2 Wireshark 1.11.1 Release Notes
3 __________________________________________________________________
7 Wireshark is the world's most popular network protocol analyzer. It is
8 used for troubleshooting, analysis, development and education.
9 __________________________________________________________________
15 The following bugs have been fixed:
16 * "On-the-wire" packet lengths are limited to 65535 bytes. ([1]Bug
17 8808, ws-buglink:9390)
18 * "Follow TCP Stream" shows only the first HTTP req+res. ([2]Bug
20 * Files with pcap-ng Simple Packet Blocks can't be read. ([3]Bug
23 New and Updated Features
25 The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
27 * Wireshark now uses the Qt application framework. The new UI should
28 provide a significantly better user experience, particularly on Mac
30 * A more flexible, modular memory manger (wmem) has been added. It
31 was available experimentally in 1.10 but is now mature and has
32 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
35 Wireshark silently. You can still run the uninstaller manually
36 beforehand if you wish to run it interactively.
37 * The "Number" column shows related packets and protocol conversation
39 * When manipulating packets with editcap using the -C <choplen>
40 and/or -s <snaplen> options, it is now possible to also adjust the
41 original frame length using the -L option.
42 * You can now pass the -C <choplen> option to editcap multiple times,
43 which allows you to chop bytes from the beginning of a packet as
44 well as at the end of a packet in a single step.
45 * You can now specify an optional offset to the -C option for
46 editcap, which allows you to start chopping from that offset
47 instead of from the absolute packet beginning or end.
48 * "malformed" display filter has been renamed to "_ws.malformed". A
49 handful of other filters have been given the "_ws." prefix to note
50 they are Wireshark application specific filters and not dissector

76 Vendor-supplied Packages
78 Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark packages. You
79 can usually install or upgrade Wireshark using the package management
80 system specific to that platform. A list of third-party packages can be
81 found on the [5]download page on the Wireshark web site.
82 __________________________________________________________________
86 Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for preference
87 files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries. These locations
88 vary from platform to platform. You can use About->Folders to find the
89 default locations on your system.
