Wireshark 1.99.0 Release Notes
This is an experimental release intended to test new features for the
next stable release.
__________________________________________________________________
What is Wireshark?
Wireshark is the world's most popular network protocol analyzer. It is
used for troubleshooting, analysis, development and education.
__________________________________________________________________
What's New
Bug Fixes
The following bugs have been fixed:
* "On-the-wire" packet lengths are limited to 65535 bytes. ([1]Bug
8808, ws-buglink:9390)
* "Follow TCP Stream" shows only the first HTTP req+res. ([2]Bug
9044)
* Files with pcap-ng Simple Packet Blocks can't be read. ([3]Bug
9200)
* MPLS-over-PPP isn't recognized. ([4]Bug 9492)
New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
since version 1.12.0:
* The I/O Graph in the Gtk+ UI now supports an unlimited number of
data points (up from 100k).
* tshark now resets its state when changing files in ring-buffer
mode.
* Expert Info severities can now be configured.
* Qt port:
+ A Polish translation has been added.
+ The Interfaces dialog has been added.
+ The interface list is now updated when interfaces appear or
disappear.
+ The Conversations dialog has been added.
+ A Japanese translation has been added.
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
since version 1.11.3:
* Transport name resolution is now disabled by default.
* Support has been added for all versions of the DCBx protocol.
* Cleanup of LLDP code, all dissected fields are now navigable.
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. It managed to swallow up
the User Specified Decodes dialog as well.
+ The Export PDU 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 I/O Graph dialog has been added.
+ French translation has updated.
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.
* 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.
* Expert information is now filterable when the new API is in use.
* 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.
* The Kerberos dissector has been replaced with an auto generated one
from ASN1 protocol description, changing a lot of filter names.
New Protocol Support
corosync/totemnet, corosync/totemsrp, Generic Network Virtualization
Encapsulation (Geneve), IPMI Trace, iSER, and OptoMMP
Updated Protocol Support
Too many protocols have been updated to list here.
New and Updated Capture File Support
Major API Changes
The libwireshark API has undergone some major changes:
* Many of the ep_ and se_ memory allocation routines have been
removed.
* The (long-since-broken) Python bindings support has been removed
from Wireshark. If you want to write dissectors in something other
than C, use Lua.
__________________________________________________________________
Getting Wireshark
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
[5]http://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
Vendor-supplied Packages
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 [6]download page on the Wireshark web site.
__________________________________________________________________
File Locations
Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for preference
files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries. These locations
vary from platform to platform. You can use About->Folders to find the
default locations on your system.
__________________________________________________________________
Known Problems
Dumpcap might not quit if Wireshark or TShark crashes. ([7]Bug 1419)
The BER dissector might infinitely loop. ([8]Bug 1516)
