as it standed depends on your lex being flex, but that only matters if you're
a developer. The distribution will include the dfilter-scanner.c file, so
that if the user doesn't modify dfilter-scanner.l, he won't need flex to
re-create the *.c file.
The new lex scanner gives me better syntax checking for ether addresses. I
thought I could get by using GScanner, but it simply wasn't powerful enough.
All operands have English-like abbreviations and C-like syntax:
and, && ; or, || ; eq, == ; ne, != ; , etc.
I removed the ETHER_VENDOR type in favor of letting the user use the [x:y]
notation: ether.src[0:3] == 0:6:29 instead of ether.srcvendor == 00:06:29
I implemented the IPXNET field type; it had been there before, but was
not implemented. I chose to make it use integer values rather than byte
ranges, since an IPX Network is 4 bytes. So a display filter looks like this:
ipx.srcnet == 0xc0a82c00
rather than this:
ipx.srcnet == c0:a8:2c:00
I can supposrt the byte-range type IPXNET in the future, very trivially.
I still have more work to do on the parser though. It needs to check ranges
when extracting byte ranges ([x:y]) from packets. And I need to get rid
of those reduce/reduce errors from yacc!

suggestion, this new method using a static array should use less memory
and be faster. It also has a nice side-effect of making the source-code
more readble, IMHO.
Changed the print routines to look for protocol proto_data instead of
looking at the text label as they did before, hoping that the data hex
dump field item starts with "Data (".
Added the -G keyword to ethereal to make it dump a glossary of display
filter keywords to stdout and exit. This data is then formatted with
the doc/dfilter2pod perl program to pod format, which is combined
with doc/ethereal.pod.template to create doc/ethereal.pod, from which
the ethereal manpage is created. This way we can keep the manpage up-to-date
with a list of fields that can be filtered on.

mechanism that is built into ethereal. Wiretap is now used to read all
file formats. Libpcap is used only for capturing.

reference the protocol tree with struct proto_tree and struct proto_item
objects. That way, the packet decoding source code file can be used with
non-gtk packet decoders, like a curses-based ethereal, e.g. I also re-arranged
some of the information in packet.h to more appropriate places (like other
packet-*.[ch] files).

because it is still in its infancy, but it can be compiled in optionally.
The library exists in its own subdirectory ethereal/wiretap. This patch also
edits all the packet-*.c files to remove the #include <pcap.h> line which is
unnecessary in these files. In the ethereal code, file.c is the most heavily
modified with #ifdef WITH_WIRETAP lines for the optional library.
