Двадцать восьмая версия открытой игры 0 A.D.

После года разработки представлен двадцать восьмой выпуск свободной игры 0 A.D. с реализацией стратегии реального времени в стиле игр серии "Age of Empires". Это первый выпуск, который сформирован без метки "Alpha" и помечен как "0 A.D. Release 28". Метка альфа-версии выставлялась, так как не все изначально задуманные возможности реализованы. При этом имеющаяся функциональность отточена и стабильна, и по качеству реализации 0 A.D. давно вышел из состояния альфа-версии.

Выпуск пакетного фильтра iptables 1.8.12

После полутора лет разработки опубликован выпуск классического инструментария для управления пакетным фильтром iptables 1.8.12, развитие которого последнее время сосредоточено на компонентах для сохранения обратной совместимости - iptables-nft и ebtables-nft, предоставляющих утилиты с тем же синтаксисом командной строки, как в iptables и ebtables, но транслирующих полученные правила в байткод nftables. Оригинальный набор программ iptables, включая ip6tables, arptables и ebtables, в 2018 году переведён в разряд устаревших и уже заменён на nftables в большинстве дистрибутивов.

Though inspired by Mac apps like Alfred and Raycast, it is far less capable than those. To […]
