Hello, I am trying to get a copy of Wireshark User's Guide for Wireshark 2.4.2, but when I follow the links on the web site I always get some 'For Wireshark 2.5' no matter how many times I hit refresh, disable my cache, etc. I went for the PDF, but in desperation I tried the .chm and it has the same problem. Where can I get a Wireshark User's Guide for Wireshark 2.4.2, since 2.5 isn't even out yet? Do I have to clone some git and build it myself? I'm OK with that if it can be generated on linux, but I'd need a pointer to some kind of 'how to build it' guide. It's
Yes, currently the user guide is not built (nor installed) by default on Linux. You'll have to build it yourself, from a tarball for example (docbook/README.txt).
FWIW I agree the Help link should not point to a different version.
confusing to get 2.4.2 application but the documentation is for some unreleased version, so I have very low confidence in the documentation since it probably uses 2.5 features that aren't even in 2.4.2. Using the application is already complicated, and I don't want to make the learning curve even harder with problems that come from using the wrong documentation.
