Is it guaranteed that a 1.2.x plugin runs with Wireshark 1.4.x?
Jaap and Joerg are referring to the same stable branch, so any newer
version of 1.2.x than the one you compiled with (or newer 1.4.x than the
one you compiled it with).  This makes sense because only important bug
fixes are moved from the development back into the newer stable branches
and no new features.  I just didn't think we were verifying that bug
fixes never broke the ABI, although I can see why they never or at least
rarely would.
Ok, I understand that life cycle. But I cannot convince anybody to
update there 1.2.x installations to 1.4.x.

So I must now decide if I have to provide a DLL compile with the 1.2.x
header and libs and an additional DLL compiled with the 1.4.x header and
libs. I don't think about the development branches (1.3.x).
Seems better.
I know at least 1 modification :
- stats_tree_register prototype changed
But it could have many other modifications which are not visible by the compiler.
On function prototype or struct definitions ...

Sorry, if this additional question is annoying. But unfortunately I did
not get the answer from your mail. I'm sure this would be my fault.
