• apt-get update
• apt-get upgrade

Known Issues

• Translation is still incomplete (since we have new features and moved some things around).
• The CD-based installer screens look a little strange. The network-based install is fine.
• Translation is the installer is a bit amusing. The software uses "fuzzy" translation when a language tag is missing. This leads to poorly translated pages.
• The console tool will always reject your username and password (this bug was introduced in the last build)
• You can only register a single device to your online account. The ability to manage multiple systems in one account will be available with the gold release.
• The Running Services page takes a long time to load.
• Many perl scripts fail with the new internationalization tags. If you have non-ClarkConnect perl scripts installed on your system, make sure you check them.
• Stray Webalizer report for SSL log
• SnortSnarf is not functional
• SpamAssassin is not functional
• Many cosmetic issues
