This update does not introduce new network protocol support but enhances existing support for a variety of protocols, including ASTERIX, DLT, DNP 3.0, and many others.<\/p>\n<p>The update addresses several critical bugs, such as fixing a crash that occurred when displaying packets in a new window after reloading Lua plugins, a bug related to the renegotiated DTLS session decryption, and another that resulted in the packet diagram displaying the representation multiple times for fields set as <code>FT_NONE<\/code>. Other fixes involve issues with UDS dissector responses and a DNP3 timestamp malfunction after epoch time.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Wireshark 4.4.8 resolves a bug causing the application to freeze on startup when utilized within an Android emulator, an encoding issue with UTF-8, and a parsing problem with form-urlencoded keys.<\/p>\n<p>For a comprehensive overview of the changes and specific technical updates, users can refer to the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wireshark.org\/docs\/relnotes\/wireshark-4.4.8.html\">release notes<\/a>.
