Hi all,

After another long year, finally another release. I spent some time
during my Christmas break on improving Vuurmuur. Much of the changes are
cleanups and lower level improvements, but there are some user visible
things:

All conntrack interaction now uses libnetfilter_conntrack. So no more
parsing of proc files or running on the conntrack tool. To keep things
simple the library is now mandatory. Conntrack viewing now shows the TCP
state.

Libnetfilter_log is also mandatory. The NFLOG based logging is now the
only method supported. No more parsing of log files to extract netfilter
logs.

In Vuurmuur_conf you can now select the device from a list by pressing
space on the device field in the 'edit interface' window.

Matthijs Kooijman fixed a port parsing issue in vuurmuur_conf.

To give you an idea on the scale of the cleanups:

        116 files changed, 44291 insertions(+), 54200 deletions(-)

Almost 10k code lines gone.

See https://github.com/inliniac/vuurmuur/releases/tag/0.8rc6 and
ftp://ftp.vuurmuur.org/releases/0.8rc6/

I've updated the RPM spec file and built some debs and rpms for Debian,
Ubuntu, Centos7 and Fedora.

Feedback is welcome, help is even more welcome!

Cheers,
Victor
