Sorry about that Peter, I just updated the table.

2.9.3.1 will EOL 2013-09-29, as in the table.  Meaning, we’ll stop compiling Shared \
Object rules for that platform at that time.  It doesn’t mean that Snort will \
magically stop working.

But we are moving at a quicker pace this year.  We are already thinking about 2.9.7 \
and beyond.  I can’t promise that 2.9.5.x will last you a year, 2.9.5.3 definitely \
won’t, as we are planning 2.9.5.5’s release.

I know this can be a pain for some people, and we apologize for it, bear with us.
