The new release includes many bug fixes and new features.Thanks for testing out the Release Candidate, a good number of bugs were squashed for the Final release. To that end, we're pleased to announce the availability of 2.2.0 Final. The following items list what has changed from RC1->Final. Please check it out and let us know what you think!
- Updated database schema diagram from Chris Reid. Schema can be found in ./doc/snort_schema_v106.pdf
- Added --include-pcre* configuration option to help cross compiling. Thanks Erik de Castro Lopo.
- Fixed thresholding/suppression issue with queuing multiple events per packet. Thanks Andreas Ostling.
- When a rebuilt stream causes an alert, log out the original packets instead of the rebuilt packet. Thanks sekure@gmail.com for the report.
- Turned off http_inspect alerts that were causing false positives in the preset webserver profiles (Thanks Dan Roelker).
- Turn off encoding alerts in HTTP parameter field. The parameter field is still normalized, it just doesn't alert. This helps reduce alerts that are generated from complex parameter queries (Thanks Dan Roelker).
- Fixed memory leak in "fast" output. Thanks for your bug report sekure@gmail.com.
- Clear error code which under Windows was causing a subsequent false failure in parsing threshold rules. (Thanks to Rich Adamson)
