Is it must for 1.0.0 to have dumpcap built in order to tshark work?
Yes, if you want to capture network traffic; both Wireshark and TShark run dumpcap to do the capturing (so the process doing the capturing, which might have to run with special privileges, doesn't do any dissection, so a bug in a dissector won't cause problems in a privileged process).
