Beta 1 is now available for testing.
Problems Corrected:
1) When ipset version 5 or later was installed, the 'shorewall show
dynamic <zone>' command produced no output, and the 'add' command
failed with this error message:
Zone <zone>, interface <interface> does not have a dynamic
host list"
2) When generating ipset names for dynamic zones, the compiler was
dropping dashes ('-') from the interface name and adding a
unique suffix. For example the chain for zone 'foo' and interface
'bar-if' might be 'foo_barif_1'. Dashes are now retained so the
generated name in this example will be 'foo_bar-if'. This also
allows the 'add' and 'delete' commands to work correctly when the
interface name contains one or more dashes.
Although dash is documented as being an accepted character in ipset
names, names containing a dash were not accepted in all
contexts. That has been corrected.
New Features:
1) In most contexts, Shorewall6 has required IPv6 addresses to be
enclosed in either angled brackets ( <....> , deprecated) or in
square brackets ([....]). This includes network addresses, where
both the IPv6 address and the VLSM are required to be within the
brackets (e.g., [2001;470:b:787::/64]). This is different from the
industry-standard network form which encloses the IPv6 address in
square brackets, with the VLSM following the closing bracket (e.g.,
[2001:470:b:787::]/64). Beginning with this release, the
industry-standard representation is also accepted by Shorewall6.
Note: Those of you who read the patches will have probably
noticed that this change was actually in 4.5.8; because the change
was commited late in the 4.5.8 release cycle, we chose not to
document it until this release to allow for adequate Beta testing.
Thank you for testing,
-Tom
