ver. 0.7.0 (2006/08/23) - alpha
|
||
----------
|
||
- Almost a complete rewrite :) Fail2ban design is really
|
||
better (IMHO). There is a lot of new features
|
||
- Client/Server architecture
|
||
- Multithreading. Each jail has its own threads: one for the
|
||
log reading and another for the actions
|
||
- Execute several actions
|
||
- Split configuration files. They are more readable and easy
|
||
to use
|
||
- failregex uses group (<host>) now. This feature was already
|
||
present in the Debian package
|
||
- lots of things...
|
||
|
||
ver. 0.6.1 (2006/03/16) - stable

Thanks to Patrick B<>rjesson
|
||
- Removed 192.168.0.0/16 from ignoreip. Attacks could also
|
||
come from the local network.
|
||
- Robust startup: if iptables module does not get fully
|
||
initialized after startup of fail2ban, fail2ban will do
|
||
"maxreinit" attempts to initialize its own firewall. It
|
||
will sleep between attempts for "polltime" number of
|
||
seconds (closes Debian: #334272). Thanks to Yaroslav
|
||
Halchenko
|
||
- Added "interpolations" in fail2ban.conf. This is provided
|
||
by the ConfigParser module. Old configuration files still
|
||
work. Thanks to Yaroslav Halchenko
|
||
- Added initial support for hosts.deny and shorewall. Need
|
||
more testing. Please test. Thanks to kojiro from Gentoo
|
||
forum for hosts.deny support

|
||
is processed, so the warning could be seen in the logs

|
||
the body of an email sent out by fail2ban (closes:
|
||
#330311)
