Hi!

The netfilter project proudly presents:

	libnfnetlink-0.0.25
	libnfnetlink_conntrack-0.0.50
	libnetfilter_queue-0.0.13

libnfnetlink
is the low-level userspace library for nfnetlink based communication between the kernel-side netfilter and the userspace world.

libnfnetlink_conntrack
is the library for userspace access to the in-kernel connection tracking table.

libnetfilter_queue
is the library to filter and mangle packets from userspace

You can download the three releases from

Attached to this email the changelog. Upgrade is recommended.

Happy firewalling,

Pablo Neira Ayuso (for the Netfilter Project)

p.s: the signature verification can complain about the key expiration date, sorry for that, we are still in the process of the renewal.
