Overview of changes in Ethereal 0.8.8:

Various protocol dissectors were updated in Ethereal 0.8.8, including
DHIS/DDTP, OSI CLNP, CLTP, and ISIS, PPP, RTSP, IPv6, LPD, RTSP, DNS,
FTP, ISAKMP, and SINEC H1.  Ethereal now has dissectors for RTCP, RTP,
and the MS Proxy Protocol. The GUI behavior has been tweaked, the Win32
version now has a program icon, and some internals (for those of you
