Take a look at the LifeCycle wiki document (linked from the roadmap): http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/LifeCycle Basically, we're currently putting a new even numbered (stable) release once a year around the Sharkfest conference. The odd numbered releases are development (unstable), currently 1.5. Only bug fixes go into the current stable releases (1.4.x) and only more severe ones into the older stable (1.2.x). New features stay in 1.5.x and will become 1.6.x this year around Sharkfest (then the development branch will become 1.7.x). ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
