Xtables-addons 1.5.5 released

A few new features have been added, among:
- xt_SYSRQ, a minimal remote-triggerable sysrq (to be used with care, 
security is not yet included).

- xt_quota2, an extension to the "quota" match that implements 
packet counting (besides bytecounting), and upcounting (instead of just 
counting down). Counters can be read/set through, providing for a 
lowlevel accounting interface. IPv6 capable.

Please read the xtables-addons(8) manpage for possible gotchas regarding 
these two.

- ipset, the well-known package for efficiently storing maps of IPs by 
Jozsef Kadlecsik et al. has been imported with his consent, though Xt-a 
is not an authoritative source.

- dependency on CONFIG_NETWORK_SECMARK in the kernel removed


About:
Xtables-addons is a package that mostly supersedes the old patch-o-matic 
repository for the Linux kernel and iptables. Instead of patching the 
kernel source, extensions are built as modules and thus allow extending 
kernels without recompilation.
