1 new commit since last upload, is it time to release? normal

vcswatch reports that this package seems to have new commits in its VCS but has not yet updated debian/changelog. You should consider updating the Debian changelog and uploading this new version into the archive.

Here are the relevant commit logs:

commit 4313bc9bfeb61628d42354dd2a14e6f57158dcf2
Author: Balint Reczey <balint@balintreczey.hu>
Date:   Thu Apr 24 23:42:49 2025 +0200

    debian/control.in: Make libwireshark-dev depend on libglib2.0-dev
    
    instead of on libgio-2.0-dev. This helps backporting and wireshark
    itself build-depends on libglib2.0-dev already.
    
    Also remove wireshark-dev's direct dependency on libglib2.0-dev because
    it transitively depends on it through libwireshark-dev.
