The latest release, version 5.2 of the AIL project framework, introduces several changes, fixes, and improvements. Some notable changes include the removal of old updates prior to version 5.0, a refactoring of the background updater along with the addition of the v5.2 update, and the introduction of a new etag object. The correlation graph now offers an option to hide objects/nodes and reset functionality using the “H” key. Additionally, an object comment feature has been added to investigations.

Several fixes have been implemented in this release. The environment issues in the updater and background update modules have been resolved. The crawler now includes timeouts for Unknown captures and exception handling for ping_lacus. It also performs an existence check for screenshot sets. The decoding process for downloaded files has been fixed, and the tag functionality for correlation objects has been improved. Fixes have also been made to the updater module, including the removal of old ARDB environment references. Lastly, issues with MISP event JSON export and retro hunt date search and description in the hunter module have been addressed.
