 You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each time
 you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.

+  AUTHOR: feld@FreeBSD.org
+
+  Sshguard has been updated to 1.7.0. There have been several changes to
+  this release. Notably the hosts and ipfilter backends are no longer
+  supported. If you need these backends to be supported and you missed
+  the survey sent out by upstream I urge you to contact upstream.
+
+  The hosts backend was previously served by security/sshguard directly. 
+  The additional backends were slave ports with package name suffixes. I
+  have opted to keep the master/slave port relationship but not choose a
+  specific backend for security/sshguard. Instead it is now a metaport
+  which will prompt you for which backend you prefer. If no backend is
+  configured it will depend on security/sshguard-ipfw, which is the
+  native FreeBSD firewall. This my be surprising to users who depended
+  on security/sshguard which only provided hosts/TCP Wrappers blocking,
+  but there is no replacement at this time.
+
+  If the removed backends return due to user demand they will be added
+  as slave ports for consistency. I apologize for any inconvenience and
+  lack of notice on the deprecation of these features.
