   i'm sure that there's a huge list of them... i never ran etheral and have no   
   problems with the older wireshark interface...

   bug fixes and module updates, mainly... there were some instances where   
   traffic could gain access or be missed by wireshark due to buffering   
   problems... it is highly recommended to use the latest version if at all   
   possible... especially when working with network traffic... it would not be a   
   good thing to have some infestation gain a foothold due to a bug in an   
   analysis tool like wireshark ;)
