Bart De Schuymer27b121c2002-12-03 20:53:19 +00003120021203
32 * changed the way to use the atomic operations. It's now possible
33 to use the EBTABLES_ATOMIC_FILE environment variable, so it's no
34 longer necessary to explicitly state the file name. See the man.
Bart De Schuymer832f09c2002-11-20 19:40:28 +00003520021120
36 * changed the way of compiling. New releases will now contain their
37 own set of kernel includes. No more copying of kernel includes to
38 /usr/include/linux
39 * added getethertype.c (Nick) and use it. Removed name_to_number()
40 and number_to_name().
4120021106

78 the user inputs the command.
79 * try to autoload modules
80 * some minor bugfixes
81 * add user defined chains support (without new commands yet,
82 deliberately)
83 * comparing rules didn't take the logical devices into account
Bart De Schuymer1abc55d2002-06-01 19:23:47 +00008420020520
85 * update help for -s and -d

8820020501
89 * allow -i and --logical-in in BROUTING
90 * update the manual page

92 standard name)
93 * add MAC mask for -s and -d, also added Unicast, Multicast and
94 Broadcast specification for specifying a (family of) MAC
95 addresses.
9620020427

104 * fixed -P problem.
10520020411
106 * -j standard no longer works, is this cryptic? good :)
107 * lots of beautification.
108 - made some code smaller
109 - made everything fit within 80 columns
110 * fix problems with -i and -o option
111 * print_memory now prints useful info
112 * trying to see the tables when ebtables is not loaded in kernel
113 no longer makes this be seen as a bug.
11420020403
115 ebtables v2.0 released, changes:
116 * A complete rewrite, made everything modular.
117 * Fixed a one year old bug in br_db.c. A similar bug was present
118 in ebtables.c. It was visible when the number of rules got
119 bigger (around 90).
120 * Removed the option to allow/disallow counters. Frames passing
121 by are always counted now.
122 * Didn't really add any new functionality. However, it will be
123 _alot_ easier and prettier to do so now. Feel free to add an
124 extension yourself.
125 * There are 4 types of extensions:
126 - Tables.
127 - Matches: like iptables has.
128 - Watchers: these only watch frames that passed all the matches
129 of the rule. They don't change the frame, nor give a verdict.
130 The log extension is a watcher.
131 - Targets.
132 * user32/kernel64 architectures like the Sparc64 are unsupported.
133 If you want me to change this, give me access to such a box,
134 and don't pressure me.
