Hi,

I have run tools/git-compare-abis.sh on latest master-1.6
(wireshark-1.6.4-21-ga6c3642).

The ABI is almost totally stable [1], which is very good sign for plugin
developers and for anyone using Wireshark's libraries.  :-)

There is only a minor incompatibility in packet-zbee-zcl.h caused by
changed constants, which could be fixed by not backporting r40133.

The ABI change is the result of fixing a bug. If we revert the change
the ZigBee ZCL dissector will revert back to its previous broken
behavior and packet-zbee-zcl.h will have incorrect definitions.
Shouldn't we change the libwireshark version from 2:0:1 to 2:1:0 instead?
