Well, I guess your expectations are a bit off.

> 1. It would work on all protocols that had a FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME item (satisfying most of bug 1381)

It changed the date parser. It should work on any FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME item.

> 2. Missing date/time fields in the filter would be set to 0 and considered "don't care" (ie "frame.time == 2011-08-02" would filter all frames received on Aug 2, 2011, regardless of hour/minute/second values)

missing fields are set to 0, but you still get a timestamp, meaning a point in
time. If you want to display all frames captures today, you'll write a filter as

"frame.time>='2011-08-02 00:00:00' && frame.time<='2011-08-02 23:59:59'"
