                         Wireshark 2.0.0 Release Notes
     __________________________________________________________________

What's New

   Wireshark 2.0 features a completely new user interface which should
   provide a smoother, faster user experience. The new interface should
   be familiar to current users of Wireshark but provide a faster
   workflow for many tasks.

...

   Wireshark's Debian- and RPM-based package definitions provide the new
   interface in the "wireshark-qt" package and the old interface in the
   "wireshark-gtk" package. It is hoped that downstream distributions
   will follow this convention.

          ◦ More command line options are now supported

  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

   3GPP TS 32.423 Trace, Android Logcat text files, Colasoft Capsa files,
   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 ONC 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).
       __________________________________________________________________

   longer automatically decodes gzip data when following a TCP stream.

   Application crash when changing real-time option. ([20]Bug 4035)

   Hex pane display issue after startup. ([21]Bug 4056)

   The 64-bit version of Wireshark will leak memory on Windows when the
   display depth is set to 16 bits ([24]Bug 9914)

   10488)
