ver. 0.9.2 (2015/04/29) - better-quick-now-than-later
----------

- Fixes:
   * Fix ufw action commands
   * infinite busy loop on _escapedTags match in substituteRecursiveTags gh-907.
     Thanks TonyThompson
   * port[s] typo in jail.conf/nginx-http-auth gh-913. Thanks Frederik Wagner
     (fnerdwq)
   * $ typo in jail.conf. Thanks Skibbi. Debian bug #767255
   * grep'ing for IP in *mail-whois-lines.conf should now match also
     at the beginning and EOL.  Thanks Dean Lee
   * jail.conf
     - php-url-fopen: separate logpath entries by newline
   * failregex declared direct in jail was joined to single line (specifying of
     multiple expressions was not possible).
   * filters.d/exim.conf - cover different settings of exim logs
     details. Thanks bes.internal
   * filter.d/postfix-sasl.conf - failregex is now case insensitive
   * filters.d/postfix.conf - add 'Client host rejected error message' failregex
   * fail2ban/__init__.py - add strptime thread safety hack-around
   * recidive uses iptables-allports banaction by default now.
     Avoids problems with iptables versions not understanding 'all' for
     protocols and ports
   * filter.d/dovecot.conf
     - match pam_authenticate line from EL7
     - match unknown user line from EL7
   * Use use_poll=True for Python 2.7 and >=3.4 to overcome "Bad file
     descriptor" msgs issue (gh-161)
   * filter.d/postfix-sasl.conf - tweak failregex and add ignoreregex to ignore
     system authentication issues
   * fail2ban-regex reads filter file(s) completely, incl. '.local' file etc.
     (gh-954)
   * firewallcmd-* actions: split output into separate lines for grepping (gh-908)
   * Guard unicode encode/decode issues while storing records in the database.
     Fixes "binding parameter error (unsupported type)" (gh-973), thanks to kot
     for reporting
   * filter.d/sshd added regex for matching openSUSE ssh authentication failure
   * filter.d/asterisk.conf:
     - Dropped "Sending fake auth rejection" failregex since it incorrectly
       targets the asterisk server itself
     - match "hacking attempt detected" logs

- New Features:
   - New filters:
     - postfix-rbl  Thanks Lee Clemens
     - apache-fakegooglebot.conf  Thanks Lee Clemens
     - nginx-botsearch  Thanks Frantisek Sumsal
     - drupal-auth  Thanks Lee Clemens
   - New recursive embedded substitution feature added:
     - `<<PREF>HOST>` becomes `<IPV4HOST>` for PREF=`IPV4`;
     - `<<PREF>HOST>` becomes `1.2.3.4` for PREF=`IPV4` and IPV4HOST=`1.2.3.4`;
   - New interpolation feature for config readers - `%(known/parameter)s`.
     (means last known option with name `parameter`). This interpolation makes
     possible to extend a stock filter or jail regexp in .local file
     (opposite to simply set failregex/ignoreregex that overwrites it),
     see gh-867.
   - Monit config for fail2ban in files/monit/
   - New actions:
     - action.d/firewallcmd-multiport and action.d/firewallcmd-allports Thanks Donald Yandt
     - action.d/sendmail-geoip-lines.conf
     - action.d/nsupdate to update DNSBL. Thanks Andrew St. Jean
   - New status argument for fail2ban-client -- flavor:
     fail2ban-client status <jail> [flavor]
     - empty or "basic" works as-is
     - "cymru" additionally prints (ASN, Country RIR) per banned IP
       (requires dnspython or dnspython3)
   - Flush log at USR1 signal

- Enhancements:
   * Enable multiport for firewallcmd-new action.  Closes gh-834
   * files/debian-initd migrated from the debian branch and should be
     suitable for manual installations now (thanks Juan Karlo de Guzman)
   * Define empty ignoreregex in filters which didn't have it to avoid
     warnings (gh-934)
   * action.d/{sendmail-*,xarf-login-attack}.conf - report local
     timezone not UTC time/zone. Closes gh-911
   * Conditionally log Ignore IP with reason (dns, ip, command). Closes gh-916
   * Absorbed DNSUtils.cidr into addr2bin in filter.py, added unittests
   * Added syslogsocket configuration to fail2ban.conf
   * Note in the jail.conf for the recidive jail to increase dbpurgeage (gh-964)
