Hi everyone,

Vuurmuur 0.5.72 is finally released! It has taken way longer than I
originally planned, but I've had a very busy year. People wanting to
help in the development are very welcome!

Like described in the alpha announcements the main focus of this release
was the connection killing options in Vuurmuur_conf. It requires the
conntrack tool to be installed. You can find the release at the
sourceforge project page and on the ftp server
ftp://ftp.vuurmuur.org/releases/0.5.72/

Looking forward, I intend to add support for the NFQUEUE and CLASSIFY
iptables targets. The former for advanced use of tools like Snort_inline
in combination with Vuurmuur, the latter for easier traffic shaping. For
more details about my ideas keep an eye on my blog at

Regards,
Victor

Make grouplist window wider so long names work correctly.
Added a work-around to the install script for issues with older versions
of automake and newer versions of gettext.
Fixed a 'post error' for the log- and connection management.
Connection viewer will now also do reverse lookup of the service name if
the service is unrecognized. This matches the behaviour of vuurmuur_log.
Don't set an inactive rule to active because the 'in_int' is active.
Added nicer error message for removal failure of a non-empty zone.
Applied patch by Alerandre SIMON that adds pre vuurmuur chains to all
tables.
Changed page up and page down behaviour in logview. It now scrolls an
entire page instead of just 1/3.
Don't use the mac addres in the postrouting rule for the bounce action
since it makes the ruleset fail.
Dhcp rules fixes and cleanups.
Replace all strcpy calls with memset and strlcpy just to be sure,
although there was no real risk.
Added connection killing option to the connection viewer. Needs the
conntrack tool.

full Changelog.
