About:
Fail2ban monitors log files and temporarily or persistently bans
failure-prone addresses by updating existing firewall rules. The software
allows easy specification of different actions to be taken such as to ban
an IP address using iptables or hostsdeny rules, or simply to send a
notification email. It supports many services, and configuration can be
easily extended for monitoring any other ASCII file. All filters and
actions are given in the configuration files, thus fail2ban can be adopted
to be used with a variety of files and firewalls.

Changes:
failtickets are processed as long as failmanager is not empty. The
"pam-generic" filter and more configuration fixes were added. The PID file
while started in daemon mode was fixed. The "fail2ban-client get jail
logpath" was fixed. The gssftpd filter was added. The "Day/Month/Year
Hour:Minute:Second" date template was added. ignoreregex processing was
fixed in fail2ban-client. The ISO 8601 date/time format was added. Some
logging levels and messages were added and changed. Poll is used instead of
select in asyncore.loop. This should solve the "Unknown error 514".
