Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Can some minor enhancements be moved to the 1.0 trunk ?

Hi Michael,

I'm sorry but you need to understand that a stable release is a stable release. No new features, enhancements or the like go in. Only bugfixes are backported from development to the 1.0 branch. It all comes down to the allocation of the 'spare time' resource, something we're chronically short of. We better apply that to enhancing the development version, so that at SharkFest'09 a new, feature packed, stable release will see the light, and the 1.0 branch be 'abandoned'.

Regards,
Jaap

Hi,

I added some enhancements to some protocols and one additional
dissector (RFC3558 header) thinking they would be included in
Wireshark 1.0.5/1.0.6.

But now that I have read the development roadmap I see that they
would not appear until 1.2.0.

Could the following be applied to the 1.0 trunk for release 1.0.7 ?

3083 	Enh 	Low 	Wind 	wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 	RESO
FIXE RFC3558 header dissection (EVRC in RTP) 3084 Enh Low Wind wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx RESO
FIXE 	Added EVRC-WB mime types to dynamic clock rate list
3100 	Enh 	Low 	Wind 	wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 	RESO
FIXE 	Minor enhancement for for MEID/pESN
3182 	Enh 	Low 	Wind 	wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 	RESO
FIXE 	Added support for Capabilities Information message and MEID
3204 	Enh 	Low 	Wind 	wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 	RESO
FIXE 	Brought up to date with version C of the specification

Thanks
