Wireshark 2.1.0 Development Release
June 8, 2016
Wireshark 2.1.0 has been released.
This is an experimental release intended to test features that will go into
Wireshark 2.2.
Installers for Windows, OS X, and source code
are now available.
The following features are new (or have been significantly
updated) since version 2.0.0:
- You can now switch between between Capture and
File Format dissection of the current capture file via the View
menu in the Qt GUI.
- You can now show selected packet bytes as
ASCII, HTML, Image, ISO 8859-1, Raw, UTF-8, a C array, or
YAML.
- You can now use regular expressions in Find
Packet and in the advanced preferences.
- Name resolution for packet capture now
supports asynchronous DNS lookups only. Therefore the "concurrent
DNS resolution" preference has been deprecated and is a no-op. To
enable DNS name resolution some build dependencies must be present
(currently c-ares). If that is not the case DNS name resolution
will be disabled (but other name resolution mechanisms, such as
host files, are still available).
- The byte under the mouse in the Packet Bytes
pane is now highlighted.
- TShark supports exporting PDUs via the
-U
flag.
- The Windows and OS X installers now come with
the "sshdump" and "ciscodump" extcap interfaces.
- Most dialogs in the Qt UI now save their size
and positions.
- The Follow Stream dialog now supports
UTF-16.
- The Firewall ACL Rules dialog has
returned.
- The Flow (Sequence) Analysis dialog has been
improved.
Official releases are available right now from the
download page.
