I have a plug-in that was last built for 0.9.x. On 0.10.16 it no longer puts text into the INFO column, although the protocol decode is OK. I had this behaviour when running the code built for 0.8.x on 0.9.x, and simply recompiled to fix it.

The code to set the Info column isn't inside

	if (tree != NULL) {
		..

	}

(or "if (tree) { ... }"), right?

If it is, take it outside that if (making whatever changes are necessary to make that work) - there might've been cases where the protocol tree was built in 0.9.x but not in 0.10.y, so that it happened to work in 0.9.x but stopped working in 0.10.y.
