Hi!

The Netfilter project presents libnetfilter_conntrack-0.9.0

libnetfilter_conntrack is a userspace library providing a programming interface (API) to the in-kernel connection tracking state table. This library requires a linux kernel >= 2.6.18.

This release includes two fixes and the infrastructure to generate API documentation in doxygen format. ChangeLog is also attached for more details.

You can download it from:

Pablo,
on behalf of the Netfilter Core Team.

src: convert documentation from kerneldoc to doxygen format
ct: fix EINVAL if not TCP attributes are set for Linux kernel <= 2.6.25
build: bump version to 0.9.0

Did you not like the doxygen filter that allows to use kdoc in the .c files?

I liked it indeed, actually I used it to transform the current doc to doxygen. I decided to switch to doxygen for consistency with other libnetfilter_* libraries.

P.S: I'll check your libnetfilter_conntrack patches tomorrow, thanks!

Hm that certainly wasn't the intended purpose of the filter :-D

It was to proliferate kdoc, because frankly, doxygen with all its \param, \brief, clutters the actual text flow and starts to look as ugly as a TeX/HTML document. I guess that is because the formatting codes actually use plaintext rather than punctuation (just @ and %) only. kdoc is simple because it does not try to offer all possible formatting capabilities.
