Hello list followers,

a very happy new year to all of you!

I had some free time during the christmas days and backed a new testing
image for suricata:

https://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/suricata/Images/ipfire-2.21.x86_64-suricata-beta4-full-core127.iso

It contains a lot of bug fixes and improvements suggested on this list.

As usual please do a lot of testing and report back any issues and
suggestions.

Thanks in advance,

-Stefan
