Inferno Nettverk A/S is pleased to announce a new release of 
Barefoot - a free port-bouncer for UNIX.

Barefoot is developed by Inferno Nettverk A/S, a UNIX consulting company
located in Oslo Research Park, Norway.

Inferno Nettverk specializes in services related to software development
and porting on UNIX/Linux and embedded/real-time platforms.

Please see http://www.inet.no/english/services.html for more information
about our services.

Barefoot is free software, available under a BSD-like license.

Inferno Nettverk also provides commercial services related to Barefoot.
These services include 24/7 support via phone and email, customized
installations/tuning of Barefoot, development, porting and embedding.

In addition to standard port-bouncing/port-forwarding functionality,
Barefoot provides a fine-grained ACL-system, including support for PAM and
TCP wrappers, support for UDP-traffic, extensive logging and accounting
of network traffic, as well as the possibility of forwarding sessions
via an upstreams proxy server.

This release includes the following changes:
 o Three new modules are now available for the Barefoot server:
      - The Session module gives control over how many sessions different
        clients can create.
   
      - The Redirect modules gives control over what addresses and port 
        ranges the Barefoot server will use on behalf of the clients for
        outgoing connections.

      - The Bandwidth module gives control over how much bandwidth the
        Barefoot server will use on behalf of the clients.

   See the module page "http://www.inet.no/barefoot/module.html"
   for more information about modules.
   Note that modules need to be purchased separately.

 o SIGINFO loginformation extended to include information about current 
   buffering status and UDP latency.
 
 o Real-time scheduling priority settings and CPU affinity settings made
   available in barefootd.conf.

 o General API for setting socket options on TCP/UDP sockets used by Barefoot
   made available in barefootd.conf.

 o Non-IPv4 target addresses where not handled correctly by external.rotation.
