Wireshark 4.1.0 Release Notes
|
||
|
||
This is an experimental release intended to test new features for
|
||
Wireshark 4.2.
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
Wireshark is now better about generating valid UTF-8 output.
|
||
|
||
Many other improvements have been made. See the “New and Updated
|
||
Features” section below for more details.
|
||
|
||
Bug Fixes
|
||
|
||
The following bugs have been fixed:
|
||
|
||
• Issue 18413[1] - RTP player do not play audio frequently on Win32
|
||
builds with Qt6
|
||
|
||
New and Updated Features
|
||
|
||
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
||
since version 4.0.0:
|
||
|
||
• The API has been updated to ensure that the dissection engine
|
||
produces valid UTF-8 strings.
|
||
|
||
• Wireshark now builds with Qt6 by default. To use Qt5 instead pass
|
||
USE_qt6=OFF to CMake.
|
||
|
||
Removed Features and Support
|
||
|
||
• The experimental display filter syntax for literals using angle
|
||
brackets <…> that was introduced in Wireshark 4.0.0 has been
|
||
removed. For byte arrays a colon prefix can be used instead. See
|
||
the User’s Guide[2] for details.
|
||
|
||
New Protocol Support
|
||
|
||
SAP Network Interface (SAPNI)
|
||
|
||
Updated Protocol Support
|
||
|
||
• The JSON dissector now has a preference to enable/disable
|
||
"unescaping" of string values. By default it is off. Previously
|
||
it was always on.
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
https://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 download page[3] 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 "Help › About
|
||
Wireshark › Folders" or `tshark -G folders` to find the default
|
||
locations on your system.
|
||
|
||
