We are very excited today to announce the first "beta" release of Pion, version 0.6.0.  With this release we have split Pion up into two  editions: an open source "Community Edition," and a commercially-licensed "Enterprise Edition" which includes premium support from Atomic Labs.

Pion Enterprise Edition builds on top of our open source platform by adding:

• several new commercial database connectors, including support for Oracle, DB2, SQL Server and MySQL Enterprise
• a new data aggregation reactor which enables you to easily calculate the sum, average, minimum or maximum of any set of data points over a given time period
• our extensible packet sniffer reactor, which allows you extract events from pcap packet capture files or your live network traffic; includes TCP reassembly, SSL decryption and deep-protocol parsing and extraction for HTTP
• a new clickstream sessionizing reactor that can use data extracted from your web server log files, sent to Pion from page tags, or captured passively using Pion's packet sniffer reactor

Pion Enterprise Edition is available today for a free 30 day trial.  Please contact us for licensing information.

We've also added support to Pion Community Edition's log input reactor for reading gzip and bzip2 log files using in-memory decompression. Numerous other additions and bug fixes have also been made since the 0.5.8 release.  Please see the ChangeLog file for more information.

Binary and source code downloads are now available on our website at: http://www.atomiclabs.com/pion/download.php

A new version of our network library is also available on our community website.
