I developed a plugin which works for 0.10.10. Now as I update to current version of ethereal, that plugin no longer works. Any idea?

The APIs and ABIs exported by Ethereal to plugins are not guaranteed to remain the same from release to release. You would need to recompile your plugin for the new version of Ethereal (and you might also have to change the code to make it compile).
