News and Announcements / Re: Zentyal 3.5 Roadmap announced (some modules moved to Contrib)
« on: June 19, 2014, 07:55:02 pm »
Personally I would like to see the L7 Filters be kept, I mean it's simply a module right now anyway. For the people that don't want to use it, simply don't install the module... right?
The L7 Filters have been picked back up for development by the ClearFoundation: http://l7-filter.clearfoundation.com/
The development on it is slow and the protocols are still yet to be re-vamped.
However the L7 Filter for some is an essential part of the OS as some of us like my self use this server as a gateway server for the rest of the devices on the network. QoS is an essential feature of any router these days and even the current implementations of DD-WRT/OpenWRT and Tomato router firmware replacements all still use these old L7 Filters.
So why not just leave the module in the package and allow the users to use it if they want to? It can't be that much more work to simply maintain the module with the new distro/zentyal versions is it?
EDIT:
Uh, just noticed Bandwidth Monitor module is being removed too, along with User Corner & Captive Portal. I don't use the last two my self, just don't really understand the need to be remove any of these modules really. These are all modules and are part of the reason that make zentyal great. You can install the modules that you want and not install the ones you don't. I was also disappointed when the Thin-Client module was removed back in v3.1 was it? That was a nice feature as well, seems like I'll be sticking with Zentyal v3.3 until the end of support for 12.04 LTS.
