   e. g. setting `blocktype="DROP"` via jail for action would now apply for IPv4 and IPv6 chains,
   to submit different `blocktype` for IPv4 and IPv6 from jail, one can pass them like in this example:
   `banaction = iptables-ipset[blocktype="...", blocktype?family=inet6="..."]`
+* fixes restoring bans with custom failure-id
 * `jail.conf`:
   - default banactions need to be specified in `paths-*.conf` (maintainer level) now
   - since stock fail2ban includes `paths-debian.conf` by default, banactions are `nftables`
