What's New
New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
since version 2.2.0:
* Experimental 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Installer (.msi) packages
are available. It is recommended that you use these independently
of the NSIS (.exe) installers. That is, you should make sure the
NSIS package is completely uninstalled before installing the
Windows Installer package and vice-versa.
* Source packages are now compressed using xz instead of bzip2.
* The legacy (GTK+) UI is disabled by default in the Windows
installer.
* The legacy (GTK+) UI is disabled by default in Autotools and CMake.
* SS7 Point Codes can now be resolved into names with a hosts-like
file.
* Wireshark can now go fullscreen to have more room for packets.
* TShark can now export objects like the other GUI interfaces.
* Support for G.722 and G.726 codecs in the RTP Player (via the
SpanDSP library).
* You can now choose the output device when playing RTP streams.
* Added support for dissectors to include a unit name natively in
their hf field. A field can now automatically append "seconds" or
"ms" to its value without additional printf-style APIs.
* The Default profile can now be reset to default values.
* You can move back and forth in the selection history in the Qt UI.
* IEEE 802.15.4 dissector now uses an UAT for decryption keys. The
original decryption key preference has been obsoleted.
* Extcap utilities can now provide configuration for a GUI interface
toolbar to control the extcap utility while capturing.
* Extcap utilities can now validate the capture filter.
* Display filter function len() can now be used on all string and
byte fields.
* Added timeline view for 802.11 wireless packet data.

Getting Wireshark
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from

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 [2]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.
