I have a custom protocol plugin that was working fine in 99.5, but in
99.6 the protocol column does not show the correct name. It only shows UDP or TCP where as before it had my custom name (AAA and BBB not that 
it matters).  It still dissects fine, and the filter works, but the
protocol column is wrong. Anyone else having this trouble?


Did you recompile your plug-in with 0.99.6 sources?
...and re-install it in the 0.99.6 directory? Currently, the ABIs for plugins are *NOT* stable, and may change from release to release, so
1) plugins are searched for in a directory containing the version numbers, so that plugins built and installed for versions other than the running version are *not* seen (i.e., that's by design and intent); 

	2) you have to recompile your plugin with every release.
