HEAD
====
Fixes:
- Update to ipset 4.5
  * the iptreemap type used wrong gfp flags when deleting entries
Enhancements:
- IPv6 support for xt_geoip


v1.31 (2010-11-05)
==================
Fixes:
- build: improve detection of kernel version and error handling
Changes:
- build: automatically derive Xtables module directory, thus
  --with-xtlibdir is no longer needed for ./configure in most cases
  (If I still see a distro using it, I will scold you for not
  reading this changelog.)
Enhancements:
- LOGMARK: print remaining lifetime of cts
- xt_iface: allow matching against incoming/outgoing interface
- libxt_gradm: match packets based on status of grsecurity RBAC
  (userspace part only - xt_gradm is in the grsec patch)


v1.30 (2010-010-02)
===================
Fixes:
- update to ipset 4.4
  * ipport{,ip,net}hash did not work with mixed "src" and "dst"
    destination parameters
Changes:
- deactivate building xt_TEE and xt_CHECKSUM by default, as these have been
  merged upstream in Linux 2.6.35 and 2.6.36, respectively.
  Distros still wishing to build this need to enable it in their build
  script, e.g. perl -i -pe 's{^build_TEE=.*}{build_TEE=m}' mconfig;

  ("implicit declaration of function 'ALIGN'")
