= Wireshark {wireshark-version} Release Notes
// Asciidoctor Syntax Quick Reference:
// https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-syntax-quick-reference/
This is an experimental release intended to test new features for Wireshark 4.4.
== 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
// Add a summary of **major** changes here.
// Add other changes to "New and Updated Features" below.
Improved display filter support for value strings (optional string
representations for numeric fields).
//=== Bug Fixes
//The following bugs have been fixed:
//* wsbuglink:5000[]
//* wsbuglink:6000[Wireshark bug]
//* cveidlink:2014-2486[]
//* Wireshark grabs your ID at 3 am, goes to Waffle House, and insults people.
=== New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated) since version 4.2.0:
//* The Windows installers now ship with Qt 6.5.2.
// They previously shipped with Qt 6.2.3.
* Display filter syntax-related enhancements:
** Better handling of comparisons with value strings. Now the display filter engine can
correctly handle cases where multiple different numeric values map to the same value
string, including but not limited to range-type value strings.
** Fields with value strings now support regular expression matching.
* Binary plugins can be placed on the root of the versioned personal plugins
folder or any subfolder one level below that. The global and personal
binary plugins folder no longer have to obey to any particular hierarchical
structure.
//=== Removed Features and Support

//RTPDump

=== New Protocol Support

// === New and Updated Capture Interfaces support
//=== New and Updated Codec support
//_Non-empty section placeholder._
=== Major API Changes
* The API for loading binary plugins has changed and all plugins are now required
to include a new public symbol named "plugin_type". The possible values are
defined in `wireshark.h` and correspond to the three major supported plugin
types (epan/wiretap/codec).
== Getting Wireshark
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
https://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
=== Vendor-supplied Packages
Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark packages.

A list of third-party packages can be found on the
https://www.wireshark.org/download.html[download page]

== File Locations

These locations vary from platform to platform.
You can use menu:Help[About Wireshark,Folders] or `tshark -G folders` to find the default locations on your system.
