdparty[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.
|
|
|
|
