Current cflowd and/or prospective FlowScan users,
I recently received the message below informing me of the recent
cflowd-2-1-b1 release:
ftp://ftp.caida.org/pub/cflowd/cflowd-2-1-b1.tar.gz
This was the first I had heard of it.
In response, I've tested my cflowd patch against cflowd-2-1-b1 and all
seems well, so I've updated the patch name and README accordingly:
http://net.doit.wisc.edu/~plonka/cflowd/
I've responded to his questions below:
(I've Bcc'ed the sender.)

I have seen good results in my initial testing by applying my
"cflowd-2-1-a9-djp.patch" to the "cflowd-2-1-b1" sources. I've only
done run-time testing with it for a whopping 5 minutes or so.

I have placed the older cflowd distributions in the "old" sub-dirs
under the directory where I distribute the patches:
http://net.doit.wisc.edu/~plonka/cflowd/old/
However, because of the semaphore-related race condition fix that has
been much discussed in the cflowd list and that Daniel has integrated
in 2-1-b1, I suggest using 2-1-b1, and only fall back to older releases
if you find problems (with my patch, etc.).
If you have further information or questions please follow-up to either
or both of the mailing lists as appropriate.
Thanks,
Dave
