Hi,

The trunk-1.0 tree is fed from the main trunk by hand. Bugfixes are selected 
for porting from the development trunk to the released trunk. Once enough 
fixes are ported a maintenance release is created, like 1.0.1 is a maintenance 
release of 1.0.0.

There is a significant difference between a fix and an enhancement. A fix is 
implemented functionality made to work correctly, while an enhancement extends 
functionality.

The revisions 24833 and 25146 show this difference. Revision 24833 states: 
"This patch improves MIKEY support in Wireshark", so qualifies as an 
enhancement. Revision 25146 states: "Fix for bug 2481: Remove debug code", so 
qualifies as a bugfix.

This leads to revision 25146 being ported to the maintenance release, while 
revision 24833 remains in the development tree, which will be released later on.

Thanx,
Jaap
