Summary     : Ban IPs that make too many password failures

Update Information:

Update to 0.8.8 (CVE-2012-5642 Bug #887914)

- Fixes:

 * Alan Jenkins

   * [8c38907] Removed 'POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT' from sshd filter to
 avoid

     banning due to misconfigured DNS. Close gh-64

 * Yaroslav Halchenko

   * [83109bc] IMPORTANT: escape the content of <matches> (if used in

     custom action files) since its value could contain arbitrary

     symbols.  Thanks for discovery go to the NBS System security

     team

   * [b159eab] do not enable pyinotify backend if pyinotify < 0.8.3

   * [37a2e59] store IP as a base, non-unicode str to avoid spurious messages

     in the console. Close gh-91

- New features:

 * David Engeset

   * [2d672d1,6288ec2] 'unbanip' command for the client + avoidance of
 touching

     the log file to take 'banip' or 'unbanip' in effect. Close
 gh-81, gh-86

 * Yaroslav Halchenko

- Enhancements:

   * [2d66f31] replaced uninformative "Invalid command" message with
 warning log

     exception why command actually failed

   * [958a1b0] improved failregex to "support" auth.backend =
 "htdigest"

   * [9e7a3b7] until we make it proper module -- adjusted sys.path only if

     system-wide run

   * [f52ba99] downgraded "already banned" from WARN to INFO level.
 Closes gh-79

   * [f105379] added hints into the log on some failure return codes (e.g.
 0x7f00

     for this gh-87)

   * Various others: travis-ci integration, script to run tests

     against all available Python versions, etc
