What's New in Wireshark 1.6.0
Bug Fixes
The following vulnerabilities have been fixed.
  • Wireshark is unresponsive when capturing from named pipes on Windows.
  • Crash when sorting column while capturing.
  • Ring buffers are no longer turned on by default when using multiple capture files.

New and Updated Features
Wireshark 1.6.0 contains a number of new and update features including:
  • Wireshark is now distributed as an installation package rather than a drag-installer on OS X. The installer adds a startup item that should make it easier to capture packets.
  • Large file (greater than 2 GB) support has been improved.
  • Wireshark and TShark can import text dumps, similar to text2pcap.
  • You can now view Wireshark's dissector tables (for example the TCP port to dissector mappings) from the main window.
  • Wireshark can export SSL session keys via File?Export?SSL Session Keys...
  • TShark can show a specific occurrence of a field when using '-T fields'.
  • Custom columns can show a specific occurrence of a field.
  • You can hide columns in the packet list.
  • Wireshark can now export SMB objects.
  • dftest and randpkt now have manual pages.
  • TShark can now display iSCSI, ICMP and ICMPv6 service response times.
  • Dumpcap can now save files with a user-specified group id.
  • Syntax checking is done for capture filters.
  • You can display the compiled BPF code for capture filters in the Capture Options dialog.
  • You can now navigate backwards and forwards through TCP and UDP sessions using Ctrl+, and Ctrl+. .
  • Packet length is (finally) a default column.
  • TCP window size is now avaiable both scaled and unscaled. A TCP window scaling graph is available in the GUI.
  • 802.1q VLAN tags are now shown in the Ethernet II protocol tree instead of a separate tree.
  • Various dissectors now display some UTF-16 strings as proper Unicode including the DCE/RPC and SMB dissectors.
  • The RTP player now has an option to show the time of day in the graph in addition to the seconds since beginning of capture.
  • The RTP player now shows why media interruptions occur.
  • Graphs now save as PNG images by default.
  • TShark can read and write host name information from and to pcapng-formatted files. Wireshark can read it. TShark can dump host name information via [-z hosts].
  • TShark's -z option now uses the [-z ,srt] syntax instead of [-z ,rtt] for all protocols that support service response time statistics. This matches Wireshark's syntax for this option.
  • Wireshark and TShark can now read compressed Windows Sniffer files.
