[ulppd-devel] ulppd-0.0.7 now available

[Brad <br...@mi...>]

Hello,

I am pleased to announce that the 0.0.7 release of the UniversaL Postfix
Policy Daemon is now available[0] for your downloading pleasure.

This release has two main changes. Ulppd::Filter has been renamed
Ulppd::Policy, and function names, config paramaters, and more have been
updated. This is a BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE release.

In addition, a spec file has been created in errata/, and an RPM for the
latest release is now available[1]. This RPM was created for CentOS 5.2,
meaning it should apply cleanly to RHEL 5 for sure, and will likely work
for any rpm-based distribution. Testers for this RPM would be much
appreciated! Packages for other distributions are slated for future
releases. Any packagers out there are welcome to contribute in this
area! Submit bugs, suggestions, or updates through the mailing lists or
o the ulppd tracker[2].

Ulppd rpms will be signed with the projects.mifflinet RPM signing
key[3]. You can import it directly to your RPM database with the
following command:

rpm --import \
http://projects.mifflinet.org/RPM-GPG-KEY.projects.mifflinet.txt

Changes in this release:


v0.0.7  Brad Barden <br...@mi...>
  * This is a release to solidify the change from Ulppd::Filter to
    Ulppd::Policy.
  * Added inline documentation to ulppdctl. A man page can now be generated
    with pod2man.
  * Added a spec file to errata for building rpm.
  * Found a bug that's been around for a long time with the Net::Server patch
    (didn't apply cleanly)

Thanks!

[ulppd-devel] ulppd-0.0.6-alpha now available

[Brad <br...@mi...>]

Hello,

I am pleased to announce that the 0.0.6-alpha release of the UniversaL
Postfix Policy Daemon is now available[0] for your downloading pleasure.

This will be the last alpha release as the code is stabilizing, and will be
moved to beta status with the next release. Please treat this release as
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE. There are numerous incompatible changes to
functionality and interfaces, which from here on out will not occur in minor
version releases. I've little fear that anyone has code out there which will
break. :)

Updates to this version:

v0.0.6-alpha  Brad Barden  <br...@mi...>
  * Config files now support multiline parameters. A line beginning with
    whitespace is a continuation of the previous line.
  * Global and per-filter magic fail_open and reject_open config param.
  * No longer needed to call any SUPER functions from individual filters.
  * Filters now use magic package variables instead of setting $self->{item}
    directly.
  * Resolved bug #1. Woo!
  * New magic database management. See:
    https://wiki.mifflinet.org/Using_Databases
  * Updated configuration documentation.
  * Request hashes are timestamped in request_time.
  * Global and per-filter automagic configurable whitelists.
  * Added missing DEFER Filter method.
  * New included Filter Greylist. Can function as a drop-in replacement for
    postgrey.
  * Filters now have an automatically included config file. Include is no
    longer supported in config files.
  * Previously unnoticed bug squashed which was killing of child processes
    after each request.
  * Filters' new() function has been renamed startup_hook(). It no longer acts
    as a constructor.
  * New included filter SPFCheck.

Thanks!

Updates to this version:

v0.0.4-alpha    Brad Barden     <br...@mi...>

    permissions
  * Updated README

Thanks!
