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.
