Informal analysis of this release
About DansGuardian:
DansGuardian is an award winning Open Source web content filter which runs on most modern Unix-like operating systems including Linux and Mac OS X. It is a system daemon provided in source code format along with the scripts to compile it. The target users are system administrators and developers. DansGuardian is the web content filtering engine only. Many products including SmoothWall's Network Guardian use it as a central component of the software. DansGuardian provides true web content filtering by examining the actual content of the pages and headers and not simply blocking on an out-of-date-as-soon-as-released URL list like most competitors.
About Daniel Barron (CTO and Technical Director of SmoothWall):
Daniel Barron is the original author and inventor of DansGuardian and was the developer and maintainer up until just after the start of version 2.9. Since then he has been involved in the higher level direction as well as basic sysadmin of DansGuardian. He is the CTO and Technical Director of SmoothWall (smoothwall.com) and, in his spare time, the Guild Barron of Senatus Redux (senatus.nl).
About Philip Allison (Senior Developer at SmoothWall):
Philip has been working on DansGuardian since 2005 as his day job at SmoothWall. He is the principal developer and also the key representative on the DansGuardian mailing list.
