NEWS got updated again. This shows two inconsistencies how

Gerald's and my machine generate this file:
- Line width seems to be different
- We use different time zones.
Is there a way to make at least the first point consistent?

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.

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.

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* The Kerberos hand made dissector has been replaced by one generated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.

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.
