Hi,

This is slated for the next stable release, not something that’s back ported to current stable.

You can always try the nightly development builds (v4.5.0) from here:  https://1.na.dl.wireshark.org/automated/ 

Thanks,
Jaap

Hi all,

I'm investigating HTTP traffic with zstd Content-Encoding.
I saw that Wireshark 4.4.8 was unable to decompress it, so I was going to implement it.
Then, I've seen that some 9 months ago, a MR supporting it has been merged: https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/merge_requests/17781

To my surprise, even though it got merged, it was never released - no release branch ever got the relevant commit cherry-picked.

Is it slated to be released on some later date? What's the process of getting this published?

Thanks
