[ANNOUNCE] libnftnl 1.2.4 release
Hi!

The Netfilter project proudly presents:

libnftnl 1.2.4

libnftnl is a userspace library providing a low-level netlink
programming interface (API) to the in-kernel nf_tables subsystem.
This library is currently used by nftables.

This release includes two fixes for the printing of the set element
user data area and the removal of an internal function without any
clients.

This release also includes a fix for the nfnetlink .res_id incorrect
endianess. Note that there is a workaround in the kernel that has been
available for a while which is present in -stable releases:

netfilter: nfnetlink: work around wrong endianess in res_id field

Old Linux kernel versions <= 4.9 might break without the above
kernel patch since libnftnl >= 1.2.4.

See ChangeLog that comes attached to this email for more details on
the updates.

Happy firewalling.
