I''m pleased to announce that Shorewall 3.4.0 Beta 1 is available at
ftp://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/development/3.4/shorewall-3.4.0-Beta1 and at
mirror sites world wide.
The release notes can be viewed at
ftp://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/development/3.4/shorewall-3.4.0-Beta1/releasenotes.txt
Release Highlights
1) Shorewall can now be taylored to reduce its footprint on embedded
systems. As part of this change, actions are now completely optional.
See http://www.shorewall.net/Modularization.html for details.
2) Exclusion is now possible in /etc/shorewall/hosts. This is required
for bridge/firewalls under kernel 2.6.20 and later.
See http://www.shorewall.net/NewBridge.html
3) Shorewall and Shorewall Lite now include man pages. There is a
man page for shorewall(8), one for shorewall-lite(8) and one for
each configuration file. As part of this change, all documentation
has been removed from Shorewall configuration files. This should
make it easier from users to upgrade from one release to the next
since the configuration files will only change when a column is added
or renamed.
4) Shorewall now remembers the changes that it has made to routing as a result
of entries in /etc/shorewall/providers and /etc/shorewall/route_rules and
reverses those changes when appropriate.
Happy Beta Testing,
-Tom
