Re: Snort 2.4.1 Available

[Jennifer Steffens <jennifer.steffens () sourcefire com>]

I apologize if the note was not as detailed as it could have been. We 
expedited the release of the 2.4.1 source in response to numerous bugs 
including a possible DoS. All users, including those with Windows 
environments, are able to upgrade with the current release.

We will be continuing to work on the release to provide RPMs and win32 
builds. As always, we will provide builds as quickly possible and 
address the most commonly used platforms first.

If there is something else I am missing, please let me know.

Thanks,
Jennifer
