Mobloquer 0.6 is out

After a longer pause a release again. This time not by jimtb, who has real life time constraints currently; but by me, jre (maintaner of moblock-deb.sourceforge.net and author of blockcontrol).
This release incorporates changes that jimtb made already last summer. Although they are not completely finished yet, I decided to make a release because of a significant change: mobloquer is based on the IP block daemon MoBlock and the CLI moblock-control. Since the latter changed its name to blockcontrol, I adapted the mobloquer source to have a working release again.
So what you need now is
- mobloquer (from here),
- MoBlock (from moblock.berlios.de) and
- blockcontrol (from moblock-deb.sourceforge.net).
You can get Debian/Ubuntu packages of all of them, at moblock-deb.sourceforge.net.

Changes:
jimtb:
ADDED: getValueFromBashVar() function which replaces the bash variables in moblock.conf with their values. As a result, the number of file paths which the user will be able to configure will be greatly reduced in the next version of mobloquer and it will become much easier to use more configuration files if needed.
FIXED: Added Q_FUNC_INFO in all qDebug(), qWarning() and qCritical() messages.
FIXED: Small changes in debugging information so that they include the function name too (not fully implemented yet).
FIXED: Changed the project file to enable debugging.
jre:
FIXED: adapted to support and use blockcontrol (previously moblock-control), save all changes in blockcontrol.conf.
FIXED: adapted to new master blocklist place
FIXED: Don't create lockfile. Previously it was in /tmpmobloquer.lock instead of /tmp/mobloquer.lock.
FIXED: added hint that notimestamp is no more used by "blockcontrol notimestamp"
