Wireshark 4.3.0 Release Notes
|
||
|
||
This is an experimental release intended to test new features for
|
||
Wireshark 4.4.
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
Improved display filter support for value strings (optional string
|
||
representations for numeric fields).
|
||
|
||
New and Updated Features
|
||
|
||
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
||
since version 4.2.0:
|
||
|
||
• Display filter syntax-related enhancements:
|
||
|
||
• Better handling of comparisons with value strings. Now the
|
||
display filter engine can correctly handle cases where multiple
|
||
different numeric values map to the same value string, including
|
||
but not limited to range-type value strings.
|
||
|
||
• Fields with value strings now support regular expression
|
||
matching.
|
||
|
||
• Binary plugins can be placed on the root of the versioned
|
||
personal plugins folder or any subfolder one level below that.
|
||
The global and personal binary plugins folder no longer have to
|
||
obey to any particular hierarchical structure.
|
||
|
||
New Protocol Support
|
||
|
||
Updated Protocol Support
|
||
|
||
Too many protocol updates have been made to list them all here.
|
||
|
||
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[1] 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.
|
||
|
