[bwm-tools-tech] Release 0.2.0

[Nigel K. <nk...@lb...>]

Hi Guys,

This release is the combined result of over 1 year of development, it
has since then been running production in our test environment and all
bugs have been cleared up (hopefully).

Seeing as no serious bugs or issues were reported with the last devel
snapshot, I'm glad to release stable version 0.2.0.

Significant changes since the last stable release are as follows...

* Multiple compile fixes
* Various build fixes
* Extra checking in code for invalid specifications in XML config file
* Fixed bug in rate limiting code which allowed some flows to exceed
their maximum allowed rate
* Error messages are now returned for invalid command line arguments
* More verbose error messages from reporting module
* Bug in datetime parser (in bwm_graph) has been fixed
* Generated iptables-restore file now has timestamp
* Added logging support to bwmd
* Usage of bwm_firewall has been changed, scripts will need to be updated!
* bwm_firewall now support loading of firewall instead of user having to
run iptables-restore manually
* bwm_graph usage options were changed, scripts will need to be updated!
some options removed, some added.
* DOCUMENTATION is now available!!
* bwm-tools can now build rrdtool and link against it all on its own, no
need for system-wide rrdtool installation
* Fixed wrapping of nfmark value
* Required versions of libraries were fixed to reflect test results
* Bounds of prio was fixed
* Improved bandwidth limiting formula
* ECN support (needs testing)
* Added support for MASQUERADE target in NAT section
