Comment 21 for bug 372304

Good news!!!

The project is still alive: Arturo Busleiman (a.k.a Buanzo) is now one of the fail2ban developers and Cyril Jaquier is working on fail2ban as well. For further details see

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4A9A7658.6010200%40buanzo.com.ar&forum_name=fail2ban-users

Buanzo has commited some patches to SVN and I have already tested them on Fedora 11. Seems that all problems are fixed now. There have to be done some more testing (with other distributions) but I hope there will be a new release in the near future ...

If you are interested in testing the newest/unstable version of fail2ban you can use the nightly build from http://www.fail2ban.org/nightly/ (direct link is http://www.fail2ban.org/nightly/fail2ban-FAIL2BAN-0_8.tar.bz2). But you have to wait for the nightly build from 2009-09-01 (or use a SVN snapshot) because some patches have been commited today (i.e. after the current nightly build).
