Revision history for Perl extension IPTables::ChainMgr.

0.9 Sat Feb 11 23:11:45 2008

• Added Net::IPv4Addr prerequisite to Makefile.PL (patch submitted by Dominik Gehl).
• Updated perldoc documentation to properly discuss the delete_chain() API. The material about the $jump_from_chain was missing (Darien Kindlund reported this issue).
• Applied patch from Darien Kindlund to add the ability to specify the source MAC address via the --mac-source <addr> command line argument to iptables.

0.8 Fri Oct 17 11:35:15 2008

• Added the ability to control the iptables execution model. The default is to use waitpid(), but other options are to use system() or popen().
• Added the ability to introduce a configurable time delay between each iptables command.
• Added the ability to use a function reference for the SIGCHLD signal handler.
• Added the ability to configure the number of seconds used as the alarm timeout for iptables command execution in the waitpid() execution model.
• Passed IPTables::ChainMgr options for execution model, configurable alarm timeouts, the SIGCHLD signal handler reference, and the configurable number of seconds for additional sleeps between iptables commands to the IPTables::Parse module.
• Bugfix for SIGALRM handling to be more consistent with an example from the perlipc man page.
• Added append_ip_rule() so that new iptables rules can be appended to the end of a chain instead of just inserted at a particular rule number.

0.7 Sat May 17 10:49:15 2008

• Added perldoc documentation for 0.7 release.
