- editcap, which allows you to start chopping from that
- offset instead of from the absolute packet beginning or

Major API Changes
The libwireshark API has undergone some major changes:
- * A more flexible, modular memory manager (wmem) has been
- added. It was available experimentally in 1.10 but is now
- mature and has mostly replaced the old emem API (which is
- deprecated).
- * A new API for expert information has been added, replacing
- the old one.
- * The tvbuff API has been cleaned up: tvb_length has been
- renamed to tvb_captured_length for clarity, and
- tvb_get_string and tvb_get_stringz have been deprecated in
- favour of tvb_get_string_enc and tvb_get_stringz_enc.
- __________________________________________________________
+ * The emem framework (including all ep_ and se_ memory allocation
+ routines) has been completely removed in favour of wmem which is
+ now fully mature.
+ * The (long-since-broken) Python bindings support has been removed.
+ If you want to write dissectors in something other than C, use Lua.
+ * Plugins can now create GUI menu items.
+ * Heuristic dissectors can now be globally enabled/disabled so
+ heur_dissector_add() has a few more parameters to make that
+ possible

Vendor-supplied Packages
- Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark
- packages. You can usually install or upgrade Wireshark using
- the package management system specific to that platform. A list

File Locations
- Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for
- preference files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries.
- These locations vary from platform to platform. You can use
- About->Folders to find the default locations on your system.
