1.3.0 is available from the main site -- mirrors will syncronize in 6-12 hours. Features include: 1. The rules syntax for port forwarding and port redirection has been simplified. 2. Compatibility has been maintained with version 1.2 configurations so that users may migrate their configuration at their convenience.

Shorewall 1.3.4 is available: 1. A new /etc/shorewall/routestopped file has been added. This file is intended to eventually replace the routestopped option in the /etc/shorewall/interface and /etc/ shorewall/hosts files. This new file makes remote firewall administration easier by allowing any IP or subnet to be enabled while Shorewall is stopped. 2. An /etc/shorewall/stopped

Beta 1 is now available at: http://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/testing ftp://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/testing This is a minor release of Shorewall. 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. 2) Where a list of IP addresses appears in the DEST column of a

This is a role up of Roger Aich''s fix for DNAT rules that exclude a sub-zone (e.g., DNAT z1!z2 ...). If you don''t need those types of rules then there is no need to upgrade to this version. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy AIM: tmeastep \ http://shorewall.sf.net ICQ: #60745924 \ teastep@shorewall.net

John, I''m taking the liberty of copying the Shorwall Development list since I believe that these issues will be of interest.

Rafa³ Dutko has just discovered a potentially serious bug in version 1.3.0 and 1.3.1. In both versions, where an interface option appears on multiple interfaces, the option may only be applied to the first interface on which it appears. A corrected firewall script for 1.3.1 is available at: http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.1/firewall and

This is just a role up of a fix for DNAT with the source zone = $FW (fw). Unless you have such rules, there is absolutely no need to upgrade. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy AIM: tmeastep \ http://www.shorewall.net ICQ: #60745924 \ teastep@shorewall.net

Shorewall 1.2.4 will have the following changes: a) ''#'' comments now allowed at end-of-line in all config files. b) Firewall zone may be renamed c) Protection against concurrent state-changing operations (start, stop, restart, refresh, clear) d) ''shorewall start'' no longer fails if ''detect'' is specified for an interface with netmask

This is becoming a FAQ and should probably be added to the docs.

Beta code is available at: ftp://ftp.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Beta http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Beta In this release: 1.

There''s a lot new in 1.3.10: 1) You may now define the contents of a zone dynamically with the "shorewall add" and "shorewall delete" commands. These commands are expected to be used primarily within FreeS/Wan updown scripts. 2) Shorewall can now do MAC verification on ethernet segments. You can specify the set of allowed MAC addresses on the segment and you can

The 1.3 Beta Documentation has now been commited to CVS. There will be minor additions to the Documentation between now and release (currently, I''m shooting for release around the middle of next month). Hopefully the new rules syntax will be easier for you folks to deal with in the docs. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy AIM: tmeastep \ http://www.shorewall.net

Shorewall 1.3.9 is available. In this release: 1. DNS Names are now allowed in Shorewall config files (I still recommend against using them however). 2. The connection SOURCE may now be qualified by both interface and IP address in a Shorewall rule. 3. Shorewall startup is now disabled after initial installation until the file /etc/shorewall/startup_disabled is removed. 4. The

I''m beginning to believe that the use of the last column in the rules file to designate redirection/forwarding is too subtle for many users. For 1.3, I think I''ll do something like the following: Current rule: ACCEPT net loc:192.168.1.3 tcp 80 - all New rule: FORWARD net loc:192.168.1.3 tcp 80 Current rule: ACCEPT net fw::3128 tcp 80 - all New rule: REDIRECT net
