This beta 3 release was a little later than anticipated and I blame the Oktoberfest for that.

In short this beta release has the following:

1. Some issues with the tcpdump logging output addressed and ready for testing.
2. A new RPM spec has been applied thanks to Tom McLaughlin.
3. Initial packet/event caching mechanism to better handle reading alerts based on streams (to be completed by 1.7 stable).

With the snort 2.8.5 just released we will be extending the 1.7 beta to align the codebase to the new version and also sort out the aforementioned item 3 and hopefully make Jonathan a happy man.

You know the drill – download, use, abuse, flame
