I just added the following bugs to the "Complete" list in the roadmap:
1050, 1079 - HTTP dissector crash
1096 - Wireshark fails to start on Windows when it can't acquire a
crypto context
Either of these would warrant a new release IMHO. I'll take a look at
the flow data bug.
What would be the preferred way of implementing the version checking and
Windows updater features? Firefox appears to use a simple SSL
connection, presumably to mitigate man-in-the-middle attacks. Assuming
we have GNUTLS or OpenSSL available, is there anything wrong with this
approach?
