Look'n'Stop Firewall 2.07 Released
10.17 2009

Whats New
Additions:
• Windows 7: Registration to the Action Center.
• 64 bits versions: Protocols detection.
• IPV6: Extension headers support (in filtering rules and packet content display).
• Support for ECE & CWR TCP flags (congestion control) in rule edition and packet content display.
• ICMPV6: for packet content display, added some new text description (for types 141 to 147)
• IGMP: display of the type in the log

Modifications:
• One fix for the protocol detection for the 64 bits version
• Rulesets are updated with rules for IPV6 support. This is for a fresh install only. If you'd like to get these rules, please look at this post.
• Vista SP1: Update of the registration to the security center.
• Improvements in protocol detection (available through the registry only).
• For applications starting themselves (typical case: Internet Explorer , it's now the initial application (i.e. the grand-parent application) that is detected as starting the application.
• Default rulesets are updated with IGMP, DHCPV6, and ICMPV6 rules to avoid systematic alerts in Vista/Windows7.
• Packet content display: TCP flags now are indicated through letters
• Software registration now requires an online activation
• Registration text (in "Registration" tab) now updates with the registration status.
• In the tray icon zone, added some alert message on some important events.
• The registry entry:[HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\MaxUserPort] is used to compute the maximum value of local port.

Fixes:
• Sometimes some Application Connections popup contained pathname with "\Device\harddisk0…" format.
• Vista/Windows 7: the starting mode as a Service was sometimes available (notably after opening the Advanced Options dialog box and clicking Ok).
• When the configuration is locked with a password, some menus were no longer disabled after translation with the plugin.
• Some errors/crashes appeared with one of the driver when the Driver Verifier tool was used.
• Application Filtering IPV6: port & IP selection through range & mask were not working properly.
• Application Filtering: fixed a problem when full alerts (with IP and Port) were reported to the log with a high rate flow.

If you update from the 2.07b1, a reboot is required only for the 64 bits version. A reboot is required from previous releases.
Look 'n' Stop Firewall 2.07 will be available from the official site in few days.
