+ New and Updated Features
- o The ISUP statistics report could overflow a buffer and crash
- when displaying IPv6 addresses.
+ The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
+ since version 1.11.2:
+ * Qt port:
+ + The About dialog has been added
+ + The Capture Interfaces dialog has been added.
+ + The Decode As dialog has been added.
+ + Several SCTP dialogs have been added.
+ + The statistics tree (the backend for many Statistics and
+ Telephony menu items) dialog has been added.
+
+ The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
+ since version 1.11.1:
+ * Mac OS X packaging has been improved.
+
+ The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
+ since version 1.11.0:
+ * Dissector output may be encoded as UTF-8. This includes TShark
+ output.
+ * Qt port:
+ + The Follow Stream dialog now supports packet and TCP stream
+ selection.
+ + A Flow Graph (sequence diagram) dialog has been added.
+ + The main window now respects geometry preferences.
+
+ The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
+ since version 1.10:
+ * Wireshark now uses the Qt application framework. The new UI should
+ provide a significantly better user experience, particularly on Mac
+ OS X and Windows.
+ * A more flexible, modular memory manger (wmem) has been added. It
+ was available experimentally in 1.10 but is now mature and has
+ mostly replaced the old API.
+ * Expert info is now filterable and now requires a new API.
+ * The Windows installer now uninstalls the previous version of
+ Wireshark silently. You can still run the uninstaller manually
+ beforehand if you wish to run it interactively.
+ * The "Number" column shows related packets and protocol conversation
+ spans (Qt only).
+ * When manipulating packets with editcap using the -C <choplen>
+ and/or -s <snaplen> options, it is now possible to also adjust the
+ original frame length using the -L option.
+ * You can now pass the -C <choplen> option to editcap multiple times,
+ which allows you to chop bytes from the beginning of a packet as
+ well as at the end of a packet in a single step.
+ * You can now specify an optional offset to the -C option for
+ editcap, which allows you to start chopping from that offset
+ instead of from the absolute packet beginning or end.
+ * "malformed" display filter has been renamed to "_ws.malformed". A
+ handful of other filters have been given the "_ws." prefix to note
+ they are Wireshark application specific filters and not dissector
+ filters.
+
+ Removed dissectors
+
+ * The ASN1 plugin has been removed as it's deemed obsolete.
+ * The GNM dissector has been removed as it was never used.

- now default to "My Documents" in accordance with Microsoft's
- HIG.
+ Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from

- Windows) has been enhanced to allow capturing on multiple
- AirPcap adapters simultaneously.

- change). The last version known to work on these systems is
- [16]Ethereal 0.99.0.
+ 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 [5]download page on the Wireshark web site.
+ __________________________________________________________________
- o ASN.1 BER-encoded files can now be dissected according to a
- user-specified syntax.
+File Locations
