Enhancements and Updates
- OpenSSL upgraded to v1.1.1

- If Event Checksumis enabled, it is appended at the end of the events in the standard optional field format: "EventChecksum=<checksum>"

The value of this field can be configured as free text (Destination Configuration > Event Options > Event Source ID).

This extra data is added to the Snare and Syslog log formats, including RFC 3164 and RFC 5424
