New File Format Decoding Support
Wireshark is able to display the format of some types of files (rather
than displaying the contents of those files). This is useful when
you're curious about, or debugging, a file and its format. To open a
capture file (such as PCAP) in this mode specify "MIME Files Format" as
the file's format in the Open File dialog.
New files that Wireshark can open in this mode include:
BTSNOOP, PCAP, and PCAPNG

Updated Protocol Support
Too many protocols have been updated to list here.
New and Updated Capture File Support

Netscaler 3.5, and Symbian OS BTSNOOP File Format
Additionally, Wireshark now supports nanosecond timestamp resolution in
PCAP-NG files.
New and Updated Capture Interfaces support
Androiddump support now provides interfaces to capture (Logcat,
Bluetooth and WiFi) from connected Android devices.
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
* proto_tree_add_text has been removed.
* tvb_length() has been removed in favor of tvb_reported_length() and
tvb_captured_length().
* The API for RPC-based dissectors has changed significantly: the
procedure dissectors no longer take an offset, void-argument
procedures now need to be declared with a function (use
dissect_rpc_void()), and rpc_init_prog() now handles procedure
registration too (it takes additional arguments to handle this;
rpc_init_proc_table() was removed).
__________________________________________________________________
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.
__________________________________________________________________

Filtering tshark captures with read filters (-R) no longer works.
([7]Bug 2234)
Resolving ([8]Bug 9044) reopens ([9]Bug 3528) so that Wireshark no
longer automatically decodes gzip data when following a TCP stream.

The 64-bit version of Wireshark will leak memory on Windows when the
display depth is set to 16 bits ([14]Bug 9914)
Wireshark should let you work with multiple capture files. ([15]Bug
10488)
