After a pro-active bug hunt, bugs in many of the protocol dissectors were
rooted out. Ethereal 0.8.5 also contains new support for MPLS and has
a newly re-written LDAP dissector. Many other protocol dissectors were
enhanced and updated. Capturing on Win32 works better now, and supports
the newly released WinPcap 2.02 library. The wiretap netmon and iptrace
readers were updated as well.
