Just a question regarding the last point:
Designate a set of dissectors as "known safe"?
What are the requirements for such dissectors and what are the
consequences?
Best regards

Enough major changes have been introduced since the last release to
warrant bumping the minor revision. I figure we may as well bump it
to
0.99.0 in order to prepare for an impending 1.0 release.
Along with the items in http://wiki.ethereal.com/Development/Roadmap
I'd
like to do the following before 1.0:
- Finalize dumpcap - Ulf, I'm not sure how much work is left, but is
dumpcap in good enough shape for a security audit? If so, we
could
make it set{u|g}id on platforms that need it.
tethereal doesn't use dumpcap, so it's not finished yet.
- Smooth out the Windows file dialogs: The "Filter" button doesn't
work, for instance.
Get us a nice file dialog for Unix/Linux as well.
- Improve our packages:
- Polish the RPM spec file. (The last time I tried to build the
SRPM under SUSE, it failed.)
I can have a look at that during the next two weeks (lots of work
currently).
- Fix the annoying display-filter-stalls-due-to-hostname-lookup bug.
I think this is "fixed" for people who have turned off network name
resolving but not when it is turned on?
- Add version checking to the Help menu, similar to Firefox and
other
apps?
I don't think so. We really shouldn't be doing a package management
stuff inside each application.
- Designate a set of dissectors as "known safe"?
I'm undecided :)
As far as the discussion on api-stability is concerned: I don't care
about the api getting stable - ever. On the contrary, a stable api
would
hamper the development.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff
that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
