I finally found the answer to my own question, in part. Release information can be found at this page: https://wiki.wireshark.org/Developmen...
The problem is it does not mention 3.7, which is where the change I need resides... is 3.7 just going to be rolled into the 4.0 stuff? Any info as to when this might be provided in a stable release would be appreciated.
A few more details: The rtps protocol dissector has a bug fix so that union information can be seen within the dissection. This fix is required for my particular project. Since my org does not like deploying dev releases of software, I need a stable release if at all possible. I'm not even sure if this type of bug would qualify as a "bug fix" under the guidelines, so while I know how to backport it, I'm not sure if I should attempt it.
Any info appreciated.
