Hi,

I'm looking for r45005 changes and it seems than new proto_item_append_string()
works different than previously.

Old code was changing value of field [both for text and filter],
new version changes only text (so it do the same as proto_item_append_text())

What's the reason of this change? Actually I'm afraid I know.
You want to avoid string formating penatly of proto_item_append_text().

But your changes is breaking current use, like filtering for frame.protocols == "XXXX"

Regards,
 Jakub.
