What's new in this version:

New:
- Parsing HTTP CONNECT to extract the tunnel IP and port information
- Alerting and dechunking for chunked encoding in HTTP1.0 request and response

Improvements:
- Fixed an issue where in if we have a junk line before HTTP response header, the header was wrongly parsed
- Fixed GZIP evasions wherein a HTTP response with content-encoding:gzip contains a body which has some gzip related anomaly
- Fixed an issue in a scenario where BitTorrent pattern is seen only on the 3rd packet of the session because of which we miss our client detection
- SMB improvements for file detection and processing
