``mysql_eof()``.

|

- Zeek will now exit at startup if an external plugin (e.g. from a package) is
|
||||
discovered to have the same name as a built-in plugin. See below for the
|
||||
change regarding the AF_PACKET plugin now being built-in for an example of
|
||||
this potentially being triggered.
|
||||
|
||||
- DNS query type strings were updated to match the current standardized list of
|
||||
strings. This changes the string reported for a small subset of query types:
|
||||
|
||||
30: Changed from "EID" to "NXT"
|
||||
31: Changed from "NIMLOC" to "EID"
|
||||
32: Changed from "NB" to "NIMLOC"
|
||||
|
||||
- The ``--with-caf`` option for the ``configure`` script was removed. Broker now
|
||||
requires specific versions of CAF per Zeek release, and passing an
|
||||
externally-built version of CAF often lead to build failures.

- A new ``join_string_set`` BIF was added, replacing the existing script-level
|

version from utils/strings.zeek.
|

|

- A new ``&ordered`` attribute for tables and sets was added. This attribute

causes iteration over a table/set to return elements in the order of their

insertion.
|

- A new ``-D`` argument was added to the ``configure`` script to allow passing

parameters directly to the underlying CMake call.

- Added parsing for the challenge and response fields to the NTLM analyzer.
|

|

- A new ``FTP::max_command_length`` value was added to script-land, defaulting
|

to 100. This value is used by the FTP analyzer to limit the size of commands

accepted by the analyzer. A ``FTP_max_command_length_exceeded`` weird is

raised for any violations of that length.

- The MySQL analyzer has been switched to parse in little endian. This avoids

- Non-fatal errors when setting up BPF filtering will no longer cause Zeek to

exit, but instead will log the error in reporter.log and continue processing.

- The languages reported for the ``keyboard_layout`` field in rdp.log were
