=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====


Generic IP Firewall Chains version 1.3.1 is now on the web site:

        http://www.adelaide.net.au/~rustcorp/ipfwchains/ipfwchains.html

Join the mailing list by sending a message containing the word
"subscribe" to ipchains-request at wantree.com.au.  To mail to the
list use `ipchains' instead of `ipchains-request'.

IPChains is a kernel patch (for 2.0.x and 2.1.x kernels) and a utility
(`ipchains') to replace ipfwadm and the normal Linux firewalling.  It
contains various enhancements over standard firewalling.

If there are no bugs found within a week (hurry!) I'll be submitting
this for inclusion in the mainstream kernel, so please give it a run,
especially SMP people.


Changes since last release:

o Format of policy-change kernel interface changed, to allow same
  ipchains binary under both 2.0 and 2.1 kernels, and simplify glibc
  interface.

o Userspace tools now compile under glibc.

o Binary release now glibc.

o Binary release no longer includes `ipfw.4' man page.

o Updated HOWTO.


Bug fixes since last release:

o Fixed typo which cause mark not to be initialised to 0.
  [Thanks to Alexey Kuznetsov]. 

o Removed extraneous debug messages for 2.0 kernels.
  [Thanks to Ricardo Kustner].

o Fixed race condition correctly.

o Now compiles under SMP.

Thanks,
Rusty.
