1.0.12
Pending Tasks
- Move over the following revisions:
Proposed Changes
- make plugin API and ABI stable, so binary plugins will be working with more than one Wireshark version
- Version checking.
- Windows updater.
- Finish the native Windows interface and integrate it with the main trunk
- Make the capture filter syntax the same as the display filter syntax?
- Add privilege separation for dissection
- Add thread/multiprocessor support
... well, maybe all the points mentioned in the WishList!
Unsorted
Security improvements (see also: Security)
- Add privilege separation for POSIX environments (in progress)
- Add a similar mechanism for the Windows environment
- Enhance the API to make it easier to write secure code (e.g. add tvb_get_gstring())?
- Documentation of library API's (e.g. wiretap)
Discussion
Is the native Windows interface still a desirable target? - the Windows integration is pretty good in it's current form -- UlfLamping
