Hi!

The Netfilter project presents libnetfilter_conntrack-0.9.0

libnetfilter_conntrack is a userspace library providing a programming
interface (API) to the in-kernel connection tracking state table. This
library requires a linux kernel >= 2.6.18.

This release includes two fixes and the infrastructure to generate API
documentation in doxygen format. ChangeLog is also attached for more
details.

You can download it from:

http://www.netfilter.org/projects/libnetfilter_conntrack/
ftp://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/libnetfilter_conntrack/

Pablo,
on behalf of the Netfilter Core Team.

Did you not like the doxygen filter that allows to use kdoc in the .c 
files?

I liked it indeed, actually I used it to transform the current doc to
doxygen. I decided to switch to doxygen for consistency with other
libnetfilter_* libraries.

P.S: I'll check your libnetfilter_conntrack patches tomorrow, thanks!

Hm that certainly wasn't the intended purpose of the filter :-D

It was to proliferate kdoc, because frankly, doxygen with all its
\param, \brief, clutters the actual text flow and starts to look as ugly
as a TeX/HTML document. I guess that is because the formatting codes
actually use plaintext rather than punctuation (just @ and %) only. 
kdoc is simple because it does not try to offer all possible
formatting capabilities.
