I'm proud to announce the release of Wireshark 1.4.0rc1. This is the
first release candidate of the upcoming 1.4 (stable) branch.

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

  Bug Fixes

   The following bugs have been fixed:

     o Update time display in background. (Bug 1275)

     o Wireshark is unresponsive when capturing from named pipes on
       Windows. (Bug 1759)

  New and Updated Features

   The following features are new (or have been significantly
   updated) since version 1.2:

     o The packet list internals have been rewritten and are now more
       efficient.

     o Columns are easier to use. You can add a protocol field as a
       column by right-clicking on its packet detail item, and you
       can adjust some column preferences by right-clicking the
       column header.

     o Preliminary Python scripting support has been added.

     o Many memory leaks have been fixed.

     o Wireshark 1.4 does not support Windows 2000. Please use
       Wireshark 1.2 or 1.0 on those systems.

     o Packets can now be ignored (excluded from dissection), similar
       to the way they can be marked.

     o Manual IP address resolution is now supported.

     o Columns with seconds can now be displayed as hours, minutes
       and seconds.

     o You can now set the capture buffer size on UNIX and Linux if
       you have libpcap 1.0.0 or greater.

     o TShark no longer needs elevated privileges on UNIX or Linux to
       list interfaces. Only dumpcap requires privileges now.

     o Wireshark and TShark can enable 802.11 monitor mode directly
       if you have libpcap 1.0.0 or greater.

     o You can play RTP streams directly from the RTP Analysis
       window.

     o Capinfos and editcap now respectively support time order
       checking and forcing.

     o Wireshark now has a "jump to timestamp" command-line option.

     o You can open JPEG files directly in Wireshark.

Getting Wireshark

   Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
   http://www.wireshark.org/download.html.

  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 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

   Wireshark may appear offscreen on multi-monitor Windows systems.
   (Bug 553)

   Wireshark might make your system disassociate from a wireless
   network on OS X 10.4. (Bug 1315)

   Dumpcap might not quit if Wireshark or TShark crashes. (Bug 1419)

   The BER dissector might infinitely loop. (Bug 1516)

   Capture filters aren't applied when capturing from named pipes.
   (Bug 1814)

   Filtering tshark captures with display filters (-R) no longer
   works. (Bug 2234)

   The 64-bit Windows installer does not ship with the same libraries
   as the 32-bit installer. (Bug 3610)

   Hex pane display issue after startup. (Bug 4056)

   Packet list rows are oversized. (Bug 4357)

   Summary pane selected frame highlighting not maintained. (Bug
   4445)
