New upstream release 1.7.0

[Robert Pendell]

Please consider updating to 1.7.0. You don't have to build for all versions. Doing for Yakkity is fine if you wish. 1.7.0 implements new filters that allow an individual to block more traffic. This becomes more relevant for those that restrict the ciphers in use on ssh servers and is getting a ton of key exchange failure messages as a result from automated scripts. This version filters for that and will block IPs that hit that error multiple times in a configurable section of time. For the most part, I'm not aware of needing new patches. The existing code works as is. I believe the man page patch is no longer needed.

Release date: 8/8/2016
