3.0 regex realm syntax
It seems to be last call for refactoring some of the user-visible config items that are easier to change when bumping a major rev number. The syntax for regexp-based realms has always struck me as a bit hinky: realm "~regexp\\.edu" { } Would it require too much tokenization witchdoctoring to make: realm /regexp\.edu/ { } ...work? Also I find a note in my config file comments about some regexp availability in the "hints" file being in-transition and so not to use it, but cannot remember what that was about, it has been so long, and there seems to be no example in the stock configs. I'm looking forward to finally bumping to 3.0 on our non-RadSec servers as soon as things look to test out right and we can tell the boss that the package is supported on our distro. We'll be getting rid of a LOT of cruft in config files during the process due to the many new ease-of-use features. Things are sure looking up :-) -- Brian S.

No. We'll wait for 3.0.1, though.

I don't recall.

Yup. And there's a LOT more to come. Alan DeKok.
