IPCop 0.2 Release -2.4 Kernel (with LIDS? Grsecurity?) -IPTables -XMLRPC backend/frontend -Rewrite of almost all code ! -Backup / restore config to/from xml -Firewall rules through webinterface -Wireless networking -Squidguard (with automatic updating??) -Allow connections from green to red interface (if possible) _Replacement for IPAC_ -DHCP to DNS -IPSec Masq (If available by release date!) -Website translation interface / reports Given how lonnnnnnggggg 0.1.2 has been coming......, I guess that 0.2 will be about at least a year or so away, so you might be safe using IPAC for awhile, but it is not a longer term solution. What is the replacement for IPAC that is scheduled?
