Wireshark 1.10.0 Released
June 5, 2013
Wireshark 1.10.0 has been released. Installers for Windows, OS X, and source code
are now available.
2.2. New and Updated Features
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.
-
All Bluetooth profiles and protocols are now supported.
-
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.
-
Tshark can now display only the hex/ascii packet data
without requiring that the packet summary and/or packet details are also
displayed. If you want the old behavior, use -Px instead of just -x.
-
Wireshark can be compiled using GTK+ 3.
-
The Wireshark application icon, capture toolbar icons, and other icons
have been updated.
-
Tshark’s filtering and multi-pass analysis have been reworked for consistency
and in order to support dependent frame calculations during reassembly. See the
man page descriptions for -2, -R, and -Y.
-
Tshark’s -G fields2 and -G fields3 options have been eliminated. The
-G fields option now includes the 2 extra fields that -G fields3 previously
provided, and the blurb information has been relegated to the last column since
in many cases it is blank anyway.
-
Wireshark dropped the left-handed settings from the preferences. This is
still configurable via the GTK settings (add
"gtk-scrolled-window-placement = top-right" in the config file, which might be
called /.gtkrc-2.0 or /.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini).
-
Wireshark now ships with two global configuration files: Bluetooth, which
contains coloring rules for Bluetooth and Classic, which contains the old-style
coloring rules.
-
The LOAD() metric in the IO-graph now shows the load in IO units instead
of thousands of IO units.
Official releases are available right now from the
download page.
