Major API Changes
The libwireshark API has undergone some major changes:
* The emem framework (including all ep_ and se_ memory allocation
routines) has been completely removed in favour of wmem which is
now fully mature.
* The (long-since-broken) Python bindings support has been removed.
If you want to write dissectors in something other than C, use Lua.
* Plugins can now create GUI menu items.
* Heuristic dissectors can now be globally enabled/disabled so
heur_dissector_add() has a few more parameters to make that
possible

Getting Wireshark
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
[2]https://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 [3]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.
