> Snort 2.9.5.6 End of Life is approaching
>
> As a reminder, Snort 2.9.5.6 is approaching it's End of Life next week (1-21-2014), at which point we will no longer 
> be building and distributing that version of the ruleset.
>
> While the amount of people that are downloading this ruleset is very small, we want to encourage you to upgrade to a 
> currently supported version (2.9.6.2, 2.9.7.0) in order to stay current.
>
> In addition, please review your Oinkmaster and PulledPork configuration to make sure it is downloading the correct 
> version of the ruleset as well.  We have about 30,000 people a day that are requesting invalid versions, and would 
> love to see those people migrate to a current version as well. 
>
> Especially those of you that are attempting to download version 2.2 of the ruleset, which we haven't produced in 
> about 12 years.
