From Francesco Fondelli:
...
I defined a range_string struct. It's like value_string
but stores range <-> string pairs.
Moreover I wrote rval_to_str(), match_strrval_idx()
match_strrval() which are behaving exactly as
val_to_str(), match_strval_idx() and match_strval().

Change to show how to write a 'new style' dissector (that is, one that returns the number of bytes it was able to dissect). I think the Developer's Guide (docbook/) probably needs similar updates but I'm a bit shy about editing XML with good old vi; maybe if I can figure out if I can build the doc in the first place... Also rewrap a few pararaphs that went past 80 columns.

If you're doing TCP reassembly by hand rather than with
...
tcp_dissect_pdus(), pinfo->desegment_len indicates whether your
dissector needs more data from TCP or not - the return value doesn't
indicate that.
Fix typo.
It appears that the Id keyword is one of the case-insensitive ones in
the svn:keywords property, so if you set it to "ID" it still expands
"$Id$"; it also appears not to expand "$ID$". We use Revision, Date,
and Author in the document to indicate the revision, and don't expand
Id, so that references to "$Id$" get left alone.
Rewrap paragraphs.

Some applications do very naughty things like reusing a port for a different protocol during different stages of an application cycle.
...
This is very naughty and will cause problems when we have assigned a dissector to a dynamic port using conversation_set_dissector().
To make ethereal handle this case I have changed the try_conversation_dissector() to allow it to fail and return 0, meaning yes there is indeed a protocol registered for this conversation but that protocol rejected this packet.
(which only happens for "new" style dissectors, "old" style dissectors will never reject a packet that way)
When this happens the decode_udp_port() helper will still allow other dissectors to be tried, in the hope that the conversation is now used for some other protocol and thus someone else might be able to decode the packet.
Update SNMP and TFTP dissectors to check that even if there already is a conversation but that conversation does NOT have snmp/tftp registered as the dissector for it, then create a new conversation anyway and attach the proper dissector.
Since ethereal keeps track of which frame number a conversation started in, this actually works really well.
