Is it guaranteed that a 1.2.x plugin runs with Wireshark 1.4.x?

Jaap and Joerg are referring to the same stable branch, so any newer 
version of 1.2.x than the one you compiled with (or newer 1.4.x than 
the one you compiled it with).

This is because the stable branches are split from the development 
version at a point in time and then only important bug fixes are copied 
from the latest development version to the stable branch.

The development version 1.1 was turned into 1.2 and then development 
jumped to be version 1.3.  Version 1.4 is not based on 1.2, but rather 
the development 1.3 version.  After 1.4 was released, the development 
version number jumped ahead again to be 1.5.  More information can be 
found at http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/LifeCycle and perhaps a 
simple drawing would help on that page.
