It supports some older systems not supported by 1.2. For example, the
1.0 versions are the last versions that can work with GTK 1. I think it
may also be the last version that runs on Windows 98(?).

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 of third-party
packages can be found on the download page on the Wireshark web
site.
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.
Known Problems
Wireshark may appear offscreen on multi-monitor Windows systems.
