Hello list,

today im very happy to announce a new test image with the latest
snapshot of the process bringing suricata to all of you.

The image is now hosted and provided by the nightly build feature (a
big thanks to Michael for providing this) of IPFire, so if development
goes on, every time a new image will be generated and easily can be
downloaded.

The latest image always can be grabbed from here:

https://nightly.ipfire.org/next-suricata/latest/x86_64/

Direct link for downloading the ISO image:

https://nightly.ipfire.org/next-suricata/latest/x86_64/ipfire-2.21.x86_64-full-core128.isof

There is currently one known issue, that any kind of snort rules
(sourcefire) currenty can not be downloaded, so you have to use the
rulesets from emergingthreads for testing. This issue will be fixed
with the next image provided by the nightly build service.

Thanks for downloading and testing, as usual please file any bugs to
our bugtracker (https://bugzilla.ipfire.org) and share your feedback on
this list.

Best regards,

-Stefan
