  * New upstream release:
    - inotify backend is supported (and the default if pyinotify is present).
      It should bring number of wakeups to minimum (Closes: #481265)
    - usedns jail.conf parameter to disable reverse DNS mapping to
      avoid of DoS (see #588431, #514239 for related discussions)

    - match possibly present "pam_unix(sshd:auth):" portion for sshd
      (Closes: #648020)
    - wu-ftpd: added failregex for use against syslog. Switch to monitor syslog
      (instead of auth.log) by default (Closes: #514239)
    - anchor chain name in actioncheck's for iptables actions (Closes: #672228)
  * debian/jail.conf:

      Thanks Stefano Forli for a report
