Does db schema currently in uses with Barnyard2 2-1.13-BETA support IPV6? 
Is it capable to handle to alert generated by snort in IPv6 network?

Greetings everyone, 

 We are happy to announce the Availability of Barnyard2 2-1.13-BETA 
 which can be downloaded from HERE: 
https://github.com/firnsy/barnyard2.git 


This release is a bug fix release that also introduce a few new 
 features and enhancements 


 ===================== 
 UPGRADING REQUIREMENT 
 ===================== 
 ---------------------- 
 If you are upgrading to barnyard2 2-1.13 Build 325 or above from a 
 previous version  that is not 2-1.13 and using the output database. 

***** We highly recommend ****** 
 To delete every row in your sig_reference table. (DELETE FROM 
sig_reference;) 
 The table will be re-populated at  process startup, and has no impact 
on historical data.

 Feature request: 
 ---------------- 
 Phil Daws:        Add interface and hostname field to spo_alert_csv if 
                          specified. 
 Jorge Pinto:      spo_syslog_full support for ASCII,BASE64 payload 

 Jason Brvenik:  variables .....(a long time ago, sorry :P) 

 Martin Olsson:  Remove some useless verbosity unless 
                         ./configure --enable-debug is specified and 
proper 
                          flag are used (spo_database and sid-msg.mapv2) 

 *And all other barnyard2 users who help and contribute. 

 Bug report: 
 ----------- 
 Martin Olsson:              - bug in sig_reference generation and good 
                                        discussions. 

 John Eure and others   - autogen.sh could cause some issue on some system 
so 
                                        [autoreconf -fv --install] is 
not set to autoreconf -fvi 

 John Naggets               - spo_database: could stop barnyard2 from 
                                         processing new event if some 
packets with ip 
                                         option where processed and 
option_len  was null. 

 Fäbu Hufi                     - spo_syslog_full: in complete mode was 
                                        printing wrong ip version 
information and ip header length.

 New feature: 
 ------------ 


 Support for sid-msg.map Version 2 format. 
 ------- 
 A new sig-msg.map format can be generated by pulledpok (upcoming release, 
 already in svn). Detection of sid-msg.map version is done by a simple 
 header in the  file that shouldn't be altered if you want it to be 
processed correctly. 

 sig-msg.map version 2 format extend the information already present in 
 the sid-msg.map file created from rules. 

This new format version allow signature  pre-population if users are 
using output database method with  barnyard2 2-1.13 and above. 
 ______________________ 
 sid-msg.map v1 format: 
 ______________________ 
 SID || MSG || REF 1 || REF N 
 sid := integer 
 msg := string 
 ref := string 
 ______________________ 
 sid-msg.map v2 format: 
 ______________________ 
 GID || SID || REV || CLASSIFICATION || PRIORITY || MSG || REF 1 || REF N 
 gid := integer 
 sid := integer 
 rev := integer 
 classification := string (if NULL set to NOCLASS) 
 priority := integer (if prio == 0, classification priority is used) 
 msg := string 
 ref := string 
 ===================== 
 generator (GID, gen-msg.map) are defaulted to the following value 
 if their information is not overruled in sid-msg.map v2 file via 
 processing of preprocessor.rules: 
 revision 1 
 classification 0 
 priority 3 
 If generator message is present in the sid-msg.map v2 file, and 
 gen-msg.map message are longer 
 (more comprehensive by string length), 
 gen-msg.map messages are used instead of sid-msg.map v2 file 
generator messages. 
 ===================== 
  ------- 


Signature/event logging suppression at spooler level 
 ------- 
 Read doc/README.sig_suppression 
 configuration file Variables: 
 ------- 

Barnyard2 configuration Variables 
  ------- 
 You can now use [var VARNAME value] in the barnyard2 configuration 
 file and every 
  instance of $VARNAME will get replaced by value. 
  Note that variable declaration order is important only you include a 
 variable in a variable. 
  EX (is VALID): 
  var INTERFACE ethX 
  var PATH /var/log/IDS 
  var LOG $PATH/$INTERFACE/log 
  var ARCHIVE $PATH/$INTERFACE/archive 
  EX (is INVALID): 
  var LOG $PATH/$INTERFACE/log 
  var ARCHIVE $PATH/$INTERFACE/archive 
  var INTERFACE ethX 
  var PATH /var/log/IDS 
  ------- 

new output database configuration keyword 
 ------- 

 Keywords connection_limit and reconnect_sleep_time where added in 
 2-1.10 but where "undocumented" and shouldn't be modified unless 
 you encounter connectivity issue. 

 connection_limit <integer>: default 10  - The maximum number of time 
                                           that barnyard2 will 
tolerate a transaction 
                                           failure and or database 
connection failure. 

 reconnect_sleep_time <integer> : default 5 - The number of seconds to 
sleep 
                                              between connection retry. 

 disable_signature_reference_table - Tell the output plugin not to 
synchronize 
                                     the sig_reference table in the 
schema. 
                                     This option will speedup the process, 
                                     especially if you use sid-msg.mapv2 
                                     file or  have a lot of signature 
already 
                                     in databases. (Make sure that you 
do not need that 
                                     information before enabling this)
