v1.6.0-rc.4

[gustavo-iniguez-goya]

NOTE: this version is still WIP, so be aware that it may contain bugs. If you install it, we would greatly appreciate it if you could report any issues you encounter to help us improve the software. Your feedback is invaluable !

What's new

• Added initial support for ICMP and SCTP (Ping do not display a OpenSnitch notification #714) (Note: We still need to add it to eBPF).
• Added the ability to manage nodes individually, including options to export/import rules, stop/start daemon and delete a node.
• Added options to export / import rules (german translation update #326 [Feature Request] Importing of exporteted csv rules #746)
• Added options to copy rules to the clipboard.

What's Changed

Many GUI improvements:

• Now the views are only refreshed when the scrollbar is at the top or bottom of the view, or while scrolling up/down.

• Rows selection is preserved when scrolling/refreshing the views, making it easier to analyze logs (somehow restoring the old good behaviour added by themighty1 that we lost some time ago).

• CTRL-C now copies all the rows (with filters applied) if they're selected with CTRL+A.

• All columns of the Events view are clickable.

• daemon/Makefile: improvements to make distro packaging easier by @craftyguy in daemon/Makefile: improvements to make distro packaging easier #780

Bug fixes

• nftables:
  • Fixed adding interception rules on new and old kernels ( ced9a24 , d31c4e8, Opensnitch log has failed netlink entries every 15 seconds (like #688) #781)
• GUI: mostly fixes related to firewall dialogs and nodes. Also fixed some regressions.

New Contributors

• @craftyguy made their first contribution in daemon/Makefile: improvements to make distro packaging easier #780

Special thanks

To all of you who have reported bugs.
