- ver. 0.10.4 (2018/10/04) - ten-four-on-due-date-ten-four
* https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/blob/0.10.4/ChangeLog
- Fixes
* `filter.d/dovecot.conf`:
- failregex enhancement to catch sql password mismatch errors (gh-2153);
- disconnected with "proxy dest auth failed" (gh-2184);
* `filter.d/freeswitch.conf`:
- provide compatibility for log-format from gh-2193:
* extended with new default date-pattern `^(?:%%Y-)?%%m-%%d[ T]%%H:%%M:%%S(?:\.%%f)?` to cover
`YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM::SS.ms` as well as `mm-dd HH:MM::SS.ms` (so year is optional);
* more optional arguments in log-line (so accept [WARN] as well as [WARNING] and optional [SOFIA] hereafter);
- extended with mode parameter, allows to avoid matching of messages like `auth challenge (REGISTER)`
(see gh-2163) (currently `extra` as default to be backwards-compatible), see comments in filter
how to set it to mode `normal`.
* `filter.d/domino-smtp.conf`:
- recognizes failures logged using another format (something like session-id, IP enclosed in square brackets);
- failregex extended to catch connections rejected for policy reasons (gh-2228);
* `action.d/hostsdeny.conf`: fix parameter in config (dynamic parameters stating with '_' are protected
and don't allowed in command-actions), see gh-2114;
* decoding stability fix by wrong encoded characters like utf-8 surrogate pairs, etc (gh-2171):
- fail2ban running in the preferred encoding now (as default encoding also within python 2.x), mostly
`UTF-8` in opposite to `ascii` previously, so minimizes influence of implicit conversions errors;
- actions: avoid possible conversion errors on wrong-chars by replace tags;
- database: improve adapter/converter handlers working on invalid characters in sense of json and/or sqlite-database;
additionally both are exception-safe now, so avoid possible locking of database (closes gh-2137);
- logging in fail2ban is process-wide exception-safe now.
* repaired start-time of initial seek to time (as well as other log-parsing related data),
if parameter `logpath` specified before `findtime`, `backend`, `datepattern`, etc (gh-2173)
* systemd: fixed type error on option `journalflags`: an integer is required (gh-2125);
- New Features
* new option `ignorecache` to improve performance of ignore failure check (using caching of `ignoreip`,
`ignoreself` and `ignorecommand`), see `man jail.conf` for syntax-example;
* `ignorecommand` extended to use actions-similar replacement (capable to interpolate
all possible tags like ``, ``, ``, `F-USER` etc.)
- Enhancements
* `filter.d/dovecot.conf`: extended with tags F-USER (and alternatives) to collect user-logins (gh-2168)
* since v.0.10.4, fail2ban-client, fail2ban-server and fail2ban-regex will return version without logo info,
additionally option `-V` can be used to get version in normalized machine-readable short format.
- rebase patches
* fail2ban-opensuse-locations.patch
* fail2ban-opensuse-service.patch
- add signature file
