Hi!

The netfilter coreteam proudly presents:

	iptables version 1.2.9rc1

Version 1.2.9rc1 is the first release candidate of the upcoming 1.2.9
version.  Please note that this is a _release candidate_ and not the
final version.  It is supposed to be stable, but might still contain
some minor glitches.  If you are testing 1.2.9rc1 and run into any bugs,
please report them immediately to our bugzilla bug tracking system.

The ChangeLog is attached to this mail.

Version 1.2.9rc1 can be obtained from:

	http://www.netfilter.org/files/iptables-1.2.9rc1.tar.bz2
	ftp://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/iptables/iptables-1.2.9rc1.tar.bz2

Please note that since iptables-1.2.7 patch-o-matic is no longer part of
iptables, but distributed as a seperate package.  You can obtain the
latest release and daily CVS snapshots from:

  "Fragmentation is like classful addressing -- an interesting early
   architectural error that shows how much experimentation was going
   on while IP was being designed."                    -- Paul Vixie
