[Fail2ban-users] another call for testing -- release is coming

[Yaroslav H. <li...@on...>]

FWIW -- few more issues were addressed one of which required a change in
the core way on how shutdown is done (now communication with server gets
stopped first before jails get removed), so more testing would be
awesome... 

if no problems unraveled -- I hope to kick out a fresh release within a
week -- so you better get test/fix f2b now than after the release
;-)

minimalistic roadmap for the next (after upcoming) release would
be

* take care about suggested patch to be able to run fail2ban as
  unprivileged user, see

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=602016

  so if you are keen on this idea -- give it a shout

* choose/finalize one way or another IPv6 support
  (see previous discussions on the list)

* if time allows address more of outstanding reports filed within
  Debian

Cheers!
