	Subject: [users] 0.9.9 available

	Hello,

	You all know already, but this is the "formal" announcement. :)

	You can get it from:
	http://www.smoothwall.org/get/

	The highlights of enhancements over 0.9.8 are:

	* Support for 14 languages, including: German, French, Afrikaans, Finnish,
	Swedish and Italian.

	* New, vastly improved, UI.

	* Support for USB ADSL using Alcatel modems.

	* Support for PPPoE.

	* Dial on Demand for ISDN and modems.  ISDN also features bandwidth on
	demand, for automatic bringing up of the second channel when it is needed.

	* PPTP passthrough for accessing Windows VPNs from the LAN.

	* New Squid, high performance, web proxy.

	* Keyboard/Timezone selectors.

	* Better DMZ support.  Servers on ORANGE are accessible from GREEN.
	Pinholes can be setup to allow ORANGE to access GREEN in a restricted way,
	for example, for use in webmail setups where mail server is on the local
	network.

	* Install updates via the web, even on remote smoothies, with an easy to
	use update system.

	* Access the web interface via HTTPS.

	* External access configuration page: restrict access to local ports by
	IP.

	* Better portforwarding.  Because incoming connections go through the
	external access rules, you can restrict forwarded to ports to a range of
	IPs.  UDP portforwarding has been added.

	* Web based VPN setup.  Setup multiple VPN tunnels from the web.  Export
	configurations and re-import on other SmoothWalls to setup networks of
	tunnels from a single desktop using just a browser.

	* Better log management.  Export logs.  All log views are paginated so a
	range of events is viewable at a time.

	* Firewall log has the ability to look up IPs, both in the form of a
	reverse DNS lookup and the RIPE info.

	* IDS using snort.  No setup required.  Log viewer for viewing events.

	* Dynamic DNS support for 5 popular dynamic DNS services.

	* Everything else that I've forgotten :)
