Fail2Ban (version 0.7.3) 2006/??/??
=============================================================
ver. 0.7.3 (2006/??/??) - beta
----------
- Added man pages. Thanks to Yaroslav Halchenko
- Added wildcard support for "logpath"
- Added Gamin (file and directory monitoring system) support
- (Re)added "ignoreip" option
- Added more concurrency protection
- First attempt at solving bug #1457620
- Performance improvements
ver. 0.7.2 (2006/09/10) - beta
----------
- Refactoring and code cleanup
- Improved client output
- Added more get/set commands
- Added more configuration templates
- Removed "logpath" and "maxretry" from filter templates.
They must be defined in jail.conf now
- Added interactive mode. Use "-i"
- Added a date detector. "timeregex" and "timepattern" are no
more needed
- Added "fail2ban-regex". This is a tool to help finding
"failregex"
- Improved server communication. Start a new thread for each
incoming request. Fail2ban is not really thread-safe yet
ver. 0.7.1 (2006/08/23) - alpha
----------
- Fixed daemon mode bug
- Added Gentoo init.d script
- Fixed path bug when trying to start "fail2ban-server"
- Fixed reload command
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
----------
- Added permanent banning. Set banTime to a negative value to
enable this feature (-1 is perfect). Thanks to Mannone
- Fixed locale bug. Thanks to Fernando José
- Fixed crash when time format does not match data
- Propagated patch from Debian to fix fail2ban search path
addition to the path search list: now it is added first.
Thanks to Nick Craig-Wood
- Added SMTP authentification for mail notification. Thanks
to Markus Hoffmann
- Removed debug mode as it is confusing for people
- Added parsing of timestamp in TAI64N format (#1275325).
Thanks to Mark Edgington
- Added patch #1382936 (Default formatted syslog logging).
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
- Added support for vsftpd. Thanks to zugeschmiert
ver. 0.6.0 (2005/11/20) - stable
----------
- Propagated patches introduced by Debian maintainer
(Yaroslav Halchenko):
* Added an option to report local time (including timezone)
or GMT in mail notification.
ver. 0.5.5 (2005/10/26) - beta
----------
- Propagated patches introduced by Debian maintainer
(Yaroslav Halchenko):
* Introduced fwcheck option to verify consistency of the
chains. Implemented automatic restart of fail2ban main
function in case check of fwban or fwunban command failed
(closes: #329163, #331695). (Introduced patch was further
adjusted by upstream author).
* Added -f command line parameter for [findtime].
* Added a cleanup of firewall rules on emergency shutdown
when unknown exception is catched.
* Fail2ban should not crash now if a wrong file name is
specified in config.
* reordered code a bit so that log targets are setup right
after background and then only loglevel (verbose, debug)
is processed, so the warning could be seen in the logs
* Added a keyword <section> in parsing of the subject and
the body of an email sent out by fail2ban (closes:
#330311)
ver. 0.5.4 (2005/09/13) - beta
----------
- Fixed bug #1286222.
- Propagated patches introduced by Debian maintainer
(Yaroslav Halchenko):
* Fixed handling of SYSLOG logging target. Now it can log
to any SYSLOG target and facility as directed by the
config
* Format of SYSLOG entries fixed to look closer to standard
* Fixed errata in config/gentoo-confd
* Introduced findtime configuration variable to control the
lifetime of caught "failed" log entries
