It's very short and consise, e.g. http://freshmeat.net/projects/iptraf/?branch_id=4549&release_id=207199 "This release includes major changes to the filtering system, including recognition of CIDR notation, additional protocol recognition, and automatic protocol name lookup. Interface support has also been expanded." The good thing with freshmeat.net is that the information is available in a machine-readable format: http://freshmeat.net/projects-xml/iptraf/iptraf.xml?branch_id=4549 Unfortunately, that "change" information does not seem to be included. > I read some hardware magazines.

(this is only > an example, don't answer the question :-) Ok, now I see what you mean. Would rather be some kind of "openSUSE newsletter", something similar to what Georg Greve does with his "brave GNU world": http://www.gnu.org/brave-gnu-world/issue-59.en.html but about new packages on SUSE Linux, of course. Would be interesting as a monthly newsletter, written by various members of the openSUSE community, where anyone could take some time an submit an article like "hey, I found this interesting package" or "what's new in ...". Good idea indeed, but we'd need a lot of committed people to do something like that on a regular basis. As always, it's up to having committed people ;) cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDLrpur3NMWliFcXcRAmjrAKCivpmlIL+uvDJNL2MeMEycwHklMQCePC3D yDtb0WdrYTCL26xSbwM7R2o= =q/Br -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
