- update to 3.0
  + Initial translation of code from Python 2 to Python 3. DenyHosts 
    can now be run as either a Python 2 or a Python 3 program. The new 
    code has been tested with Pyhton 2.7 and Python 3.4. If you require
    an older version of Python, please continue to use DenyHosts 2.10
    and let us know of your requirements.
  + Added patch from Fedora to fix initial sync issue and insure info
    logging stream is active. (Provided by Jason Tibbitts.)
  + Added "import logging" to denyhosts.py to avoid errors when setting 
    up logging. (See above change.)
  + Added option PF_TABLE_FILE to the configuration file. When this option
    is enabled it causes DenyHosts to write blocked IP addresses to a text
    file. 
    The default location is /etc/blacklist. This text file should correspond
    to a PF firewall table.
  + At start-up, try to create the file specified by HOSTS_DENY. That
    way we avoid errors later if the file does not exists. Can be a 
    problem on operating systems where /etc/hosts.deny does not exist 
    in the default configuration.
  + Added regex pattern to detect invalid user accounts. This blocks 
    connections from remote hosts who are attempting to login with 
    accounts not found on the local system. While these connections to 
    non-existent accounts are relatively harmless, they are usually used 
    as part of a brute force attack and filtering them before they 
    reach OpenSSH is a good idea.
  + Finally, Jan-Pascal has created a sync server for DenyHosts which 
    will allow DenyHosts services to coordinate lists of banned IP addresses. 
    The new sync server is open source (GPLv3) and can be set up on 
    private servers, networks and VPS. We plan to set up our own sync 
    server in the near future. When a sync server is created it will
