non-released versions (which were suggested to the users to overcome
problems reported in bug reports). In particular attention should be paid
to upstream changelog entries
- Several "failregex" and "ignoreregex" are now accepted.
Creation of rules should be easier now.
This is an alternative solution to 'multiple <HOST>' entries fix,
which is not applied to this shipped version - pay cautios if upgrading
from 0.7.5-3~pre?
- Allow comma in action options. The value of the option must
be escaped with " or '.
That allowed to implement requested ability to ban multiple ports
at once (See 373592). README.Debian and jail.conf adjusted to reflect
possible use of iptables-mport
- Now Fail2ban goes in /usr/share/fail2ban instead of
/usr/lib/fail2ban. This is more compliant with FHS.
Patch 00_share_insteadof_lib no longer applied
* Refactored installed by debian package jail.conf:
- Added option banaction which is to incorporate banning agent
(usually some flavor of iptables rule), which can then be easily
overriden globally or per section
- Multiple actions are defined as action_* to serve as shortcuts
rephrased (Closes: #402350)
* Added mail-whois-lines action, which emails log lines containing abuser
IP. Those lines are often required for proper abuse reports sent to the
Internet providers. Forwarding of such received emails to the email
addresses of abuse departments present in the output of whois is a
tentative solution for semi-automatic abuse reporting (Closes: #358810)
react to client command to stop. Handling of status was adjusted as well
* Added apache-noscript to jail.conf
* Default action does not send emails to be inline with previous (0.6.x)
behavior
