Jan Paul Tuecking mengumumkan rilis IPFire 2.7, distribusi Linux spesialis untuk Firewall: Today we are going to release IPFire 2.7. At first we will only release the ISO files, the update is not yet available via pakfire.

The update on pakfire will be released next friday, 2010-07-09, so there is enough time to change the IPSec tunnels. There are about 400 changes in the new IPFire version: updated Linux kernel to stable LTS (2.6.32.15); updated OpenSSL to version 0.9.8o; updated Net-SSLeay to version 1.36; switched IPSec from OpenSwan to StrongSwan version 4.4.0; fixed VPN-watch hang at connection re-start; updated Snort to stable 2.8.6; removed snort md5 check, added free space check; added support for alix2 LEDs; added Vodafone K3765 and K4505 usbids to option driver…. ...
