Hi,

The v1.3 alpha5 iso is online right now.

         MD5: 2ea2e61465292a9b8a74d52984b3c1ed

MAJOR CHANGES SINCE alpha3:
- Rewrite of portforwarding code (thanks to Darren Critchley)
- Lots and lots of fixes
- Unicode support in the installer
- Update of Speedtouch code.
- Upgrade to Linux 2.4.20
- New pppd, with filter on outgoing traffic for dial-on-demand
- Added custom dyndns support to dynamic dns support
- Logs are now saved for 52 weeks and can be queried back that far
- You can change languages online
- New partitioning scheme
- Connection speed reporting for modems

TESTING:
If anyone has a Speedtouch 330 at home, could you please test it with 
this release.  I think we need one minor change to get it to work, but 
am not sure yet.  Please contact me personally.
Also, if you have an ECI compatible modem or know someone with such a 
modem, please test if you can get a connections (see 
http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/).

BUGS:
If you do find a bug, please try to narrow it down as far as possible. 
If at all possible, provide a bug fix ;-)
I don't have every type of connection and can't test all of the above 
changes myself.  Report bugs on the sourceforge.net website under the 
bugs section (1.3 alpha).

FUTURE:
For the future, there are some small patches still waiting:
- Port forwarding a range of ports
- Small layout change in time setting
I hope to get these in soon and get to beta withint 1-2 weeks. If you 
have any changes that you want to put into 1.3 (and are willing to 
write!), please let me know now.

Kind regards,

Mark Wormgoor
