Subject: Re: Suricata 4.1 reference config errors

Thank you Jason.

I went ahead and moved to Suricata 4.1 but upon starting it I received the below error for every rule with a reference. I have also pasted in a copy of my reference config to verify that it is correct but it is the same config that came with 4.1 and no changes on my part. 

Also issues with the class types and I have placed the relevant information towards the end.

Am I at loss of what I can change to fix this issue. Any help? Or is this an issue in the code?

Version 2 of the file-store will be available in 4.1, and is also 
currently available in git-master, but not in 4.0.x.

If you are seeing the documentation for it, it is because 
suricata.readthedocs.io shows the documentation for git-master unless 
you pick a specific version. Sorry for the confusion.

Jason
