Bering-uClibc 4.x - Changelog
Changes between 4.0-beta1 and 4.0-beta2
(unreleased)
general:
updated syslinux to version 4.03
initrd:
moved busybox ntpd configuration files to a seperate package (bbntpd.lrp)
images:
add mawk.lrp to leaf.cfg LRP list (required by iptables)
buildtool:
fixed kernel version
kernel:
enabled kernel panic (& reboot if specified in sysctl.conf) on softlockup;
added warnings about hunged tasks;
added ESFQ support.
shorewall:
new upstream version 4.4.15
change macro syntax in LEAF default settings to current shorewall layout
added new packages shorewall-lite and shorewall6-lite for review and testing
openssl:
new upstream version 0.9.8q
quagga,zebra,ripd, ospfd, etc.:
remove requirement of librt.lrp (lib's already included in initrd)
ipset:
fix requires and help section
iptables:

hdsupp:
fix /sbin/fdisk
ppp-hsh:
modified to work with 2 upstream interfaces (for ex., one - for Internet and one - for local traffic-exchange point or LAN), now incoming traffic is sorted by iptables and then classified by fwmarks (mark 1 - high-priority, mark 2 - IX traffic); outgoing traffic is redirected to IFB (if there is no need of speed differentiation) or shaped on 2 outgoing interfaces separately.
libevent:
upgraded to latest stable upstream version (1.1a -> 1.4.14b) for development of nfs server code (libevent is currently only used by tor package)
