[IPCop-Announce] Announce V1.4.2

[<ipc...@li...>]

Because Alan Hourihane has choosen to stop working on the IPCop project, I
would use this announce to thank him here for the hudge work he has made
allowing us to use the V1.4.x with so much features.

I take the challenge to maintain V1.4.
IPCop will need some more help to start development of V1.5 release.

IPCop 1.4.2 is now available at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=40604

MD5: bb41a1ad17ba6a52c1e41812b85fe40e  update-1.4.2.tgz.gpg
MD5: c80c0feb2b58e694312a65d89a09d386  ipcop-1.4.2.iso
MD5: b0b62d916b1f6db179da7013f83705b0  sources-ipcop-1.4.2.tgz
MD5: 487eb85cebe2048ed6c7dd2c0ed7a665  fcdsl-1.4.2.tgz


This new version, as usual can be installed as an update from previous
v1.4.x versions or with a ready-to-go ISO
for a fresh install.

On update, because some modules are updated, depmod is run after files
installation and it will take time on low machines during the.update
installation.

For frizt dsl modems, fcdsl-1.4.2.tgz could be uploaded into IPCop before
applying update-1.4.2.tgz.gpg
Only fcdsl2 was updated in this package.

V1.4.2 changes are only related to bug fixes.

For those who have try v1.4.2test1 update, you still need to install too
update-1.4.2.tgz.gpg as some files were missing in the test update (in
particular update of proxylog.dat). You could do that by :
- setting /etc/issue to v1.4.1 value
echo "IPCop v1.4.1 - The Bad Packets Stop Here" >/etc/issue
- setting /var/ipcop/header.pl with
$version = '1.4.1';
next you should be able to install from the web interface as a standard
user.

Because header.pl will be updated once again in the update, installed
add-ons may disappear from menus.
