 Fail2Ban: Changelog
 ===================
 
-Incompatibility list (compared to v.0.9):
+ver. 0.11.1 (2020/01/11) - this-is-the-way
 -----------
 
-* Filter (or `failregex`) internal capture-groups:
+### Compatibility:
+* to v.0.10:
+  - 0.11 is totally compatible to 0.10 (configuration- and API-related stuff), but the database
+    got some new tables and fields (auto-converted during the first start), so once updated to 0.11, you
+    have to remove the database /var/lib/fail2ban/fail2ban.sqlite3 (or its different to 0.10 schema)
+    if you would need to downgrade to 0.10 for some reason.
+* to v.0.9:
+  - Filter (or `failregex`) internal capture-groups:
+
+    * If you've your own `failregex` or custom filters using conditional match `(?P=host)`, you should
+      rewrite the regex like in example below resp. using `(?:(?P=ip4)|(?P=ip6)` instead of `(?P=host)`
+      (or `(?:(?P=ip4)|(?P=ip6)|(?P=dns))` corresponding your `usedns` and `raw` settings).
+
+      Of course you can always define your own capture-group (like below `_cond_ip_`) to do this.
+      ```
+      testln="1500000000 failure from 192.0.2.1: bad host 192.0.2.1"
+      fail2ban-regex "$testln" "^\s*failure from (?P<_cond_ip_><HOST>): bad host (?P=_cond_ip_)$"
+      ```
+    * New internal groups (currently reserved for internal usage):
+      `ip4`, `ip6`, `dns`, `fid`, `fport`, additionally `user` and another captures in lower case if
+      mapping from tag `<F-*>` used in failregex (e. g. `user` by `<F-USER>`).

+  - v.0.10 and 0.11 use more precise date template handling, that can be theoretically incompatible to some
+    user configurations resp. `datepattern`.
 
-* v.0.10 uses more precise date template handling, that can be theoretically incompatible to some

-* Since v0.10 fail2ban supports the matching of the IPv6 addresses, but not all ban actions are
-  IPv6-capable now.
+### Fixes
+* purge database will be executed now (within observer).
+* restoring currently banned ip after service restart fixed 
+  (now < timeofban + bantime), ignore old log failures (already banned)
+* upgrade database: update new created table `bips` with entries from table `bans` (allows restore
+  current bans after upgrade from version <= 0.10)
+
+### New Features
+* Increment ban time (+ observer) functionality introduced.
+* Database functionality extended with bad ips.
+* New tags (usable in actions):
+  - `<bancount>` - ban count of this offender if known as bad (started by 1 for unknown)
+  - `<bantime>` - current ban-time of the ticket (prolongation can be retarded up to 10 sec.)
+* Introduced new action command `actionprolong` to prolong ban-time (e. g. set new timeout if expected);
+  Several actions (like ipset, etc.) rewritten using net logic with `actionprolong`.
+  Note: because ban-time is dynamic, it was removed from jail.conf as timeout argument (check jail.local).
+
+### Enhancements
+* algorithm of restore current bans after restart changed: update the restored ban-time (and therefore 
+  end of ban) of the ticket with ban-time of jail (as maximum), for all tickets with ban-time greater
+  (or persistent); not affected if ban-time of the jail is unchanged between stop/start.
+* added new setup-option `--without-tests` to skip building and installing of tests files (gh-2287).
+* added new command `fail2ban-client get <JAIL> banip ?sep-char|--with-time?` to get the banned ip addresses (gh-1916).
+
+
+ver. 0.10.5 (2020/01/10) - deserve-more-respect-a-jedis-weapon-must
+-----------
+
+Yes, Hrrrm...
+
+### Fixes
+* [compatibility] systemd backend: default flags changed to SYSTEM_ONLY(4), fixed in gh-2444 in order to ignore
+  user session files per default, so could prevent "Too many open files" errors on a lot of user sessions (see gh-2392)
+* [grave] fixed parsing of multi-line filters (`maxlines` > 1) together with systemd backend,
+  now systemd-filter replaces newlines in message from systemd journal with `\n` (otherwise 
+  multi-line parsing may be broken, because removal of matched string from multi-line buffer window
+  is confused by such extra new-lines, so they are retained and got matched on every followed 
+  message, see gh-2431)
+* [stability] prevent race condition - no unban if the bans occur continuously (gh-2410);
+  now an unban-check will happen not later than 10 tickets get banned regardless there are
+  still active bans available (precedence of ban over unban-check is 10 now)
+* fixed read of included config-files (`.local` overwrites options of `.conf` for config-files 
+  included with before/after)
+* `action.d/abuseipdb.conf`: switched to use AbuseIPDB API v2 (gh-2302)
+* `action.d/badips.py`: fixed start of banaction on demand (which may be IP-family related), gh-2390
+* `action.d/helpers-common.conf`: rewritten grep arguments, now options `-wF` used to match only
+  whole words and fixed string (not as pattern), gh-2298
+* `filter.d/apache-auth.conf`:
+  - ignore errors from mod_evasive in `normal` mode (mode-controlled now) (gh-2548);
+  - extended with option `mode` - `normal` (default) and `aggressive`
+* `filter.d/sshd.conf`:
+  - matches `Bad protocol version identification` in `ddos` and `aggressive` modes (gh-2404).
+  - captures `Disconnecting ...: Change of username or service not allowed` (gh-2239, gh-2279)
+  - captures `Disconnected from ... [preauth]`, preauth phase only, different handling by `extra`
+    (with supplied user only) and `ddos`/`aggressive` mode (gh-2115, gh-2239, gh-2279)
+* `filter.d/mysqld-auth.conf`: 
+  - MYSQL 8.0.13 compatibility (log-error-verbosity = 3), log-format contains few additional words
+    enclosed in brackets after "[Note]" (gh-2314)
+* `filter.d/sendmail-reject.conf`:
+  - `mode=extra` now captures port IDs of `TLSMTA` and `MSA` (defaults for ports 465 and 587 on some distros)
+* `files/fail2ban.service.in`: fixed systemd-unit template - missing nftables dependency (gh-2313)
+* several `action.d/mail*`: fixed usage with multiple log files (ultimate fix for gh-976, gh-2341)
+* `filter.d/sendmail-reject.conf`: fixed journal usage for some systems (e. g. CentOS): if only identifier 
+  set to `sm-mta` (no unit `sendmail`) for some messages (gh-2385)
+* `filter.d/asterisk.conf`: asterisk can log additional timestamp if logs into systemd-journal
+  (regex extended with optional part matching this, gh-2383)
+* `filter.d/postfix.conf`:
+    - regexp's accept variable suffix code in status of postfix for precise messages (gh-2442)
+    - extended with new postfix filter mode `errors` to match "too many errors" (gh-2439),
+      also included within modes `normal`, `more` (`extra` and `aggressive`), since postfix
+      parameter `smtpd_hard_error_limit` is default 20 (additionally consider `maxretry`)
+* `filter.d/named-refused.conf`:
+    - support BIND 9.11.0 log format (includes an additional field @0xXXX..., gh-2406);
+    - `prefregex` extended, more selective now (denied/NOTAUTH suffix moved from failregex, so no catch-all there anymore)
+* `filter.d/sendmail-auth.conf`, `filter.d/sendmail-reject.conf` :
+  - ID in prefix can be longer as 14 characters (gh-2563);
+* all filters would accept square brackets around IPv4 addresses also (e. g. monit-filter, gh-2494)
+* avoids unhandled exception during flush (gh-2588)
+* fixes pass2allow-ftp jail - due to inverted handling, action should prohibit access per default for any IP,
+  therefore reset start on demand parameter for this action (it will be started immediately by repair);
+* auto-detection of IPv6 subsystem availability (important for not on-demand actions or jails, like pass2allow);
+
+### New Features
+* new replacement tags for failregex to match subnets in form of IP-addresses with CIDR mask (gh-2559):
+  - `<CIDR>` - helper regex to match CIDR (simple integer form of net-mask);
+  - `<SUBNET>` - regex to match sub-net adresses (in form of IP/CIDR, also single IP is matched, so part /CIDR is optional);
+* grouped tags (`<ADDR>`, `<HOST>`, `<SUBNET>`) recognize IP addresses enclosed in square brackets
+* new failregex-flag tag `<F-MLFGAINED>` for failregex, signaled that the access to service was gained
+  (ATM used similar to tag `<F-NOFAIL>`, but it does not add the log-line to matches, gh-2279)
+* filters: introduced new configuration parameter `logtype` (default `file` for file-backends, and 
+  `journal` for journal-backends, gh-2387); can be also set to `rfc5424` to force filters (which include common.conf)
+  to use RFC 5424 conform prefix-line per default (gh-2467);
+* for better performance and safety the option `logtype` can be also used to
+  select short prefix-line for file-backends too for all filters using `__prefix_line` (`common.conf`),
+  if message logged only with `hostname svc[nnnn]` prefix (often the case on several systems):
+```ini
+[jail]
+backend = auto
+filter = flt[logtype=short]
+```
+* `filter.d/common.conf`: differentiate `__prefix_line` for file/journal logtype's (speedup and fix parsing
+  of systemd-journal);
+* `filter.d/traefik-auth.conf`: used to ban hosts, that were failed through traefik
+* `filter.d/znc-adminlog.conf`: new filter for ZNC (IRC bouncer); requires the adminlog module to be loaded
+
+### Enhancements
+* introduced new options: `dbmaxmatches` (fail2ban.conf) and `maxmatches` (jail.conf) to contol
+  how many matches per ticket fail2ban can hold in memory and store in database (gh-2402, gh-2118);
+* fail2ban.conf: introduced new section `[Thread]` and option `stacksize` to configure default size
+  of the stack for threads running in fail2ban (gh-2356), it could be set in `fail2ban.local` to
+  avoid runtime error "can't start new thread" (see gh-969);
+* jail-reader extended (amend to gh-1622): actions support multi-line options now (interpolations
+  containing new-line);
+* fail2ban-client: extended to ban/unban multiple tickets (see gh-2351, gh-2349);
+  Syntax:
+  - `fail2ban-client set <jain> banip <ip1> ... <ipN>`
+  - `fail2ban-client set <jain> unbanip [--report-absent] <ip1> ... <ipN>`
+* fail2ban-client: extended with new feature which allows to inform fail2ban about single or multiple
+  attempts (failure) for IP (resp. failure-ID), see gh-2351;
+  Syntax:
+  - `fail2ban-client set <jail> attempt <ip> [<failure-message1> ... <failure-messageN>]`
+* `action.d/nftables.conf`:
+  - isolate fail2ban rules into a dedicated table and chain (gh-2254)
+  - `nftables-allports` supports multiple protocols in single rule now
+  - combined nftables actions to single action `nftables`:
+    * `nftables-common` is removed (replaced with single action `nftables` now)
+    * `nftables-allports` is obsolete, superseded by `nftables[type=allports]`
+    * `nftables-multiport` is obsolete, superseded by `nftables[type=multiport]`
+  - allowed multiple protocols in `nftables[type=multiport]` action (single set with multiple rules
+    in chain), following configuration in jail would replace 3 separate actions, see
+    https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/pull/2254#issuecomment-534684675
+* `action.d/badips.py`: option `loglevel` extended with level of summary message,
+  following example configuration logging summary with NOTICE and rest with DEBUG log-levels:
+  `action = badips.py[loglevel="debug, notice"]`
+* samplestestcase.py (testSampleRegexsFactory) extended:
+  - allow coverage of journal logtype;
+  - new option `fileOptions` to set common filter/test options for whole test-file;
+* large enhancement: auto-reban, improved invariant check and conditional operations (gh-2588):
+  - improves invariant check and repair (avoid unhandled exception, consider family on conditional operations, etc),
+    prepared for bulk re-ban in repair case (if bulk-ban becomes implemented);
+  - automatic reban (repeat banning action) after repair/restore sane environment, if already logged ticket causes
+    new failures (via new action operation `actionreban` or `actionban` if still not defined in action);
+  * introduces banning epoch for actions and tickets (to distinguish or recognize removed set of the tickets);
+  * invariant check avoids repair by unban/stop (unless parameter `actionrepair_on_unban` set to `true`);
+  * better handling for all conditional operations (distinguish families for certain operations like 
+    repair/flush/stop, prepared for other families, e. g. if different handling for subnets expected, etc);
+  * partially implements gh-980 (more breakdown safe handling);
+  * closes gh-1680 (better as large-scale banning implementation with on-demand reban by failure, 
+    at least unless a bulk-ban gets implemented);
+* fail2ban-regex - several enhancements and fixes:
+  - improved usage output (don't put a long help if an error occurs);
+  - new option `--no-check-all` to avoid check of all regex's (first matched only);
+  - new option `-o`, `--out` to set token only provided in output (disables check-all and outputs only expected data).
+
+
+ver. 0.10.4 (2018/10/04) - ten-four-on-due-date-ten-four
+-----------
+
+### Fixes
+* `filter.d/dovecot.conf`: 
+  - failregex enhancement to catch sql password mismatch errors (gh-2153);
+  - disconnected with "proxy dest auth failed" (gh-2184);
+* `filter.d/freeswitch.conf`:
+  - provide compatibility for log-format from gh-2193:
+    * extended with new default date-pattern `^(?:%%Y-)?%%m-%%d[ T]%%H:%%M:%%S(?:\.%%f)?` to cover
+      `YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM::SS.ms` as well as `mm-dd HH:MM::SS.ms` (so year is optional);
+    * more optional arguments in log-line (so accept [WARN] as well as [WARNING] and optional [SOFIA] hereafter);
+  - extended with mode parameter, allows to avoid matching of messages like `auth challenge (REGISTER)`
+    (see gh-2163) (currently `extra` as default to be backwards-compatible), see comments in filter
+    how to set it to mode `normal`.
+* `filter.d/domino-smtp.conf`:
+  - recognizes failures logged using another format (something like session-id, IP enclosed in square brackets);
+  - failregex extended to catch connections rejected for policy reasons (gh-2228);
+* `action.d/hostsdeny.conf`: fix parameter in config (dynamic parameters stating with '_' are protected 
+  and don't allowed in command-actions), see gh-2114;
+* decoding stability fix by wrong encoded characters like utf-8 surrogate pairs, etc (gh-2171):
+  - fail2ban running in the preferred encoding now (as default encoding also within python 2.x), mostly
+    `UTF-8` in opposite to `ascii` previously, so minimizes influence of implicit conversions errors;
+  - actions: avoid possible conversion errors on wrong-chars by replace tags;
+  - database: improve adapter/converter handlers working on invalid characters in sense of json and/or sqlite-database;
+    additionally both are exception-safe now, so avoid possible locking of database (closes gh-2137);
+  - logging in fail2ban is process-wide exception-safe now.
+* repaired start-time of initial seek to time (as well as other log-parsing related data), 
+  if parameter `logpath` specified before `findtime`, `backend`, `datepattern`, etc (gh-2173)
+* systemd: fixed type error on option `journalflags`: an integer is required (gh-2125);
+
+### New Features
+* new option `ignorecache` to improve performance of ignore failure check (using caching of `ignoreip`, 
+  `ignoreself` and `ignorecommand`), see `man jail.conf` for syntax-example;
+* `ignorecommand` extended to use actions-similar replacement (capable to interpolate 
+  all possible tags like `<ip-host>`, `<family>`, `<fid>`, `F-USER` etc.)
+
+### Enhancements
+* `filter.d/dovecot.conf`: extended with tags F-USER (and alternatives) to collect user-logins (gh-2168)
+* since v.0.10.4, fail2ban-client, fail2ban-server and fail2ban-regex will return version without logo info,
+  additionally option `-V` can be used to get version in normalized machine-readable short format.
+
+
+ver. 0.10.3 (2018/04/04) - the-time-is-always-right-to-do-what-is-right
+-----------
+
+### ver. 0.10.3.1:
+* fixed JSON serialization for the set-object within dump into database (gh-2103).
+
+### Fixes
+* `filter.d/asterisk.conf`: fixed failregex prefix by log over remote syslog server (gh-2060);
+* `filter.d/exim.conf`: failregex extended - SMTP call dropped: too many syntax or protocol errors (gh-2048);
+* `filter.d/recidive.conf`: fixed if logging into systemd-journal (SYSLOG) with daemon name in prefix, gh-2069;
+* `filter.d/sendmail-auth.conf`, `filter.d/sendmail-reject.conf` :
+  - fixed failregex, sendmail uses prefix 'IPv6:' logging of IPv6 addresses (gh-2064);
+* `filter.d/sshd.conf`:
+  - failregex got an optional space in order to match new log-format (see gh-2061);
+  - fixed ddos-mode regex to match refactored message (some versions can contain port now, see gh-2062);
+  - fixed root login refused regex (optional port before preauth, gh-2080);
+  - avoid banning of legitimate users when pam_unix used in combination with other password method, so
+    bypass pam_unix failures if accepted available for this user gh-2070;
+  - amend to gh-1263 with better handling of multiple attempts (failures for different user-names recognized immediatelly);
+  - mode `ddos` (and `aggressive`) extended to catch `Connection closed by ... [preauth]`, so in DDOS mode
+    it counts failure on closing connection within preauth-stage (gh-2085);
+* `action.d/abuseipdb.conf`: fixed curl cypher errors and comment quote-issue (gh-2044, gh-2101);
+* `action.d/badips.py`: implicit convert IPAddr to str, solves an issue "expected string, IPAddr found" (gh-2059);
+* `action.d/hostsdeny.conf`: fixed IPv6 syntax (enclosed in square brackets, gh-2066);
+* (Free)BSD ipfw actionban fixed to allow same rule added several times (gh-2054);
+
+### New Features
+* several stability and performance optimizations, more effective filter parsing, etc;
+* stable runnable within python versions 3.6 (as well as within 3.7-dev);
+
+### Enhancements
+* `filter.d/apache-auth.conf`: detection of Apache SNI errors resp. misredirect attempts (gh-2017, gh-2097);
+* `filter.d/apache-noscript.conf`: extend failregex to match "Primary script unknown", e. g. from php-fpm (gh-2073);
+* date-detector extended with long epoch (`LEPOCH`) to parse milliseconds/microseconds posix-dates (gh-2029);
+* possibility to specify own regex-pattern to match epoch date-time, e. g. `^\[{EPOCH}\]` or `^\[{LEPOCH}\]` (gh-2038);
+  the epoch-pattern similar to `{DATE}` patterns does the capture and cuts out the match of whole pattern from the log-line,
+  e. g. date-pattern `^\[{LEPOCH}\]\s+:` will match and cut out `[1516469849551000] :` from begin of the log-line.
+* badips.py now uses https instead of plain http when requesting badips.com (gh-2057);
+* add support for "any" badips.py bancategory, to be able to retrieve IPs from all categories with a desired score (gh-2056);
+* Introduced new parameter `padding` for logging within fail2ban-server (default on, excepting SYSLOG):
+  Usage `logtarget = target[padding=on|off]`

-On Debian systems py helpers first do python setup.py build
-so conversion should happen then.  Manual invocation of

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+usage: fail2ban\-python [option] ... [\-c cmd | \fB\-m\fR mod | file | \fB\-]\fR [arg] ...
+Options and arguments (and corresponding environment variables):
+\fB\-B\fR     : don't write .py[co] files on import; also PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=x
+\fB\-c\fR cmd : program passed in as string (terminates option list)
+\fB\-d\fR     : debug output from parser; also PYTHONDEBUG=x
+\fB\-E\fR     : ignore PYTHON* environment variables (such as PYTHONPATH)
+\fB\-h\fR     : print this help message and exit (also \fB\-\-help\fR)
+\fB\-i\fR     : inspect interactively after running script; forces a prompt even
+.IP
+if stdin does not appear to be a terminal; also PYTHONINSPECT=x
+.PP
+\fB\-m\fR mod : run library module as a script (terminates option list)
+\fB\-O\fR     : optimize generated bytecode slightly; also PYTHONOPTIMIZE=x
+\fB\-OO\fR    : remove doc\-strings in addition to the \fB\-O\fR optimizations
+\fB\-R\fR     : use a pseudo\-random salt to make hash() values of various types be
+.IP
+unpredictable between separate invocations of the interpreter, as
+a defense against denial\-of\-service attacks
+.PP
+\fB\-Q\fR arg : division options: \fB\-Qold\fR (default), \fB\-Qwarn\fR, \fB\-Qwarnall\fR, \fB\-Qnew\fR
+\fB\-s\fR     : don't add user site directory to sys.path; also PYTHONNOUSERSITE
+\fB\-S\fR     : don't imply 'import site' on initialization
+\fB\-t\fR     : issue warnings about inconsistent tab usage (\fB\-tt\fR: issue errors)
+\fB\-u\fR     : unbuffered binary stdout and stderr; also PYTHONUNBUFFERED=x
+.IP
+see man page for details on internal buffering relating to '\-u'
+.PP
+\fB\-v\fR     : verbose (trace import statements); also PYTHONVERBOSE=x
+.IP
+can be supplied multiple times to increase verbosity
+.PP
+\fB\-V\fR     : print the Python version number and exit (also \fB\-\-version\fR)
+\fB\-W\fR arg : warning control; arg is action:message:category:module:lineno
+.IP
+also PYTHONWARNINGS=arg
+.PP
+\fB\-x\fR     : skip first line of source, allowing use of non\-Unix forms of #!cmd
+\fB\-3\fR     : warn about Python 3.x incompatibilities that 2to3 cannot trivially fix
+file   : program read from script file
+\-      : program read from stdin (default; interactive mode if a tty)
+arg ...: arguments passed to program in sys.argv[1:]
+.PP
+Other environment variables:
+PYTHONSTARTUP: file executed on interactive startup (no default)
+PYTHONPATH   : ':'\-separated list of directories prefixed to the
+.TP
+default module search path.
+The result is sys.path.
+.PP
+PYTHONHOME   : alternate <prefix> directory (or <prefix>:<exec_prefix>).
+.IP
+The default module search path uses <prefix>/pythonX.X.
+.PP
+PYTHONCASEOK : ignore case in 'import' statements (Windows).
+PYTHONIOENCODING: Encoding[:errors] used for stdin/stdout/stderr.
+PYTHONHASHSEED: if this variable is set to 'random', the effect is the same
+.IP
+as specifying the \fB\-R\fR option: a random value is used to seed the hashes of
+str, bytes and datetime objects.  It can also be set to an integer
+in the range [0,4294967295] to get hash values with a predictable seed.

If you are using DNS here you could be blocking the wrong IPs due to the asymmetric nature of reverse DNS (that the application used to write the domain name to log) compared to forward DNS that fail2ban uses to resolve this back to an IP (but not necessarily the same one). Ideally you should configure your applications to log a real IP.
