- It's derived from the magic database of libmagic 5.14, but with most
everything not related to mime types removed.
- The custom database is always used by default for mime detection, but
the more verbose file type detection will fall back on the default
libmagic installation's database. The result is: mime type strings
are now guaranteed to be consistent across platforms, but the verbose
file type descriptions are not.
- The custom database gets installed in $prefix/share/bro/magic, and
should even be extensible if files with new patterns are added inside
the directory.
- The search path for the mime magic database can be controlled via
BROMAGIC environment variable.
- Remove mime_desc field from ftp.log.
- Stop using the mime/file type canonifier with unit tests.
- libmagic >= 5.04 is now a requirement.
- FileAnalysis::Info is now just a record used for logging, the fa_file
record type is defined in init-bare.bro as the analogue to a
connection record.
- Starting to transfer policy hook triggers and analyzer results to
events.
Other misc:
- Remove HTTP::MD5 notice.
- Add "last_active" field to FileAnalysis::Info record.
- Replace "conn_uids", "conn_ids" fields in FileAnalysis::Info record
with just a "conns" fields containing full connection records.
- The http-methods unit test is failing now, but I think it will be
fixed once I change the file handle callback mechanism to use events
instead.
