With paying jobs eating up a lot of our time this release has been a welcome relief from the daily slog. Whilst it’s primarily a cosmetic release, a lot of code has been cleaned making way for some additional features in the near future.

A small description of the changes are:

1. To accomodate the rapid release cycles of Snort additional fall back URLs are now provided.
2. Unified status messaging in the init scripts
3. Init scripts code undergone some significant restructuring
4. Cronjob entries moved from cron.daily to crontab
5. Additional error trapping and fault tolerance in the downloading of source tarballs.

Clearly a minor increment was well deserved given all these changes. Head to the project page and check out the new version.
