Hello all, From the website: http://www.simonzone.com/software/guarddog/ 30 November, 2006 - I've been busy with other projects (like Guidance, Kubuntu and Python+Qt+KDE) for a long time now. And in that time I've received a fairly constant flow of patches, additions, translations etc for Guarddog. Even though I've been busy, it would be shame to let the work and contributions from the community be wasted. So, in the last few days I've finally put in the hours to gather up the material that has been sent in and turn it into a development release. With my excuses out of the way, it is time to announce... Development version 2.5.1 is available to download. The biggest visible change is the addition of the "Port reference" tab. This extra functionality was contributed by Ray Lambert. (And I polished it just a tiny little bit). There are also some extra translations contributed by numerous people. The change log is here BTW. Thanks go to everyone for their contributions and patience. Questions and bug reports can best be placed on the mailing list. It has been a long time since I've had enough time to individually answer and help people set up Guarddog, sorry. Now, on to the future. Guarddog is currently based on KDE 3 and Qt 3. Qt 4 has been out for quite a while already (about a year), and the KDE juggernaut is also moving along towards KDE 4. Although Guarddog hasn't been updated much lately, it is certainly not ready for retirement. In fact I've been thinking about porting it soon to Qt 4 / KDE 4, and opening up the development more by using a source code repository (like KDE's subversion repository) that other people could work on if they wanted to. As a matter of fact, I've already got a basic (read: incomplete) port of Guidedog to Qt 4 and Python. cheers, -- Simon Edwards | KDE-NL, Guidance tools, Guarddog Firewall [email protected] | http://www.simonzone.com/software/ Nijmegen, The Netherlands | "ZooTV?
