| ## Log |
| ### Core Update 163 |
| - Ready to go, to be released shortly |
| - Most testing feedback was positive, no blockers left |
| - Michael updates the QoS documentation in the wiki, releases C163 afterwards |
| - `i*86` is _finally_ gone |
| ### Core Update 164 |
| - Lots of new features |
| - IPS multiple providers |
| - Pakfire CGI improvements from Leo et al. |
| - Squid 5 |
| - Drop traffic from/to hostile networks by default |
| - New kernel |
| - #12767 is still a blocker, [workaround available](https://patchwork.ipfire.org/project/ipfire/patch/3bbbc672-74d6-37b2-b122-aac537faa9ac@ipfire.org/) |
| ### Core Update 165 (and beyond?) |
| - Python 3.10 |
| - New toolchain |
| - Package updates |
| - Peter prepares update as usual in his [temporary personal branch](https://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/pmueller/ipfire-2.x.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/temp-c165-development) |
| - IPBlocklist add-on (got new maintainer, part of the core distribution)? |
| - Rob takes care of it |
| - Adolf helps him on the way to go, if necessary |
| ### Website of `xt_geoip` went down |
| - Michael asks Stefan if he is willing to work on `ipset` |
| - `ipset` would also make AS-based firewalling more easy to implement |
| ### Moar blocklists: Squidguard - no more available lists |
| - Shalla disappeared, MSED too, University of Toulouse is useless |
| - Existing setups remain operational, list quality will get lower over time |
| - Little lists are available for free |
| - DNS-based blocking does not improve anything |
| - Causes more technical trouble than it solves |
| - You need a blocking source ether way |
| - If license permits, we'll obtain the latest version of Shalla and serve it on our servers |
| - Long-term, we might start our own list... |
