4.5.6 Beta 1 is now available for testing.

Problems Corrected:

1)  The change in Shorewall 4.5.4 that cleared the 'default' table if
     there were no 'fallback' providers broke multiple 'fallback'
     providers that didn't supply a weight. The symptoms were that there
     were host routes to the default gateways in the 'default' routing
     table but no default routes through those gateways.

     This has now been corrected and multiple 'fallback' routes are once
     again supported.

New Features:

1)  Support for size tables has been added in complex TC.

     The OPTIONS column of /etc/shorewall/tcdevices now allows a
     'linklayer' option whose value may be 'ethernet', 'atm' or 'adsl';
     the last two are synonyms.

     When 'linklayer' is specified, it may be followed by additional
     options:

        mtu=mtu - The device MTU; default 2048 (will be rounded up to a
                  power of two)

        mpu=mpubytes - Minimum packet size used in
                       calculations. Smaller packets will be rounded up
                       to this size

        tsize=tablesize - Size table entries; default is 512

        overhead=overheadbytes - Number of overhead bytes per packet.

     See tc-stab (8) for details about these options.

Thank you for testing,
-Tom
