As discussed previously we'll drop support for Qt 4 and GTK+ in the master branch after master-2.6 is created. Unless there are strong objections I'd like to bump the minimum GLib version to 2.32.As a note, Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 is in Maintenance 2 support until late 2020, and only ships Glib 2.28 afaik. Would this mean no Wireshark 2.6 support for EL6 based Linux distributions?
If I understand correctly 2.6 will still have GTK Qt4 and older Glib, the removal will take place in master(2.7) which probably will become 3.0 at release.
If EL6 support is still desirable, an option might be developing to the Glib 2.32 interface, but providing wrappers (polyfil) for the few bits of Glib used by Wireshark that are different or not available in 2.28.
