Beta 2 is now available for testing. In addition to the Beta 1 content
and the two patches that I've posted on these lists since Beta 1:

Problems Corrected:

1)  On Debian, Shorewall-init 'down' processing for interfaces that are
    not  optional, required or ignored is now deferred until after the
    interface down. In Beta 1, that processing was being done before
    the interface state was set to DOWN.

2)  The order in which the compiler processes line-continuation (line
    ending in '\') and conditional-inclusion directives (?IF, ?ELSE,
    and ?ENDIF) has been reversed.

    Previously, the compiler built a concatenated line, then checked
    to see if the line began with ?IF, ?ELSE or ?ENDIF. Now, the
    compiler checks for ?IF, ?ELSE or ?ENDIF first and prevents those
    lines from becoming part of the concatenation.

    Example:

        Previously, given these lines and assuming that $FOO was
        non-empty and non-zero:

            ACCEPT:\
            ?IF $FOO
            bar
            ?ELSE
            baz
            ?END

        then the lines would become

            ACCEPT:\?IF $FOO
            bar
            ?ELSE
            baz
            ?END

        Now, they will be become simply

            ACCEPT:bar

Thank you for testing,
-Tom
