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)
28 + The Follow Stream dialog now supports packet and TCP stream
30 + A Flow Graph (sequence diagram) dialog has been added.
31 + The main window now respects geometry preferences.
33 The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
35 * Wireshark now uses the Qt application framework. The new UI should
36 provide a significantly better user experience, particularly on Mac
38 * A more flexible, modular memory manger (wmem) has been added. It
39 was available experimentally in 1.10 but is now mature and has
40 mostly replaced the old API.
41 * Expert info is now filterable and now requires a new API.
42 * The Windows installer now uninstalls the previous version of
43 Wireshark silently. You can still run the uninstaller manually
44 beforehand if you wish to run it interactively.
45 * The "Number" column shows related packets and protocol conversation
47 * When manipulating packets with editcap using the -C <choplen>
48 and/or -s <snaplen> options, it is now possible to also adjust the
49 original frame length using the -L option.
50 * You can now pass the -C <choplen> option to editcap multiple times,
51 which allows you to chop bytes from the beginning of a packet as
52 well as at the end of a packet in a single step.
53 * You can now specify an optional offset to the -C option for
54 editcap, which allows you to start chopping from that offset
55 instead of from the absolute packet beginning or end.
56 * "malformed" display filter has been renamed to "_ws.malformed". A
57 handful of other filters have been given the "_ws." prefix to note
58 they are Wireshark application specific filters and not dissector

82 Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
83 [4]http://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
85 Vendor-supplied Packages
87 Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark packages. You
88 can usually install or upgrade Wireshark using the package management
89 system specific to that platform. A list of third-party packages can be
90 found on the [5]download page on the Wireshark web site.
91 __________________________________________________________________
95 Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for preference
96 files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries. These locations
97 vary from platform to platform. You can use About->Folders to find the
98 default locations on your system.
