Release of nf-HiPAC version 0.9.0

During the development of version 0.9.0 everything was ported to Linux kernel 2.6 and large parts of the kernel code have been rewritten. The kernel patch is now fairly non-intrusive: it only adds one simple function to ip_tables.c. The rest of the patch introduces new files to the kernel. The new release fixes all known bugs and also introduces some new features.

Release of nf-HiPAC version 0.1a

Version 0.1a fixes the --syn and --not-syn match and a minor bug concerning the statistical output of /proc/net/nf-hipac.

December 9th, 2002:
Release of nf-HiPAC version 0.1

Version 0.1 should run on all kernel architectures (also 64 bit architectures). It is now possible to dynamically change invocation order of iptables and nf-HiPAC via /proc/net/nf-hipac without losing your rules. The release adds support for negation ("!") in matches. All outstanding bugs are fixed in this release.

Performance test results available

We now have the results of some basic performance tests available on our web page. The test compares the performance of the iptables filter table to the performance of nf-HiPAC. Results are pretty impressive :-)

September 4th, 2002:
Release of nf-HiPAC version 0.0.2

Version 0.0.2 adds a correct memory handling and allows the user to dynamically limit the maximum memory usage.
This release is considered to be far more stable than version 0.0.1 and shouldn't contain any critical bugs.
