Today we are going to release Core 42 which is a bugfix release and we strongly recommend to install this as soon as possible.

Today on the third birthday of IPFire 2 we are going to release Core 41. This core update has important security fixes at glibc and bzip2.

This is the day we are going to release Core 40 which includes the following changes:
Including...

Since the last weekend, the services of the IPFire project are running on a bunch of new servers. Because of the wide distribution and the new hardware the services are running on, we get a lot more performance out of it what will be pleasant for the community as well.
This is also a place where we want to thank "Hetzner":http://www.hetzner.de/ because this won't be possible without their contribution and we are looking forward to provide more services in the next time.

Today we are going to release Core 39.
The most significant changes are the fixed download of snort rules and the update of the ppp daemon to version 2.4.5.
Despite of that it comes with the following changes:

From today it will be possible to update old IPFire systems via the package manager to the brand new version IPFire 2.7.
We want to point out again that the update to StrongSwan comes with "mandatory changes":http://wiki.ipfire.org/en/configuration/services/ipsec_update for existing IPSec tunnels with PSK.

It is time - today we are going to release IPFire 2.7. At first we will only release the ISO files, the update is not yet available via pakfire.
The reason for this is the change of the IPSec software from OpenSwan to StrongSwan and the mandatory changes in the configuration of net2net connections. The update on pakfire will be released next friday 2010-07-09, so there is enough time to change the IPSec tunnels, more information about this is avaiable at the "Wiki":http://wiki.ipfire.org/en/configuration/services/ipsec_update.
There are about 400 changes in the new IPFire Version. All commits can be found at the "GIT (changelog)":http://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=log;h=refs/heads/core38.
Changes among others are:

Probably this will be the last release candidate, IPFire 2.7 RC5 is avaiable.
This version is only suitable for testing and should not be used in productive environments.
