[Oisf-announce] Suricata 3.2beta1 is available for testing

[Victor Julien]

We're happy to announce Suricata 3.2beta1. The plan is to release a
release candidate within a few weeks, so please help us test this release!

This release includes a large detection engine rewrite that should make
it much easier to extend Suricata with new keywords.

We've also converted the user guide to sphinx. Lots of work still to be
done, but for a preview check http://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
