I''ve decided to produce snapshots each time that I complete a change to Shorewall. These snapshots will have undergone initial testing and I will be running them here at shorewall.net. The snapshots will be available at: http://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Snapshots ftp://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Snapshots Snapshots will carry a version number of the form: <base version>_YYYYMMDD Support for snapshots will be via the Shorewall Development list (shorewall-devel@shorewall.net). I''ve released a snapshot today that is named shorewall_1.4.5_20030618. That snapshot contains the following changes. Problems Corrected: 1) A problem seen on RH7.3 systems where Shorewall encountered start errors when started using the "service" mechanism has been worked around. New Features: 1) A ''newnotsyn'' interface option has been added. This option may be specified in /etc/shorewall/interfaces and overrides the setting NEWNOTSYN=No for packets arriving on the associated interface. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy Shoreline, \ http://www.shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net
