The Wireshark release policy can be found on the wiki page: ReleasePolicy · Wiki · Wireshark Foundation / wireshark · GitLab

TL;DR; Only bugfixes are backported from master to a stable branch.  Increasing dissector support for more protocol coverage is a grey area.

Normally it is a cut-off date. Exceptions are only made for bigger bug-fixes and security fixes

A quick question. I have been working on nvme dissector and I see that some changes from dev tree are in and some are left out.

How  is release selection made? Is it a cut-off date or manual choice?
