= Wireshark 1.9.1 Release Notes
== 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:
//* ws-buglink:5000
//* cve-idlink:2013-2486
=== New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
since version 1.8:
* Wireshark on 32- and 64-bit Windows supports automatic updates.
* The packet bytes view is faster.
* You can now display a list of resolved host names in "hosts" format
within Wireshark.
* The wireless toolbar has been updated.
* Wireshark on Linux does a better job of detecting interface addition
and removal.
* It is now possible to compare two fields in a display filter (for
example: udp.srcport != udp.dstport). The two fields must be of the same
type for this to work.
* The main welcome screen and status bar now display file sizes using
strict SI prefixes instead of old-style binary prefixes.
* Capinfos now prints human-readable statistics with SI suffixes by
default.

=== Updated Protocol Support
Too many protocols have been updated to list here.
=== New and Updated Capture File Support

== Getting Wireshark
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
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 http://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.
