New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly
updated) since the last release:
o We are now offering Wireshark as a [14]U3 package for Windows.
U3 packages are suitable for using on USB drives and CD-ROMs.
It's still experimental, but you're welcome to try it out and
report any problems or successes.
o Decryption support for WPA/WPA2 and SNMPv3 has been added. The
TDS / MS SQL dissector now de-obfuscates passwords.
o 64-bit file handling has been improved.
o The Find function now selects the corresponding packet detail
item. Find functionality has been added to the TCP and SSL
stream dialogs.
o Main window keyboard navigation has been improved.
o Windows file dialogs now show the "places" bar (Desktop, My
Documents, My Computer, My Network Places, etc). File dialogs
now default to "My Documents" in accordance with Microsoft's
HIG.
o [15]AirPcap support (which provides raw mode capture under
Windows) has been enhanced to allow capturing on multiple
AirPcap adapters simultaneously.
o You can no longer install Wireshark on Windows 95, 98, or ME.
(OK, so it's not a feature per se, but it's an important
change). The last version known to work on these systems is
[16]Ethereal 0.99.0.
o ASN.1 BER-encoded files can now be dissected according to a
user-specified syntax.

Getting Wireshark
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
the [17]download page on the main web site.
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 [18]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.
Known Problems
The Filter button is nonfunctional in the file dialogs under
Windows. ([19]Bug 942)
Getting Help
Community support is available on the wireshark-users mailing
list. Subscription information and archives for all of Wireshark's
mailing lists can be found on [20]the web site.
