I'm proud to announce the release of Wireshark 1.6.0rc1. This is the
first release candidate of the upcoming 1.6 (stable) branch.
What is Wireshark?
Wireshark is the world's most popular network protocol analyzer.
It is used for troubleshooting, analysis, development and
education.
What's New
Bug Fixes
The following bugs have been fixed:
o Wireshark is unresponsive when capturing from named pipes on
Windows. (Bug 1759)
o Ring buffers are no longer turned on by default when using
multiple capture files.
New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly
updated) since version 1.4:
o Wireshark can import text dumps, similar to text2pcap.
o You can now view Wireshark's dissector tables (for example the
TCP port to dissector mappings) from the main window.
o TShark can show a specific occurrence of a field when using
'-T fields'.
o Custom columns can show a specific occurrence of a field.
o You can hide columns in the packet list.
o Wireshark can now export SMB objects.
o dftest and randpkt now have manual pages.
o TShark can now display iSCSI, ICMP and ICMPv6 service response
times.
o Dumpcap can now save files with a user-specified group id.
o Syntax checking is done for capture filters.
o You can display the compiled BPF code for capture filters in
the Capture Options dialog.
o You can now navigate backwards and forwards through TCP and
UDP sessions using Ctrl+, and Ctrl+. .
o Packet length is (finally) a default column.
o TCP window size is now avaiable both scaled and unscaled. A
TCP window scaling graph is available in the GUI.
o 802.1q VLAN tags are now shown by the Ethernet II dissector.
o Various dissectors now display some UTF-16 strings as proper
Unicode including the DCE/RPC and SMB dissectors.
o The RTP player now has an option to show the time of day in
the graph in addition to the seconds since beginning of
capture.
o The RTP player now shows why media interruptions occur.
o Graphs now save as PNG images by default.
o TShark can read and write host name information from and to
pcapng-formatted files. Wireshark can read it. TShark can dump
host name information via
[-z hosts]
.
o The tshark -z option now uses the
[-z <proto>,srt]
syntax instead of
[-z <proto>,rtt]
for all protocols that support service response time
statistics. This syntax now matches Wireshark's syntax for
this option.

Getting Wireshark
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
http://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
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 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.
