Wireshark 1.9.1 Development Release

March 12, 2013

Wireshark 1.9.0 has been released. This is an experimental release intended to test features that will go into Wireshark 1.10. Installers for Windows, OS X, and source code are now available.

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 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.

Official releases are available right now from the download page.
