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
|
|
[5]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 [6]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.
|
