I'd like to release Wireshark 0.99.8 in a couple of weeks, followed by a 1.0 on
March 31 at Sharkfest. The tentative release dates are:
Feb 18 - 0.99.8 pre1
Feb 25 - 0.99.8 final
Mar 17 - 1.0 pre1
Mar 31 - 1.0 final
The schedule above reflects a slight change to the versioning scheme. From now
on, even minor numbers will be used for final releases, and odd numbers will be
used for development releases. That is, when the 0.99.8 brach is created on
February 18, the version in the trunk will be changed to 0.99.9. On March 17, a
branch will be created for 1.0.0, and the trunk will be changed to 1.0.1.
