In the recent series of updates on IPFire Location, we are bringing you an exciting new feature today: Query our location database using DNS!

The IPFire Location database comes with a small and lightweight library that we call ''libloc''. It is written in C and implements the core functionality of IPFire Location. But what if you want to use it in another piece of software? We already have bindings for Python and Perl allowing the database being integrated seamlessly into applications written in those. And finally, another important addition is here: Lua!

I am happy to announce that we finally have a new release of IPFire: IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 185. It comes with a brand new IPFire IPS based on Suricata 7, a number of bug fixes across the distribution and a good amount of package updates.

After launching IPFire Location, we have gradually been making changes to the way how to aggregate and process our database sources. In fact, we have been adding more sources like Geofeeds that have become hugely popular. With that much data, how are we making sure the database doesn't explode?

This update is another testing version for IPFire: It comes with the brand release of the IPFire IPS, a number of bug fixes across the entire system and a good amount of package updates. Test it while it's still hot!
