Build Information:
Wireshark 1.10.0 release code
--
Within the company I work for, I am one of the maintainers of an internal fork
of the Wireshark code. I have the pleasure of merging the changes between 1.8.7
and 1.10.0 into our code and after resolving 67 merge conflicts (yay running a
hybrid of 1.8.7 and trunk).

With the release of 1.10.0, a couple of API functions have become deprecated,
svn commit 35229 showed this:

Deprecate dissector_add(), dissector_change(), dissector_delete(),
dissector_get_port_handle(), dissector_reset(), dissector_try_port(),
dissector_try_port_new(), and next_tvb_add_port().

I have also noticed that various functions have been given extra paramters,
like call_dissector_only, dissect_fcip_heur etc.

Nowhere in the documentation which came with 1.10.0 I was able to determine
these changes. I would really appreciate it if there was a document which
describes these changes so people in the same situation as I am can find easily
what the deprecated functions are and what the changes in the parameters for
existing functions are.
