I didn't see this actually hit the list, so I'm forwarding it just in
case it was missed.
We'll likely target the 1st 4.xx release around the end of September.

Subject: tcpdump 4.xx preperations
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I split the sources in the Makefile.in into a new section,
LIBNETDISSECT_SRC, which makes libnetdissect.a.
Sources in this file should set #define NETDISSECT_REWORKED
before they #include "interface.h". This removes all the
compatibility
macros.
All functions that use any of the new macros need to have a local
called "ndo" passed down to them, and should be modified as follows:
TCHECK(foo) -> ND_TCHECK(foo)
TCHECK2(foo,bar) -> ND_TCHECK2(foo,bar)
TTEST(var) -> ND_TTEST(var)
printf(foo) -> ND_PRINT((foo))
vprintf(ap,len) -> ND_DEFAULTPRINT((ap,len))
vflag -> ndo->ndo_vflag
snapend -> ndo->ndo_snapend
(..etc)
I will be working on these slowly in the next week.
I have revised the test cases to be a lot simpler to do new ones,
and to be table driven.
cd tests
./TESTone pattern
runs on test, (the first one that matches /^pattern/)
./TESTrun
runs them all.
I am proposing that the HEAD of the tree becomes tcpdump 4.xx
(not 4.x.y). If we need to do 4.xx.yy, it would be for security fixes
*ONLY*.
I am proposing that the next libpcap be called 1.zz, and that libpcap
and tcpdump will not be released on the same schedule, i.e. that
xx != zz.
(oh, and there is an ikev2 dissector, but it doesn't decrypt yet.
Thanks
to Tero Kivinen for his 16MB file of somewhat hostile IKEv2
messages..)
