Hello world,

It is time to move back to Suricata version 7 after identifying the relevant
default option changes in order to keep IPS/Netmap happy when running it.
Kea also received a number of tweaks and updates as well as our VPN service
integrations.

Last but not least this includes FreeBSD 13.2-p10 and the recent DNS denial
of service attack mitigation.

Here are the full patch notes:
