Dear community,

at the end of last weak I finalized the last planned maintenance release of the 1.0.x series, version 1.0.6. I do not intend to do any further maintenance releases for the 1.0 version, however I am open for discussion here.

The branch maintenance-1.0 has all the commits of the 1.0.x series.

Installation instructions: https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/blob/1.0.6/docs/INSTALL.md Upgrade instructions: https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/blob/1.0.6/docs/UPGRADING.md

The changelog:

### Bots #### Collectors - `bots.collectors.rt.collector_rt`: Log ticket id for downloaded reports.

#### Parsers - `bots.parsers.shadowserver`: - if required fields do not exist in data, an exception is raised, so the line will be dumped and not further processed. - fix a bug in the parsing of column `cipher_suite` in ssl poodle reports (#1288).

#### Experts - Reverse DNS Expert: ignore all invalid results and use first valid one (#1264). - `intelmq/bots/experts/tor_nodes/update-tor-nodes`: Use check.torproject.org as source as internet2.us is down (#1289).

#### Outputs - `bots.output.amqptopic`: - The default exchange must not be declared (#1295). - Unencodable characters are prepended by backslashes by default. Otherwise Unicode characters can't be encoded and sent (#1296). - Gracefully close AMQP connection on shutdown of bot.

### Documentation - Bots: document redis cache parameters. - Installation documentation: Ubuntu needs universe repositories.

### Packaging - Dropped support for Ubuntu 17.10, it reached its End of Life as of 2018-07-19.

### Tests - Drop tests for Python 3.3 for the mode with all requirements, as some optional dependencies do not support Python 3.3 anymore. - `lib.test`: Add parameter `compare_raw` (default: `True`) to `assertMessageEqual`, to optionally skip the comparison of the raw field. - Add tests for RT collector. - Add tests for Shadowserver Parser: - SSL Poodle Reports. - Helper functions.

### Tools - `intelmqctl list` now sorts the output of bots and queues (#1262). - `intelmqctl`: Correctly handle the corner cases with collectors and outputs for getting/sending messages in the bot debugger (#1263). - `intelmqdump`: fix ordering of dumps in a file in runtime. All operations are applied to a sorted list (#1280).

### Contrib - `cron-jobs/update-tor-nodes`: Use check.torproject.org as source as internet2.us is down (#1289).
