v1.0.0-rc5

This release improves connections interception accuracy, as well as ensure that our rules are not deleted (by mistake/etc...) while the daemon is running.

There has also been several important fixes in GUI, which makes it more robust and compatible with more environments (Linux Mint 19.x, Cinnamon, etc...). The deb package has also received some improvements, to make it more robust and user friendly .

IMPORTANT:
If you had a previous installation of the OpenSnitch UI, uninstall it. Otherwise you may have errors.
Look for it under /usr/local/lib/python*

v1.0.0-rc4

Fixed a UI crash on old distros, and a typo which also caused a crash.
Improve UI layout for several distros and window managers (Ubuntu/Mint, mate/kde/gnome-shell)

UI deb package tested and working well on:

• Ubuntu Mate >= 16.04
• Linux Mint >= 18
• Ubuntu Lite (KDE)
• Debian >= 9 (Mate, Cinnamon).

No icon on Unity WM, and it behaves really odd.

v1.0.0-rc3

Read the commits list for detailed information: https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch/commits/main

Changes:

• UI: display an alert when the user does not respond to a prompt dialog.
• UI: centralized configuration under ~/.config/opensnitch/settings.conf.
• UI: Fixed regex patterns.
• UI: Fixed Allow/Deny second-level domains (github.com, imgur.com ...).
• daemon: Do not panic if we can't parse a regex type rule.
• daemon: if debugfs is not present, parse /proc directly. This allows us to keep functioning on some environments (secure boot on, latest kernels with debugfs unmounted by default, etc).
• daemon: fixed and improved netlink connections querying.
• daemon: improved PIDs cache searching by prioritize PIDs with active connections.
• daemon: improved /proc PIDs searching, sorting by latest modified PIDs.

Note about the deb UI packages:
They're experimental, in the sense that we're trying to make them as much Debian compliant and backward compatible as we can, so expect changes between releases. You may need to remove and reinstall it. All in all it should work in most cases, if not, report it.

Installation:
sudo dpkg -i *opensnitch*deb; sudo apt -f install

Thanks:
@Ph0rk0z, @squalou and (...) for testing and reporting bugs. More than welcome!

v1.0.0-rc2

Small improvements to the UI.
Make it work on distros with old libnetfilter-queue.

Daemon deb package compatibility (maybe others as well, let us know!):

• Debian >= 8
• LinuxMint >= 18
• Ubuntu >= 16 (works also on 14.04, but it lacks upstart service file. And dpkg must be at least .1.17.x)

UI deb package compatibility (maybe others as well, let us know!):

• Debian >= 10
• Ubuntu >= 19.x

The reason for such low compatiblity is that mainly the python3-grpcio and python3-protobuf is not available in all distros. We'll remove these dependencies from the package soon, and install them via pip3

sudo dpkg -i opensnitch_1.0.0rc-2_amd64.deb python3-opensnitch-ui_1.0.0rc2-1_all.deb; sudo apt -f install
