Hi,
We have a considerable amount of fixed bugs in the queue and we are
getting a few bug reports on the Windows problems when

no IP address is assigned on the interface so perhaps it's time to
consider a maintenance release?

For the packet-x.c files where only bugfixes has been made should we
consider to copy the file across to get the hf blurb fixes

copied to keep the sources as equal as possible?

Many of the bug fixes in the queue are serious, and we need to get 1.2.1
out ASAP. There are several outstanding issues I'd like to get fixed first:

  - Overhaul the IPFIX dissector (bug 3471).
  - Bug 3672, which appears to be an off-by-one error in the reassembly
    code.
  - Review and check in the ZIOP patch attached to bug 3652.
  - Newer fuzz bugs (3688 and 3696), which I haven't looked at.

I'm working on the IPFIX dissector right now. Anyone want to look at the
other items?

Both 3688 and 3696 appears to be memory corruption in the Netflow/IPFIX dissector. Do you intend on handling these in your overhaul?
