Hi List!

And again (as frequently), I'm lost somewhere in the plugin API :-(
As there are frequent discussion about removing the "old style" API and only using the modern API, could this be done *now*? There seems to be concensus that it should be done AFAIR. 
It's already there. I've activated the switch in config.nmake yesterday.
If your plugin's makefile looks like the current makefiles of the official plugins, it should use the new API now. Then the plugin gets linked with epan/libethereal.lib instead of plugins/plugin_api.c. You don't need to modify the files in trunk/plugins anymore. The API is a part of epan/libethereal.def now. 
I'll keep an eye on the old API as long as we have it as a fallback.

Regards,
Lars
