inotify backend had already merged into upstream's master branch post 0.8.6 release but there were no upstream release yet. There is an issue reported against functionality of this backend: https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues/44 and it would be great if you could give it some testing. I have updated 'Features' page to refer to github's issues page which would have more information
