[Nufw-Announces] NuFW 2.0-beta1, one step before 2.0

[nufw-announces]

Hi,

The NuFW Core Team is proud to announce the availability of NuFW
2.0-beta1.

This new release adds a bunch of new exiting functionnalities : 
-  Support of ICMP Reject message : user can now be warned when a packet
has been blocked by NuFW. 
-  Expiration of connections and TRUE time based acls : one can now
define a 8am-6pm time period and link it with an acl. Connections can
start during this interval and are automatically killed at 6pm. 
-  Better X509 support thanks to Eole sponsoring. 
-  Support of multiple iterations of a module, each iteration with a
specific config file : nuauth can log in two different MySQL databases
for example, or get auth from two distinct LDAP directories... 
-  Better libnuclient : It now has an error handling structure. 
-  More endian friendly protocol between client and nuauth 
-  Massive code cleaning and documentation (written by and for
developpers but existing anyway ;-)

This beta release has almost taken the name of release candidate. It
seems to be fairly stable on all our test system.

Happy user filtering to all,
