New and updated features

Many often-requested features have been added with this release. If you're running an older version of Ethereal you may want to have a look.

Conversation List (aka "top talker") support has been added to Ethereal and Tethereal. Protocol statistics in general have been updated.

Searching capture files has been improved even more -- a new "contains" display filter operator that searches for strings in PDUs has been added. The Find dialog now supports case-insensitive searches, hex data searches, and more.

An H.225 dissector has been added. It can automatically recognize RTP and RTCP conversations.

A preference file has been added for disabled protocols.

Color filters may now be imported and exported from within Ethereal.

A new column type has been added for cumulative bytes.
