Wireshark 4.2.0 Release Notes

What’s New

This is the first major Wireshark release under the Wireshark Foundation, a nonprofit which hosts Wireshark and promotes protocol analysis educaton.

Wireshark supports dark mode on Windows.

A Windows installer for Arm64 has been added.

Packet list sorting has been improved.

Wireshark and TShark are now better about generating valid UTF-8 output.

A new display filter feature for filtering raw bytes has been added.

Display filter autocomplete is smarter about not suggesting invalid syntax.

"Tools › MAC Address Blocks" can lookup a MAC address in the IEEE OUI registry.

The enterprises, manuf, and services configuration files have been compiled in for improved start-up times. These files are no longer available in the master branch in our source code repository. You can download the manuf file from our automated build directory.

The installation target no longer installs development headers by default.

The Wireshark installation is relocatable on Linux (and other ELF platforms with support for relative RPATHs).

Wireshark can be compiled on Windows using MSYS2[3]. Check the Developer’s guide for instructions.

Wireshark can be cross-compiled for Windows using Linux. Check the Developer’s guide for instructions.

"Tools › Browser (SSL Keylog)" can launch your web browser with the SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable set to the appropriate value.

Windows installer file names now have the format Wireshark-<version>-<architecture>.exe.

Wireshark now supports the Korean language.

Many other improvements have been made. See the “New and Updated Features” section below for more details.
