[Shorewall-users] Shorewall 4.5.11 RC 1

[Tom E. <te...@sh...>]

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
