line length

20051020
Since last entry:
* ebtables modules are now located in /usr/lib/ebtables/

* added ebtables-save (thanks to Rok Papez <rok.papez@arnes.si>)
and ebtables-restore (the first one a perl script, the second
one written in c (fast))

very fast.
* ebtablesd/ebtablesu is deprecated and not compiled by default
the ebtables-save/ebtables-restore scheme is much better
20050117
Since last entry:
* added ulog watcher

addition of rules (and to test the modular code).

20031102
Since last entry:
* <grzes_at_gnu.univ.gda.pl> added arpreply and among modules

without specified chain)
20030601
* added --Lmac2
* <csv_at_bluetail.com> Chris Vitale: basic 802.3/802.2 filtering
(experimental, kernel files are in the CVS)

* fixed problem when removing a chain (report from
ykphuah_at_greenpacket.com).
* Added --help list_extensions which, well, lists the extensions
20021203
* changed the way to use the atomic operations. It's now possible
to use the EBTABLES_ATOMIC_FILE environment variable, so it's no
longer necessary to explicitly state the file name. See the man.
20021120
* changed the way of compiling. New releases will now contain their
own set of kernel includes. No more copying of kernel includes to
/usr/include/linux

the user inputs the command.

20020520
* update help for -s and -d

* add SYMLINK option for compiling
20020501
* allow -i and --logical-in in BROUTING
* update the manual page
* rename /etc/etherproto into /etc/ethertypes (seems to be a more
standard name)

Broadcast specification for specifying a (family of) MAC
addresses.
20020427
* added broute table.
* added redirect target.
* added --redirect-target, --snat-target and --dnat-target options.

* snat bugfix (->size)
20020414
* fixed some things in the manual.
* fixed -P problem.
20020411
* -j standard no longer works, is this cryptic? good :)
* lots of beautification.
- made some code smaller
- made everything fit within 80 columns
* fix problems with -i and -o option
* print_memory now prints useful info
* trying to see the tables when ebtables is not loaded in kernel
no longer makes this be seen as a bug.
20020403
ebtables v2.0 released, changes:
* A complete rewrite, made everything modular.
* Fixed a one year old bug in br_db.c. A similar bug was present
in ebtables.c. It was visible when the number of rules got
bigger (around 90).
* Removed the option to allow/disallow counters. Frames passing
by are always counted now.
* Didn't really add any new functionality. However, it will be
_alot_ easier and prettier to do so now. Feel free to add an
extension yourself.
* There are 4 types of extensions:
- Tables.
- Matches: like iptables has.
- Watchers: these only watch frames that passed all the matches
of the rule. They don't change the frame, nor give a verdict.
The log extension is a watcher.
- Targets.
* user32/kernel64 architectures like the Sparc64 are unsupported.
If you want me to change this, give me access to such a box,
and don't pressure me.
