1)  Previously, a 'done.' message could be printed at the end of
    command processing even when the command had failed. Now, such a
    message only appears if the command completed successfully.

1)  On systems running Upstart, shorewall-init cannot reliably secure
    the firewall before interfaces are brought up.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1)  The shell variables set in /etc/shorewall/params
    (/etc/shorewall6/params) are now available at run-time with
    EXPORTPARAMS=No. The EXPORTPARAMS option is now deprecated and the
    released /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf and
    /etc/shorewall/shorewall6.conf have been modified to specify
    EXPORTPARAMS=No.

2)  The INCLUDE command may now be used in the following extension
    scripts:

        clear
        findgw
        init
        isusable
        refresh
        refreshed
        restored
        start
        started
        stop
        stopped
        tcclear

     The command is executed during compilation so that the INCLUDEd
     file is copied into the generated script. This same technique is
     also now used for INCLUDE directives in the params
     file when EXPORTPARAMS=Yes. Previously, INCLUDE directives were
     strongly discouraged with EXPORTPARAMS=Yes because the INCLUDE was
     performed on the firewall system rather than on the administrative
     system.

Thank you for testing,
-Tom
