|
|
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
2023-10-01 16:23:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
since version 4.2.0:
|
2023-07-30 19:52:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2023-10-01 16:23:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
• Display filter syntax-related enhancements:
|
2023-05-14 16:46:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2023-10-01 16:23:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
• Better handling of comparisons with value strings. Now the
|
|
|
|
|
display filter engine can correctly handle cases where multiple
|
|
|
|
|
different numeric values map to the same value string, including
|
|
|
|
|
but not limited to range-type value strings.
|

|
|
2023-10-01 16:23:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
• Fields with value strings now support regular expression
|
|
|
|
|
matching.

|
|
|
2018-12-12 23:25:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
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
|
2023-10-01 16:23:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
be found on the download page[1] on the Wireshark web site.

Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for
|
2018-12-12 23:25:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
preference files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries. These
|
2021-10-08 22:29:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
locations vary from platform to platform. You can use "Help › About
|
|
|
|
|
Wireshark › Folders" or `tshark -G folders` to find the default
|
|
|
|
|
locations on your system.
