It may be a little overdue but we’ve finally got around to establishing some mailing lists that should for the most part provide a suitable forum for notifying of new releases, gathering user feedback and providing community support.

A single list per project has been established which can be seen at the summary page.

If you have any problems, comments or further suggestions then be sure to let us know. Now where did I put that TODO list …

The last week or so has been spent polishing up the rough edges and removing those little nuances that people had reported.

We’re quietly confident that the code is in a position for a final release of 1.7 and am prepared to set it free upon the world.

The 1.7 series culminates in a lot of changes from the 1.6 series and more importantly aligns to the most recent version of Snort 2.8.5.1. You are likely to have seen the last of the major core changes for some time with future releases being dedicated to stability and minor improvements.

The provided configuration file should explain the updated syntax sufficiently and where it does not be sure to let me know and we’ll make sure it is updated accordingly.

A big thanks goes to all the feedback that fed the 1.7 development process and we look forward to the next cycle.

On a final note, go grab the final and let us know how you go!
