* Qt port:
+ The welcome screen layout has been updated.
+ The Preferences dialog no longer crashes on Windows.
+ The packet list header menu has been added.
+ Statistics tree plugins are now supported.
+ The window icon is now displayed properly in the Windows
taskbar.
+ A packet list an byte view selection bug has been fixed
([1]Bug 10896)
+ The RTP Streams dialog has been added.
+ The Protocol Hierarchy Statistics dialog has been added.
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
since version 1.99.0:
* Qt port:
+ You can now show and hide toolbars and major widgets using the
View menu.
+ You can now set the time display format and precision.
+ The byte view widget is much faster, particularly when
selecting large reassembled packets.
+ The byte view is explorable. Hovering over it highlights the
corresponding field and shows a description in the status bar.
+ An Italian translation has been added.
+ The Summary dialog has been updated and renamed to Capture
File Properties.
+ The VoIP Calls and SIP Flows dialogs have been added.
+ Support for HiDPI / Retina displays has been improved in the
official packages.
* DNS stats: + A new stats tree has been added to the Statistics
menu. Now it is possible to collect stats such as qtype/qclass
distribution, number of resource record per response section, and
stats data (min, max, avg) for values such as query name length or
DNS payload.
* HPFEEDS stats: + A new stats tree has been added to the statistics
menu. Now it is possible to collect stats per channel (messages
count and payload size), and opcode distribution.

data points (up from 100k).
* TShark now resets its state when changing files in ring-buffer
mode.
* Expert Info severities can now be configured.

capture interfaces can be anything from a tcpdump-over-ssh pipe to
a program that captures from proprietary or non-standard hardware.
This functionality is not available in the Qt UI yet.
* Qt port:
+ The Qt UI is now the default (program name is wireshark).
+ A Polish translation has been added.
+ The Interfaces dialog has been added.
+ The interface list is now updated when interfaces appear or
disappear.

Major API Changes
The libwireshark API has undergone some major changes:

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.

Getting Wireshark
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from

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.
