Hello,

This is the first public release of 1.1.x. A silent but important work
has been done on this development tree and differences with 1.0.x are
huge.

The main functionnal differences are :
   -   nutrackd : a brand new daemon which is used to maintain SQL
authenticated connection tracking. It needs 2.6.14 and the new
libconntrack library.
   -   Multi modules support for nuauth : you can chain authentication
or logging modules
   -   UDP support for libnuclient
   -   nufw : support for the new libnetfilter_queue library on 2.6.14
and over

Here's the "full" changelog :
   -   full "a posteriori" IP authentication for mono user system via
hello message system
   -   nufw : port to libnetfilter_queue
   -   NuFW : many small fixes in the debian/ subdir : start in correct
runlevels, have smoother init scripts.
 -   nutcpc : add -l option to disable use of lock
   -   NuFW : all exchanges between clients and nuauth are now done in
UTF-8 by default. Use --with-utf8 at configure time to select this
behaviour on client side.
   -   plaintext module : cleaning and icmp support
   -   increase internal message usage instead of sending directly
structure to queue.
   -   nufw : get rid fo old UDP protocol
   -   nuauth : fix double free problem linked with string_escape
function
   -   libnuclient : new algo in push mode
   -   libnuclient : UDP support, need recent kernel
   -   nuauth : multi modules support
   -   nutrackd : brand new connection tracking system based on
libconntrack

A few release will follow before 1.2.0 occurs but the functionnal
changes over this release should be light.

Happy users filtering to all,
