RC 1 Is now available for testing.
Changes since Beta 3:
1) The output of ''show [-f] capabities'' is now sorted to make
individual capabities easier to find.
2) Beginning with this release, ?FORMAT is preferred over FORMAT for
specifying the format of records in these configuration files:
action.* files
conntrack
interface
macro.* files
tcrules
While deprecated, FORMAT (without the ''?'') is still
supported.
Also, ?COMMENT is preferred over COMMENT for attaching comments to
generated netfilter rules in the following files.
accounting
action.* files
blrules files
conntrack
macro.* files
masq
nat
rules
secmarks
tcrules
tunnels
When one of the deprecated forms is encountered, a warning message
is issued.
Example:
WARNING: ''FORMAT'' is deprecated in favor of
''?FORMAT'' -
consider running ''shorewall update -D''.
As the warning indicates, ''update -D'' will traverse the
CONFIG_PATH
replacing FORMAT and COMMENT lines with ?FORMAT and ?COMMENT
directives respectively. The original version of modified files
will be saved with a .bak suffix.
Thank you for testing,
-Tom
