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)
28 + The About dialog has been added
29 + The Capture Interfaces dialog has been added.
30 + The Decode As dialog has been added.
31 + Several SCTP dialogs have been added.
32 + The statistics tree (the backend for many Statistics and
33 Telephony menu items) dialog has been added.
34 + In Windows Installer (NSIS), it is possible to associate file with
35 Wireshark Qt and select icons to be installed
37 The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
39 * Mac OS X packaging has been improved.
41 The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
43 * Dissector output may be encoded as UTF-8. This includes TShark
46 + The Follow Stream dialog now supports packet and TCP stream
48 + A Flow Graph (sequence diagram) dialog has been added.
49 + The main window now respects geometry preferences.
51 The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
53 * Wireshark now uses the Qt application framework. The new UI should
54 provide a significantly better user experience, particularly on Mac
56 * A more flexible, modular memory manger (wmem) has been added. It
57 was available experimentally in 1.10 but is now mature and has
58 mostly replaced the old API.
59 * Expert info is now filterable and now requires a new API.
60 * The Windows installer now uninstalls the previous version of
61 Wireshark silently. You can still run the uninstaller manually
62 beforehand if you wish to run it interactively.
63 * The "Number" column shows related packets and protocol conversation
65 * When manipulating packets with editcap using the -C <choplen>
66 and/or -s <snaplen> options, it is now possible to also adjust the
67 original frame length using the -L option.
68 * You can now pass the -C <choplen> option to editcap multiple times,
69 which allows you to chop bytes from the beginning of a packet as
70 well as at the end of a packet in a single step.
71 * You can now specify an optional offset to the -C option for
72 editcap, which allows you to start chopping from that offset
73 instead of from the absolute packet beginning or end.
74 * "malformed" display filter has been renamed to "_ws.malformed". A
75 handful of other filters have been given the "_ws." prefix to note
76 they are Wireshark application specific filters and not dissector
