2 Wireshark 1.11.3 Release Notes
3 __________________________________________________________________
7 Wireshark is the world's most popular network protocol analyzer. It is
8 used for troubleshooting, analysis, development and education.
9 __________________________________________________________________
15 The following bugs have been fixed:
16 * "On-the-wire" packet lengths are limited to 65535 bytes. ([1]Bug
17 8808, ws-buglink:9390)
18 * "Follow TCP Stream" shows only the first HTTP req+res. ([2]Bug
20 * Files with pcap-ng Simple Packet Blocks can't be read. ([3]Bug
23 New and Updated Features
25 The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
28 + A (statistics tree) dialog has been added.
30 The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
32 * Mac OS X packaging has been improved.
34 The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
36 * Dissector output may be encoded as UTF-8. This includes TShark
39 + The Follow Stream dialog now supports packet and TCP stream
41 + A Flow Graph (sequence diagram) dialog has been added.
42 + The main window now respects geometry preferences.
44 The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
46 * Wireshark now uses the Qt application framework. The new UI should
47 provide a significantly better user experience, particularly on Mac
49 * A more flexible, modular memory manger (wmem) has been added. It
50 was available experimentally in 1.10 but is now mature and has
51 mostly replaced the old API.
52 * Expert info is now filterable and now requires a new API.
53 * The Windows installer now uninstalls the previous version of
54 Wireshark silently. You can still run the uninstaller manually
55 beforehand if you wish to run it interactively.
56 * The "Number" column shows related packets and protocol conversation
58 * When manipulating packets with editcap using the -C <choplen>
59 and/or -s <snaplen> options, it is now possible to also adjust the
60 original frame length using the -L option.
61 * You can now pass the -C <choplen> option to editcap multiple times,
62 which allows you to chop bytes from the beginning of a packet as
63 well as at the end of a packet in a single step.
64 * You can now specify an optional offset to the -C option for
65 editcap, which allows you to start chopping from that offset
66 instead of from the absolute packet beginning or end.
67 * "malformed" display filter has been renamed to "_ws.malformed". A
68 handful of other filters have been given the "_ws." prefix to note
69 they are Wireshark application specific filters and not dissector
