P R O B L E M S C O R R E C T E D I N 4 . 4 . 0 RC1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) The duplicate macro GIT has been deleted.
2) Previously, Shorewall might alter the routing when there were no
providers, even if the "-n" option was given.
3) Previously, NONAT rules on a sub-zone were not exempted from
DNAT/REDIRECT rules of a parent zone.
4) Previously if the ''status'' command was run by someone
other than
root, the response always show that the firewall was stopped and
the state was ''Unknown''. Now an error message is generated
to
indicate that the command may only be run by root.
5) Previously, if ''rpm -U'' was used to upgrade from a version
of
Shorewall earlier than 4.3.5, then Shorewall would not start
automatically at boot time.

1) When a capabilities file is used, ''shorewall6 check (start,
etc.)''
erroneously reports that the capabilities file is out of date.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
N E W F E A T U R E S I N 4 . 4 . 0 RC1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) A new keyword ''any'' may be used in the SOURCE and DEST
columns of
the rules file. In the absense of nested zones, ''any''
works the
same as ''all''. When there are nested zones,
''any'' only selects the
top-level zones. ''any'' is intended to be used with
IMPLICIT_CONTINUE=Yes in shorewall.conf.
