We will let the community developers to make a decision. In addition to Snort/Suricata,
One goal is to make it ready for web application firewall integration. For example,
modsecurity or naxsi. plug-in.. If anyone is working on this, please let us know, we tend
to collaborate and make it available to the broad community.

Awesome. Is chimera something that could replace the PCRE engine in Suricata and Snort?
Thanks.

Hi all,
We have just released Hyperscan v5.0.0 on Github.
https://github.com/intel/hyperscan/releases
We add Chimera to support full PCRE syntax and a new feature called logical combination
of patterns.
In addition, we extend our Windows support for tools including hscollider, hsdump,
hscheck and hsbench.
[5.0.0] 2018-07-09
- Introduce chimera hybrid engine of Hyperscan and PCRE, to fully support
PCRE syntax as well as to take advantage of the high performance nature of
Hyperscan.
- New API feature: logical combinations (AND, OR and NOT) of patterns in a
given pattern set.
- Windows porting: hsbench, hscheck, hscollider and hsdump tools now available
on Windows 8 or newer.
- Improve undirected graph implementation to avoid graph copy and reduce
compile time.
- Bugfix for issue #86: enable hscollider for installed PCRE package.
Thanks,
Xiang
