Hi, I'd like to create the 1.12 branch this Friday (May 23) followed by 1.12.0rc1 in late May or early June. I'm planning on the following: In master-1.12: - Set the major.minor versions to 1.12. - Choose sensible names for the GTK+ and Qt binaries in the NSIS installer, e.g. "Wireshark" and "Wireshark 2 preview" - Enable GTK+ and disable Qt by default in the NSIS installer. - Switch the 64-bit OS X package back to GTK+ while quietly weeping[1]. - Drop support for Windows XP[2]. In master: - Set the major.minor versions to 1.99. - Choose sensible names for the GTK+ and Qt binaries in the NSIS installer, e.g. "Wireshark" and "Wireshark 1" - Enable Qt and disable GTK+ by default in the NSIS installer. [1] Reverting the OS X installer back to GTK+ assumes that it's better to ship the same interface for each of our platforms than to make one different, less complete, but (IMHO) nicer. [2] About 7.5% of the visitors to www.wireshark.org are still running XP[3]. We can declare support for XP in 1.12, but given our third party library dependencies that might be a promise we can't keep. [3] You're making the Internet tangibly worse at this point. Please stop. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
