NuFW’s 1.1 branch now started

Work on the development banch (1.1) of NuFW has now started. To start with, current work aims at supporting the new NFQUEUE Netfilter interface, which should be available in the official Linux kernel from version 2.6.14 on. This extension will allow using other tools (like Snort) together with NuFW, while this is not possible when using Netfilter’s QUEUE target, which is mutually exclusive.

The NuFW team is working together with Netfilter’s team on defining NFQUEUE’s API.
