From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Eric Leblond Subject: [Announce] NuFW 0.9.0 available Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2004 14:54:57 +0200 Sender: netfilter-devel-bounces@lists.netfilter.org Message-ID: <1093524897.4293.19.camel@porky> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="=-B/pQpnYhVd8BWygDoifc" Return-path: To: netfilter-devel@lists.netfilter.org List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: netfilter-devel-bounces@lists.netfilter.org List-Id: netfilter-devel.vger.kernel.org --=-B/pQpnYhVd8BWygDoifc Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable We are pleased to announce the first release of the NuFW development branch : NuFW 0.9.0. It features quite a lot of brand new things. The most meaningful are the protocol version 2 : * A more evolutive protocol which will be able to support features like application announcement (and thus per application filtering) * Authentication is performed via SASL * Encryption is performed via TLS * It now uses username and not userid and the cache system : * User request is only performed at the authentication stage * A cache has been added at the acl decision stage. Benches show dramatically increased performances at no security cost (See http://www.nufw.org/proto2_and_more.html for results). You can expect more as next 0.9 releases will follow : * Encryption of communications between nufw and nuauth. This is very soon. * Support for several Nufw gateways on nuauth. * Application match support for even finer filtering control. * Full IPv6 support. 0.9.0 should not be considered stable, as many deep rewrites have occured (and are still to occur) in the code as well as in structures. However, it is available for testing, benching, etc. As usual, bugreports, wishes and comments will be welcome! Happy user filtering, The NuFW team. --=-B/pQpnYhVd8BWygDoifc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBBLd2hnxA7CdMWjzIRAgkrAJ9oOHNCKQixHpefwmI0KQZbiASj+ACaAvYQ 2eGC013RX/Ad1z1tf45bRLU= =Fdcz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-B/pQpnYhVd8BWygDoifc--
