A new release of conntrack could be fine. From ChangeLog:

2005-13-03
<pablo@netfilter.org>
        o Add support to filter events. ie: -p tcp --orig-port-dst 80 in
        conjuction with -E to get all the requests to HTTP servers
        o Update manpage
        o Missing static function declaration in the protocol handlers
        o Use protocol flags defined in libnetfilter_conntrack
        o Bumped version to 0.991

2005-11-22
<marcus@ingate.com>
        o Fix oversized number of options

IMHO, it's worth a new release.

Something different but related, about the first 1.0 release of
conntrack: I think that it should be done once I finish with the ipv6
(nf_conntrack) support that I'm currently working on.
