We have had a stable release this year (on 8 April). So, it will be at least 6 more months, likely 12, before the next. This gives us some breathing room. Since the 3.4 branch is still supported, I intend to create some shorewall4-* packages and just have them conflict with the existing shorewall-* packages. This will ensure that users who prefer to use the legacy 3.x branch can continue do so. The only thing that would cause me to rethink this is if you announce an intent to completely discontinue support for the 3.4 branch within the next 6 to 12 months. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
