Dear All,

On behalf of everyone who contributed (and there is over 30 people!!!)
to the development of Fail2Ban since 0.9.0, I am proud to announce that

 0.9.1  was tagged on GitHub, and uploaded to Debian sid

I have also uploaded a limited set of builds to -devel repository of the
NeuroDebian happen you would like to try your luck using Fail2Ban on
previous releases of Debian or Ubuntu.  Those builds differ from stock
Debian sid build that they still use Python 2  while upload to sid uses
Python 3 since there is only python3-systemd package now.

Thanks once again everyone who contributed by commits/pull-requests and/or
helping out on the issue tracker and mailing list!  Changelog for this release
is quite impressive:


ver. 0.9.1 (2014/10/29) - better, faster, stronger
----------

- Refactoring (IMPORTANT -- Please review your setup and configuration):
   * iptables-common.conf replaced iptables-blocktype.conf
     (iptables-blocktype.local should still be read) and now also
     provides defaults for the chain, port, protocol and name tags

- Fixes:
   * start of file2ban aborted (on slow hosts, systemd considers the server has
     been timed out and kills him), see gh-824
   * UTF-8 fixes in pure-ftp thanks to Johannes Weberhofer. Closes gh-806.
   * systemd backend error on bad utf-8 in python3
   * badips.py action error when logging HTTP error raised with badips request
   * fail2ban-regex failed to work in python3 due to space/tab mix
   * recidive regex samples incorrect log level
   * journalmatch for recidive incorrect PRIORITY
   * loglevel couldn't be changed in fail2ban.conf
   * Handle case when no sqlite library is available for persistent database
   * Only reban once per IP from database on fail2ban restart
   * Nginx filter to support missing server_name. Closes gh-676
   * fail2ban-regex assertion error caused by miscount missed lines with
     multiline regex
   * Fix actions failing to execute for Python 3.4.0. Workaround for
     http://bugs.python.org/issue21207
   * Database now returns persistent bans on restart (bantime < 0)
   * Recursive action tags now fully processed. Fixes issue with bsd-ipfw
     action
   * Fixed TypeError with "ipfailures" and "ipjailfailures" action tags.
     Thanks Serg G. Brester
   * Correct times for non-timezone date times formats during DST
   * Pass a copy of, not original, aInfo into actions to avoid side-effects
   * Per-distribution paths to the exim's main log
   * Ignored IPs are no longer banned when being restored from persistent
     database
   * Manually unbanned IPs are now removed from persistent database, such they
     wont be banned again when Fail2Ban is restarted
   * Pass "bantime" parameter to the actions in default jail's action
     definition(s)
   * filters.d/sieve.conf - fixed typo in _daemon.  Thanks Jisoo Park
   * cyrus-imap -- also catch also failed logins via secured (imaps/pop3s).
     Regression was introduced while strengthening failregex in 0.8.11 (bd175f)
     Debian bug #755173
   * postfix-sasl - added journalmatch.  Thanks Luc Maisonobe
   * postfix* - match with a new daemon string (postfix/submission/smtpd).
     Closes gh-804 .  Thanks Paul Traina
   * apache - added filter for AH01630 client denied by server configuration.

     - directadmin  Thanks niorg
     - apache-shellshock  Thanks Eugene Hopkinson (SlowRiot)
   - New actions:

   - fail2ban-client can fetch the running server version
   - Added Cloudflare API action

- Enhancements
   * Start performance of fail2ban-client (and tests) increased, start time
     and cpu usage rapidly reduced. Introduced a shared storage logic, to
     bypass reading lots of config files (see gh-824).
     Thanks to Joost Molenaar for good catch (reported gh-820).
   * Fail2ban-regex - add print-all-matched option. Closes gh-652
   * Suppress fail2ban-client warnings for non-critical config options
   * Match non "Bye Bye" disconnect messages for sshd locked account regex
   * courier-smtp filter:
     - match lines with user names
     - match lines containing "535 Authentication failed" attempts
   * Add <chain> tag to iptables-ipsets
   * Realign fail2ban log output with white space to improve readability. Does
     not affect SYSLOG output
   * Log unhandled exceptions
