Wireshark 2.6.6 Release Notes

 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

    • The Windows installers now ship with Qt 5.9.7. Previously they
      shipped with Qt 5.9.5.

  Bug Fixes

   The following vulnerabilities have been fixed:

     • wnpa-sec-2019-01[1] A dissector went awry.

   The following bugs have been fixed:

  New and Updated Features

   There are no new features in this release.

  New Protocol Support

   There are no new protocols in this release.

  Updated Protocol Support

  New and Updated Capture File Support

   There is no new or updated capture file support in this release.

  New and Updated Capture Interfaces support

   There is no new or updated capture file support in this release.

  Major API Changes

     • Lua: on Windows, file-related functions such as dofile now assume
       UTF-8 paths instead of the local code page. This is consistent
       with Linux and macOS and improves compatibility on non-English
       systems. (Bug 15118[2])

 Getting Wireshark

  Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
  https://www.wireshark.org/download.html[3].

  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[4] 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.

 Known Problems

  The BER dissector might infinitely loop. Bug 1516[5].

  Capture filters aren’t applied when capturing from named pipes. Bug
  1814[6].

  Filtering tshark captures with read filters (-R) no longer works. Bug
  2234[7].

  Application crash when changing real-time option. Bug 4035[8].

  Wireshark and TShark will display incorrect delta times in some cases.
  Bug 4985[9].

  Wireshark should let you work with multiple capture files. Bug
  10488[10].

 Getting Help

  Community support is available on Wireshark’s Q&A site[11] and on the
  wireshark-users mailing list. Subscription information and archives
  for all of Wireshark’s mailing lists can be found on the web site[12].

  Official Wireshark training and certification are available from
  Wireshark University[13].
