copfilter-announce Mailing List for Copfilter

I want to announce next Copfilter release!

Copfilter 2.0.90 comes with some security improvements for services, 
small fixes and imspector improvements.
Services which was running as root in earlier versions, got dropped 
privileges. IPCop's menu handling is now
fully integrated. Imspector gui was revised and there was added the 
sqlite responder plugin, to advice
user that an IM logger is active.

I also want to say big thanks to all forum users for testing, sharing 
there thoughts and for helping, to become a more better piece of software!

Please enjoy!  ;-)

http://www.copfilter.org

It is planned, to integrate v2 improvements, fixes and enhancements in 
Copfilter v1, to get same release state as a next step!
