not select a payload dissector (except for port 20, active FTP). This
behavior can be changed using the "Client port dissectors" preference.
Display filters now correctly handle floating point conversion errors.

different locales.

Wireshark 4.4.0 included the following changes. See the release
notes[80] for details:
Many improvements and fixes to the graphing dialogs, including I/O
Graphs, Flow Graph / VoIP Calls, and TCP Stream Graphs.
Wireshark now supports automatic profile switching. You can associate
a display filter with a configuration profile, and when you open a
capture file that matches the filter, Wireshark will automatically
switch to that profile.
Support for Lua 5.3 and 5.4 has been added, and support for Lua 5.1
and 5.2 has been removed. The Windows and macOS installers now ship
with Lua 5.4.6.
Improved display filter support for value strings (optional string
representations for numeric fields).
Display filter functions can be implemented as plugins, similar to
protocol dissectors and file parsers.
Display filters can be translated to pcap filters using "Edit › Copy ›
Display filter as pcap filter" if each display filter field has a
corresponding pcap filter equivalent.
Custom columns can be defined using any valid field _expression_, such
as display filter functions, packet slices, arithmetic calculations,
logical tests, raw byte addressing, and protocol layer modifiers.
Custom output fields for `tshark -e` can also be defined using any
valid field _expression_.
Wireshark can be built with the zlib-ng instead of zlib for compressed
file support. Zlib-ng is substantially faster than zlib. The official
Windows and macOS packages include this feature.
Getting Wireshark
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
https://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[81] 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 "Help › About
Wireshark › Folders" or `tshark -G folders` to find the default
locations on your system.
Getting Help
The User’s Guide, manual pages and various other documentation can be
Community support is available on Wireshark’s Q&A site[82] and on the
wireshark-users mailing list. Subscription information and archives
for all of Wireshark’s mailing lists can be found on the mailing list
site[83].
Bugs and feature requests can be reported on the issue tracker[84].
You can learn protocol analysis and meet Wireshark’s developers at
SharkFest[85].

their networks as much as possible. You can find out more and donate
