That''s right -- Beta 2! (Beta 1 was uploaded but never announced). Beta 2 has one additional defect repair beyond what is in 4.4.8.1 and these new features: 1) The compiler now auto-detects bridges for the purpose of setting the ''routeback'' option. Auto-detection is disabled when compiling for export (-e option); note that -e is implicit in the ''load'' and ''reload'' commands. 2) When ''trace'' is specified on a command that involves the compiler (e.g., shorewall trace check), the compiler now creates a trace to standard output. Trace entries are of three types: Input --- begin with IN===>. Input read from configuration files. Comments have been stripped, continuation lines combined and shell variables expanded. Output --- begin with GS----->. Text written to the generated script. Netfilter -- begin with NF-(x)->. Updates to the compiler''s chain table, where ''x'' is one of the following: N - Create a chain. A - Append a rule to a chain. R - Replace a rule in a chain. I - Inserted a rule into a chain. T - Shell source text appended/inserted into a chain -- converted into rules at run-time. D - Deleted Rule from a chain C - Compressed the rules array for a chain to remove deleted rules. This renumbers the remaining rules. X - Deleted a chain Netfilter trace records indicate the table and chain being changed. If the change involves a particular rule, then the rule number is also included. Example (append the first rule to the filter FORWARD chain): NF-(A)-> filter:FORWARD:1 If the trace record involves the chain itself, then no rule number is present. Example (Delete the mangle tcpost chain): NF-(X)-> mangle:tcpost 3) Thanks to Vincent Smeets, there is now an IPv6 mDNS macro.
