Xtables-addons is a package which provides some extra plugins for iptables. It obsoletes the old patch-o-matic repository. Instead of patching the kernel source, extensions are built as modules and thus allow extending kernels without recompilation.

This release fixes an infinite loop in xt_ipv4options, fixes a WARN_ON in xt_ECHO, and adds checksumming and IPv6 thereto. ipset 6.10 is provided with a TCP port name and ICMP4/6 type/code parser fix.
The IPv6 trigger for xt_SYSRQ was non-functional and has been fixed. xt_SYSRQ now includes the host address in the digest for improved security. Additionally, a kernel oops was fixed when xt_TARPIT was used in "reset" mode.
