What's New
|
|
|
|
New and Updated Features
|
|
|
|
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
|
since version 1.99.0:
|
|
* Qt port:
|
|
+ You can now show and hide toolbars and major widgets using the
|
|
View menu.
|
|
+ You can now set the time display format and precision.
|
|
+ The byte view widget is much faster, particularly when
|
|
selecting large reassembled packets.
|
|
+ The byte view is explorable. Hovering over it highlights the
|
|
corresponding field and shows a description in the status bar.
|
|
+ An Italian translation has been added.
|
|
+ The Summary dialog has been updated and renamed to Capture
|
|
File Properties.
|
|
+ The VoIP Calls and SIP Flows dialogs have been added.
|
|
+ Support for HiDPI / Retina displays has been improved in the
|
|
official packages.
|
|
|
|
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).

|
|
+ 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.
|

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.
