better (IMHO). There is a lot of new features

- Multithreading. Each jail has its own threads: one for the
log reading and another for the actions
- Execute several actions

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

to Markus Hoffmann

Thanks to Mark Edgington

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

function in case check of fwban or fwunban command failed

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.

to any SYSLOG target and facility as directed by the
config

lifetime of caught "failed" log entries
