These new packages resolve the following issues:

Issue 657: ELSA 1205
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/657
This version of ELSA fixes many bugs in our previous version of ELSA.

Issue 447: ELSA syslog-ng.conf rewrite r_pipes
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/447
Syslog-ng will now rewrite any vertical pipes found in Bro logs to ensure correct parsing.

Issue 512: ELSA syslog-ng.conf filter f_bro_headers
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/512
Syslog-ng will now filter out headers in Bro logs.

Issue 726: ELSA syslog-ng.conf - add filesystem destinations
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/726
Syslog-ng will now output some logs to their standard filesystem locations.  This allows OSSEC to monitor those logs and detect, for example, SSH brute forcing.

Issue 674: ELSA - update bro_notice parser to parse src and dst fields
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/674
Syslog-ng will now parse src and dst fields out of Bro Notices.

Issue 722: securityonion-web-page: update HTTP mime type queries for ELSA 1205
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/722
This fixes some of the existing ELSA queries to work with ELSA 1205 and also adds some new queries.

Issue 723: CapMe: Update for new ELSA API
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/723
CapME now queries the ELSA JSON API and also handles error conditions much more gracefully.

Issue 500: sosetup: restart starman
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/500
When running Setup and choosing sensor-only, starman should now restart properly.

Issue 504: sosetup: avoid writing ELSA_PORT twice in SSH_CONF
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/504
When running Setup and choosing sensor-only, Setup should only write ELSA_PORT in SSH_CONF once.

Issue 547: sosetup: if enabling salt on a sensor, check top.sls to make sure it doesn't already exist
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/547
When re-running Setup on a sensor, it should no longer duplicate the sensor's entry in top.sls on the master server.

Issue 740: sosetup: sensor should use sudo to restart apache on master
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/740
When running Setup and choosing sensor-only and selecting to update the ELSA server, it should now properly restart Apache on the master server using sudo.

Issue 741: sosetup: sometimes local salt-minion doesn't check in with local salt-master quickly enough
https://github.com/Security-Onion-Solutions/security-onion/issues/741
When running Setup and choosing Advanced Setup and then Master-only or Standalone and enabling Salt, Setup should now check to see if the salt-minion has checked in every second, waiting up to 60 seconds before timing out.

These new packages have been tested by the following (thanks!).
