-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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 ftp://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. - -Tom - -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBfDioO/MAbZfjDLIRAnoVAKCTW94JWr5iQeMj/jBwYUoU+nVdJQCfaMvA FKIs5wO5nc+eeFEcG8SIUmE=wZe0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
