Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Supported GnuTLS/glib/libgcrypt versions?

[Peter Wu <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Michal reported to me that a recent change in the SSL dissector was not
compatible with older GnuTLS versions[1].

The changes introduced the use of functions gnutls_pubkey_import and
gnutls_pubkey_import_rsa_raw which were introduced with GnuTLS 2.12.0 in
2011-03-24 (2.11.3 development). Michal is using (RHEL6?) GnuTLS 2.8.5
(released in November 2009).

Since the minimum Qt4 version for upcoming Wireshark 2.0 is already
higher than what RHEL6 ships, would you mind if the GnuTLS version is
also bumped?

Speaking of bumping library versions, can we also bump the glib and
libgcrypt versions? Current versions are glib 2.14 and libgcrypt
1.1.92. If we could go to glib 2.28 (Feb 2011) and gcrypt 1.5.0 (Jun
2011), it would enable us to use newer functions such as
g_list_free_full.

I have also added GnuTLS and libgcrypt to the wiki for comparison:
