 Multidecoder preserves the context of where and how an IOC is found to allow automated detection of patterns of obfuscation.
-Multidecoder is currently in alpha, and may change in ways that breaks backwards compatibility as developement continues.
+Multidecoder is currently in beta, and uses semantic versioning to indicate compatability between releases.
