[ANNOUNCE] ipset-5.2 released

[Jozsef Kadlecsik]

Hi,

I'm happy to announce ipset 5.2. The changelogs are short, one important 
fix is of listing/saving large sets:

userspace:
 - Handle internal printing errors
 - Use cast to void * instead of memcpy as Sparc workaround at 
   sockaddr_XXX (suggested by Jan Engelhardt)
 - Listing/saving of large sets could produce broken listing, fixed.
 - Support libtool < 2.2

kernel part:
 - Kernel version check at minimal supported version was mistyped, now 
   fixed.

You can download the source code from:
        http://ipset.netfilter.org
        ftp://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/ipset/
        git://git.netfilter.org/ipset.git, ipset-5 branch

Best regards,
Jozsef

This is way more difficult than it should be.

People cannot just clone your tree to look at the latest code.  The
master branch, which should be the latest and greatest, is your 4.x
stuff.

They have to go through a multi-step non-trivial process to get at the
latest 5.x code, and this is a serious discouragement.

It's frankly rediculious.

I personally did a "rm -rf ipset/" when I discovered how this was
setup, and I seriously wanted to review your code and look for bugs.

I *was* thinking on renaming the ipset-5 branch to the master one, but 
then from some reason I refrained from doing so. Should have done.

I have just renamed the ipset-5 branch to the master one. I'm sorry for 
wasting time.
