Adds a checkbox 'Automatic Update' to the IO Graph to enable or disable
rescans and recalculation of graph data temporarily. This is useful when
you want to modify settings of multiple graphs without triggering a rescan
with every change of a single setting. This becomes useful for large trace
files in particular.
Rescan or recalculation events are queued while 'Automatic Update' is not
active. Checking 'Automatic Update' triggers the queued updates.
The setting for 'Automatic Update' is stored in a preference.
A german translation for 'Automatic Update' is included.
This header was installed incorrectly to epan/wmem_scopes.h.
Instead of creating additional installation rules for a single
header in a subfolder (kept for backward compatibility) just
rename the standard "epan/wmem/wmem.h" include to
"epan/wmem_scopes.h" and fix the documentation.
Now the header is installed *correctly* to epan/wmem_scopes.h.
Experience has shown that:
1. The current logging methods are not very reliable or practical.
A logging bitmask makes little sense as the user-facing interface (who
would want debug but not crtical messages for example?); it's
computer-friendly and user-unfriendly. More importantly the console
log level preference is initialized too late in the startup process
to be used for the logging subsystem and that fact raises a number
of annoying and hard-to-fix usability issues.
2. Coding around G_MESSAGES_DEBUG to comply with our log level mask
and not clobber the user's settings or not create unexpected log misses
is unworkable and generally follows the principle of most surprise.
The fact that G_MESSAGES_DEBUG="all" can leak to other programs using
GLib is also annoying.
3. The non-structured GLib logging API is very opinionated and lacks
configurability beyond replacing the log handler.
4. Windows GUI has some special code to attach to a console,
but it would be nice to abstract away the rest under a single
interface.
5. Using this logger seems to be noticeably faster.
Deprecate the console log level preference and extend our API to
implement a log handler in wsutil/wslog.h to provide easy-to-use,
flexible and dependable logging during all execution phases.
Log levels have a hierarchy, from most verbose to least verbose
(debug to error). When a given level is set everything above that
is also enabled.
The log level can be set with an environment variable or a command
line option (parsed as soon as possible but still later than the
environment). The default log level is "message".
Dissector logging is not included because it is not clear what log
domain they should use. An explosion to thousands of domains is
not desirable and putting everything in a single domain is probably
too coarse and noisy. For now I think it makes sense to let them do
their own thing using g_log_default_handler() and continue using the
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG mechanism with specific domains for each individual
dissector.
In the future a mechanism may be added to selectively enable these
domains at runtime while trying to avoid the problems introduced
by G_MESSAGES_DEBUG.
Default to taking the VLAN ID into account when reassembling only
for private IPv4 addresses as defined by RFC 1918 and for link-local
addresses. Otherwise, do not take the VLAN ID into account unless
the "Enable stricter conversation tracking heuristics" preference
is enabled. Fixes#14356.
prefs_set_pref should allow the value of a preference argument set with
'-o pref:value' to be an empty string. Some of the types, like string
and range preferences, can and should be set to empty strings in some
cases. For types that wish to reject empty strings as a syntax error,
that can happen later in set_pref based on type, as already done for
PREF_UINT. Fixes#17199
New advanced settings are created:
- rtp_player_use_disk1 - controls if decoded samples are stored in
memory or on disk.
- rtp_player_use_disk2 - controls if dictionary for decoded samples
is stored in memory or on disk.
- documentation updated
At times the presence of the packet-list hover_style colorization can make
it difficult to determine the state of the packet directly under the mouse
cursor. This forces the user to move the mouse cursor away from the
packet-list row to reveal the next colorization state. The packet-list row
colorization style precedence, from highest to lowest, is: hover_style,
Selected, Ignored, Marked and then coloring rules.
This patch adds a new 'Packet List settings:' checkbox option 'Enable
mouse-over colorization'. By default the supporting preference
`gui.packet_list_hover_style.enabled` will be enabled (TRUE). When this
checkbox is disabled, the packet-list hover_style (mouse-over)
colorization will not be used.
In our first pass through our options, look for ones that might require
extcap. Call extcap_register_preferences() only when that's the case.
Warn about missing extcap preferences only when we've loaded them.
Preferences are extended with advanced settings:
gui.decimal_places1 - 2
gui.decimal_places2 - 4
gui.decimal_places3 - 6
rtp_analysis_dialog, rtp_player_dialog and rtp_stream_dialog uses new settings
for formating numbers. Same information in all dialogs uses same settings.
It solves request #15481.
Note: Other UI dialogs can be adapted later.
Adds a pre-commit hook for detecting and replacing
occurrences of `g_malloc()` and `wmem_alloc()` with
`g_new()` and `wmem_new()`, to improve the
readability of Wireshark's code, and
occurrences of
`g_malloc(sizeof(struct myobj) * foo)`
with
`g_new(struct myobj, foo)`
to prevent integer overflows
Also fixes all existing occurrences across
the codebase.
Move the maximum number of tree items and maximum tree depth to
preferences instead of hardcoded values. Refer to issue #12584 for
an example VNC capture where real data exceeds the current limit.
Add a new top-level view that shows each packet as a series of diagrams
similar to what you'd find in a networking textook or an RFC.
Add proto_item_set_bits_offset_len so that we can display some diagram
fields correctly.
Bugs / to do:
- Make this a separate dialog instead of a main window view?
- Handle bitfields / flags

"prefs_reset" function), but is not reinitialized (because the
reinit_http function was not called).
A similar issue exists in the Kafka, UAUDP, VNC, TFTP, Gopher and TDS

start "wireshark -r vnc-sample.pcap -ovnc.tcp.port:1" and switch
