# Stratoshark 0.9.4 Release Notes

This is an experimental release intended to test new features for Stratoshark 1.0.

## What is Stratoshark?

Stratoshark is a system call and log analyzer. It combines the analysis and filtering features of Wireshark with the capture and data enrichment features of Falco. It can be used for troubleshooting, analysis, development and education.

Stratoshark is hosted by the Wireshark Foundation, a nonprofit which promotes protocol and system analysis education. Stratoshark and the foundation depend on your contributions in order to do their work. If you or your organization would like to contribute or become a sponsor, please visit wiresharkfoundation.org.

## What’s New

The following changes have been made since version 0.9.2:

- The Windows installers now ship with Qt 6.8.3. They previously shipped with Qt 6.8.1.

The following changes have been made since version 0.9.1:

- The Falco Bridge dissector has been renamed to Falco Events. Filter fields now have a "falcoevents" protocol prefix, but a "falcobridge" protocol alias has been added for backward compatibility. Issue 20397

- Stratoshark can now show field offsets for supported plugins.

- Cloudtrail log messages can now be viewed as formatted JSON data.
