Re: Wireshark 1.4

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter () xs4all nl>]

Hi,

I would get it done asap, so the core developers have the time to get it 
processed as well. Cutoff is when the branch is made. This will happen once 
we're satisfied the trunk is stable enough. We hope this happens somewhere next 
week.

Thanks,
Jaap
