[ANNOUNCE] Release of iptables 1.4.2

The netfilter coreteam presents:

     iptables version 1.4.2

This release supports all new features present in the 2.6.27 kernel.

The most significant change since version 1.4.1 are the scalability
improvements from Jesper Dangaard Brouer. Besides that, we have multiple
manpage updates from Jan Engelhardt, the usual iptables-save formatting
fixes, ip6tables --goto support, string match case insensitive matching
support and assorted cleanups and minor changes. See the changelog for
more details.

Version 1.4.2 can be obtained from (please note that as
usual, the website rebuild is still in progress):

http://www.netfilter.org/projects/iptables/downloads.html
ftp://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/iptables/
git://git.netfilter.org/iptables.git

On behalf of the Netfilter Core Team.
Happy firewalling!

Nice work! Would you mind to update the freshmeat entry?

Strangely the news section on the left of the netfilter homepage
mentions the release of iptables 1.4.2 as "several releases".

Cheers,
Thomas

Done, thanks for the reminder.

Yeah, we had some troubles with multiple entries on the same day
(conntrack-tools and iptables release).
