Also as a request from the Snort Community, at the above link, we have started indicating whether the rule is Enabled or Disabled by default. The policy you select as part of a PulledPork download (if you are using that feature) does override this.
In VRT's rule release:
The Sourcefire VRT has added and modified multiple rules in the
