LibNetBlock - A Network Blocking Library / The LNB Blog: Recent posts

According to the ChangeLog file, the first version of LibNetBlock was created on 2011-06-16, so June the 16th can be considered LibNetBlock's "birthday".
Not much movement in the project recently, but work is being done off-line.

According to the ChangeLog file, the very first version of LibNetBlock, 0.1, was created on 2011-06-16.
It wasn't on SourceForge from the beginning, but nevertheless, June the 16th is LibNetBlock's "birthday".

The problem with disappearing "Tickets"/"Defects" seems to be resolved now.

The documentation in the TeXinfo format (which normally resides only inside the packages) has been converted to HTML and provided on the project website at https://libnetblock.sourceforge.io/docs/ for convenience. This documentation should provide more information to current and potential users.
Remember that the most up-to-date documentation is always in the software package.

There seems to be some temporary problem with project tickets (Defects and Tickets): they disappear after a few days after being created.
I've reported this to SF.

Significant portability updates. LibNetBlock now compiles on FreeBSD and macOS (as provided by Travis CI): https://app.travis-ci.com/github/bogdro/libnetblock.
Intercepting new functions and improvements in the old.
Improvements in banning.
Code quality improvements, including fixes recommended by Codacy.
Improvements in the build system.
Significant improvements in the documentation.
New unit tests.
Other small changes.

LibNetBlock has been checked by Codacy and got the "A" grade. Current status:

LibNetBlock has been uploaded to a test repository on GitHub, has passed a build on their system and a code security check (the only warning is about a temporary file used by configure).

According to the ChangeLog file, the very first version of LibNetBlock, 0.1, was created on 2011-06-16.
It wasn't on SourceForge from the beginning (my projects need to have at least a few versions and a forseeable future to be promoted to SF), but nevertheless June the 16th is LibNetBlock's "birthday".

The LibNetBlock's website (https://libnetblock.sourceforge.io/) got a content listing at the top. The order of the sections has also been changed to hopefully provide information in the most important order (which is subjective for the reader).

As a result of SF's encouragement to using icons, I've decided to do some experiments with the Inkscape program.
I chose Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) because I wanted the icon to be scalable to any size without losing quality and the only way to achieve that is with vector graphics.
The icon may be "tuned" or even fully changed later, but for now you can enjoy the current looks on the project page on SF and on the LibNetBlock's homepage at https://libnetblock.sourceforge.io/ (both in the content and as the site icon). These icons are in the PNG format (another open standard), because this is what SF allows here, but the source is still SVG.

Encouraged by SF, I've decided to launch blogs for my software hosted here (IMYplay, LibHideIP, LibNetBlock, LibSecRm, JYMAG and WipeFreeSpace).
The blog will be a place where I will announce noteworthy changes to LibNetBlock or its website, and new releases.
Remeber that the first place that gets notifed of a new release is ... the release page on SF (called "Files"), so be sure to watch that one as a first source of information on new releases. The page also has a data feed!
