Hi everyone,

After the new site at http://www.vuurmuur.org/ I'm now pleased to
announce Vuurmuur version 0.5.73. This release both adds a number of new
features and fixes a lot of bugs. To start with the latter, many bugs in
the log and connection management were fixed. Also, Vuurmuur can handle
systems with nf_conntrack much better. There were lots of smaller fixes
all over the program.

In the new feature department there is support for NFQUEUE (which is
nice if you run Snort_inline), rule limits that are now optional for all
rules, and limits that can also be limited in minutes, hours or days.

Source (ftp://ftp.vuurmuur.org/releases/0.5.73/Vuurmuur-0.5.73.ta...),
Autopackage
(ftp://ftp.vuurmuur.org/releases/0.5.73/Vuurmuur-0.5.73.x8...) and
Debian and Ubuntu packages
(http://www.vuurmuur.org/trac/wiki/InstallationDebian) are available.
Contributions or packages for other distro's such as Fedora or SUSE
would be very welcome! If you send them to me I will put them on the ftp
server.

I've pasted the full changelog below.

Regards,
Victor
