OSSEC 2.8 was released

It was kinda quiet, but OSSEC 2.8 was released.

Check the release notes here.

The only thing I want to point out with this release is the removal of rules/bro-ids_rules.xml. It was incomplete, old, and incorrect. Unfortunately, removing the file was probably the wrong way to move on. If you have problems starting OSSEC after an upgrade, make sure that file exists or isn't mentioned in etc/ossec.conf.

A big thanks to all of the contributors, new and old. There's a lot of interest in OSSEC, and it's great to see.

If anyone sees any issues with the documentation, let me know (on the mailing list or create an issue/pull request on ).
