Wireshark 3.1.1 Release Notes
This is an experimental release intended to test new features for
Wireshark 3.2.
What is Wireshark?
Wireshark is the worlds most popular network protocol analyzer. It is
used for troubleshooting, analysis, development and education.
Whats New
Many improvements have been made. See the “New and Updated Features”
section below for more details.
New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
since version 3.1.0:
• You can once again mark and unmark packets using the middle mouse
button. This feature went missing around 2009 or so.
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
since version 3.0.0:
• Drag&Drop a field to a column header to create a column for that
field, or to the display filter input to create a display filter.
If a display filter is applied, the new filter can be added using
the same rules as "Apply Filter"
• Drag&Drop a column entry to the display filter to create a filter
for it
• Import profiles from a .zip archive or an existing directory
• Dark mode support on macOS and dark theme support on other
platforms has been improved.
• Brotli decompression support in HTTP/HTTP2 (requires the brotli
library).
• The build system now checks for a SpeexDSP system library
installation. The bundled Speex resampler code is still provided
as a fallback.
• WireGuard decryption can now be enabled through keys embedded in
a pcapng in addition to the existing key log preference (Bug
15571[1]).
• A new tap for extracting credentials from the capture file has
been added. It can be accessed through the "-z credentials"
option in tshark or from the "tools" menu in Wireshark.
• Editcap can now split files on floating point intervals.

installers are still dual-signed using SHA-1 and SHA-2.
