Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark 1.6: End support of older Windows Compilers/SDKs ?

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Like Steve said: "Looks fine; very conservative", so let's keep supporting the 
coders in the (conservative)(corporate) tranches.

(I know, forcing an older compiler for the newest Wireshark doesn't sound 
logical, but that's (corporate) life sometimes).

Thanks,
Jaap
