2024-02-25doc: remove redundant sectionEugène Adell1-4/+0
2024-02-23dfilter: Add functions to override field baseJohn Thacker1-0/+2
Add field expression functions to convert unsigned integer and char fields to hex or decimal. (BASE_OCT is handled somewhat different currently now, presumably because it can't be used in filters, so leave that commented until it is handled as a display representation.) Currently string() always converts unsigned integers to their decimal representation so it is the same as dec(), but possibly in the future string() might use the native base. These can be used in columns thanks to the fix for #15990 Fix #5308

2024-02-14Stats tree: Change our path separatorGerald Combs1-1/+1
Change our menu path separator to "//" similar to our filter buttons. Change the "name" configuration element to "path", since it's a menu path. Add a separate "title" element. This lets us use names like "Foo I/O".
2024-02-07Logray: UI updatesGerald Combs2-5/+5
Change some instances of "packet" to "event" in Logray's menu items. Remove "Export Objects" and "Export PDUs" and associated code. Remove the packet diagram menu items and associated code. Remove the "Decode as" menu items and associated code. Use "Selected" instead of the parenthetical plural "Packet(s)" for marking and ignoring. Remove an attempt at plural translation which apparently doesn't work if we don't have a "%n" in the translation string.
2024-02-04Qt: Add delta times to the follow dialog text formatsGerald Combs1-2/+4
When showing the follow data as text (ASCII, UTF-8, EBCDIC, etc), add a newline at each turn. Add the ability to show delta times between packets and turns. Add a recent setting for delta times. Make the initial dialog a bit wider. Save and restore our scoll position when reading a stream. Manually connect our signals and slots. Fix some clazy warnings.
2024-01-31WSUG: update Service Response Time support listJoakim Karlsson1-0/+2
2024-01-30MATE: Update examplesJohn Thacker1-3/+3
Fix the distributed examples to use the "new" style configuration, as shown in the WSUG and Wiki. Fix the FTP example in the WSUG, as it's missing the Match keyword Related to #12118. Fix #16940
2024-01-29File sets: Match both formats, compressed filesJohn Thacker1-3/+6
For file sets produced by multiple file captures, match both the number before time and the newer time before number format. Distinguish them in the return value, since files of different formats are not part of the same set. Also handle files with a compression suffix as well, as we can produce that in captures. Since in multi file captures compression is done when switching files, allow file sets to have a mixture of files compressed and uncompressed. When doing a multi file capture and compressing, the last file is not compressed. Add information to the user guide and release notes Related to #12371
2024-01-24dfilter: Allow semicolons to separate macro name from arg listJohn Thacker1-1/+7
Instead of requiring ${macro:arg1;...;argN}, allow the format ${macro;arg1;...;argN}. The semicolon isn't used anywhere else, it's simple to support, and already used in the macro syntax. It's easier to remember if all the separators in a macro are the same. The colon is allowed in literals, which is why it's not used between the arguments in the macro argument list, and allowing it after the name makes the grammar more complicated, including tokenizing when having pop-ups of potential field matches in the display filter line edit (#19499.) Update the documentation for this. Also edit the documentation for macro syntax in a few places where it implies that whitespace in macro arguments would be ignored; in fact, it's significant.
2024-01-21tools: Add an installation prefix option to macos-setup.shGerald Combs1-0/+1
Add a `-p` option, which lets you specify an installation prefix for software libraries. Ruby gems and Python modules (Asciidoctor and pytest) still install into their default locations. [skip ci]

2023-12-14Remove version component from plugin pathJoão Valverde1-6/+10
Remove the major.minor version from the plugin path, i.e: lib/plugins/X.Y/{epan,wiretap,codecs} and use an unversioned path: lib/plugins/{epan,wiretap,codecs} Introduce a new naming policy for plugins that requires name.so.ABI_VERSION. This is a simplified filesystem layoutfor plugins some important benefits such as: * improves compatibility between Wireshark versions, because a plugin that wasn't recompiled will be automatically picked up, but only if it has a compatible ABI version in the file name. * does not clash with Apple guidelines * simpler for users to understand and apply * just overall simpler and easier to maintain, removes a lot of complexity from CMake code It does impose more requirements on the plugin naming scheme but this should be handled completely transparently by the build system. It would also be possible to add support for unversioned *.so file extensions at the same time, although in ths case it is not possible to support multiple Wireshark ABI versions with only *.so, of course. This wasn't done here but it may or may not be a useful enhancement in the future. Follow-up to 90b16b40921b737aadf9186685d866fd80e37ee6.

The NSIS installer choices have been simplified, and Wireshark Foundation signs our official macOS packages.
2023-11-20Remove init of proto variablesStig Bjørlykke1-1/+1
Remove init of proto, header field, expert info and subtree variables. This will reduces the binary size by approximate 1266320 bytes due to using .bss to zero-initialize the fields. The conversion is done using the tools/convert-proto-init.py script.

2023-11-18docs: Alter FollowStreamSection anchorJohn Thacker1-1/+3
According to the Asciidoctor docs, we can assign multiple anchors to a section using this method, which still uses the modern shorthand syntax for the main anchor (the one that's been used for the last five years). We have to use the double square brackets for the additional anchor, though. https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/attributes/id/#add-additional-anchors-to-a-section Related to #17982
2023-11-18docs: Add Time Shift section to WSUGJohn Thacker3-0/+62

2023-11-12Qt: add command line options support in the TLS Keylog LauncherPeter Wu1-1/+1
Add support for command line parameters, rename the preference to match. Use the correct `SSLKEYLOGFILE` environment variable name in the text. Rename SSL to TLS, we are no longer in 1999. Clarify that applications other than browsers can be selected. Various dialog text improvements. Move the Launch button to the right to make it stand out more. Relates to #19471

Add a script to initialize static proto values to 0 instead of -1. This will save ~1MB static init code.
2023-11-01addr_resolv: Remove confusing "only use profile hosts" preferenceJohn Thacker1-3/+0
Once upon a time, Wireshark could use GNU ADNS instead of c-ares for asynchronous DNS lookups. GNU ADNS didn't check the system hosts file (see 51984de040b804ca6614830acc62c641cd6d8959), so we added the system hosts file using the same mechanism as profile paths when using ADNS. This was then confusing, because "use external DNS resolver / use system DNS resolving" could be off but /etc/hosts was still used, so the "only use profile hosts" option was created to avoid using external system DNS hostsnames at all. c-ares (and, for that matter, libunbound) does read /etc/hosts, so this option doesn't do its primary purpose anymore. All it usually does now is keep any hosts file in the global profile from being used, but we don't have any other name resolution options where there's a pref not to use global profile data. Even more confusingly, if the option is true, then the -H option to tshark to give a hosts file on the command line doesn't work. add_hosts_file checks the preference and then doesn't actually read the file from the command line, which is surely never wanted. Most people don't understand what the option means, despite the tooltip, and assume that it means "only use the hosts file as a source of name resolution data", not "when using hosts files as a source of name resolution data, only use the one from the personal profile and not any from the global profile, the tshark command line, or any other source." Just mark the option as obsolete. Related to #11470
2023-11-01WSUG: Mention the at operator and field referencesJohn Thacker3-8/+126
Describe the at operator and field references, taking some information from the wireshark-filter man page and expanding some. Create some cross-references between saved filters, filter buttons, display filter macros, and field references, because they're all useful to use with each other. Fix #17594
2023-10-31Use C99 instead of GLib types in doc+docbookDavid Perry2-18/+18
Ran `tools/convert-glib-types.py` over the files in `doc/` and `docbook/`, then manually checked/massaged/reverted results as appropriate. One small step towards addressing #19116
2023-10-31Qt: Rename the Browser SSL Keylog dialog to SSL Keylog LauncherGerald Combs1-0/+1
We can launch more than browsers.
2023-10-26doc: Fix the description of the "Raw" Follow Stream modeJohn Thacker1-3/+4
It doesn't "look the same as the ASCII setting," it's ASCII hex bytes instead of a text representation. Also note that the display has added line separators per packet, but saving it does not. [skip ci]

2023-10-17plugins: Add back a (flexible) folder type hierarchyJoão Valverde1-9/+10
Restore the type hierarchy for efficient loading of binary plugins. Do not recurse. Allow an exception for the root of the binary plugins folder. Scan this path also and skip incompatible plugins. This facilitates quick manual copying of plugins. Follow-up to ef836e9afecd30901ea68677867c69b520f87d6a.
