Thanks for the pointer and the following explanations. Now that I feel I *may* have understood the numbering, I have a new proposal/question: As we strive to keep our libs downward compatible inside a stable release (i.e. the newer libs should be usable with lower versions of plugins and wireshark?) we may want to add -version as well? How about naming the libs for Wireshark <major>.<minor>.<release> something like -release <major>.<minor> -version-info <release>:0:<release>? Ciao Jörg -- Joerg Mayer <jma...@loplof.de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
