1.5.3 Thu Mar 3 08:55:11 PST 2011
- Removing aux/broctl/policy/cluster-addrs.hot.bro from the
distribution. The script is no longer needed and could in fact break
an installation because it redefines an old variable that has went
away. (Robin Sommer)
- Smarter way to increase the communication module's pipe's socket
buffer size, resulting in a value closer to the allowed maximum.
(Craig Leres)
- BroControl now also maintains links from the log archive to the
current set of logs when running in standalone mode. (Robin Sommer)
- Bug fix for a file descriptor leak in the remote communication
module. (Scott Campbell)
- Bug fix for BroControl to now activate trace-summary's sampling in
cluster mode, but not anymore in standalone mode. (Robin Sommer)
- Broccoli updates:
* Accept empty strings ("") as values in the configuration file.
(Craig Leres)
* Support for specifying a separate host key for SSL-enabled
operation, with documentation update. (Craig Leres)
