The first beta in the 2.2 series is now available. Download location is:
http://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/2.2-Beta/shorewall-2.2.0-Beta1

The features available in this release and the migration considerations
are covered in the release notes. Highlights include:
1. The behavior produced by specifying a log level in an action
invocation is now much more rational. Previously, all packets sent to
the action were logged; now each rule within the invoked action behaves
as if logging had been specified on it.
2. Support for the 2.6 Kernel''s native IPSEC implementation is now
available.
3. Support for ipp2p is included.
4. Support for the iptables CONNMARK facility is now included in
Shorewall.
5. A new LOGALLNEW option facilitates problem analysis.
6. Users with a large static blacklist can now defer loading the
blacklist until after the rest of the ruleset has been enabled. Doing so
can decrease substantially the amount of time that connections are
disabled during shorewall [re]start.
7. Support for the iptables ''iprange match'' feature has
been enabled.
Users whose kernel and iptables contain this feature can use ip address
ranges in most places in their Shorewall configuration where a CIDR
netowrk can be used.
8. Accepting of source routing and martian logging may now be
enabled/disabled on each interface.
9. Shorewall now supports the CLASSIFY iptable target.
The timeline that I''m envisioning is as follows:
a) Beta Releases continuing through December.
b) RC1 sometime in January.
c) 2.2.0 Final in February or March.
