[<un...@hu...>]

Lectori Salutem

The Rootkit Hunter project is pleased to announce all the hard work 
and testing culminated in the final release of Rootkit Hunter 
version 1.3.0. For download please see: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rkhunter/. The changelog for this 
release is packed listing over 30 new features, over 40 changes and 
over 20 bugfixes. To name a few:

- New command-line option '--propupd' replaces 'hashupd.sh'.
- New command-line option '--pkgmgr' supporting RPM, Dpkg and BSD-
style package managers.
- New command-line option '--hash' to select the hash function 
command for the file hash
  value check and the properties update.
- Added support for Ubuntu, and the 'dash' and 'ash' shells.
- Added basic internationalization (i18n) functionality.
- Added two new command-line and configuration file options, '--
enable' and '--disable'
  to specify which tests are to be carried out and which are to be 
ignored.
- Added support for Solaris 10 inetd mechanism (inetadm).
- Application version numbers can now be whitelisted. This caters 
for those distributions
  that may patch a 'known bad' version, but without updating the 
original version number.
- Fixes since rkhunter-1.3.0-beta 2

There's much, much more. Please see the changelog for details on 
all the features, changes
and bugfixes.

My sincere thanks to all who made and make this project and this 
release possible. While
there are many known and unknown contributors, and all constructive 
support is viewed as
equally important, I would like to thank John Horne by name. 
Without his efforts many
improvements and features would not have been introduced *at all*.


Te Salutatem, 
unSpawn
