[Oisf-users] Suricata 2.0.9 Available!

[Victor Julien]

The OISF development team is pleased to announce Suricata 2.0.9. This
release fixes a number of issues in the 2.0 series.

Couple of important fixes: defrag evasion, a crash when using certain
rules (mixing regular content and relative bytejumps with dce option)
and better detection of TCP retransmissions with different data.
