    facilitate broader file support

    when it is available with the DAQ

  * Logging of packet data that triggers PPM for post-analysis via
    Snort event

  * Decoding of IPv6 with PPPoE

[*] Improvements

  * Update to Stream5 PAF for handling gaps in the sequence numbers of
    packets being reassembled.

  * Selection of the Stream TCP policy based on the server rather than
    the destination of first packet seen by Snort

  * Allow disabling of global thresholds via a count of -1

  * Prevent blocking duplicate SYNs when using inline normalization

  * Add SSLv3 backwards compatibility support for SSLv2 ClientHello
    messages
