path2ban 7.x-2.3

Bug fixes
New features

This release has two major improvements:

1. It forces Path2ban into either menu callback or hook mode. Previous versions could allow users to use both, potentially resulting in duplication.
2. It includes system status "requirements" to make sure that the settings are set correctly. On previous versions going back to 1.0 the user could delete the site_403 and site_404 entries, silently stopping Path2ban from working.

It has additional minor improvements:

Bug fixes
New features

This release has two major improvements:

1. It forces Path2ban into either menu callback or hook mode. Previous versions could allow users to use both at once (resulting in duplication) or neither just by incorrectly setting the configuration.
2. It includes system status "requirements" to make sure that the settings are set correctly. On previous versions going back to 1.0 the user could delete the site_403 and site_404 entries, silently stopping Path2ban from working [I'm classing this as a bug fix].

It has additional minor improvements:

path2ban 7.x-2.2

New features

Added new entry - hackers sometimes look for swap (temporary) files of settings.php - this prevents that.
Added new feature - a count of blocked visitors, visible on the settings page.

path2ban 7.x-2.1

New features

Allows path2ban that uses a hook as its action. It should be compatible with customised 404 pages such as search 404, and Drupal's core customised 404 pages. The exception is fast_404, because it behaves quite differently. A much lower level hook (e.g. init, boot) would require some Drupal core functions to be duplicated in this module, which I'm hesitant to do.

To enable this feature go to the path2ban config page and check the "Use hook" tick box.

Other feature additions include:

This is the first iteration of path2ban that uses a hook. It should be compatible with customised 404 pages such as search 404, and Drupal's core customised 404 pages. The exception is fast_404, because it behaves quite differently. I am likely to select a different hook for it eventually. A much lower level hook (e.g. init, boot) would require some Drupal core functions to be duplicated, which I'm hesitant to do.

Other maintenance includes the moving of default entries into a separate file.
