[sleuthkit-users] More Info on 3.1 Beta

[Brian C. <ca...@sl...>]

I wanted to send out a message to cover a few things that have come up offline as part of the 3.1 beta.

1) UI Responsiveness: We and others have noticed that the UI is much less responsive to points and clicks when the disk image is being ingested.  The reason seems to be because we have more modules running in the background and they are fighting with the UI for access to the SQLite database. So, the UI has to wait until it gets access to the DB before it can display results. We're working on a solution to this and will have it fixed before the non-beta 3.1.0 release.

2) 3rd party modules that used to work with 3.0 will not work with 3.1.  In general, this will always be the case.  Major version upgrades (3.0 to 3.1) will likely always need a new version of the 3rd party modules.  Modules should work during minor upgrades of 3.1.0 to 3.1.1. 

thanks,
brian
