= Wireshark {wireshark-version} Release Notes
|
|
// AsciiDoc quick reference: http://powerman.name/doc/asciidoc
|
|
|
|
This is a semi-experimental release intended to test new features for
|
|
Wireshark 2.6.
|
|
|
|
== 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
|
|
|
|
//=== Bug Fixes
|
|
|
|
//The following bugs have been fixed:

|
|
=== New and Updated Features
|
|
|
|
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
|
since version 2.4.0:
|
|
* Add color support for TShark with --color option (non-Windows only).
|
|
* The "matches" display filter operator is now case-insensitive.
|
|
* Display expression (button) preferences have been converted to a UAT.
|
|
This puts the display expressions in their own file. Wireshark still
|
|
supports preference files that contain the old preferences, but new
|
|
preference files will be written without the old fields.
|
|
* SMI private enterprise numbers are now read from the "enterprises.tsv" configuration file.
|
|
* QUIC dissector is renamed to G(oogle) QUIC (quic => gquic).
|
|
* Selected packet number can now be shown in the Status Bar by enabling
|
|
Preferences -> Appearance -> Layout -> Show selected packet number.
|
|
* File load time in Status Bar is now disabled by default and can be enabled in
|
|
Preferences -> Appearance -> Layout -> Show file load time.
|
|
* Support for G.729 codec in the RTP Player (via the bcg729 library).
|
|
* Support for hardware-timestamping of packets
|
|

|
== 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.

|
