3.0 Beta 3

New features

• Splunk will alert if you are using an unsupported browser
• Splunk will alert if you are using an unsupported version of Flash
• Searching for * will produce the same results as searching for meta::all
• TAI64 timestamp support
• Alert feeds and the links included in email now support https
• LDAP supports specifying multiple base DNs

Resolved issues from 3.0 beta 2

• When Splunk receives data from a UDP input it will no longer perform a reverse lookup on each connection attempt
• UDP inputs no longer distort the host:: value
• Host and eventtype tagging are now supported
• Sourcetype aliasing supported
• LDAP authentication always requires username and password (even if the LDAP server allows anonymous binds)
• Users can delete a saved search via SplunkWeb
• Typeahead selection is working again
• In-product help now has content
• Saved Searches respect time constraints
• Multiple memory and performance improvements implemented
• User passwords can contain XML reserved characters and not collide with scheduled alerts

New issues in this release

• 64 bit RPM packages will not install without the --nodeps flag on systems that don't have the db4-4.2x (an RHEL4/FC4 package) installed. RHEL5 and CentOS 5 are two platforms that will likely have this problem
• We have seen instances where setting an RSS alert may cause a crash on 64bit systems
• maxresults:: is not respected in search strings from the gui, set the Max results per search value in the Search Preferences dialog box instead. The default value is 10,000
