Hi
Heads up to anyone who wrote his own plugin using the tap system, the number of arguments to tap_packet_cb has changed. Basically means that you have to adapt your tapPacket callback function to ensure it is still working for 4.0.
The reason for the change was that this gives more control to the registered tap listeners on how the packets are tapped, more specifically how certain information is being used. First use will be an implementation of a total count for conversation and endpoint dialogs, which otherwise simply would not work.
In general, the flags given to register_tap_listener will be provided to tap_packet_cb as a 5th argument. If they are not used, nothing will change from existing behavior. The change is implemented now, as we are coming up to a breaking point with 4.0 and otherwise we would have to introduce it in a 4.x branch which just does not make sense.
If you don't know what any of this means, you are probably in the clear. Also, if you have not used the tap system, you are in the clear as well.
The change is already merged, so you can immediately see if your 3rd-party plugin still works or not.
kind regards
Roland
