+= Wireshark 1.9.1 Release Notes
+
+== 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:
+
+//* ws-buglink:5000
+//* cve-idlink:2013-2486
+
+=== New and Updated Features
+
+The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
+since version 1.8:
+
+* Wireshark on 32- and 64-bit Windows supports automatic updates.
+* The packet bytes view is faster.
+* You can now display a list of resolved host names in "hosts" format
+within Wireshark.
+* The wireless toolbar has been updated.
+* Wireshark on Linux does a better job of detecting interface addition
+and removal.
+* It is now possible to compare two fields in a display filter (for
+example: udp.srcport != udp.dstport). The two fields must be of the same
+type for this to work.
+* The main welcome screen and status bar now display file sizes using
+strict SI prefixes instead of old-style binary prefixes.
+* Capinfos now prints human-readable statistics with SI suffixes by
+default.
+
+=== New Protocol Support
+
+No new protocols
+
+=== Updated Protocol Support
+
+Too many protocols have been updated to list here.
+
+=== New and Updated Capture File Support
+
+No new or updated capture files.
+
+== 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 http://www.wireshark.org/download.html#thirdparty[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.
+
