iptables 1.2.7 was released some time today, August 12th. I am working on packages, but I really have no intention to rush things and run into the problems and mistakes experienced with earlier package releases. Most likely, I will do a series of pre-releases -- no one bothered to provide any feedback the last time I did so. Check my web page for info over the next couple of days if you are interested. http://people.debian.org/~ljlane/
