Shorewall 4.6.10 RC 1 is now available for testing.

Problems Corrected since Beta 2:

1)  Previously, if SAVE_IPSETS=ipv4 (or ipv6) but the configuration did
    not use ipsets, then a superfluous warning message was issued:

      WARNING: Invalid value (ipv4) for SAVE_IPSETS

    That warning is now suppressed.

2)  Previously, the algorithm used to normalize the probabilities
    defined in the 'load' provider option was incorrect and could
    result in probabilities > 1.0. When this occurred, the firewall
    would fail to start.

New Features since Beta 2:

1)  Several changes have been made to the processing of the 'load'
    option in provider files:

    - load values are normalized to 8-digit precision and 10-byte
      length.
    - a warning is issued if the sum of the loads is not 1.000000.
    - if the normalized probability for an interface is >=
      1.000000 then the probability match part of the generated rule is
      omitted.

2)  There is now an ipv6 'findgw' skeleton file.

Thank you for testing,

-Tom
