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. - Chris [1]: http://www.wireshark.org/docs/dfref/

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. -----Original Message----- From: Joerg Mayer <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: wireshark-dev <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Sun, Jul 22, 2012 7:55 am Subject: Re: [Wireshark-dev] [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 2794] Questionable display filter fields 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).
