quit. Temporary coloring filters can be set by:
- pressing <ctrl>-<digit> will create a conversation coloring filter based on the
addresses of the currently selected packet (order TCP/UDP/IP/Ethernet)
This can also be achieved from the "View|Colorize Conversation" menu.
- Rightclicking on a packet in the packet-list will give the option to
"Colorize Conversation" just as "Conversation Filter" does.
- Rightclicking on an item in the packet-detail-list will give the option to
"Colorize with filter" which works similar to "Apply as filter"
Temporary filters can be cleared from the same menus or by pressing <ctrl>-<space>.
This patch also adds an item to the above mentioned menu's to add a permanent color filter
in the same way.
The colors for the temporary coloring rules are now hardcoded as I do not know
how to change the color of menu-items and therefore I chose to use icons to
show the actual color of each of the ten temporary coloring rules. Is it at all
possible to have different menu items in different colors?
One other way of solving this is to recreate the icons on the fly after changing
the colors. I will have a look into that once it is clear whether I can use
different colors within the menu structure.

G_INLINE_FUNC
#define G_INLINE_FUNC
This macro is used to export function prototypes so they can be linked with an external version when no inlining is performed. The file which implements the functions should define G_IMPLEMENTS_INLINES before including the headers which contain G_INLINE_FUNC declarations. Since inlining is very compiler-dependent using these macros correctly is very difficult. Their use is strongly discouraged.
This macro is often mistaken for a replacement for the inline keyword; inline is already declared in a portable manner in the glib headers and can be used normally.

The purpose of the patch is to provide a new output format (so it is
independent of -V): single line record per-packet with the fields chosen by the
user, with configuration options to control separator, quoting and whether a
header line is printed. It also extends some existing options behaviour (-c and
-a:filesize) so that they affect reading a file as well as writing one, so that
only the first <n> packets or bytes are read).

Fix for bug #491: Unexpected frame.time_delta behavior
This patch ... fixes bug 491. It does this by changing the

time between captured packets (tshark already did this). To keep
the delta time between displayed packets, the field
frame.time_delta_displayed is created.

I've had a good look at the code in packet-tcp.c, and whilst it's
somewhat impenetrable, I've come to the conclusion that it just doesn't
support multiple pdus as described.
That's not entirely unreasonable in itself; my objection is solely to
the fact that README.developer is completely misleading. In fact, even
the example dissect_cstr won't work on the tcp dissector, because if you
set desegment_len=1 the tcp dissector believes that you know what you
are doing and doesn't let you change your mind later.
Furthermore, 2.7.2 says that you can set desegment_len=-1; that doesn't
work either, because the tcp dissector expects
DESEGMENT_ONE_MORE_SEGMENT, which is 0x0fffffff, which is nowhere near -1.
In short, I think the relevant section of README.developer needs a
rewrite. I attach a patch - comments welcome.

In the Developers Guide, Section 9.3, Example 9.17. Decompressing data
packets for dissection
The code calls tvb_set_free_cb() for the newly created next_tvb. This
is unnecessary as the call to tvb_set_child_real_data() adds next_tvb to
the chained list of tvb, thus ensuring that next_tvb is correctly
deleted. In fact when I had the call in, Visual Studio kept breaking
deep down in ntdll.dll, probably because of a double free every time the
main tvb was deleted.

if set, and if the program isn't running with additional privileges,
it'll treat the directory in which the program is found as the data

If, on Windows, the version-number subdirectory of {data
directory}\plugins doesn't exist (which is assumed to mean that the
program is being run from the build directory), or if, on UN*X,
WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY is set, the plugin directory is the
"plugins" subdirectory of the data directory, and all subdirectories of
that directory are scanned for plugins, as the "plugins" subdirectory of
the build directory contains subdirectories for the plugins; this means
that if we're running from the build directory, we'll find the plugins
we built in the build tree.
When generating the wireshark-filter man page, run tshark with
WIRESHARK_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIRECTORY set, so it uses the plugins from the
build to generate the list of filters.

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.
