1 = Wireshark wireshark-version:[] Release Notes
6 Wireshark is the world's most popular network protocol analyzer. It is
7 used for troubleshooting, analysis, development and education.
13 The following bugs have been fixed:
16 //* ws-buglink:6000[Wireshark bug]
17 //* cve-idlink:2013-2486[]
18 //* Wireshark always manages to score tickets for Burning Man, Coachella, and SXSW while you end up working double shifts. (ws-buglink:0000[])
20 * "On-the-wire" packet lengths are limited to 65535 bytes. (ws-buglink:8808[], ws-buglink:9390)
21 * "Follow TCP Stream" shows only the first HTTP req+res. (ws-buglink:9044[])
22 * Files with pcap-ng Simple Packet Blocks can't be read. (ws-buglink:9200[])
24 === New and Updated Features
26 The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
29 * Wireshark now uses the Qt application framework. The new UI should provide
30 a significantly better user experience, particularly on Mac OS X and Windows.
31 * A more flexible, modular memory manger (wmem) has been added. It was available
32 experimentally in 1.10 but is now mature and has mostly replaced the old API.
33 * Expert info is now filterable and now requires a new API.
34 * The Windows installer now uninstalls the previous version of Wireshark
35 silently. You can still run the uninstaller manually beforehand if you wish
36 to run it interactively.
37 * The "Number" column shows related packets and protocol conversation spans
39 * When manipulating packets with editcap using the -C <choplen> and/or
40 -s <snaplen> options, it is now possible to also adjust the original frame
41 length using the -L option.
42 * You can now pass the -C <choplen> option to editcap multiple times, which
43 allows you to chop bytes from the beginning of a packet as well as at the end
44 of a packet in a single step.
45 * You can now specify an optional offset to the -C option for editcap, which
46 allows you to start chopping from that offset instead of from the absolute
47 packet beginning or end.
48 * "malformed" display filter has been renamed to "_ws.malformed". A handful of
49 other filters have been given the "_ws." prefix to note they are Wireshark
50 application specific filters and not dissector filters.
52 === New Protocol Support
70 MP4 / ISOBMFF file format
73 Picture Transfer Protocol Over IP
74 QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections)
75 SEL RTAC (Real Time Automation Controller) EIA-232 Serial-Line Dissection
86 === Updated Protocol Support
88 Too many protocols have been updated to list here.
90 === New and Updated Capture File Support
101 Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
102 http://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
104 === Vendor-supplied Packages
106 Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark packages. You can
107 usually install or upgrade Wireshark using the package management system
108 specific to that platform. A list of third-party packages can be found
109 on the http://www.wireshark.org/download.html#thirdparty[download page]
110 on the Wireshark web site.
114 Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for preference
115 files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries. These locations vary
116 from platform to platform. You can use About→Folders to find the default
117 locations on your system.
121 Dumpcap might not quit if Wireshark or TShark crashes.
124 The BER dissector might infinitely loop.
127 Capture filters aren't applied when capturing from named pipes.
130 Filtering tshark captures with read filters (-R) no longer works.
133 The 64-bit Windows installer does not support Kerberos decryption.
134 (https://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/Win64[Win64 development page])
136 Resolving (ws-buglink:9044[]) reopens (ws-buglink:3528[]) so that Wireshark
137 no longer automatically decodes gzip data when following a TCP stream.
139 Application crash when changing real-time option.
142 Hex pane display issue after startup.
145 Packet list rows are oversized.
148 Summary pane selected frame highlighting not maintained.
151 Wireshark and TShark will display incorrect delta times in some cases.
154 The 64-bit Mac OS X installer doesn't support Mac OS X 10.9 (ws-buglink:9242[])
