[nycbug-talk] pfSense 1.2 released

[Charles Sprickman]

Top posting because it's only tangentially related.  Also I am in no way 
associated with the project, but I have no problem asking for money on 
their behalf since pfsense is such a great product...

PFSense has a "bounty" system where people can pledge money for features 
they'd like to see developed.  One oft-requested feature is a rewrite of 
the traffic shaper to include all kinds of fancy stuff like working across 
more than two interfaces and the like.

Many pledged, work was done, not everyone followed up:

Perhaps some small donations (like mine) from random users could help 
compensate the developer(s) for the hard work done on this feature.

That's all,

C
