There was a bug with the c-ares 1.15.0 release where the version wasn’t updated. As such, Wireshark’s “About Wireshark” shows 1.14.0 instead of the proper 1.15.0 version.
For example:
3.3.0 (v3.3.0rc0-114-gb098353ad9d3)
Compiled (64-bit) with Qt 5.12.6, with WinPcap SDK (WpdPack) 4.1.2, with GLib
2.52.3, with zlib 1.2.11, with SMI 0.4.8, with c-ares 1.14.0, with Lua 5.2.4,
with GnuTLS 3.6.3 and PKCS #11 support, with Gcrypt 1.8.3, with MIT Kerberos,
with MaxMind DB resolver, with nghttp2 1.39.2, with brotli, with LZ4, with
Zstandard, with Snappy, with libxml2 2.9.9, with QtMultimedia, with AirPcap,
with SpeexDSP (using bundled resampler), with SBC, with SpanDSP, with bcg729.
Running on 64-bit Windows 10 (1909), build 18363, with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU
E3-1505M v5 @ 2.80GHz (with SSE4.2), with 16225 MB of physical memory, with
locale English_United States.1252, with light display mode, without HiDPI, with
Npcap version 0.9984, based on libpcap version 1.9.1, with GnuTLS 3.6.3, with
Gcrypt 1.8.3, with brotli 1.0.2, with AirPcap 4.1.0 build 1622, binary plugins
supported (19 loaded).
Built using Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 (VC++ 14.24, build 28314).
Should Wireshark update the ares_version.h header file to avoid confusion about which version of c-ares Wireshark is built with?
