type" when writing out a capture file (i.e., writing a
per-packet-encapsulation capture to a file type that supports it but
doesn't support one of the packet's encapsulations), report the packet
number and, when doing this in a merge operation, report the file from
which it came.
When reporting "sorry, that file can't be written to a file of that
type, period", show the file type rather than the input file link-layer
type that causes the problem. (We could show both. We could be
*really* ambitious and iterate through all possible file types and show
the ones that will or at least might work....)
file_write_error_message() is documented as handling only UNIX-style
errnos, and libwireshark should be usable without libwiretap, so leave
it up to its callers to handle Wiretap errors such as
WTAP_ERR_SHORT_WRITE.
Clean up indentation.

environment variable, and, if it's set, use it rather than the build
directory as the data file directory. This is to handle
out-of-source-tree builds.

in README.devloper. Remove g_gnuc.h since it's no longer needed. Remove
tvbuff_init(), tvbuff_cleanup(), reassemble_init(), and
reassemble_cleanup() since they were only used for older GLib versions
which didn't support GSlices. Assume we always support the "matches"
operator.

creating a new profile. This fixes a bug when trying to create a new profile
from a newly installed wireshark with no saved preferences.

Global profiles can be installed in a "profiles" directory in the
Global configuration directory, and a global profile will be copied
to the users profiles on first time usage.

LoadLibrary and g_module_open only for the program directory and system
directory on Windows. Use them to replace a bunch of LoadLibrary and
g_module_open calls. Use the extension ".dll" for all the DLLs that we
load. Add comments about DLL loading in Python.

In eo_save_entry(), don't assume you can write the entire object in a
single write call - if the object is big enough (which would require a
64-bit address space), and you're not lucky enough to be running on
UN*X (which means LP64, so size_t and ssize_t are big enough for the
entire object), you can't.

dladdr() in GNU libc isn't available (<dlfcn.h> doesn't define Dl_info)
unless _GNU_SOURCE is defined.
In addition, it's not guaranteed to return anything more useful than
argv[0]; just in case that changes at some point in the future, however,
we still use it, we just run it through the same machinery that we run
argv[0] through. (On Mac OS X, for example, the path of the executable
is handed to the run-time linker by the kernel, so it *is* useful
there.)

routines handled by epan/report_err.c.
Move copy_binary_file() in file.c to epan/filesystem.c, and rename it to
copy_file_binary_mode() (to clarify that it *can* copy text files;
arguably, *all* files are "binary" unless you're on, say, an IBM 1401
:-)). Have it use the report_err.c routines, so it works in
console-mode programs.
Clean up some comments while we're at it.

capinfos and dumpcap don't need to depend on libwireshark nor directly pull
in those modules). Because capinfos and editcap were only being linked with
privileges.c if we had plugins, this allows those programs to be linked when
someone is compiling --without-plugins.

libwireshark (and the plugins using those functions) do not depend on
wiretap on Windows.
While doing that, rename the eth_* functions to ws_*.

- Change ugly GLIB version checking statements to GLIB_CHECK_VERSION

g_strsplit code for the no longer supported GLIB1 builds

configure and use more than one set of preferences and configuration files.
This can be found in the "Configuration Profiles..." menu item from the Edit
menu, or by pressing Shift-Ctrl-A. It's also possible to start wireshark
and tshark with a named profile by using the "-C ProfileName" option.
A new status pane in the main window will show the current profile.
The configuration files currently stored in the Profiles are:
- Preferences
- Capture Filters
- Display Filters
- Coloring Rules
- Disabled Protocols
- User Accessible Tables
The recent data are by design not added to the profile.
Planned future enhancements:
- make a more convenient function to switch between profiles
- add a "clone profile" button to copy an existing profile
- make the profiles list active and accept return as OK
- save users "Decode as" in the profile
- make new, clone and deletion of profiles more secure
- make some of the recent values available in the profile
This patch also fixes:
- setting default status pane sizes
- a bug setting status pane for packets when not having main lower pane.
