Hi!

The Netfilter project proudly presents:

        nftables 1.1.5

This release contains fixes:

- Fix regressions in JSON ruleset listing, restore set flags to display single item with array:

- "flags": "interval"
+ "flags": ["interval"]

... and use "oif" result type instead of the new check for simple matching on fib:

- "result": "check"
+ "result": "oif"

to restore third party JSON parsers.

- Add new --with-unitdir=PATH option for ./configure to install the nftables systemd unit file. If PATH is not specified, then auto-detect systemd unit path. Check man(8) nftables.service for more information.

- Fix misleading "No buffer space available" error when kernel reports too many errors back to userspace.

... and a handful more of small fixes.

See changelog for more details (attached to this email).
