What's new in this version:

Bug Fixes
- The TCP dissector could hang or crash while reassembling HTTP packets.
- The HTTP dissector could crash.
- On some systems, the IEEE 802.11 dissector could crash.
- On some systems, the LLT dissector could crash.

The following bugs have been fixed:
- On Windows systems the packet list scroll bar could sometimes disappear or become unusable.
- The end of HTTP chunked encoding wasn't being displayed.
- The Follow TCP Stream window could omit characters.
- Opening a flow graph could crash Wireshark.
- Follow TCP Stream would sometimes get the direction wrong.
- The foreground text in the coloring rules editor was always black.
- The CSV export format was incorrect. ([13]Bug 1173)
- On some Windows systems Wireshark could take a long time to start up.
- Malformed UDLD packets could cause an exception.
- The ISUP statistics report could overflow a buffer and crash when displaying IPv6 addresses.

New and Updated Features
- We are now offering Wireshark as a [14]U3 package for Windows.
- U3 packages are suitable for using on USB drives and CD-ROMs.
- It's still experimental, but you're welcome to try it out and report any problems or successes.
- Decryption support for WPA/WPA2 and SNMPv3 has been added. The TDS / MS SQL dissector now de-obfuscates passwords.
- 64-bit file handling has been improved.
- The Find function now selects the corresponding packet detail item. Find functionality has been added to the TCP and SSL stream dialogs.
- Main window keyboard navigation has been improved.
- Windows file dialogs now show the "places" bar (Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places, etc). File dialogs now default to "My Documents" in accordance with Microsoft's HIG.
- [15]AirPcap support (which provides raw mode capture under Windows) has been enhanced to allow capturing on multiple AirPcap adapters simultaneously.
- You can no longer install Wireshark on Windows 95, 98, or ME. (OK, so it's not a feature per se, but it's an important change). The last version known to work on these systems is [16]Ethereal 0.99.0.
- ASN.1 BER-encoded files can now be dissected according to a user-specified syntax.
