In addition to a significant number of bug fixes, 3.9.7 contains some
new features:

1)  Shorewall-perl now validates all IP addresses and addresses ranges
    in rules. DNS names are resolved and an error is issued for any
    name that cannot be resolved.

2)  Shorewall-perl now checks configuration files for the presense of
    characters that can cause problems if they are allowed into the
    generated firewall script:

    -   Double Quotes. These are prohibited except in the
        shorewall.conf and params files.

    -   Single Quotes. These are prohibited except in the
        shorewall.conf and params files and in COMMENT lines.

    -   Single back quotes. These are prohibited except in the
        shorewall.conf and params files.

    -   Backslash. Probibited except as the last character on a line to
        denote line continuation.

3)  Macros may now invoke other macros with the restriction that such
    macros may not be invoked within an action body.

    When marcros are invoked recursively, the parameter passed to an
    invocation are automatically propagated to lower level macros.

    Macro invocations may be nested to a maximum level of 5.

Happy Testing,

-Tom
