A big one in 0.8.5. From the NEWS file:

* Break proto_tree_add* functions into many more (Gilbert, Guy)

Specifically, the proto_tree_add_item_format() function is gone.
We split that into multiple functions so that when compiling with gcc the compiler
could warn about an incorrect number of arguments to the printf() format. To do that,
gcc needed the printf()-style format as a named argument in the function prototype.
We had to move the "..." over a few fields.

And as my previous e-mail mentioned, I'm planning a big change.
