[Fail2ban-announce] New release (0.7.6)

[Cyril J. <cyr...@bl...>]

Hi all,

Here is a new beta release of Fail2ban. This version is still considered 
as beta because two important changes appear in this release:

1) The installation directory moved from /usr/lib/fail2ban to 
/usr/share/fail2ban
2) "failregex" and "ignoreregex" now support multiple regular expressions

This release contains a few minor bug fixes too. Please look at the 
CHANGELOG for a more complete list of changes.

Focus is still on documentation. Any help in this area would be 
appreciate (howto, FAQ, corrections of my poor English, etc). This can 
be done directly by editing the wiki.

I created several new pages on the wiki. They are regrouped here:

http://fail2ban.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Configuration

The idea is to list in these pages the logging messages that should be 
matched by Fail2ban. And this for each service/software.

The goal is to provide the best regular expressions which match these 
messages. The proposed regular expressions can be discussed on the 
discussion page of each software.

Please, do not hesitate to contribute, discuss or edit the wiki. The 
best way to see what changed on the wiki is to look at:

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.

Cheers,

Cyril Jaquier
