Add convenience targets for generating the release notes and the NEWS file. Make sure we don't run multiple instances of a2x + AsciiDoc at the same time. Add the docbook directory to the build by default unless we're running Windows. Explain why we don't yet build docs on Windows. Make each docbook makefile target optional. Split the ENABLE_GUIDES option into ENABLE_HTML_GUIDES and ENABLE_PDF_GUIDES. Add a default "all_guides" target if either is on. Remove the Debian patch that hacked around the PDF requirement. Copy ws.css to the docbook build directory. Don't build PDF release notes. I'm not sure we ever used them and I don't want to install Java and FOP just to make a release.

|
|
used for troubleshooting, analysis, development and education.

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).
|
|
+ A Polish translation has been added.
|

|
|
+ 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.
|
|
+ Most toolbar actions are in place and work.
|
|
+ More command line options are now supported

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.
