    🚀 Release notes

    🚀 Big changes in this release add support for the following new platforms:

    • Debian buster
    • Fedora 30
    • RHEL 8
    • (Much awaited!) Centos 8

    ⚡️ @jubois has completed the first round of pcre2 rule updates. This is a very exciting change to the overall IDS engine in OSSEC and opens the platform up to much more complex (and faster!) search functionality.

    🐧 Snapcraft.io universal linux packaging support (aka Snaps) allow for a universal OSSEC package across multiple linux distributions.

    🚀 Last but not least, @ddpbsd has a long awaited fix for agentd/maild when ipv6 is disabled and/or hostnames are used instead of IPs in PR#1698. Thanks again to all our community contributors, and dedicated team members for their work on this release!
