So either wait for that to get merged and then update the local package or use my fork/patch directly if eager to try Bro 2.6-beta. > and my redef line below: > redef Communication::listen\_interface = 127.0.0.1; > > gets me: > error in /usr/local/bro/share/bro/site/local.bro, line 102: "redef" used > but not previously defined (Communication::listen\_interface) The equivalent functionality is now:     redef Broker::default\_listen\_address = "127.0.0.1"; (The underlying communication systems in Bro have been completely replaced with a new library called "Broker"). > reverted back to 2.5.5 now....yeesh. There's quite a few potential incompatibilities with upcoming Bro 2.6, so worth seeing release notes: [https://www.bro.org/sphinx-git/install/release-notes.html](https://www.bro.org/sphinx-git/install/release-notes.html) Generally a hope is that future releases minimize breakages for users, but there were some big fundamental changes that made it hard to avoid for 2.6. Let me know if you give it another shot and have further trouble. - Jon ---
