The ABI is almost totally stable [1], which is very good sign for plugin developers and for anyone using Wireshark's libraries. :-) There is only a minor incompatibility in packet-zbee-zcl.h caused by changed constants, which could be fixed by not backporting r40133.The ABI change is the result of fixing a bug. If we revert the change the ZigBee ZCL dissector will revert back to its previous broken behavior and packet-zbee-zcl.h will have incorrect definitions. Shouldn't we change the libwireshark version from 2:0:1 to 2:1:0 instead?
FYI: 1. In the recent SVN #40414 1.6 changes, there were some changes inpacket-ssl-utils.h (which undoubtedly would be considered an ABI change) done as part of a fixing a bug.
2. There was also a (trivial) change to remove a typedef from packet-nfs.h (which I made while fixing an unrelated bug).
I certainly can remove this particular change if necessary. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
