Greetings,

It is my pleasure to announce the availability of the SSHGuard 1.6.2
release. This release backports a compatibility fix for the iptables
backend and overhauls the ipfw backend.

If you are not using either backend, you do not need to upgrade. If
you are not currently experiencing issues with 'iptables', you do not
need to upgrade. If you are running 'ipfw', you should definitely upgrad
e.

If you are running 'ipfw', you will need to make changes to your
firewall configuration. SSHGuard will add addresses to table 22
(currently hard-coded in SSHGuard); you will need to write the
firewall rule that uses the table to actually do something.

This will most likely be the last release from the 1.6 branch.
Developing in 'master' and backporting fixes for releases is too
cumbersome at this point and prevents features from landing at a
reasonable pace. Future releases will be cut from 'master', beginning
with 1.7.0. I haven't figured out a version scheme, though.

The source tarball, along with a GPG-signed checksum, is available
from SourceForge. Only a XZ'ed tarball is available; if anyone still
needs a gzip'ed tarball please let me know.

As usual, please report issues on the Bitbucket tracker or mailing list.

Best,
Kevin Zheng
