[Intelmq-users] IntelMQ & IntelMQ Manager releases 2.2.1

[Sebastian Wagner]

Dear community,

Today we have again a twin release 2.2.1 for both IntelMQ as well as
IntelMQ Manager. This IntelMQ Manager version requires IntelMQ >= 2.2.1.
There are currently issues with the signature in the package
repositories for Debian/Ubuntu. I hope to get them resolved soon.

*The changelog for IntelMQ Manager:*

### Backend
- Fix loading paths from `intelmqctl` executable (PR #205 by Einar
Felipe Lanfranco).

### Documentation
- User Guide:
  - Add section on configuration paths.
  - Add section on named queues / paths.
- Readme:
  - Update screenshots (#201, PR#207 by Mladen Markovic).

### Known issues

* wrong error message for new bots with existing ID (#152).
* Monitor page: Automatic log refresh reset log page to first one (#190).

*The News for IntelMQ:*

### Requirements
#### MaxMind GeoIP Expert Bot
The current python library versions of geoip (version 4) and maxminddb
(version 2) no longer support Python 3.5. Keep older versions of these
libraries if you are using this Python version.

### Configuration
#### Abuse.ch URLHaus

The current documented value for the `column` parameter was:
```json
['time.source', 'source.url', 'status', 'extra.urlhaus.threat_type',
'source.fqdn', 'source.ip', 'source.asn', 'source.geolocation.cc']
```
Better is:
```json
['time.source', 'source.url', 'status',
'classification.type|__IGNORE__', 'source.fqdn|__IGNORE__', 'source.ip',
'source.asn', 'source.geolocation.cc']
```

*And the changelog for IntelMQ:*

### Core
- `intelmq.lib.upgrades`:
  - Add upgrade function for changed configuration of the feed "Abuse.ch
URLHaus" (#1571, PR#1572 by Filip Pokorný).
  - Add upgrade function for removal of *HPHosts Hosts file* feed and
`intelmq.bots.parsers.hphosts` parser (#1559).
  - `intelmq.lib.harmonization`:
    - For IP Addresses, explicitly reject IPv6 addresses with scope ID
(due to changed behavior in Python 3.9, #1550).

### Development
- Ignore line length (E501) in code-style checks altogether.

### Bots
#### Collectors

@tomas321).
- `intelmq.bots.parser.anubisnetworks.parser`: Ignore
"TestSinkholingLoss" events, these are not intended to be sent out at all.

dictionary for parameter `type_translation`.
- `intelmq.bots.parsers.hphosts`: Removed, feed is unavailable (#1559).

address in URL and IP address columns (PR#1585 by Marius Urkis).

#### Experts
- `intelmq.bots.experts.maxmind_geoip`: On Python < 3.6, require
maxminddb < 2, as that version does no longer support Python 3.5.

itself.

### Tools

double quotes around values to produce conform JSON, ready to copy and
paste the value into the IntelMQ Manager's bot parameter form.
- `intelmq.bin.intelmqctl`:
  - `debug`: In JSON mode, use dictionaries instead of lists.
  - `debug`: Add `PATH` to the paths shown.
