@ -29,42 +29,22 @@ A new display filter feature for filtering raw bytes has been added.
|
|||
|
||||
Display filter autocomplete is smarter about not suggesting invalid syntax.
|
||||
|
||||
menu:Tools[Lua Scripts,Launch with SSLKEYLOGFILE] can launch your web browser with the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable set to the appropriate value.
|
||||
New GUI dialog (under Tools menu) to lookup a MAC address in the IEEE OUI registry.
|
||||
|
||||
The personal extcap plugin folder location on Unix has been changed to
|
||||
follow existing conventions for architecture-dependent files.
|
||||
The extcap personal folder is now ``$HOME/.local/lib/wireshark/extcap``.
|
||||
Previously it was ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wireshark/extcap``.
|
||||
Some external text files have been compiled in for improved start-up times.
|
||||
|
||||
The installation target no longer installs development headers by default.
|
||||
That must be done explicitly using ``cmake --install <builddir> --component Development``.
|
||||
|
||||
The Wireshark installation is relocatable on Linux (and other ELF platforms
|
||||
with support for relative RPATHs).
|
||||
|
||||
Support for building an NSIS Windows installer using the MinGW-w64 toolchain
|
||||
and https://www.msys2.org/[MSYS2]. Read README.msys2 in the distribution for more information.
|
||||
Wireshark can be compiled on Windows using https://www.msys2.org/[MSYS2].
|
||||
Check the Developer's guide for instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
When changing the dissector via the Decode As table for values that
|
||||
have default dissectors registered, selecting "(none)" will select
|
||||
no dissection (while still allowing heuristic dissectors to attempt to
|
||||
dissect.) The previous behavior was to reset the dissector to the default.
|
||||
To facilitate resetting the dissector, the default dissector is now sorted
|
||||
at the top of the list of possible dissector options.
|
||||
Support for building a Windows installer using Linux cross-compilation.
|
||||
Check the Developer's guide for instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
Packet list sorting has been updated:
|
||||
* When sorting packet list with a filter applied, only the visible packets are
|
||||
sorted, which greatly increases sorting speed.
|
||||
* The cache size for column text is limited to a default of 10000 rows,
|
||||
which limits the maximum memory usage. The maximum value can be changed in
|
||||
Preferences->Appearance->Layout
|
||||
* Due to the above, columns that require packet dissection can only be sorted
|
||||
if the number of visible rows is less than the cache size. If there are
|
||||
more rows visible, a warning will appear. Columns that do not require packet
|
||||
dissection (those that calculated directly from the capture file frame
|
||||
headers, such as packet number, time, and frame length) can be sorted with
|
||||
any number of visible rows.
|
||||
* Sorting can be interrupted.
|
||||
Packet list sorting has been updated.
|
||||
|
||||
Many other improvements have been made.

* Display filter syntax-related changes:
|
||||
|
||||
** It is now possible to filter on raw packet data for any field by using the syntax ``@some.field == <bytes...>``.
|
||||
This can be useful to filter on malformed UTF-8 strings, among other use cases where it is necessary to
|
||||
look at the field's raw data.
|
||||
|
||||
** Negation (unary minus) now works with any display filter arithmetic expression.
|
||||
|
||||
** Using the slice operator with strings produces a string. Previously it
|
||||
would produce a byte array. This is useful to index/slice UTF-8 multibyte strings.
|
||||
String byte slices can still be obtained using the "@" (raw operator) prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
** Arithmetic expressions are allowed as set elements.
|
||||
|
||||
** Absolute date and time values can be written as Unix time.
|
||||
|
||||
** The limitation where a minus sign needed to be preceded by a space character
|
||||
has been removed.
|
||||
|
||||
** Added XOR logical operator.
|
||||
|
||||
** Fixed the implementation of `all ... in` membership operator
|
||||
(https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/issues/19188[#19188]).
|
||||
|
||||
** The deprecated ~≃ operator symbol has been removed. It was replaced by !== in version 4.0.

version of the COL_ name found in epan/column-utils.h, e.g. "_ws.col.info"

can be achieved via other fields, prefer that.
