Wireshark 1.99.0 Development Release

October 7, 2014

Wireshark 1.99.0 has been released. This is an experimental release intended to test features that will go into Wireshark 2.0. Installers for Windows, OS X, and source code are now available.

The following features are new (or have been significantly updated) since version 1.12.0:

  • The I/O Graph in the Gtk+ UI now supports an unlimited number of data points (up from 100k).
  • TShark now resets its state when changing files in ring-buffer mode.
  • Expert Info severities can now be configured.
  • Wireshark now supports external capture interfaces. External capture interfaces can be anything from a tcpdump-over-ssh pipe to a program that captures from proprietary or non-standard hardware. This functionality is not available in the Qt UI yet.
  • Qt port:

    • The Qt UI is now the default (program name is wireshark).
    • A Polish translation has been added.
    • The Interfaces dialog has been added.
    • The interface list is now updated when interfaces appear or disappear.
    • The Conversations and Endpoints dialogs have been added.

    • Windows: taskbar progress support has been added.
    • Most toolbar actions are in place and work.
