| New DansGuardian maintainer and 2.12.0.0 release!
| Tue 23 Aug 2011
|
You wait for DG news for years and then two pieces of big news come out at the same time!
New Maintainer
DansGuardian source code is now going to be maintained by Aecio F. Neto. You can email him at maintainer at the DansGuardian domain name. Aecio is no stranger to DG and has been a contributor to the source code and the mailing list since about 2003. He has maintained the DG fork DGAV.
This is great news because it will mean patches, fixes, submissions, etc, etc will get the attention they deserve rather than be sat in my inbox with no time (or to be honest, desire) to do so.
Because I run the website I will still be involved in the upload of news and releases, but all other aspects will be handled by Aecio. You should continue to use the mailing list for support rather than emailing people direct.
New Release
DansGuardian 2.12.0.0 (alpha) is now released. This version contains all the code that I, Smoothwall and others have contributed since version 2.10.x.x, but not actually released. The website and source code has been tidied a little to reflect the changes. The change log is now within the tarball or can be viewed in SVN on Source Forge.
| New source code maintainer (integration manager) required now
| Wed 29 Jun 2011
|
I had expected that by now I or a Smoothwall developer would have had time
to take all the recently submitted patches, plus the bugs I and others have
fixed but not released yet plus the commercial changes Smoothwall made to
DG2 as used in the Smoothwall Guardian product and merge them together and
make a new release with a bunch of nice new features and bug fixes. However
it did not work out that way. So, rather than delay even further, I am now
looking for someone to have write access to the repository and to do the job
of integration manager. Which means they will merge in submitted changes
(provided they are good enough quality) and make changes of their own.
Your first job will be agreeing a repository, an integration process, a release process and merging
the pile of patches I have pending and making a new release.
Applications to my Smoothwall email address which is daniel.barron at
Smoothwall's .net domain please.
| Update on upcoming changes for DansGuardian
| Mon 14 Mar 2011
|
Smoothwall is taking most of my time these days so I've let the
communication slip a bit. A lot.
This year I am going to be making some changes for the better for DG.
1. I've been persuaded by the marketing department at Smoothwall that the DG
website needs a lick of paint and some proper management and a content
management system. The form of this change is not yet decided so I'll keep
you posted as the plan matures. Package maintainers: the URLs to download
are likely to change but I will give plenty of notice before that happens.
2. Submissions for DG such as bug fixes or feature additions take FAR TOO
LONG to get added to DG, if ever. The reason is that it gets done by a
Smoothwall developer when there is time, which is never. (I delegate all DG
development and have done for a long time now). So instead I'd like to make
DG more open and take on an integration manager from the DG users community.
They would have read/write on the revision control repository (which we may
change to git instead of svn) and eventually ability to make new releases.
They will be responsible for maintaining quality and vetting submissions.
Sorry this is an unpaid job. One of the distribution package maintainers
would be a likely candidate or perhaps one of the other contributors. They
will also handle issues such as copyright and licensing; DG2 is GPLv2 so
they need to check the status of submissions to ensure no license clashes.
And all the other usual integration manage jobs. This is really good
news! I wish I had thought of it sooner. Do not volunteer - yet. I will
announce when I am ready to find one later this year.
3. There is a huge backlog of features/bug fixes/etc which have been
submitted by people including Smoothwall developers which has not made it to
release. We will be getting round to that before we hand over to an
integration manager from the DG users community.
The swirling rumours of a DG3 are I am afraid wishful thinking at this
point. DG3 is no more. Despite talking about it for years and even a
closed-source alpha existing. DG2 will be continued to have features and
bug fixes for the foreseeable future. All the development work on on DG3
(which was 100% done by Smoothwall employed developers) has been moved in to
a different Smoothwall project as part of their commercial product.
Guardian will be taking separate commercial and Open Source paths.
I am sorry I am unable to regularly read the DG mailing list. I simply don't have the
time.
Finally, I.d like to thank you all for your on-going support and
submissions.

| Advert Filtering Video Redux
| Tue 5 Nov 2009

I was sent this YouTube Guardian advert filtering video also and I liked it so here it is. Not only are adverts removed in the page but also the 1 min of adverts video are removed and it skips straight to the TV one wants to watch!
| Advert Filtering Video

I was sent this Guardian advert filtering video and I liked it so here it is. What it shows is a web page full of adverts then it fades to the same page when using Guardian advert filtering. It then rewinds and shows this again once more.
