Hello, thanks for the notice! Currently, we're packaging zaproxy by relying on your pre-built .jar file provided in the "Linux" tarball that you are releasing so it would be easier for us to update the package based on a real release.

But ideally, we should really build from sources so that we can apply patches more easily. I don't know how hard this is going to be however.

OK, we'll do a 2.8.0.1 linux release - I'll update this ticket when its available.
Very happy to help you with building from sources in the future.

We've just released 2.8.1: https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy/releases/tag/v2.8.1 just for Kali :)
Let me know if you have any problems or questions

As an aside, the menu:
Applications > 03 - Web Application Analysis > owasp-zap
uses the 'old' ZAP icon.
The latest icon in various sizes can be found in https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy/tree/develop/zap/src/main/resources/resource

Cheers

Possibly this one? https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/kali-menu/blob/kali/master/menu-icons/256x256/apps/kali-zaproxy.png

Thank you! I uploaded zaproxy 2.8.1 to kali, it will be available shortly in kali-rolling (though not in the upcoming 2019.3 release, as we already generated the ISO images). I also uploaded kali-menu 2019.4.1 with the updated icon.
