What's New
Bug Fixes
- The following vulnerabilities have been fixed:
-
- o The SCSI dissector could crash. Versions affected: 0.99.2.
-
- o If Wireshark was compiled with ESP decryption support, the
- IPsec ESP preference parser was susceptible to off-by-one
- errors. Versions affected: 0.99.2.
-
- o The DHCP dissector (and possibly others) in the Windows
- version of Wireshark could trigger a bug in Glib and crash.
- Versions affected: 0.10.13 - 0.99.2.
-
- o If the SSCOP dissector has a port range configured and the
- SSCOP payload protocol is Q.2931, a malformed packet could
- make the Q.2931 dissector use up available memory. No port
- range is configured by default. Versions affected: 0.7.9 -
- 0.99.2.
-
The following bugs have been fixed:
- o The VOIP call analysis feature could cause an assertion.
-
- o The RTP analysis feature could freeze for an extended period.
-
- o Selecting "Apply as Filter" wouldn't work for some tree items.
-
New and Updated Features
- The following features are new (or have been significantly
- updated) since the last release:
-
- o ESP, Kerberos, and SSL decryption are now supported in the
- Windows installer. (As as result, Wireshark is now subject to
- United States export controls.)
-
- o The packet list context menu now includes a conversation
- filter.
-
- o Wireshark can now generate ACL rules for several popular
- firewall products.
-
- o Wireshark now supports AirPcap, including raw 802.11 captures
- under Windows.
+ The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
+ since version 1.8:
+ * Wireshark on 32- and 64-bit Windows supports automatic updates.
+ * The packet bytes view is faster.
+ * You can now display a list of resolved host names in "hosts" format
+ within Wireshark.
+ * The wireless toolbar has been updated.
+ * Wireshark on Linux does a better job of detecting interface
+ addition and removal.
+ * It is now possible to compare two fields in a display filter (for
+ example: udp.srcport != udp.dstport). The two fields must be of the
+ same type for this to work.
+ * The Windows installers ship with WinPcap 4.1.3, which supports
+ Windows 8.
+ * USB type and product name support has been improved.
+ * Wireshark now calculates HTTP response times and presents the
+ result in a new field in the HTTP response. Links from the
+ request's frame to the response's frame and vice-versa are also
+ added.
+ * The main welcome screen and status bar now display file sizes using
+ strict SI prefixes instead of old-style binary prefixes.
+ * Capinfos now prints human-readable statistics with SI suffixes by
+ default.
+ * It is now possible to open a referenced packet (such as the matched
+ request or response packet) in a new window.
+ * It is now possible for tshark to display only the hex/ascii packet
+ data without also requiring that the packet summary and/or packet
+ details are also displayed. If you want the old behavior, use -Px
+ instead of just -x.
+ * The Wireshark application icon, capture toolbar icons, and other
+ icons have been updated.
