Containing a lot of maintenance and a fix for messed up iptables. Let's hope it will soon be succeeded by a new version with the more important stuff.

Please welcome "PeerGuardian Linux 2.3.0"!

One year, really? We're still alive and even have some plans for the future. The current release contains mainly old changes that accumulated the whole last year.

The default blocklist setup changed to a lighter one with Bluetack lists:
TBG has been dropped because it isn't updated on iblocklist anymore. Search the web to learn how to continue to get them. Instead we are back to some Bluetack lists, although probably with a less paranoid selection. Everybody is strongly encouraged to do his own research on the quality of the several blocklist providers. Then you can select the correct blocklists based on your own personal needs. Comments welcome!

Removed the (non-default) feature to directly DROP and ACCEPT packets (as in MoBlock 0.8), instead of using the (default) MARKing feature.!

Please welcome "PeerGuardian Linux 2.2.4"!

After nearly an year of development we are proud and glad to offer a new release of pgl. This version has native systemd integration, better local blocklist support, an overhauled pglgui and a lot of bugfixes.

Please welcome "PeerGuardian Linux 2.2.2"!

This is mainly a bug fix release. As some of you may have noticed, this project here at sourceforge has migrated to the new [SourceForge 2.0 allura](http://sourceforge.net/projects/allura/). Please update your links and URLs, e.g. of the git repository.

"PeerGuardian Linux 2.2.1" released

jre-phoenix — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 11:37:27 -0000

Please welcome "PeerGuardian Linux 2.2.1"\! This version adds the last feature only present in mobloquer, but not in pglgui: "whois information about blocked IPs". Since I also fixed or workarounded all issues with older Debian and Ubuntu versions I added transitional packages for the old moblock/blockcontrol/mobloquer packages. This means the Debian/Ubuntu world now moves to pgl automatically. \(Except the 2008 Ubuntu Long Term Release Hardy which I think is ok to be left behind forever ;P \) Get "pgl 2.2.1" at https://sourceforge.net/projects/peerguardian/files/PeerGuardian%20Linux/ The development code is in the git repository at sourceforge, see https://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=git&group\_id=131687 Complete 2.2.1 ChangeLog: \[jre\] \* Disabled dbus closing and reopening on reload. Fixes bug "pgld binaries built under Ubuntu Oneiric, Precise and Mint 12 crash on reload" \(Closes: SF Bug \#3495654\) \* fixed Makefile clean target \[freemind\] \* Fixed log viewer dialog to not close on key press. \* Added whois action. \* Minor tweaks. \* Fixed \(random\) unapplied changes at start-up bug. \* Added sortable columns in whitelist view. \* Added automatic saving and restoring of window's state.

Let's go on with pgl 2.1.3. Several fixes, mainly for cross distro support. pgl 2.1.3 \[jre\] \* added "+" to default nice values \(+0 for pgld\).

Fixes building in Ubuntu oneiric. \* impoved output of show\_config to show the version of the LSB init functions. \[freemind\] \* fixed pgl-gui crash due to missing braces in if clause. \-- jre <jre-phoenix@users.sourceforge.net> Sat, 17 Sep 2011 15:44:54 +0200 Get installation instruction and the source itself at https://sourceforge.net/projects/peerguardian/files/PeerGuardian%20Linux/
