= Wireshark {wireshark-version} Release Notes
|
||
// Asciidoctor Syntax Quick Reference:
|
||
// https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-syntax-quick-reference/
|
||
|
||
This is an experimental release intended to test new features for Wireshark 3.6.
|
||
|
||
== 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 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 keeps banging out random chords on your piano and yelling “LIPS LIKE SUGUAR, SUGAR KISSES” because it was funny that one time at a party.
|
||
|
||
=== New and Updated Features
|
||
|
||
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated) since version 3.4.0:
|
||
|
||
* TCP conversations now support a completeness criteria, which facilitates the identification of TCP streams having any
|
||
of opening or closing handshakes, a payload, in any combination. It is accessed with the new tcp.completeness filter.
|
||
|
||
* Protobuf fields that are not serialized on the wire (missing in capture files) can now be displayed with default values
|
||
by setting the new 'add_default_value' preference. The default values might be explicitly declared in 'proto2' files,
|
||
or false for bools, first value for enums, zero for numeric types.
|
||
|
||
* Wireshark now supports reading Event Tracing for Windows (ETW). A new extcap named ETW reader is created that now can open an etl file, convert all
|
||
events in the file to DLT_ETW packets and write to a specified FIFO destination. Also, a new packet_etw dissector is
|
||
created to dissect DLT_ETW packets so Wireshark can display the DLT_ETW packet header, its message and packet_etw dissector
|
||
calls packet_mbim sub_dissector if its provider matches the MBIM provider GUID.

== File Locations

These locations vary from platform to platform.
