Subject: [Snort-users] Snort 2.0 rc1 available

The Snort 2.0 release candidate 1 is available for your testing. We've
been working on and tweaking Snort 2.0 for quite a while now and it's
looking like it's ready to go. Please download it and check it out at
the earliest opportunity. If you find any bugs, please read the
doc/BUGS file before submitting a bug report, Snort works on too many
platforms for us to guess at your configuration!

  This version features:

* Higher performance (due to a new pattern matcher and rebuilt
detection engine)
* Better decoders
* Enhanced stream reassembly and defragmentation
* Tons of bug fixes
* Updated rules
* Updated snort.conf
* New detection keywords (byte_test, byte_jump, distance, within) &
stateful pattern matching
* New HTTP flow analyzer
* Enhanced anomaly detection (HTTP, RPC, TCP, IP, etc)
* Better self preservation in stateful sunsystems
* Xrefs fixed
* Flexresp works faster and more effectively
* Better chroot()'ing
* Fixed 802.1q decoding
* Better async state handling
* New alerting option: -A cmg!!

The source tarball is available at
http://www.snort.org/dl/snort-2.0.0rc1.tar.gz. A win32 build will
follow shortly!

Brought to you by the character ':', the letters 'w' and 'q' and the
number 0x41414141. Enjoy!
