Beta 2 is now available for testing.
New features since Beta 1:
1)  The 'conntrack', 'raw', 'mangle' and 'rules'
files now support an
    IPTABLES (IP6TABLES) action. This action is similar to INLINE in
    that it allows arbitrary ip[6]tables matches to be specified after a
    semicolon (even when INLINE_MATCHES=No). It differs in that the
    parameter passed is an iptables target with target options.
    Example (rules file):
       #ACTION				SOURCE	DEST	PROTO
       IPTABLES(TARPIT --honeypot)	net	pot
    If the particular target that you wish to use is unknown to
    Shorewall, you will get this error message:
       ERROR: Unknown TARGET (<target>)
    You can eliminate that error by adding your target as a builtin
    action in /etc/shoreawll[6]/actions.
    As part if this change, the /etc/shorewall[6]/actions file options
    have been extended to allow you to specify the Netfilter table(s)
    where the target is accepted. When 'builtin' is specified, you can
    also include the following options:
    	 filter
	 nat
	 mangle
	 raw
    If no table is given, 'filter' is assumed for backward
    compatibility.
2)  The 'tcpflags' option is now set by default. To disable the option,
    specify 'tcpflags=0' in the OPTIONS column of the interface file.
3)  You may now use ipset names (preceded by '=') in PORT columns,
    allowing you to take advantage of bitmap:port ipsets.
4)  The counter extensions to ipset matches have been
    implemented. See shorewall[6]-ipsets for details.
5)  DROP is now a valid action in the stoppedrules files. DROP occurs
    in the raw table PREROUTING chain which avoids conntrack entry
    creation.
