[Oisf-devel] Suricata 1.1 beta 1 released

[Victor Julien]

Hi everyone,

We have just released Suricata 1.1 beta 1, the first beta for the
upcoming 1.1 release.

Get the new release here:
http://www.openinfosecfoundation.org/download/suricata-1.1beta1.tar.gz

New features

- New keyword support: http_raw_header, http_stat_msg, http_stat_code.
- A new default pattern matcher, Aho-Corasick based, that uses much less
memory.
- reference.config support as supplied by ET/ETpro and VRT.

Improvements

- Much improved fast_pattern support, including for http_uri,
http_client_body, http_header, http_raw_header.
- Improved parsers, especially the DCERPC parser.
- Much improved performance & accuracy.

Please, if you have some spare cycles, give this a try. In our testing
it's quite stable, so it should be fairly safe to try it!
