Fwd: ASN.1 dissector Wireshark

[Vincent Randal <vtrandal () gmail com>]

Greetings,  everyone. I’ve a question regarding:
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/Asn1DissectorRequirements.html

I take this to mean Wireshark ASN.1 support might not be up to date going
forward. Is that the meaning? ASN.1 has a long history. It makes sense
periodically to freeze support for specific versions of ASN.1. Is that the
meaning here (Changing the ASN1 file is being depreciated)? It says:

The compiler needs 4 input files: an ASN.1 description of a protocol, a
.cnf file, and two template files. The ASN.1 specification may have to be
edited to work, however work is in progress to at least read all ASN1
specifications. Changing the ASN1 file is being depreciated as this creates
problems when updating protocols. The H.248 Binary encoding dissector is a
good example of a dissector with relatively small changes.

Vincent
