2007-03-09 Thunderbird Available 
One can add Mozilla's Thunderbird (email/RSS/news client) to a NST system from the NST Patch Management page (see: http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/patches/U200703091-100README.html).
2007-03-07 Snort Patch Updated Again 
Applying patches to a Live CD has proven to be difficult. We have updated the snort patch once again to better support Live CD users (see: http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/patches/P200703061-102README.html). However, Live CD users will also need to update the NST WUI to the current development release. If you are using a hard disk or Virtual Machine installation of the NST and have already patched your system, you should not need to apply the new patch.
2007-03-06 Snort Patch Updated 
The snort patch (see: http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/patches/P200703061-102README.html) has been updated such that it will now work on a Live CD boot as well as a hard disk install. The 2.6.1.3 version of snort can be found at: "/usr/bin/snort". On a hard disk install, the old version (at: "/usr/local/snort/snort") will be replaced by a symbolic link to the new version. On a Live CD boot, the file: "/usr/local/snort/snort" can not be updated and will remain at the old 2.6.1.2 version (so, if you have any custom scripts, you should update them to use the new version at: "/usr/bin/snort").
2007-03-06 Snort Patch Available for NST 1.5.0 
There is a security issue with the version of snort that shipped with the 1.5.0 release of the NST (see: http://www.snort.org/docs/advisory-2007-02-19.html). We have made a patch available (see: http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/patches/P200703061-102README.html) to update snort to version 2.6.1.3 to address this issue. Unfortunately, this patch will not work on a Live CD boot (it only applies to hard disk installations and/or NST Virtual Machine installations). You may apply the patch by hand (review the patch instructions), or you may use the "NST Patch Management" page within the NST WUI to apply the patch.
