Okay, I believe the *nix version "2.0.0" versus Win32 version "2.0.0rc5" has been bantered back and forth sufficiently for this mailing list. I would like to end the discussion with the following summary of the cause. The problem is: these two version definitions are defined in two different places. "configure.in" for *nix, and the non-autogenerated "config.h" for Win32. The static Win32 config.h file never got updated in the tarball, so any person who downloads the official final 2.0.0 tarball from the snort.org website, compiles it, and then runs it will see version "2.0.0rc5", even though in fact they are running the official "2.0.0" version. Since this became apparent, I have tried to put measures in place to ensure this failure to synchronize these two versions does not happen again in the future. Nothing beneficial is gained by degrading the discussion down to a religious "my-platform-is-better-than-yours-is" flame war. I'm going to assume that everybody knows this, and that we're all smart enough not to be baited into participating. So, I suggest we all walk away from this thread now...
