Housecarl 0.1.1's second release candidate. Since rc.1: shadow mode,
Housecarl's ruleset loaded beside the firewall in force, counting,
logging and tracing what it would drop while changing nothing
(docs/shadow.md). make test (with nft 1.1.3), make e2e (282 checks) and
the systemd package test pass.

Housecarl 0.1.1's first release candidate. Since 0.1.0: an importer
that keeps what rulesets mean in the cases an audit found (chains on one
hook, jumps, repeated matches, forward accepts, raw rules' sets), zone
names given at import, timeout sets as dynamic sets, and multi-port
DNATs. make test (with nft 1.1.3) and make e2e (246 checks) pass.

Housecarl 0.1.0. Since rc.7: the boot ruleset fails closed (a fallback
keeps anything new from the internet out if it doesn't load), the
flowtable follows devices that appear later or reconnect, /healthz for
monitoring, renaming zones, sets and services with their references,
and an import that keeps a chain's head in order. make test (with nft
1.1.3) and make e2e (242 checks) pass.

Housecarl 0.1.0's seventh release candidate. Since rc.6: statistics
over time (traffic per zone and device, drops, blocked sources, hits,
connections, quotas, the machine). make test (with nft 1.1.3) and make
e2e (188 checks) pass.

Housecarl 0.1.0's sixth release candidate. Since rc.5: the zone
matrix, what the rules do to new connections between zones. make test
(with nft 1.1.3) and make e2e (166 checks) pass.

Housecarl 0.1.0's fifth release candidate. Since rc.4: the connections
the firewall tracks, and closing them; rules that check every packet,
so a block stops connections already open; and a packet tracer that
follows packets through every table's rules. make test (with nft
1.1.3), make e2e (157 checks) and the package test pass.

Housecarl 0.1.0's fourth release candidate. Since rc.3: undo is staged
like any edit, each chain's built-ins have a window of their own, the
dashboard warns while nftables.service is enabled or an imported table
still applies, and raw rules and dynamic sets refuse fields they used to
ignore silently. make test (with nft 1.1.3), make e2e (140 checks) and
the package test pass.

Housecarl 0.1.0's third release candidate. Since rc.2: changes made over
the network are confirmed by the client that made them, once it reaches
Housecarl again over a new connection (a change that cuts it off rolls
back by itself), and the rule dialog keeps its less used parts behind
"+" buttons. make test (with nft 1.1.3) and make e2e (136 checks) pass.

Housecarl 0.1.0's second release candidate. Since rc.1: nftables maps
are imported; changes can be staged in changesets, reviewed with the
ruleset's diff and applied together (the web UI's default, as in Jarl);
bandwidth limits and quotas (per rule or per address, reset on a
schedule, kept across reboots); and generic examples. make test (with
nft 1.1.3) and make e2e (120 checks) pass.

Housecarl 0.1.0's first release candidate: an nftables firewall manager
with zones, address sets, services and ordered rules, IPv4 and IPv6, port
forwards with hairpin NAT and IPv6 pinholes, source NAT, redirects,
built-ins, probation for network changes, the ruleset at boot, hits and
the drop log, nftables import, a web UI, REST API and CLI. make test
(with nft 1.1.3), make e2e (71 checks) and the package test pass.

Housecarl will be a firewall manager for nftables, built the way Jarl and
Steward are: housecarld (a daemon with a REST API and web UI), hc (the
CLI) and SQLite.
- The logo: a carved Nordic doorway in Jarl's blue (artwork/logo.svg),
with a small version without the carvings, lighter on dark
backgrounds. scripts/logo.py builds the web UI's copies and
scripts/banner.py the README banner.
- The HOUSECARL wordmark in Jarl's and Steward's angular letters, with
new H, O, U and C (assets/brand.js), and the UI's color tokens.
- housecarld and hc print their version; the Makefile, version package,
AGENTS.md, CHANGELOG and the design sketch (docs/design.md).
