This is an experimental release intended to test new features for
- Wireshark 3.0.
+ Wireshark 3.2.
What is Wireshark?
@@ -13,196 +13,32 @@ Wireshark 2.9.1 Release Notes
Many user interface improvements have been made. See the “New and
Updated Features” section below for more details.
- Bug Fixes
-
- The following bugs have been fixed:
-
- • Data following a TCP ZeroWindowProbe is marked as retransmission
- and not passed to subdissectors (Bug 15427[1])
-
- Text and Image columns were handled incorrectly for TDS 7.0 and 7.1.
- (Bug 3098[2])
-
- Dumpcap might not quit if Wireshark or TShark crashes. (Bug 1419[3])
-
New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
- since version 2.9.0:
-
- • Wireshark now supports the Swedish and Ukrainian language.
-
- • Initial support for using PKCS #11 tokens for RSA decryption in
- TLS. This can be configured at Preferences, RSA Keys.
-
- • The build system now produces reproducible builds (Bug 15163[4]).
-
- The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
- since version 2.6.0:
-
- • The Windows .exe installers now ship with Npcap instead of
- WinPcap.
-
- • Conversation timestamps are supported for UDP/UDP-Lite protocols
-
- • TShark now supports the -G elastic-mapping option which generates
- an ElasticSearch mapping file.
-
- • The “Capture Information” dialog has been added back (Bug
- 12004[5]).
-
- • The Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 dissectors no longer validate the
- frame check sequence (checksum) by default.
-
- • The TCP dissector gained a new “Reassemble out-of-order segments”
- preference to fix dissection and decryption issues in case TCP
- segments are received out-of-order. See the User’s Guide, chapter
- TCP Reassembly for details.
-
- • Decryption support for the new WireGuard dissector (Bug 15011[6],
- requires Libgcrypt 1.8).
-
- • The BOOTP dissector has been renamed to DHCP. With the exception
- of “bootp.dhcp”, the old “bootp.*” display filter fields are
- still supported but may be removed in a future release.
-
- • The SSL dissector has been renamed to TLS. As with BOOTP the old
- “ssl.*” display filter fields are supported but may be removed in
- a future release.
-
- • Coloring rules, IO graphs, Filter Buttons and protocol preference
- tables can now be copied from other profiles using a button in
- the corresponding configuration dialogs.
-
- • APT-X has been renamed to aptX.
-
- • When importing from hex dump, it’s now possible to add an
- ExportPDU header with a payload name. This calls the specific
- dissector directly without lower protocols.
-
- • The sshdump and ciscodump extcap interfaces can now use a proxy
- for the SSH connection.
-
- • Dumpcap now supports the -a packets:NUM and -b packets:NUM
- options.
-
- • Wireshark now includes a “No Reassembly” configuration profile.
-
- • Wireshark now supports the Russian language.
+ since version 3.0.0:
- • The build system now supports AppImage packages.
-
- • The Windows installers now ship with Qt 5.12.0. Previously they
- shipped with Qt 5.9.7.
-
- • Support for DTLS and TLS decryption using pcapng files that embed
- a Decryption Secrets Block (DSB) containing a TLS Key Log (Bug
- 15252[7]).
-
- • The editcap utility gained a new --inject-secrets option to
- inject an existing TLS Key Log file into a pcapng file.
-
- • A new dfilter function string() has been added. It allows the
- conversion of non-string fields to strings so string functions
- (as contains and matches) can be used on them.
-
- • The Bash test suite has been replaced by one based on Python
- unittest/pytest.
-
- • The custom window title can now show file path of the capture
- file and it has a conditional separator.
-
- Removed Features and Support
-
- • The legacy (GTK+) user interface has been removed and is no
- longer supported.
-
- • The portaudio library is no longer needed due to the removal of
- GTK+.
-
- • Wireshark requires Qt 5.2 or later. Qt 4 is no longer supported.
-
- • Wireshark requires GLib 2.32 or later.
-
- • Wireshark requires GnuTLS 3.2 or later as optional dependency.
-
- • Building Wireshark requires Python 3.4 or newer, Python 2.7 is
- unsupported.
-
- • Building Wireshark requires CMake. Autotools is no longer
- supported.
-
- • TShark’s -z compare option was removed.
-
- • Building with Cygwin is no longer supported on Windows.
-
- New File Format Decoding Support
-
- Ruby Marshal format
+ • Watch this space.

Updated Protocol Support
Too many protocols have been updated to list here.
New and Updated Capture File Support
- RFC 7468 (PEM), Ruby marshal object files, systemd Journal Export,
- and Unigraf DPA-400 DisplayPort AUX channel monitor
-
- New and Updated Capture Interfaces support
-
- dpauxmon, an external capture interface (extcap) that captures
- DisplayPort AUX channel data from linux kernel drivers.
-
- sdjournal, an extcap that captures systemd journal entries.
-
- Major API Changes
-
- • Lua: the various logging functions (debug, info, message, warn
- and critical) have been removed. Use the print function instead
- for debugging purposes.
-
- • Lua: on Windows, file-related functions such as dofile now assume
- UTF-8 paths instead of the local code page. This is consistent
- with Linux and macOS and improves compatibility on non-English
- systems. (Bug 15118[8])
