Notes:

The Linux Port/Socket Pseudo ACLs patch allows an administrator to delegate privileges for some protected network resources to non-root users. The ACLs are generally used to run untrusted or insecure applications as an unprivileged process, thereby mitigating some undiscovered denial of service or root compromise. The ACLs cover protected ports, raw sockets, and packet sockets.

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.

If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!
