Hi Chris,

There was a bug with the c-ares 1.15.0 release where the version wasn’t
updated.  As such, Wireshark’s “About Wireshark” shows 1.14.0 instead of
the proper 1.15.0 version.

For example:

3.3.0 (v3.3.0rc0-114-gb098353ad9d3)

Compiled (64-bit) with Qt 5.12.6, with WinPcap SDK (WpdPack) 4.1.2, with
GLib
2.52.3, with zlib 1.2.11, with SMI 0.4.8, *with c-ares 1.14.0*, with Lua
5.2.4,
with GnuTLS 3.6.3 and PKCS #11 support, with Gcrypt 1.8.3, with MIT
Kerberos,
with MaxMind DB resolver, with nghttp2 1.39.2, with brotli, with LZ4, with
Zstandard, with Snappy, with libxml2 2.9.9, with QtMultimedia, with
AirPcap,
with SpeexDSP (using bundled resampler), with SBC, with SpanDSP, with
bcg729.

Running on 64-bit Windows 10 (1909), build 18363, with Intel(R) Xeon(R)
CPU
E3-1505M v5 @ 2.80GHz (with SSE4.2), with 16225 MB of physical memory,
with
locale English_United States.1252, with light display mode, without
HiDPI, with
Npcap version 0.9984, based on libpcap version 1.9.1, with GnuTLS 3.6.3,
with
Gcrypt 1.8.3, with brotli 1.0.2, with AirPcap 4.1.0 build 1622, binary
plugins
supported (19 loaded).

Built using Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 (VC++ 14.24, build 28314).

The bug was fixed upstream last year:
*https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/230*
<https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/230>.

Should Wireshark update the ares_version.h header file to avoid
confusion about which version of c-ares Wireshark is built with?


I just double checked the current vcpkg port and they fixed the header. So
I'm gonna update our package.


After further investigation it appears that the current vcpkg port is not
1.15.0, but a snapshot from 2019-05-02 (
https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/commit/9f1fdbf5dd633f81352fac0d6bc0d0c4d45be459)
so as to include support for ARM/ARM64. So we can either:
- use the current vcpkg port, but it will not be an official version (not
nice)
- manually rebuild 1.15.0 with
https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/commit/000e963fff596d817d03f366cd49b1fd2d6ec961
that is the real 1.15.0 + fixed header + some android doc updated. I'm
gonna take this path.

Pascal.
