Release Notes

v2.8.2 - 2026-09-05

Type: patch

PCAP merge enhancements, six new protocol decoders (SSDP UPnP, gRPC,
DHCPv6, mDNS, LLMNR, EPMAP), improved plain-text decoder, and
gRPC stream reassembly fix.

✨ Features

  • Six new protocol decoders — SSDP UPnP, gRPC, DHCPv6, mDNS, LLMNR,
    EPMAP (Conv → Decodes + sidebar)     — extends protocol coverage with
    SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocol / UPnP), gRPC
    (Google RPC over HTTP2), DHCPv6, mDNS (multicast DNS),
    LLMNR (Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution), and EPMAP
    (DCE/RPC Endpoint Mapper). All are registered in
    SUPPORTED_DECODER_PROTOS and auto-detected via
    PROTOCOL_DECODER_HINTS / PORT_DECODER_HINTS.
  • gRPC stream reassembly fix — fixed a bug in the gRPC decoder
    where stream fragments were not being correctly reassembled,
    causing partial or corrupted output for multi-frame gRPC calls.
    The decoder now properly buffers and reassembles streaming RPC
    responses.
  • Plain-text decoder improvements — the generic plain-text decoder
    was enhanced with better boundary detection and charset handling
    for more reliable text extraction from raw streams.
  • PCAP merge detail buckets — the Stats → PCAP Comparison subtab
    now shows per-bucket detail (packet counts, byte totals, timing
    distribution) rather than just aggregate stats, making it easier
    to identify which traffic segments differ between captures.
  • Shannon entropy color-coding improvements — the entropy
    visualization in PCAP comparison now has finer color gradation
    for better differentiation of low/medium/high entropy regions,
    and the entropy symbol was corrected for consistency.
  • Multi-source bookmarking and targeting fix — fixed bookmark
    creation and target resolution when a session has multiple
    capture sources, ensuring bookmarks correctly reference the
    intended source and stream.
  • Better merge support — various improvements to the PCAP merge
    workflow including better handling of overlapping time ranges and
    deduplication of duplicate packets across sources.

🐛 Fixes

  • gRPC stream reassembly — see Features above.
