Some Release Notes cleanup. 

- Don't list bugs which were fixed in 1.12 as being fixed in 1.99. (We probably
  should add some bugs to the bugs-fixed list.)
- Remove new-features list for everything prior to 1.12 (so we only list
  improvements since 1.12).
- Fix bug link to bug 1814.
- Fix the wiki's URL (the wiki doesn't appear to support https today).
- Remove bugs 4445 and 9242 from the Known Problems list: they've been fixed.

+ The Interfaces dialog has been added.
+ The interface list is now updated when interfaces appear or
disappear.
+ The Conversations dialog has been added.
+ 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.
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
since version 1.11.3:
* Transport name resolution is now disabled by default.
* Support has been added for all versions of the DCBx protocol.
* Cleanup of LLDP code, all dissected fields are now navigable.
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
since version 1.11.2:
* Qt port:
+ The About dialog has been added
+ The Capture Interfaces dialog has been added.
+ The Decode As dialog has been added. It managed to swallow up
the User Specified Decodes dialog as well.
+ The Export PDU dialog has been added.
+ Several SCTP dialogs have been added.
+ The statistics tree (the backend for many Statistics and
Telephony menu items) dialog has been added.
+ The I/O Graph dialog has been added.

The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)

The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
since version 1.11.0:
* Dissector output may be encoded as UTF-8. This includes TShark
output.
* Qt port:
+ The Follow Stream dialog now supports packet and TCP stream
selection.
+ A Flow Graph (sequence diagram) dialog has been added.
+ The main window now respects geometry preferences.
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.
* You can now specify an optional offset to the -C option for
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.
* The Kerberos dissector has been replaced with an auto generated one
from ASN1 protocol description, changing a lot of filter names.
+ Most toolbar actions are in place and work.
+ More command line options are now supported
