Shorewall 4.5.6 RC 1 is now available for testing.
Problems corrected since Beta 4:
1) In the generated script, the logic for handling wildcard interfaces
with the ''wait=n'' option was incorrect. For each matching
interface,
the script would check its readiness n times in rapid
succession. The script now sleeps 1 second between checks.
2) Previously, the tcrules file was not processed when
TC_ENABLED=No. That meant that to use features like TPROXY without
also using traffic shaping, it was necessary to set TC_ENABLED=Yes
and create a dummy /etc/shorewall/tcstart file. Now, only
MANGLE_ENABLED=Yes is required.
