 What's New
 
-  New and Updated Features
+   Many user interface improvements have been made. See the New and
+   Updated Features section below for more details.
 
-   The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
-   since version 2.1.0:
-     * Added -d option for Decode As support in Wireshark (mimics TShark
-       functionality)
-     * The Qt UI, GTK+ UI, and TShark can now export packets as JSON.
-       TShark can additionally export packets as Elasticsearch-compatible
-       JSON.
-     * The Qt UI now supports the -j, -J, and -l flags. The -m flag is now
-       deprecated.
-     * The Conversations and Endpoints dialogs are more responsive when
-       viewing large numbers of items.
-     * The RTP player now allows up to 30 minutes of silence frames.
-     * Packet bytes can now be displayed as EBCDIC.
-     * The Qt UI loads captures faster on Windows.
+  New and Updated Features
 
    The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
-   since version 2.0.0:
-     * The intelligent scroll bar now sits to the left of a normal scroll
-       bar and provides a clickable map of nearby packets.
-     * You can now switch between between Capture and File Format
-       dissection of the current capture file via the View menu in the Qt
-       GUI.
-     * You can now show selected packet bytes as ASCII, HTML, Image, ISO
-       8859-1, Raw, UTF-8, a C array, or YAML.
-     * You can now use regular expressions in Find Packet and in the
-       advanced preferences.
-     * Name resolution for packet capture now supports asynchronous DNS
-       lookups only. Therefore the "concurrent DNS resolution" preference
-       has been deprecated and is a no-op. To enable DNS name resolution
-       some build dependencies must be present (currently c-ares). If that
-       is not the case DNS name resolution will be disabled (but other
-       name resolution mechanisms, such as host files, are still
-       available).
-     * The byte under the mouse in the Packet Bytes pane is now
-       highlighted.
-     * TShark supports exporting PDUs via the -U flag.
-     * The Windows and OS X installers now come with the "sshdump" and
-       "ciscodump" extcap interfaces.
-     * Most dialogs in the Qt UI now save their size and positions.
-     * The Follow Stream dialog now supports UTF-16.
-     * The Firewall ACL Rules dialog has returned.
-     * The Flow (Sequence) Analysis dialog has been improved.
-     * We no longer provide packages for 32-bit versions of OS X.
-     * The Bluetooth Device details dialog has been added.
-
-  New File Format Decoding Support
-
-   Wireshark is able to display the format of some types of files (rather
-   than displaying the contents of those files). This is useful when
-   you're curious about, or debugging, a file and its format. To open a
-   capture file (such as PCAP) in this mode specify "MIME Files Format" as
-   the file's format in the Open File dialog.
-
-   New files that Wireshark can open in this mode include:
+   since version 2.4.0:
+     * Display filter buttons can now be edited, disabled, and removed via
+       a context menu directly from the toolbar
+     * Drag & Drop filter fields to the display filter toolbar or edit to
+       create a button on the fly or apply the filter as a display filter.
+     * Application startup time has been reduced.
+     * Some keyboard shortcut mix-ups have been resolved by assigning new
+       shortcuts to Edit -> Copy methods.
+     * TShark now supports color using the --color option.
+     * The "matches" display filter operator is now case-insensitive.
+     * Display expression (button) preferences have been converted to a
+       UAT. This puts the display expressions in their own file. Wireshark
+       still supports preference files that contain the old preferences,
+       but new preference files will be written without the old fields.
+     * SMI private enterprise numbers are now read from the
+       "enterprises.tsv" configuration file.
+     * The QUIC dissector has been renamed to Google QUIC (quic -> gquic).
+     * The selected packet number can now be shown in the Status Bar by
+       enabling Preferences -> Appearance -> Layout -> Show selected
+       packet number.
+     * File load time in the Status Bar is now disabled by default and can
+       be enabled in Preferences -> Appearance -> Layout -> Show file load
+       time.
+     * Support for the G.729A codec in the RTP Player is now added via the
+       bcg729 library.
+     * Support for hardware-timestamping of packets has been added.
+     * Improved NetMon .cap support with comments, event tracing, network
+       filter, network info types and some Message Analyzer exported
+       types.
+     * The personal plugins folder on Linux/Unix is now
+       ~/.local/lib/wireshark/plugins.
+     * TShark can print flow graphs using -z flow...
+     * Capinfos now prints SHA256 hashes in addition to RIPEMD160 and
+       SHA1. MD5 output has been removed.
+     * The packet editor has been removed. (This was a GTK+ only
+       experimental feature.)
+     * Support BBC micro:bit Bluetooth profile
+     * The Linux and UNIX installation step for Wireshark will now install
+       headers required to build plugins. A pkg-config file is provided to
+       help with this (see doc/plugins.example for details). Note you must
+       still rebuild all plugins between minor releases (X.Y).
+     * The Windows installers and packages now ship with Qt 5.9.4.

-     * "old style" dissector functions (that don't return number of bytes
-       used) have been replaced in name with the "new style" dissector
-       functions.
-     * tvb_get_string and tvb_get_stringz have been replaced with
