On our Kibana browser report, a lot of IE11 reported as IE7 which is very confusing to our whole engineering team. for example, given below user agent string `Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; InfoPath.3)` , which is actually IE11, but it shows as IE7.0 on Kibana report.

We should use a similar algorithm to [ie-truth](https://github.com/Gavin-Paolucci-Kleinow/ie-truth/blob/master/ie-truth.js) to calculate real IE version.

Just logged a bug on [github](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-useragent/issues/53)
