Maybe it’s enough just to remind the user to check the on-line Display Filter 
Reference page[1] rather than trying to manually track every change.

Subject: Re: [Wireshark-dev] [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 2794] Questionable display 
filter fields

Just let me know if you want me to keep track of the changed "first field of a 
protocol filter" for release note purposes.  Per bug 2794, I planned on 
changing a bunch once I can come up with a consistent naming convention (and 
then change dissectors to follow that convention).  The two biggest areas are 
"multiple subdissectors of a particular protocol" (ie H.248) and "common 
collection of protocols" (ie zbee, scsi).  My current thought is to have 
"multiple subdissectors of a particular protocol" keep the dot notation, (ie 
h248.<subprotocol>.<subprotocol field>) and have the "common collection of 
protocols" have an underscore inbetween (ie zbee_<protocol>.<subprotocol 
field>).  Comments are welcome.

Technically, I don't think ntppriv -> ntp.priv shouldn't need to be noted 
because "ntppriv" is not a dissector.  Those fields are part of a structure 
within "ntp".   To me this was one of the goals of bug 2794 - to ensure the 
first field always correponds to a dissector filter name.

Should we update the release notes if the first field of a protocol filter

changes?

In this particular example I've noticed two while looking at about 5 protocols

(pap -> prap, ntpptiv -> ntp.priv).
