=== New and Updated Features
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
-since version 2.2.0:
-
-* Experimental 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Installer (.msi) packages are available.
- It is recommended that you use these independently of the NSIS (.exe) installers.
- That is, you should make sure the NSIS package is completely uninstalled before
- installing the Windows Installer package and vice-versa.
-* Source packages are now compressed using xz instead of bzip2.
-* The legacy (GTK+) UI is disabled by default in the Windows installer.
-* The legacy (GTK+) UI is disabled by default in Autotools and CMake.
-* SS7 Point Codes can now be resolved into names with a hosts-like file.
-* Wireshark can now go fullscreen to have more room for packets.
-* TShark can now export objects like the other GUI interfaces.
-* Support for G.722 and G.726 codecs in the RTP Player (via the SpanDSP library).
-* You can now choose the output device when playing RTP streams.
-* Added support for dissectors to include a unit name natively in their hf field.
- A field can now automatically append "seconds" or "ms" to its value without
- additional printf-style APIs.
-* The Default profile can now be reset to default values.
-* You can move back and forth in the selection history in the Qt UI.
-* IEEE 802.15.4 dissector now uses an UAT for decryption keys. The original
