Release Notes: Changed to use the Jekins hash function in the IPVS connection hash against a possible hash attack. The slow timer implementation has been removed. old_iph is pointed to the right address after the skb headroom is reallocated in the IPVS tunneling transmitter. Missing stats locking while updating stats in the rate estimation timer has been added. The code has been tidied up.

Release Notes: Additional hash functions were included for IPVS connection entries to prevent hash attacks. The maximum value of the connection threshold was changed from 65535 to INT_MAX (2147483647), the default syncid was changed from 255 to 0, and ip_vs_sync.c was updated for Linux kernel 2.5.74. Some code was also tidied up.

Release Notes: The slow timer indexes are now initialized correctly. It is now possible to start the master and backup sync daemons simultaneously, and SyncID support was added for filtering incoming sync messages. The method for retrieving information about the daemons was changed, and the 2.5.70 Linux kernel is now supported.

Release Notes: This release adds the Shortest Expected Delay and the Never Queue scheduling modules. It uses Linux kernel 2.5.69, and has an ipvsadm man page update.

Release Notes: ipvsadm has been updated to version 1.23 so that it can display the counter of persistent connections by "ipvsadm -Ln --persistent-conn". A counter of persistent connections per real server has been added. The overhead ratio of active/inactive connections has been changed from 50 to 256 in the least connection scheduler. The unnecessary Docdir setting in ipvsadm.spec.in has been removed.

Release Notes: This version sets the maximum length of connection sync message according to the MTU of specified multicast interface, allows the sysctl variable sync_threshold to have two values, and updates the Makefile for the Linux kernel 2.5.52.

Release Notes: Updating of inc->usecnt in ip_vs_app_inc_put was corrected, and a problem where do_ip_vs_get_ctl() returned without releasing __ip_vs_mutex was fixed. The 2.5.49 is now supported. ipvsadm updates were made, and null pointer dereferencing when the specified scheduler is not found (ip_vs_add_service) was fixed. A standalone sltimer_list struct for the slow timer in IPVS was also added.

Release Notes: The use_dst sysctl variable, which was used for testing purposes, was removed. This release has been marked as stable.

Release Notes: Connection synchronization was changed to use network order. Some code in slow timer was tidied. The nat_icmp_send sysctl variable and the functionality of the sync connection controller were added. A minor bug in the lblcr scheduler was fixed.

Release Notes: Added the feature of listing a virtual service, but only if it is selected. Code has been tidied up.
