Hello,
Hello,
I'm happy to announce ipset 2.4. The new release contains some bugfixes,
a compatibility fix for kernels >= 2.6.27 and three new set types:

From the ChangeLog:
# element separator token changed to ',' in anticipating IPv6 addresses,
old separator tokens are still supported
# cat aqq
-N aqq macipmap --from 1.2.3.1 --to 1.2.3.10
-A aqq 1.2.3.10,11:22:33:44:55:66

# cat aqq|ipset -R
Warning: please replace old separator character ':22:33:44:55:66.1' with ','.
Next release won't support it.
OK, so what we are deprecating here? The recently introduced '%' separator
or also the ':' mac address separator? If both, which seems strange to me
as "11,22,33,44,55,66" mac address notation is quite ugly and IMHO
unnecessary even for IPv6, then there seems to be some inconsistency here
as "ipset -S" outputs data in soon unsupport format:
# ipset -S aqq
# Generated by ipset 2.4 on Tue Oct 21 22:44:27 2008
-N aqq macipmap --from 1.2.3.1 --to 1.2.3.10
-A aqq 1.2.3.10,11:22:33:44:55:66
COMMIT
