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.
