2008/06/30 - SSP 3.0 Beta w/Snort 2.8.2 Engine module


SSP 3.0 Beta:

* SSP builds with gcc 2.95.3 and up.  It has been built with icc 7.1 and 10.1.
  It can run with NPTL or old Linux threads.  It can run on 2.4 or 2.6
  kernels.

* The Windows operating systems are not supported.

* The ipq DAQ has not been compiled or tested.  Use it at your own risk.


Snort 2.8.2.1:

* This release is the initial port of snort to SSP.  Full integration is
  underway (eg to use the SSP packet_t directly instead of converting that to
  the Snort 2.8 Packet).

* Most but not all of the Snort 2.8.2.1 code was ported; see README.bridge for
  details.


Snortsp-3.0.0b1:

* Changed to compile with no-strict-aliasing.

* Fixed shutdown when no interface was specified at start up.


Snortsp-3.0.0b2:

* Fixed compiler warnings in snort_checksum.h.

* Changed configure.in to require uuid lib and headers.

* Changed analytic sfip_compare() to handle IP=0 as wild.

* Fixed analytic stream ignore's check for unset IP addresses.

* Added --pcap-dir and --pcap-reset to sspiffy.sh and reworked generated lua
  code.

* Replaced sspiffy.sh environment variables POLICY and SNORTSP_PREFIX with
  --policy and --prefix command line arguments.

* Added u2boat tool; initial version converts unified2 files to pcaps.

* Changed build to install READMEs, man pages, etc.

* Miscellaneous clean up before integration begins.

* Changed IPv6 load balancing to use only the least significant 32 bits of
  each address.

* Replaced __always_inline usage with ALWAYS_INLINE and defined it
  appropriately.
