While I've always been delighted to see the progress shown in a new release,
I was particularly tickled about this gem in the ChangeLog:

-- AIF, dyndns-host-open plugin, re-written for AstLinux.  Provides
EXT->Local firewall 'host-open'
   rules using hostnames (via periodic DNS lookups) rather than static IP
addresses.  Should the
   hostname resolve to multiple IPv4 addresses, a rule for each address will
be opened.  IPv4 only.
   Note: If users had made the previous dyndns-host-open plugin work by
adding a CRON, etc., there
   is no CRON necessary with the new dyndns-host-open plugin.

All of my off-site users have dyndns-equipped routers and domain names.
Until now, because these dynamic IP addresses seldom change, I've been
manually permitting access whenever new IP addresses were assigned.
However, Murphy's-Law has a hand in this process:  It seems IP address were
only changing when I was on travel or otherwise unavailable.  

As always, thanks for your hard work and dedication to this project.  

Dan
