Following some patches needed for NuFW and due to the fact for now only subversion release of the code is working, NuFW Core Team put here an unofficial release of nfnetlink related libraries and utils.
Another reason for this release is an article about NuFW and libnfnetlink in GNU Linux magazine france that will be published at the beginning of July 2006. A release of nfnetlink libraries in sync with NuFW code was thus needed to be usable at the moment of the publication of the article by the readers.
It is based on release 6624 of the subversion tree of Netfilter.
libnetfilter_conntrack and conntrack are patched to support fixed timeout of conntrack entry. It provides the ability to have connection tracking entry which die after a fixed timeout. This is used by NuFW to implement true time-based acls. For example, connection can be open between 08am and 6pm AND it has to be destroyed at 6pm.
The related kernel patch will be integrated in 2.6.18.
Official releases of libnfnetlink libraries and tools have been done June 18th, 2006. Thus differences with here provided software only comes from NuFW related patch that are still not pushed to subversion. In particular, libnetfilter_queue is the same as the official release.
