If you mean "capturing third-party Bluetooth traffic" - i.e., traffic other than that sent by and received by your machine - that's possible only with hardware such as Ubertooth:
http://ubertooth.sourceforge.net
If you mean "capturing traffic sent by and received by the machine running Wireshark", I know of no reason why it would have have *stopped* being possible.

See
http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Bluetooth
for information on the kernel and libpcap.
From
http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Bluetooth?action=recall&rev=18
(which is an old page) support for dissecting those captures dates back to at least 2011, so Wireshark 1.6.0 might have been the first release with dissection support to go with the capture support - if not, 1.8.0 probably handles it.
