Darn. So does this mean that when the ABI changes, I will have to compile the plugin with the new source?

Yes.

Also, what is ABI?

Keep in mind, too, that the ABI for plugins is not stable. As such you must compile your plugin for each version of Wireshark.

OK, you can probably get away with reusing a plugin between some versions but there is no guarantee that the ABI won't change (and there is no notice when it does change).
