This is an experimental release intended to test new features for
|
||
Wireshark 3.0.
|
||
|
||
== 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
|
||
|
||
Many user interface improvements have been made. See the “New and Updated
|
||
Features” section below for more details.
|
||
|
||
=== Bug Fixes
|
||
|
||
The following bugs have been fixed:
|
||
|
||
//* wsbuglink:5000[]
|
||
//* wsbuglink:6000[Wireshark bug]
|
||
//* cveidlink:2014-2486[]
|
||
//* Wireshark slowly leaked water under the kitchen sink over the course of several months, causing a big mess.
|
||
|
||
//_Non-empty section placeholder._
|
||
|
||
Dumpcap might not quit if Wireshark or TShark crashes.
|
||

|
||
|
||
=== New and Updated Features
|
||
|
||
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
||
since version 2.6.0:
|
||
|
||
* TShark now supports the `-G elastic-mapping` option which generates an ElasticSearch mapping file.
|
||
* The “Capture Information” dialog has been added back (wsbuglink:12004[]).
|
||
* The Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 dissectors no longer validate the frame check sequence (checksum) by default.
|
||
* The TCP dissector gained a new “Reassemble out-of-order segments” preference
|
||
to fix dissection and decryption issues in case TCP segments are received
|
||
out-of-order. See the User’s Guide, chapter _TCP Reassembly_ for details.
|
||
|
||
=== Removed Features and Support
|
||
|
||
* The legacy (GTK+) user interface has been removed and is no longer supported.
|
||
* Wireshark requires Qt 5.2 or later. Qt 4 is no longer supported.
|
||
* Wireshark requires GLib 2.32 or later.
|
||
* Building Wireshark requires CMake. Autotools is no longer supported.
|
||
|
||
//=== Removed Dissectors

//=== Major API Changes
|
||
|
||
== Getting Wireshark
|
||
|
||
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
|
||
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 https://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.
|
||
|
||
== Known Problems
|
||
|
||
The BER dissector might infinitely loop.
|
||
(wsbuglink:1516[])
|
||
|
||
Capture filters aren't applied when capturing from named pipes.
|
||
(wsbuglink:1814[])
|
||
|
||
Filtering tshark captures with read filters (-R) no longer works.
|
||
(wsbuglink:2234[])
|
||
|
||
Application crash when changing real-time option.
|
||
(wsbuglink:4035[])
|
||
|
||
Wireshark and TShark will display incorrect delta times in some cases.
|
||
(wsbuglink:4985[])
|
||
|
||
Wireshark should let you work with multiple capture files. (wsbuglink:10488[])
